Semester 1/2009 Post-Exam

Woah.. Sure is shag to handle four different papers. Hmm.. What has just ended was a nightmare I remember.. It's Corporations Law. It's madness I say.. Even though it's an open book examination, even though it's a 3 hours paper, even though it's merely ten short questions and two structured questions, but, it's crazy de lor. Never did I stopped a second to reconsider on the things I have written and thinking time is in minutes..

Almost could I sing the 'what you waiting' song. Tick tock tick tock, the times up. Hands aching from all the busy flipping and scribbling. Havoc me. Hmm.. but glad all is over, finally over for now. Seemingly, it's hard to tell which of my classmate is confident of their grades and whose not.. but I am sure I am not one of those who is at the very least.

Been up for couple of nights consecutively now that I remember, the only thing that I ever wanted after the examination was rest, rest and more rest. Almost sounding like a swine, but more skinny and taller.. hehehe =D And that paper marks my last paper.. But that also marks the end of the most enjoyable semester I ever had till now. The kind of activeness and fun and less lonely semester.

What's going to be my next concern is none other than Semester 2 modules, the start of the cycle begins with an end. But that, I shall save it for the next time.

My Studies Progression

A new Trimester started: Trimester 1, 2009. Finally the usually long and not so packed time plan with the study loads I chose to take. This Trimester, I have of course chosen to take four modules as well. And it has by far, just started with this week. The study plan is pretty tightly placed side by side, but then, by the outline of it, it is just fine as it should be. Oh, talking about my this Trimester reminded me to speak of my Trimester 3 of last year. I am sure you will be very curious to know what kind of grade did I get for that right?

Well, it wasn't bad at all, it was not bad, just that it wasn't something that I had planned for at all. It was so called "sub-standard" grades all thanks to the unresponsive results of assignments and online tests. But good enough to not to retake the modules and delay my course plan, yup I scored Ps (Passes) and Cs (Credits) for my four modules in an even manner. And so, it wasn't so bad at the end of the day.

And so due to the exam results, I have decided to plan a pre-attempt to finish the required assignment to perfection and not last-minute preparation in order to earn more marks for my final results for this Trimester. And only after that that I would go out and get on with getting into a part-time job once again. And luckily for this time, I was given roughly four main assignments and one online test, and that one online test is for my Business Finance Module.

Good going and hoping for a smooth sailing as well. Having hiccups here and there doesn't mean that I shouldn't get on with whatever that is waiting for me in the future right.. Just got to learn and let things go. Oh, and for my this Trimester, I am so much happier.. I have found myself a friend to study Business Communication Module with and a very potent Barrister as my lecturer for my Corporation Law Module.

And curiously, for the past three Trimester that I took I seemed to be taught by these two lecturers for which ever I selected.. Miss Ricci Loh and Mr Harjinder. Very remarkable lecturers, but then, I just didn't know whats the problem lies in for me to under-perform under their supervision and guidance. But I guess the best modules that happens to also be quite a challenge (it basically means killer modules) are Audit and Taxation.

Oh and I think I do enjoy Business Communication very much. The lecturer is so chirpy and can present herself really well.. And the best part is, you are not required to learn a lot and remember and apply them. But more like learning in specific on how to totally deliver and present in multiple manners to multiple audiences and stuffs like that.. I think that's the kind of less brain, more interaction modules that I enjoy bah.

Edios for now, remember to come back and visit my blog often than not.. =D Have a nice weekday!

Post-Examination: 2008 Trimester 3

Holly crap, finally it's all over.. Finally now I can call it a 2009 for the real time.. Finally I can take a really really deep breathe and say, 'so long 2008!'. My sleepless nights, and brain-drained days have finally come to some end and am going to celebrate it with lots of sleep (well-deserved ones) be it the grades that is going to come out in weeks more time to be good or bad. I missed the touch of my bed badly. Hugs~

The papers tormented me with multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions as well as structured questions and finally I can rest my eyes without the need to give any answers of any sorts now. But then again, recapping the whole exam thingy is kind of bad. I wasn't really that well prepared for some of the paper after all and one of those expected to perform slightly below averaged was Management. Reason: I didn't have any classes to attend, thus relaxed on my revision.

