Karma is a topic that has always remained in my 'grey area' - something that I'm skeptical about. I should be influenced by my mom for believing in it without doubts but I cannot help but question who is there to judge. I do believe there is some kind of higher power up there to explain the unexplainable. However, how do one identify and institutionalized which is the right one? I have been exposed to the teachings of Buddhism and Christianity at a young age and it does get me confuse at times. I supposed that explains the reason for me to be skeptical about religious issues. On the other hand, a higher tolerance level of different cultures. In fact, I kind of appreciate the diversity of it.

The reason for each individual for keeping to a certain faith varies that brings me to wonder the possibility of having a single faith, a uniformity. Lesser choices, no disagreements (on which faith is better) but definitely a less 'colourful' culture setting. But don't you agree that it is a great way to spread love around right? Alright, it's just another one of those thoughts from Mel. Excellent way to digress from OT assignment 1, which has been such a pain in the ass. I cannot believe I am doing a sociological module for a business course! Dreadful stuff.

P.S.: My counter meter has been jumping but Tagboard is still. Com'on people, are you sure you got nothing to comment? (At the very least you can give some comments on my brace-less teeth! tsktsk)

Are Singaporeans too afraid/ embarrassed to lend a helping hand to a stranger in need?

Well, the thought came across my mind after I slipped for the 2nd time today. Yes, 2 times. The embarrassment was transformed to more of an enquiry. The journey from P.S. to The Cathay was exceptionally wet due to the downpour and I was in my Billabong flip-flops. Did I mention that I was also carrying a 5kg haversack and 2kg Macbook? Yes, it was DREADFUL. Anyway, the route was still pretty crowded but no one offered to help me out. Alright, I do not mean to sound like some princess and definitely was not expecting anyone to offer me their help. But, the second fall did made me do some thinking.

Are we not suppose to have graciousness and consideration instilled in us? Oh, I have forgotten. We DO need the Singa Lion and Phua Chu Kang to remind us daily to do that (assuming that you are taking the MRT). The campaign may seem successful only because the reminder is staring at us! I cannot help but feel slightly embarrassed every time I stare back at them (PCK and Rosie). We actually need some ridiculous TV characters to educate us. WTH? Ok, on the second though the posters may be doing a reverse psychological effect on the commuters. No matter what it is, I am pretty sure I would certainly laugh my head off if I was a tourist.

I think I'm insane. Academic workload is piling up and I'm thinking of doing a sports cca in school. Alright, don't panic my friends. It's just a random thought.

However, I did finally signed up for the Standard Chartered Full Marathon after much contemplation. Com'on people! Time to get your butt moving and sweat it out! ;)

Blogger is getting cranky while I'm in the midst of 'reviving' my pathetic blog. The busy schedule during the holidays had been made me super worn out. Nonetheless, the experiences at Hugo Boss and KS Office were great. They definitely gave me a different perspective of the fashion industry. Which is why I'm contemplating whether to do my LM interview on one of the bosses/ managers.

It's so weird to have the last post talking about end of exams while the new semester had just started. 4th week of school and I'm feeling all choked up from:

1. OT Assignment 1 (Individual)

2. OT Assignment 2 (Individual)

3. LM Assignment 1 (Individual)

4. LM Assignment 2 (Group)

5. Investment Assignment (Group)

6. Investment Test

7. German B.1 Exam

Darn.
