You only feel the full force of emptiness weigh down on you, while you attempt feebly to find that magic sparkle to banish the emptiness from existence. The heaviness of the heart sinks one down to the depths of emotional darkness.

While struggling to rationalise my pessimism, unhappiness, and source of discomfort in recent days, I had tried to find answers from around me - the people whom i am close to, the things that i do, the things i didn't do, some things that i had done, and happenings around me.

What are you? And what do you ought to be? The former is largely a product of your own doing, literally speaking. You've shaped yourself into the person you are through your actions, or sometimes inaction, but ultimately you have been largely responsible for turning out the scoundrel that everyone hates, or the bona fide charmer everyone loves.

Do you ever experience the feeling of extreme congestion in your guts coupled with a leaden heart, a deadly combination which threatens to psychologically cripple you? It renders the flow of your blood torpid, sluggish. Leaving you shackled to the infinite weight of an emotional baggage composed of memories, retrospection, and doses of regret.

On a related note, I also find myself confronting inescapable truths. Truths are defined as matters of fact which authenticity and veracity are undeniable. Inescapable somehow implies that the truth applies to you, and there is little way you can expect to worm yourself out of it, or even attempt to deny its existence. The matter at hand, of course, is what we commonly Rong Renhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11411134295310436713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885379.post-1099780031223842542004-11-06T22:08:00.000Z2004-11-06T22:27:11.223ZWrestling with emotions
As some of you may know, living with housemates is never easy, especially when your housemate(s) happen(s) to be what we know in hokkien as "buay zi dong". For the past month, i have been assailed with problems relating to a pesky character of a housemate i had to endure, with which there is little avenue for recourse except for that occasional lamentation to my friends.

I think i have a personality crisis, or what people common know as schizophrenia. After a frustrating attempt on (half of) my finance assignment, I was typing some innocuous complaints to my friend on msn, when i noticed that...wait a min, i didn't type those comments.

What about the story before this story? When i was back in school. Caught myself reminiscing about school while i was flipping through my autographs. It occured to me that in the course of our lives, we do meet many many people, and often many of them leave an impression deep enough such that we only require a particular trigger to remember them.

Yes, i do conclude that there are many attention-seekers lyding in our midst. I am mean seriously childish ones. And one of the ways they do this is to assume a faux-iconoclastic slant, mixed with doses of pseudo-cynicism.. not the brand of anti-establishment epitomised by Bart Simpson, but something which reeks of pretension...Rong Renhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11411134295310436713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885379.post-1079132656733773962004-03-12T23:04:00.000Z2004-03-12T23:07:28.513ZDoes time slow to a crawl when you’re on the plane? Time assumes a type of constancy, just like dimensions do. You can’t stretch it, nor could you shrink it. Like the way we acknowledge our own 3-dimensional existence, time is the measure of movement of objects within a 3-dimensional space, where stillness springs into life.

When troubled or sad, and one feels the need to get his mind off things, just write. Impulsively, Hammer the keyboard. Let the words race across the screen.

Lately, i had a spirited debate with one of my ex-classmates about the merits of a compulsory medical insurance imposed on members of a society.

IR Class lately has become less of an enjoyment - very much. Somehow it has become a personality struggle, with some dominant characters pushing their own agendas which threatens to render the entire discussion irrelevant.

Secons yahoogroups still interests me somewhat. Recently one of the secons teachers posed a seemingly innocuous question as to whether profit-making by a firm can be an end in itself, with reference to a speech made by labour chief Mr Lim Boon Heng, that obviously it can't. That was when Mr Lim Boon Heng proposed the framework of "ethical capitalism", where firms Rong Renhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11411134295310436713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885379.post-1074783603260575482004-01-22T15:00:00.000Z2004-01-22T15:09:16.390ZPersonally, it is really hard to begin a blog. I am not trying to offer people a glimpse of my personal life..that is so exhibitionist..but i do suppose that at some pts, i have something i think perhaps would be worth sharing with people who may actually appreciate it.