And the next not-so well prepared ones are none other than Business Law. Dang, and only until my paper do I understand that my lecturer was kind of crapped the application of principles up. My revision was quite minimal and yet this minimal revision was with the information my lecturer was focusing on a lot with the classes. I am sure most of my classmates would agreed that the application of Law was somehow or another being mistaken for.

Hmm.. initially I thought, Business Law should be compared to the rest, slightly easier (at least for me) due to the understanding that I don't need to memorize facts, just need to know where to get those available information and how to apply them. Usually the memory part would deal me great deal of trouble, due to one part of my human flaws: forgetfulness.

Well, other then the above two mentioned modules, my Economics Principles were not bad. But just not that perfect that's all. All the required information was a spot-on and the answering was quite smooth, just didn't got the chance to remember some information left and right, and thus, wasted some critical argument point and marks around and about.

And not to forget about the last not mentioned modules being Fundamentals of Finance. God.. I sure did slipped another few lots of important points and some definitive stuffs. Overall a ok. Hmm, just did a bit of regret that I didn't check my Yahoo Mail earlier before I prepare for the exam. As the focus given by the unit chair have left out something, she decided to compensate us by revealing the one question that was told to left out in the preparation of exam. Well, and if I did check my Yahoo Mail, then I would have so called picked up 'free given marks' le. Sadly, no.

Pre-Examination: 2008 Trimester 3

This is the one of those days that I would be like touching lots of papers and books, pens and notes, surfing my online references and doing past year papers.. Yes, the determining day is round the corner, determining how well will my papers be graded with the already gotten marks through assignments and tests.. Which is in fact one of the few things I really do frown over..

You see, with the aid of something like assignments and online tests, it can really bring the marks closer to what the examinations, and in fact is one of those potential helps around anyway. Especially with the nature or assignments and online tests which are certain and clear, ample of time and space and best is still the availability of resources and information which doesn't need to be memorized but only apply to the required. What's more can one students ask for?! Erm.. Actually there is, like, let their weightage of marks be more than examination lor.. >_<

Hmm.. Anyway, what's done is done.. If you have to know, all I scored for my assignments and online tests are just passes by the scrap of the borderline. And that means, they will so call "pull down" my marks in the way that I have lost those marks even before my exam paper.. And that explains my next part, work doubly hard in revision for my exam papers.

One of the most important factor in determining an examination's preparation is none other than the exam schedule, and that seems to be on my side, but not perfectly my side, just enough to get things work out. And second would be the availability and clarity of requirements of information needed to be gone through for the paper. And that would mean in short 'the focus'. And the range would be wide or narrow focus..

Wide focus would means you have to get everything in your head, if possible, EVERYTHING.. If not possible, some important facts of everything. And narrow focus would means concentration on the application portion rather than elaboration on the facts and information. Hmm.. after all these things I shared, all boils down to one final thing, give it your Ultimate God Damn best shot! XD Hmm.. Oh, anyway, I'll be having two papers one after the other this coming week and other two papers one after the other the next coming week.

Give me all the available luck and blessings!

Getting Busy.. Busy.. Busier.. Busiest

Busy, is the one word and only word I can use to describe the feeling. You know all the posts that came late, the MIA (Missing In Action) act and the unheard unseen unspoken presence.. Well, yes, is all the contribution to and from this: Cause I am BUSY!

One sole contribution to busy is none other than my School. Dang! I never did expected that is what do they means by Trimester 3 is shorter.. You know, for what I used to have in my mind is 'oh, 1 year there's 12 months.. therefore, per Trimester should be roughly 4 months period..'. Unfortunately, for the Christ sake, after I experienced it, and I got to tell you, Trimester 3 is indeed shorter. Oh, and more screwed up as well, after all, Christmas is in Trimester 3 so is lots of breaks and stuffs for the Australians..

Well, it's as well, my first attempt to cope with four modules in a Trimester. Very bad move, but then, I suppose I am going to do it again in 2009 Trimester 3. Hmm.. Anyway, like I said, I chosen four modules that Trimester. It's in a way fortunate as they are pretty foundational modules that starts with 'Principles of...', 'Fundamentals of...', etc. And one of which is Business Law, a pre-requisite of Corporation Law.

