Battles.

"never engage in battle that you don't gain anything from"

this is one of the lessons that i was exposed to during this semester. it came from the lecturer who is keen to motivate us. battles, such as conflicts and arguments, has to be able to lead to an equal understanding within the relationship (family, friends or partners). it may not be the best way to gain an understanding, but it is nevertheless -- a way. useless battles only drains energy and time. time itself, is said to be the most precious asset one can have, because it never returns. and only you yourself own your own time.

as for battles that are useless. example -- during a conversation, a couple had a slight disagreement. the guy said "it was year 83 when we went to Hawaii", and the girl said "no, it was year 85". and for that, they argued and stopped talking to each other for the rest of the night. but does it matter? shouldn't the focus be on "the trip to Hawaii together", instead of "the year" they went? this argument leads to nothing. no matter who has remembered the year correctly, it makes no difference. it is a waste of time and energy. and it is acidic toward the relationship. slowly corroding it, destroying it.

the example makes me realized that, in many situations in life, we tend to be focus on the wrong thing. we are more focus on negative thinking. "see not what you have to achieve, but see how far had u come". instead of looking at what we had achieve, we look at things that are yet to be done. rushed schedule, tight deadlines .. and for that, we got discouraged. we got unmotivated. there are a lot of experience, from our life and the life of others around us, if not digested or translated into lessons, will never be understood. and similar mistake will keep on occurring n repeating itself.

"say not the words to impress, but say words with strength from within". the power of these lessons and experience, comes from a person living the lessons itself. be consistent between what you say you will do, and make sure that you do what you say you will do. (it rhymes !!)

Intense Stress.

had been stressed out for more than a week now. since preparing the logbook and test for 1 subject, and doing documents and prototype for the fyp (final year project). don't have to study so hard for the test in fact. because it was an open-book test. and we weren't informed until minutes before the test starts. the lecturer probably did that on purpose just to make us study. instead of letting us wait for success to descent upon us. n not savoring it thoroughly ..

i don't really mind doing the logbook for the subject. yup the entries are quite a lot, n yup it is tedious. but at least we can say whatever we want in it. whatever we feel. whatever that meant something to us. whatever that matters to us. there are barely any wrong answers to it. n whats more? its Fun (with a big "F") !!

but as for the fyp, there is no such leniency. he pushes us to the edge. no mercy. no compassion. to the point that we felt reluctant to attend the class. to the point that we are so so so de-motivated. could this be a good thing? i wonder ..

stress .. oh stress ..

もだめだ ..　いたい、 いたい、 とんでけー !!

kitty..

innocent fellows .. *hugz*

in relates to cats, here are some photographs taken by devil, with his SE W810i. cats that he saw at cafeteria. and i had it as my desktop wallpaper for the longest of time. it still is my wallpaper by the way. hehe. it took him quite a lot of shots, capturing the exact moment that the cat looked directly into the lens. 1 out of 20+ shots. but which in the end, turn out to be quite worthwhile. :)

yuki (ゆき、雪)..

taken some photographs of yuki (ゆき、雪) few days ago, with my Sony T3. caught him eating grass. i was told that animals have their own health care knowledge. i find it adorable. hehe. he was totally ignoring me during the whole grass-eating process. looking for the parts that he like, had the ground all to himself. and i followed him like a stalker. surrounding him. *evil laugh*

here are more pictures of him.
