Busy week ahead...

Busy week ahead...

Looking ahead, my next weekend will practically be tightly scheduled. Let's see: Friday- school, CCA followed by GECO prac till 10pm (reach home 11 plus). Saturday- report to school at 8am for CIP, after which is my official Singapoore citizenship ceremony in the afternoon, followed by Youth Fellowship in Church at night.
Sunday- church in the morning, followed by a seminar in church till 5pm, finally ending off with Aikido training at night.
I can only hope that I won't have a lot of homework then.

Well, besides our busy schedule, I believe that one can always find time to do the things he/she wants to do. Make 1 hour in you weekend to just relax and do something that you feel like doing. Restricting yourself to having no time for yourself at all will not do any good for your stressed up soul. Haha, anyways, when there's a will, there's a way!

As for my next weekend, I pray to God that I'll be able to get things done.



My favourtite anime: Naruto

Naruto, my favourite anime...


The are many things we can all learn from Naruto. First is his sheer will and overwhelming determination to accomplish the goals that he'd set his mind on. He strongly believes in his own worth and always stick to his personal values. Since he has no parents, the most important thing that he treasures most are his friends, and he never fails to give his best for them and for everything he does. He has a never say die spirit and never back out of a promise. His strong positive spirit and goodwill can influence others to change their mind and he can easily make friends with strangers. The one thing that he is bad at is giving up!

I started watching Naruto mostly last year when I was in sec3. Watching Naruto never fails to heigthen my spirits and boost my morale whenever I'm feeling low.
It really is that influential!


My favourite character in Naruto would be Captain Yamato (Tenzo). It is mainly because I find myself being similar to him in character. He appears grim and serious when working but can be quite laid back when off duty, being friendly and generous to others.
Besides that, I find his leadership style admirable. He never loses his cool and remains calm in tense situations, thus he is able to process his thoughts logically and knows how to react accordingly. This way, he has proven himself capable of handling stressful tasks.
Surely, not many of us can handle our daily tasks and hurdles as effectively as him. We often become anxious and panic under stress, overwhelmed by our unstable emotions and therefore reacting on impulse. That's why we fail to do our best or make the best decisions in life.
I treat Yamato as a role model in my life, my leadership and how I do things. Undeniably, I find myself to be a much more effecient and effective person than I was in the past.




How I view shows that I watch

How I view shows that I watch...

As you may have already know, I like watching Naruto. I currently do not watch any other anime basically because I like Naruto too much to want to watch any other anime.

I felt that undeniably, Naruto has impacted my life. To me, it is more than any other show that I get to watch in my life. I feel that the anime itself is more than any other pointless ninja show that one might think it is. It actually depends on one's perspective (some find it meaningless). As for me, whether is it anime or movies, if it is good, I would be 'unconsciouly moved'. Something about the show will 'hit' me, and then I would realise that there is more to the show than meets the eye, and I will keep questioning myself: what is that made me feel that way when I watched the show. I would then be influenced to delve deeper into the show to discover its goodness.

Well, I know the above explanation may sound extremely 'chim'. To sum it up, basically, I don't just watch any show for the sake of watching them because it pleases me. I actually look deeper and find learning points. A good show, to me, is more than a show. I shall illustrate more on my next post.

Start of year 2008

Yo! It's been a fresh start in year 2008 and smooth-going for me so far. Yep, the workload has definitely increased but I still find it managable. Well, as the year slowly unfolds, brace yourself for more, as well as the unexpected. However, I will still find time to posts occasionally, to keep this blog up and going.
All the best for your studies!