Hmm.. the Lecturer is this middle-aged Lawyer and my classes are generally scheduled on Saturdays. Yup, it is indeed something to be damned over. Studying Law modules on a peaceful and completely-harmless weekend. If considering my sleeping habits, you can truly say that my Saturday will be left with eight hours before Sunday arrives. Well, that's how it is. The Business Law class is somewhat only consist of less than 10 students such as myself and the number randomly adds or minus depending on moods and liking.

What do you expect for a dry subject such as Business Law? Anyway, it is one of those modules that exam paper requires 3 hours (common) and yet there don't seem to have enough time to do the paper (uncommon). Oh, and the best part, it is the few modules that allows the students to bring books and notes in, yup, it's an open book sort. Oh, on top of that, even something so part-time such as work, brings about my busy-ness.. Sighz!

Some work that I am only required to work for ten working days (in a month) and yet, filled up my time slots pretty much from time to time. When time permits, I would be out with friends and be doing revision.. Oh, and after a round of evaluating, you guess what, the whole short Trimester took me about 3 months time, and got me like on/off six assignments and three online tests which consists of two online tests being divided into ten different tests which at the end of all will be compiled together to get a total for the online tests.

And one new experiences of another module which I obviously have overlooked a lot and it is Management. The reason for my under-estimation of it is due to the fact that there's no classes scheduled for part-time students like me who usually if there's classes be held in the evening of weekdays, or in the afternoon of a weekend. So, there's more reason for me to read on my own the materials and making sense out of the power point slides, online reading articles, notes and study guides, and voice recordings.

Oh well, wish me good luck.. Examinations in February man!

Happy Birthday Shahul korkor

Wow, time really flies I tell you. The birthday of Shahul is once again here.. During this day or around this corner, in fact is rarely seen as the best time of the year. And to be more specific, marks the most busy time of the year. The very time when all students in Singapore gets all fired up and mug for the exam, 'O' Levels, 'A' Levels, Polytechnics, Universities, etc. And those that's not studying, are probably working real hard to get things huge loads done on time so as not to work Over-Time. I and Shahul and the rest ain't spared as well... But nonetheless, we celebrated.

I got to say that, this is Shahul's first ever time to celebrate his birthday 'decently' just in case you don't know (yeah, poor Shahul korkor). The day just seems ever so resilient to stay and marks his birthday without giving it the means of celebrating just so by the academic system. Maybe this is what people use to say 'someone always got to sacrifice'. But then again, people born during this period are people of substance and power.. And probably someone influential as well I believe. Shahul is one good example. Can't imagine if Shahul is a Rainbow activist or Political figure of some country... *shivers*

Anyway, this day is a very calm and cool day. I spent my time mugging on my available resources and Shahul, spending time with his (biological) sister who born of the same day, one year after his. Oh, by the way, I'm the first to greet Shahul korkor 'Happy Birthday' (12.00MN) hehee.. And had a short meet up at my void deck in the night. So sweet to get to spend even a tiny-winy bit of time with him before he make his way back. But seriously, the relationship Shahul had really tolled on his energy and his charisma. Feels really sad that this gotta happen this year. Anyway, 2008 was never a year I looked forward for I suppose (but 2010 is...) I think I shall mark it as the Top 10 worst year ever.

Oh, korkor got me a Double Cheese Burger from Mac Donald's thinking I'll go hungry over the night. Isn't that sweet? How sweet can a person get... =) Hmm.. that's one of my favorite fast foods' food by the way. Yummy.. Something I left out, and minutes before Shahul met up with me was Patrick. And got me some cakes for the night as well.. So sweet also. I always got the fate to meet up with all the sweetest people on Earth and never got much problem with knowing people.. But it just don't seems to be the case with others. Hahaa.. How cute the World can get huh. Really been well pampered lately.. can't get too comfy and start to get all lazy now :)

And now, I gotta stick my notes up my face and get ready for my Econs paper tommorrow. Cheer for me okay~ Wish me luck and sleep for me. Wow, seeing myself growing eye bags for the very first time.. Gotta start learning how to take better care of my face and eyes le. Edios!

