Saturday, January 24, 2004 | [Depression]
Like the titles says.. Yes. I'm feeling so depressed and sad that I feel like throwing myself out of the window. Bah.
I'm not gonna wallow in misery. I'm not going to cast myself down and look for pity. I'm not going to dwell on my failures. Ironic, that my favourite cartoon character is Squidward. Maybe not so, cos I do.. wallow in misery and self-pity sometimes.
Sigh. When I think of every single time I've been depressed.. I usually spend weeks on end feeling depressed. It has always been that way, for some reason. I used to be very good at picking myself up and throwing myself back into the lion's den. But now... in recent years... no longer..
Yet, when I think of what usually happens after my depression, it usually turns out to be.. for the better. Somehow everytime I fall into those lengthy periods of 'down'time.. I usually sorta.. mature after that. Somehow, in some tiny little way.. yeah. A little bit more mature.
Thinking about it now.. I had just finished writing a commentary due to be published in the school's newsletter for Issue 2. The commentary was about healthy competition and the rewards that come with it. Now that I think about it, life is probably full of healthy competition.. in the form of little valleys.
Somehow, when I realise that life is going to be full of little valleys and peaks... the thought that the valleys will never cease to be in my path saddens me. When will I find peace? Sure, I may grow a little older, wiser, and in the end gain much from it... But when will I finally be at peace!? [04:32 p.m.] Wednesday, January 21, 2004 | [Information.. Overload?]
Yes.. It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and I've been reading this book. It's really making me think.
The book is entitled "the Sign and the Seal" by Graham Hancock. The author embarked on a quest which spanned 9 years, to find out the truth about the lost Ark of the Covenant. I have not gone past 1/4 of the book yet, and I'm already shattered by the findings in the book. The amount of effort and research here is astounding. I recommend all of you to read this book if you can, especially if you're Christian/Jewish/Muslim. For the church people, I can always lend it to you if you want. Erica? GK? Alvin?

While answering Amanda's question, let me introduce to you all the wonderful world of PhotoBucket.
Ever since VillagePhotos cut off external linking of images on their site, bloggers everywhere have been in a state of utter despair.
VillagePhotos never allowed direct linking for blogs anyway; their service was meant for those using Ebay or other auction sites.
However, here comes PhotoBucket! The one and only image hosting service which is meant for people everywhere to host their images, be it for auctions or online journals.
Hope you all had a great time. I'll update again later on I guess. [09:15 a.m.] Thursday, January 15, 2004 | [I lurve school. muaks muaks muaks.]
What? No going out in school uniform after school hours? So I've actually gotta go home and change first? Sure thing... I live right next door to the school anyway..
Anyway, for those who want to voice out their opinions, email me at my regular email or at pcss_catalyst @ yahoo.com . Please remember that I am in no way affliated to the school. [05:28 p.m.] Sunday, January 11, 2004 | [Few changes]
