I really miss that girl

Ah the days when I could talk to you for hours about nothing but crap
I miss our sleepovers full of stories
Which one of us ends up sleeping even before the story ends
I miss that no matter what I had to say you never judged
And I miss our shopping times! How we were so incredibly different in our taste
but loved that we could pair each other so well
I miss the way you motivated me in J1 when I panicked about promos
I miss hanging out with you
Miss you tons babe,
Hope you get home soon!!
<3 you!

You Can Be My Bad Boy, But Understand

Why in the world does EVERY girl fall for a bad boy at some point in her life?
Maybe I can't say every since I don't know the whole world but it really does feel that way
The one person whose completely opposite from the kind of person you wanna be with.
Probably one who swears, smokes, drinks, talks down about girls or something along those lines
The kind who sits around like a loner who gives that air of mystery
I think TV itself has proved it. I mean, I know its fiction but still its based highly on the fact that the writers probably get the idea from real life


I mean come on, even on Girlmore Girls(long ended good series though) Rory ends up with the good, old sweet-natured, well liked Dean who treats her incredibly well.

Then ruins it all by falling for Jess(below), the "bad boy" of Stars Hollow. No why? I don't get it.




I guess its the same with Glee as well. Good natured, sweet Finn in contrast to the bully, stud, Puck.






Every girl falls for that bad boy
Why that no one understands.
Maybe its the difference, the fresh perspective on life
Far from the one you're use to
But you don't take home the bad boy
You flirt or talk to him, just get to know him, know what makes him tick
You take home the good guy; the safe, reliant one who would take care of you in the worst of times.

Call It Education

Had the first day of my many many long days in NTU today
Was pretty cool I had to admit.
The free stuff?? JEEZ where do they get all the money from...
The acting chair and the provosts, they were hilarious and absolutely intelligent guys.
Man, i already respect them immensely before they teach me anything.
A couple of lessons and wise words i took from today
"The only stupid question is a question not asked." I really liked that line by Prof Bertil Andersson
One hilarious fella: "You can fail whatever subject you want but you must get a distinction in dating"

There was one speaker too. Honestly can't rmb his name:
"Do not think for a second that this is school. The best graduates are the noisiest, the ones who ask the most questions and the ones who bother to ask the extremely basic question. I teach Aerospace Engineering and I had a student once who came to class and once said: Prof, I know i chose this course but what in the world is Aerospace? It was a question that many cringed when he asked. I however, shook his hand and said he may have juz asked the best question"

I think I made the right choice. Hearing the words of seniors and the reactions of others when they hear my major may have made me doubt my choice at one point or another but there's one thing i'm certain about: that nothing intrigues more than this subject. I love how the myths of psychology the public believes are trashed and torn apart here. Psychology isn't about reading minds, making people listen or pure conjecture. It is the contempory study of one's pure being. Feel, understand, make sense of, QUESTION every nature, every little bit of detail: the differences in the way we react to situations. It is the biological bases of behaviour, sensation and perception, memory, thought and language, social behaviour, intelligence, motivation, learning, personality and development that all comprises the study of psychology. I knew I liked it, I just never knew I was beginning to get extremely enlightened. And yes, I've been warned about the nature of the study. That there will days where memorising the entire text would be the only way to pass. Or that no matter what you write your essay fails. Or that no matter how much you break your head, you would never be able to come up with a perfectly good answer to a question that the Prof couldn't contradict. 

But there wasn't a time where I opened a textbook even before school started and tried to read through a whole chapter.

Ah the things I can learn from this course and the people who teach it. Sky's the limit. I've never been so interested to learn so much; guess it definitely makes the difference when you're doing what you love. I finally made up my mind on my electives: ACTING AND REPRESENTATION IN THEATRE AND FILM & INTRODUCTION TO MAGICAL REALISM.
My 4 day week no longer exists but i'm ok with that. I would have a 5 day week to study what i get to do. Pretty excited, classes start next week.