The only time when I won't sleep for the night is when...

... I gonna sit for my paper in only few hours time. Not much about anxious, but lots about how little sleep I get and how tired my eyes are. So much to see, read and find out.. so little time to do it. And worse of all, I haven't even take the initiative to find out how to get to my examination venue. Apparently I thought my examination should be at where I go and attend classes.. Wrong assumption. Checking from my resources, I gotta go RELC Building to take my paper. RELC Building.. duh.. never heard before. As a well-known directionless and knows nothing about road-location fool, I don't know lah..

Spent 30minutes doing route planning and time allocations, I planned to leave home at 11am when my paper is at 2pm.. too important to miss. Got back to my study after that. You know how do I study for exams when I gotta make myself stay up for productive hours? LOL (Laugh Out Loud), let me share with you one of my last year adopted effective trick, Time Ratio Management. For me I like to look at hour slots of 6hours, you could try 12hours though, but always remember the longer a time slot is, the easier you feel demotivated. Meaning how much hour do I think I can study non-stop in 6hours? For a more relaxed pace, I would think 1:1 is good, and in 6hours would means study for 3hours and rest for 3hours.. And that made up one time slot.

For me, a more intensive plan would be 1:5 (studying for 5hours and rest for 1hour). Of course, I didn't see a need to do that for this paper.. I choose 1:2 (default ratio). And so, accordingly, I spent 4hours studying and 2hours resting. So, you learned something new about keeping yourself awake for mugging culture >_= But try not to do it for too many days, apparently human motivation have higher upkeep as this method is used for too long a time. Any backfire email me, so that I'll avoid it happening. But until now that I used it for a year plus and nothing unexpected happened to me yet.

And for this time, my mind ain't as calm as my previous years of mugging experience. I guess the X in the Universe is trying to create interesting things in my boring situation of mugging. Both suspicious and sweet, this un-calmness is like fire or even double-edged sword. If things are not under proper control, may get out of hand.. And a bit restless after hours of studying even though the memorization flow is not very effective. And one thing very sad about me mugging, is that I cannot listen to song or music. Somehow it helps my mind to relieve tension and relax mind processing information at the same time and cause information leak thereafter.

Really looking forward for the paper and the gathering after that. And not to mention: the nice, warm and cosy bed I get to sleep after hours of intensive study and sleepless night. Gotta mug for now, cheer me on... hugs and kisses.

One Accounting Module Paper.. Coming up

Time to set my mind right and start something decent and proper, something which probably the norm of Singapore studying culture, mugging for examinations. Apparently from what Shahul korkor emphasized to me, foreign academic culture doesn't practice mugging as much as Singapore. Well, if mugging is what I need, mugging is what I get. I did plan to get well for my exam results you know... But of course, I do balance the result with my effort in preparing for the exam, so examination result is a good reflection of my effort for the paper. And so, I never fear examinations (for the wrong reason)...

Examination falls on Friday and Tuesday is still not too bad. A good distance away from the exam to make a difference in myself and my performance in the exam. They do have a weird way of grade classification I tell you.. here's how my module's grade classification is in real:

• HD (High Distinction) score falls between 80-100
• D (Distinction) score falls between 70-79
• C (Credit) score falls between 60-69
• P (Pass) score falls between 50-59
• N (don't know call what) score falls between 0-49
• XN generally means no work assessed

And guess what, I plan to go for minimum of D and possiblity of HD.. Good news, I am ambitious with my grades.. Bad news, I can be pretty hard on myself if I didn't get it. Oh well, but I am pretty confident with my ability on my Accounting modules generally, afterall, the knowledge of Accounting revolves all around either Accountants or Auditors (and similar operational nature). For a minute, I regretted not taking 4 modules this semester, really gotta clear my modules in the fastest and not overpowered effort.

