WHEAT

Plato asked Socrates What love is.

Socrates said: I ask you to go across this rice field, pick up and bring back the biggest and best ear of wheat, but remember one thing, you cannot go back, and you just have one chance.

Then Plato did so, but he came back with nothing after a long time.

Socrates asked him why?

Plato answered: I once saw some very big and good wheat when i walked through the field, but i was always thinking that maybe there would some bigger and better ones, so i just passed by; but what i saw later is not better than before, so i had nothing at last.

Socrates said this is love.

So are we passing some of the best wheat in the field in hope of finding a much better ear of wheat ??

North against South

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
Albert Einstien

Wars do not only bring about destruction but it also promotes the rapid development of technologies. This phenomena is widely observed in the history of our race and the validity is undeniable but now comes the question if World War III occur will the technological advancements of our race be lifted to a higher playing field or it will cause a damage so severe that it will bring us back in time ?

雨中感慨

立冬已过小雪至，
庚寅只余数月圆。
粽子月饼意未犹，
汤圆年糕将临门。

匆匆而去十余月，
日日虚度无成事。
读书正事取中庸，
吃喝玩乐尽全功。

立春期望业与情，
立冬检讨失与得。
学业平平并无奇，
情场凄凄独伶仃。

a month

It's almost a month since I sat for my semester 2 finals. To date I only know that I have passed all my papers but flying colours or scraping through. It is also a month since the last post I have posted, it was a eventful yet boring month. Had a trip to crown jewel of the British Empire for the weekend during the 1st week back in pearl of the orient. I have also enjoyed several outings with my family during this 1 month spell but apart from that the month is down the drain with sitting marathon. I manage to sit myself through movies, drama, facebook and games.

关关雎鸠，在河之洲

西马有城谓锡都，
除却锡矿亦盛女。
有一娥眉岁十九，
翩若惊鸿似飞燕。
冰肌玉肤存绯红，

朱唇皓齿眸如星。
一颦一笑拨心弦，
魂牵梦萦朝暮思。
落花有意随流水，
神女无情恋落花。

祸兮福之所倚

约一时前，一宗车祸与吾差身而过。吾归途须经所收费站，当吾驶至，一丰田无端冲出。吾自当紧急刹车，且闻阵摩擦声后车盘，松。所幸吾终停车，免车祸。未知是天降横祸，或，鸿运当头？

Perseverence

Often I notice a unwanted trait of mine which pulverize the dream of salient. As I prepare myself for the upcoming exam I hope that I'm able to do away with the lack of perseverance which has lingered around for ages. I happen to chance upon a quote by a former British Prime Minister

"Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential. "
Winston Churchill

Hoping it would inspire me to posses a continuous effort in the academia and maintaining the vitality here I decided to make a post out of it.

Resurrection

I had celebrated 2 birthdays since the last time I wrote something. Therefore time has come for the vitality of the blog to return and hopefully it will sustain its vitality a little while longer this time around. Life has treated me fairly since with some enduring tests and some rewarding treats. Completed my pre-u in INTI Penang last year with a satisfying results I would say and hopefully maintain the quality in my future endeavors. After the Yuletide of 09, I took on the challenge of completing a pharmacy course which is still undergoing. After finishing semester 1 and with the EOS of semester 2 right around the corner I'm sure that I will prevail against the challenges that I took on.
