Another year has passed.
This year went by really, really fast. It really just sets you thinking about aging and how fast life would end.
2015 had its ups and downs. From the people I've met, to the decisions I've made, it was definitely the most colourful year of my life.
Like every start of the year, we all set goals and aspirations we want to achieve. Well, it's always the same old things we want to achieve: results, love or getting something we want. I mean there's nothing else we really can hope for. We always want to satisfy our human desires first followed by the expectations we expect or are expected of.
For me, in 2016, I do have a personal goal I want to achieve. It's a goal I've been working hard on for awhile. I either make it or break it. I really want it bad. Fucking bad.
Aside from that, like always, ACADEMIC RESULTS.
The health of those around me as well as myself to be great. That is something I want to achieve. I recently found out the importance of being healthy by learning the hard way. Negligence and arrogance kills.
Tangible things become less important and desired as the age adds up. It could be a sign of maturity or possibly just the harsh reality that you can't have everything you ask for in life.
Intangible things are what makes us human. It's going to sound really mushy if I talk about it but it essentially is the emotions, memories, love, beliefs, opinions etc.
(Abstract concepts and imaginary creatures and characters??!!)
Let this year be a good year.
Let it be an eye-opener.
Let it be memorable.
Let it surpass the past.

Demise
"There is
something
mystically
sad
and beautiful
about
how
I will
never
see you
again
(or have you)
but
meet you
again
and again
in poetry."
-Sanober Khan
School's starting on Monday.
How dreadful.
Facing (certain) people.
Someone recruit me into Quileute Tribe, please.

Health is not valued till sickness comes.
Health is vital to me.
Falling sick has TOO MANY setbacks.
Less training, less appetite, loss in size, loss in strength.
I can't afford to keep falling sick anymore.
Not in this period of time.
Selections have begun.

Fatigue makes cowards of us all
With the increased training intensity, the fatigue setting in is intense.
Gymming is a drag.
Waking up is a drag.
But nothing worth having comes easy.
I have to wake up my idea.
When I'm here slacking and resting, someone else is out there working harder than me and reaping the fruits of hard work.
I want my seat.
I don't want anyone to steal it from me.
Time to work harder.
He wakes up at 6, I'll wake up at 5.
He puts 2 plates, I put 3 plates.
Time to make it all worth it.

What power has law where only money rules
Recently, ISIS had caused panic around the globe with their acts and security has been tightened at all country immigrations.
This is just my Point of View:
"People are created to be loved and things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used."
This quote really holds a substantial amount of meaning to me.
The reason the world is the way it is now - The Greed of Money
The solution for it? - To be selfless and give in
The ISIS militants do not understand. What they are doing now isn't helping at all. Taking lives from innocent people would not accomplish any goals they have set. They have to understand that the reason for it all is the oil in their lands. The United States could solve the problem overnight if they wanted to but they had a reason not to.
"Once the seeds of greed had been sowed, greed would keep growing until it saps the last bit of nutrient from its soil."
"As long as there is profit in war, the world would not know peace. Use your words, not your fists."
When the last sap of oil is taken, maybe that's when the wars will stop and the U.S. will leave their lands. But will the innate hatred harboured within the hearts of the victims be contained? Or will it spark another flame?
A Chain Reaction.
It never ends.
Ever since the Genesis of Time.
No one is selfless enough to give up their own self-interests for the benefit of others.
What is the law when anything can be bought in this world.

Boy, what have i written.
Just some personal thoughts.

Human Nature
We human are not much different from beasts.
We are greedy, selfish, cruel - all for our own gain, all in our own interests.
We are all beasts - the smarter ones who thought we ruled all other species.
But what is it that seperates us from the beasts?
We are SENTIENT beings. We question. We show concern. We are kind.
And that's all i actually care about.
Being kind.
It's the one thing that really attracts me and reaches out to me.
It shows me that selflessness does exist, that we're willing to give up a part of us to give meaning to another.
Am i kind?
//
Interest. We all have our own interest at heart. Well for me it's basically to do well academically and and physically. I want a good and respectable GPA to enter university and do well in DragonBoat. And i believe everyone has their own interests.
But when one threatens the interest of another for the benefit of their own. That is despicable. It boils my blood.
A group of friends baking a cake is a very good example. All of them want to bake a cake together, the best and most delicious they'll ever make. They each contribute to its production - ingredients, providing a kitchen, utensils, cutlery etc. They ended up making one of the best cakes they've ever tasted. But one of them felt that the whole cake belonged to her as the others have not provided enough to the production of it. They should get a lesser share.
Now, I won't argue about shares for in all honestly - that one individual didn't exactly "provide a lot" .
Yes, you may have an attribute or talent which another may not. But,
"In critical moments even the very powerful have need of the weakest" .
But even so, if something is good why not share it? Is there a point in giving lesser to others? Do you delight in the sorrows of others? Eating more cake makes you fatter too. (What a bad joke, I tired).
People have to learn that the world is cruel and you can't stand alone.

As human beings, we all crave for affection. Affection comes in many forms - the love between lovers, attention from others, being idolised, having a group of friends (clique) to do shit with you, your parents who love you unconditionally and many more.
There comes a point in your life where you'll realise that you actually need someone. You need someone to go through the joys, the sorrows, the excitements, the fun, the food, basically someone to be there for you. Someone whom you can exhaust yourself in. Someone to work for. Someone to care for. And to receive that love from someone else, boy, that's probably the most fulfilling feeling to ever feel. The feeling of being wanted, the feeling of being loved.
I truly crave this feeling.
Damn it, I'm only 17 !

Know Thyself
Why did i create this?
I figured having a spot for me to write out my thoughts would be effective. After all, writing had always been the essence for everything in my life. The power of written words have opened windows and lifted boulders from my life countless times.
Might actually aspire becoming an author - i really, really love writing. It's like euphoria surging through your veins: the words, phrases, emotions and vivid images that drive your pen to paint a picture.
Like all students in Singapore, I'm suffering. I wouldn't say the education system here is bad. It's actually good. And because of that very reason, it is horrendously competitive. Too much good stuff kills. Too much competition kills. Your grades basically decide your future.
"The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite:" - Friar Lawrence (Romeo & Juliet, Act 2 Scene 6)
Yes, I really love philosophy. The idea of apprehending the wisdom, ideas and arguments of the ancients. Using my head to analyze and think. Am i weird? It's not easy to explain this innate emotion. Interest, yes that's what they call it. Ancestral wisdom had always piqued me more than any other modern formulas or knowledge. Perhaps i was a barbarian watching and mapping out the constellations in my past life.
I believe we all have 2 sides in our lives. The side we want to show the world and the side we only show to ourselves - The act of reflection.
The act of being judgemental - Comically Ironic. And i won't lie, I do it a a lot.