For this paper, I have prepared 5 sets of past year papers on the same module and plan to look through their logical and acceptable method of dealing with the questions which have possibility to come out. Topics picking is very tempting but can be pretty subjective at times, guess I gonna try the Trend Question Setting method and Marks Allocation on Topic Focus method for this paper. Not gonna try and stay up too late... Wish me tons of luck, okay~

X+Y = SEX? Ya this is TRUE

I came across this interesting "thing" in Trevvy today and say this in Missing Connection and caught my attention. This "unusual" post seems to be slightly 'bo liao' (in Hokkien. Chinese: wu liao. English: boring) But then again, since it took my attention, so just read it. And so it says:

'x + y = love or sex??

X + Y = SEX and Not Love right? or ?

Ha Ha
Boy + Girl = Love & Sex
Boy + Boy = SEX
Why?

Simple math logic pls as below......
Boy + Girl = Love & Sex
Reason : They are normally steady and this is normal cos they will ended up having a proper family and get legal married.

Boy + Boy = SEX
Reason : Both Boy having Sex is not proper in local by law. However.....

No Sex = No Love = Everything is NO Cos CAN't Click pls

Have SEX = Can Click = Everything also OK

Thus, if everything is = OK....So it means Both of these 2 boy are attached either as lover or as sex buddy or as good friend or as close shopping buddy etc.....

To the cute guy who is looking for the ans this is the reply cos U are a cute nice TOP but too bad I am Top also MUCK haha'
by crystalgear (24 Oct 2008)

I read this a total of five to ten times, and start thinking in my mind of everything.. whether it make sense or not, whether is that information accurate, the nature of my analytical state of mind's response, etc. And here's my few conclusions:

"Top" gay man can't think that deeply into a specific issue without the emphasize on Sex. As of on top, it is clearly stated so with some loopholes, such as, 'Boy + Boy = SEX; Reason : Both Boy having Sex is not proper in local by law' and 'No Sex = No Love = Everything is NO'. For the first instance, we are comparing this statement with 'Boy + Girl = Love & Sex; Reason : They are normally steady and this is normal cos they will ended up having a proper family and get legal married.' The obvious differentiation in this two variations are Boy + Boy and Boy + Girl.. Sociology once again (Anson's and mine hot topic). The problem with this sentence lies in the norm expectations of Boy are meant to have a Girl instead of Boy, which if you look properly into the aspect of the even BIGGER picture, it displays uncertainty with this norm implications.

Law comes into the picture of Love. Should it be the case in the first place? Just because Matrimony bonding are recognized by Law, this this stuff is legalised by Law, that that thing is not legalised by Law, thus people thought Law is the next thing to depend on. BIG mistake.. Law is formed on the society upbringing and acceptance. Human forms the society when human belongs to you and I. But in this 'you and I' it does not take into consideration of a lot of things, for instance, a more related consideration is sexual orientation. Why? Cause Law is suppose to be a fair medium, non-biased. And since human is imperfect (a literally correct statement), then we can make a reasonable assumption saying that Law is imperfect. When it comes to something non-definable subject such as Love, it should refrain from the implications of Law even if Law prosecutes.

'Have SEX = Can Click = Everything also OK'??? The ability to enjoy an activity (in this case sex) really represents the ability to have relate two person together.. is this even a good assumption? Coming out from a gay man (in this case, I think top or bottom isn't an issue), I guess, the only thing that actually went through the mind coming out with such equation is actually the desired part of outcome, Sex. The "body of the formula" that suppose to be the components to make up the answer has not been carefully and accurately considered... FAIL! Let me put it in a more straightforward manner: 'Have SEX = Can Click' is it totally true? 'Have SEX = Everything also OK' is it totally true? 'Can Click = Everything also OK', is it totally true? How about a NO for an answer.

From all these, I learned three new things: I sure am ART-streamed talented. Ignorant people is still running free hurting innocent (somewhere in this picture was me). It's gonna take hell of a effort for me to find that someone.

P.S. In case anyone thinking if the cute guy is it me, the answer is no, I was just a passer-by of the C.A.P. post.

