The best way to avoid regrets is to face problems

Monday, May 30, 2005

It has been a very long day.Monday that is.I've never looked forward for Monday.It's a stressful day.But I'm happy now .The way it is, after the worse have passed.. I actually enjoyed Monday.There's something I did special today.We studied in the library.It's the initiative!Usually we'll just study at home.Sleepy and tired now.I guess I'm supposed to be.It's late.Don't laugh.. whoever is nocturnal.. cause I'm not.I sleep early.haha.

China has increased its stakes in the textile row.They did that cause they didn't want to lose.. and also they didn't had to.US and EU have imposed quotas on China's textiles.Reason..?Cause they lose jobs.How is that linked to China.Well the low labour cost enables China to produce cheap textiles which therefore spreads throughout the world.Local US and EU manufacturers can't compete and therefore lose their jobs.To protect American's in the textile field,China's has been blamed for undervaluating its currency .US has already imposed quotas on China.In return,China scrapped export tariffs of textiles.This would make it cheaper for the chinese to export their goods.It's like a counter of some sort.

When all this is happening,there is much more by the sidelines waiting to emerge.Taiwan issue.Korea issue and many more.All one way or the other connected to China.I guess...White House have decided to curb the Rising Dragons increasing power.

Just a thought of mine.Going to sleep now.School is when time lags.Holidays is when time sprint.

It's Saturday already.Now.. it seems that I'm only updating at random times..not like before which was daily.Oh well.. restrictions to internet connections that is.Exams.. about 3 weeks from now?It's a big thing.Hrm.. I know some friends in Malaysia who have already finished their exams.Lucky!haha.

Well I don't know.I can't wait for next year to come.Then I hope to be able to move to a house.. not an on campus accomodation anymore.That'll be fun.Haven't ben doing much lately but I find time zooming by.Maybe too many things to worry about?

So it's end of the weekends again.Gosh.. that was fast.There isn't enough time to play!.I know it's not the time for that but what... it's my choice to have fun.I went to watch Revenge of the Sith on Friday.We smuggled food in the cinema.It wasn't allowed so in the end we looked fatter a bit cause we stuffed the snacks into our jackets.hahah.The movie...way cool.haha.Rise.. Lord Vader.Some people say love is the strongest power of all.From an analytical point of view ,it is something that makes a person give a sacrifice.The sacrifice may be good or bad but in the movie .. it's bad.I'm not saying all cases will turn out like that.They are many other deciding factors as well.'He' is easily influenced.

On that day too,Melvin found something , but Beverly,Jacqueline and I kept looking.We can't see any penguins!.LOL.He actually wanted to say dolphins but he said it wrongly.After that he got laughed at.

Now I have two activities on Wednesday.One is chess club and badminton.Unfortunately,I can only choose one.Luckily I have an alternative to play chess at another time.That made my day.Today I played from 3pm until 8pm.I nearly died.haha.It's tiring.

In class , I watched several powerpoint presentations and they were so good.mm I wonder how I'm going to present mine since mine is just simple.I delayed and ,I have to do it on Friday.Should have just went and get over with it.Anyway no regrets.No difference anyway.

I'm super tired today.Can't even move properly... plus I ran in the rain again.Now I have the fear of getting sick.And... doctors advise and medicine costs a bomb.

Twisted Knives

Twisted knives filter my life,
When I'm wounded ,
They make it deeper ,
Making life more like reality.

Trying to deny the pain ,
My physical expressions ,
Spoil it all ,
For I couldn't hide my tears.

Betrayed and deceived ,
I have no one to turn to ,
Except to the figure in the mirror ,
I trust no one else.
____________________________________________________________________

hehe what do you think of this.My expression of betrayal.Well,it just came to mind that if a person is betrayed, they'll lose confidence in everything..especially if betrayed by a person that has a strong bond with you.
____________________________________________________________________

I'm going to sit for my physics test tomorow!1 hour at the most.I don't know whether that's enough time or not.haiz hope for the best!Also.. I haven't start my powerpoint presentation which is to be due this Wednesday.So much work!Yet so little effort put into them.I guess I'm getting lazy.Sigh..time to get serious...cause marks is important.

13th...Friday... sounds superstitous.Oh well.

Today is the day I'll go and eat my fill.I'll sleep late...same as every other day but I'll be out before that.Thats different.haha.Thanks to good transport=).So fortunate.Honestly I'm starving now..hungry and all.. but I hope to eat well later.

~look into the future~
Can you see a big house
Can you see forever flowing cash
Can you see all the perfection in front of us
Can you see a happy life ahead

Future speaks.haha.dreaming ..........hope not.No one can tell.Just had tests the last two days and I could say it wasn't good.

I've finished using my prepaid internet connection!.I know it sounds funny.But yeah.No more credit.haha.So now I'm back to using the library's internet connection.It's faster.. but not so convenient as it does not allow me to surf the net as much.

These few days ,I,ve been bored.Lots of work coming up and test is next week..I mean the week after next.It gets dark pretty early now.I think at about 5 or 6pm it would be dark already.That means.. less activity!.Sooner or later .. as winter approaches,I'll hibernate.Sleep and eat.haha

Tomorow I'm going to UWA to play badminton.I believe the courts.. and equipment there are better than that of Canning College?I'm going there with Zhang Xiang,Melvin and Beverly.That might mean ..skip grocery again.I'll be starved.. soon enough.hahah

Ask me what I did on the weekends.I merely did nothing.All I did was play games.That's not meaningful at all.Besides that, I went to Pot Black with friends.It's a place where everyone plays pool/snooker.I go there to drink watch my friends play.Besides that I went there for bubble tea.It's nice.

It's starting to rain here.Winter's near.oh well looks like everythings going to change.I will see dark clouds collecting themselves right in front of my eye .. like in most movies.!School tomorow.Hope this week the badminton courts and table tennis is open.Looking forward to more fun.

Things might not be what it seems to be.
That goes for everything.