Brown Sugar Macchiato

I have just finished watching this Taiwan drama serial, Brown Sugar Macchiato. The overall is not bad at all, maybe I'll grade it 3.5 out of 5. A short and sweet kind of show which revolves around a bunch of young kids. Below is the drama summary:

One day, six boys with different personalities and backgrounds are notified they shared the same father. And on top of that they are entitled to a large inheritance. There is only one catch. They must attend the same school and live in the same house for one year to become loving brothers. But, the boys not only hate each other, they have to deal with nine mean girls from their class. Will the brothers band together and successfully pass the inheritance test? Or, will falling in love with their classmates pull them farther apart? --DramaWiki (Crunchyroll, 2008)

Here is the website if you are interested and bored and feeling low, down and unloved: Brown Sugar Macchiato. (Just click the episodes at the 'Latest Videos')

And slightly updating of my another interesting week. Yesterday, I met up with my cousin, Y.B., to do revision, study, and for me is to get my assignment starting. The interesting thing about the situation is that, she is capable to handle my assignment simply just a bit of reading and recap. And I, too, am able to help her with her revision is either the Law part or the Ecology part due to my secondary school education to have Geography background and Diploma to have Law background.

And so, under this "twist of fate", we spent twice as much energy and effort to try and understand each other point as we would try and help each other out. And Y.B. share this interesting YouTube video with me saying it's her Ecology lecturer shared this with her first. Enjoy!

Where the hell is Matt
by Matt Harding and Melissa Nixon


I was so amazed watching it with my cousin. Seeing all the places being filmed and stuffs, and I kind of enjoy the music as well as the "feel" this video has exposed me to. I and Y.B. then was like saying wouldn't it be nice if we the cousins could one day detach from the wings of our parents and travel together.. blar blar blar. Anyway, have a nice weekend and enjoy okay?!

P.S. I think I later got to make a trip to the dentist, my right-side gum really hurts. =(

The Greatest "Mistake" All-time: Wikipedia

Disclaimer: The below contains objective information. The information herein are subjected to individualism. Please be warned that the author shall not be liable to any form of responsiblities. Short to say, if there is anything wrong with the post contents, don't blame it on the owner. And by reading it, you are reading it at your own will and shall abide the above. JamesW850i


I don't know what's the wrong about people nowadays. Seemingly, I have this weird problem with people in general. The thing is, whenever in topic or in reference, people likes to refer to this one website called Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Until now it sounds totally alright, and doesn't seems to have any problem, right? No, wrong! This IS the problem. Let me explain further and I hope all readers that trip over this post will understand the issue.

Wikipedia is created with the contents of volunteered work, information, perceptions, and understanding. This is to say that anyone can be a contributor to the website, and anyone can be an article writer. This low barrier of content is the information we all would refer to as knowledge. With this in mind, do you mind ask yourself a question: How accurate can the information be, understanding that Quality Control (QC) is this low?

Most articles can be edited by anyone with access to Internet. A very bad example of amendment, improvemental or enhancement management. How so? Since Wikipedia is created with the ability to share information across Internet, it would means that whoever wrote an article may, or may not (in most case) know the people that reads them. Not to even think about the people that edits the same article, can be re-edited by millions of other people, leading to more unreliable information implant into the original information. First, is caused a sense of lost of originality in the information; second, the lost of accuracy in communicating information.

It is stated that articles contain 'significant misinformation, unencyclopedic content, or vandalism'. But it seems like most user that I know, isn't aware of this. And I am sure a lot or in fact the majority of the people who studies or are young student refers to Wikipedia for information and isn't aware of this. And I guess the most stupidest (as in folly) mistake would be to use it in a graded academic assignment, project or report.

After sharing so much, actually, if you are interested to read the original thing (the most true thing), you can visit HERE. Oh, and back to topic. You know what makes me really come to the point to write this? Everyone take the information for real! My cousin does, my friend does, for now the only person I know who doesn't is Chris. For he is a lecturer and a PhD and he knows the academic lookouts. The rest, is either lazy, take things for granted, or don't be bothered.

Some bottom line from me: you want to refer to Wikipedia, is not exactly a problem. But know what you are reading and treat it as casual information if you must use them, but not treating as the ultimate knowledge. And even if you must, kindly learn from their sources then, at least it does not subject to casual re-editions. Last, if you can't do any of those, then just don't refer to it, this will do you better than mislead your mind with false information.

D is not Decision, is Dreams

I thought it would be cool and relevant to bring back some understanding on a very alienated topic to the residents of Singapore and more significantly, friends. Topic on dreams. Not in the context of a visual during sleep, and also not in the context of building castle in the sky. But is the spark of all hopes, is believed to be dreams (at least that's what I do believe).

I don't know why it came to my mind to speak of this fundamental freedom of thinking. But I know it is going to make the difference to the people that sees, understands and evaluates it. Dreams are very important, but sad to say, in the present context of living and rationality, the extend of outreach only arrives at hopes and opportunities. It doesn't only applies to work, academic, social, project, entrepreneurship. It also applies to something even closer than all these, such as life, relationships, and friends.

The topic of discussion makes me feel a bit awkward as well, since the last time that I had a proper thought of dreams is when I was in secondary one (OMG!) and after that, I didn't go back to it again. And my dreams then was to overcome domestic pets' health just the same way MOH (Ministry of Health) would to the residents. Sounds good then, but the only reason why it has yet to be achieved is due to the understanding that I didn't properly cared for my studies then (LOL!).

Back to dreams. Why am I talking about dreams now then? Inclined towards love in relationship (especially something so exclusive such as homosexual serious relationship), I guess the only thing I can established now is the dream of the one man. And only by so, I am willing to put to try my last and only trust in having a fulfilling relationship in man. To also give this one man an opportunity to my vulnerability which no other things, no one and situations can access to.

In conjunction to discouragement of social acceptance to gay (or may I say it as, discrimination to homosexuality), my dream was that, may the gay community grows to be the majority and thus, leads to acceptance and appreciation of rainbow culture. It is not a futuristic thinking or what, but that, I believe that since gays can accept heterosexuality in the society, and even condone to metrosexuality (could also be a cover-up, as metrosexuals are believed to be straight), so why can't it be reciprocated? Since what the gay community needs is only acceptance and freedom, why not? It isn't like trying to legalize satanism in the Nation right..? (Comparable??)

Next, inclined towards my (gay) family and members, dream is to stay as the way a family would, live through thick and thin with the support and understanding at periods and moments of needs. And on top of that, we will forever be there for the priority of attention doesn't goes anything lesser than siblings and family members. The bottom-line of it is: We are family!

And one last thing, think of what dreams it would be in application to what you are facing. I am sure we all have dreams, don't extinct such an invaluable and sacred benefit. And always remember, sub-consciously we usually would take things for granted, so don't let it happen to dreams. The power to dream, gives the power to change, and leads to the power to live a better tomorrow (James Theory). Have a fun time reading and thinking. JamesW850i sign off

Love Unlimited

Looking at relationship from a little depressing point of view, sometimes, a little differentiation wouldn't hurt. Why the Love? Whether or not PLU Love got potential future? Love versus Lust? Love versus Hate? Bla Bla Bla... Sad to see, more sad to hear, sadist to say. What always seems to be a good choice, or a better choice in Love, usually ended up with blood pool in the heart. It doesn't need to be always the case to prove this existence, but in this scenario, it is so.

Need me not to emphasize on the usual after-effect of an end any further. But Love, can't it get any better or any simpler? In my PLU family, three members in Love, two members falling in Love, remaining stays out of Love. Me? I of course contributes to the stay out of Love portion (if not, I think involvement takes away fairness in judgment) Although so, I admit I shall not show any prejudice to the act of Love.

To be in Love, I am more of curious than anything else, to know what actually makes those in Love stays in Love. Maintain usually turns out to be more exhaustive than creating something, or even getting something started. People usually is believe to influence another, and in the case of a relationship, the most active influence act is no other than the involved couple. Things turned sweet or sour is all up to them to cook something up.

For those that's falling in Love, I am more concerned on the other hand. Maybe is because I am a "fundamentalist" and always believe in the future depends on everything about the initial stage. Today is more important than tomorrow. So, the take a flight, it takes a lot of convincing factors to make it seems and feels right, and if possible, strong points to affirm it. But, how come things don't seems to be so simple nowadays? At this moment, I feels kind of "lucky" that I decides to stay out of Love for now.
