I can't understand some people

seriously.. confidence is good.. however, delusion isn't.. i cannot seem to understand how some people can think that they're going through the worst things in life.. everyone has it bad.. such is life.. life sucks... that's all..

i'm still disturbed by the kind of thinking exhibited by one of my friends.. i really hope that she wakes up to the realities before it becomes too late for her.. she's an undergrad here and she thinks that it's damn tough to survive here.. all i can say is that it really isn't.. i'm not trying to show-off or be arrogant.. however, it really isn't.. i came from a different university, with a different style.. that's why i can see the difference..

i really hope that she does go to somewhere different and get more exposure.. 'katak bawah tempurung' and all that.. however, that seems highly unlikely.. and i think she'll just go into life thinking that "it was damn difficult at cambridge!!".. i just hope that none of my future employees think that way..

i'd like to sometimes complain that my life sucks.. however, i'm constantly reminded by the fact that i'm already in the top 1% of the population of the world.. my life doesn't suck as much as the other 99%.. so, i don't really have a right to complain.. and so, i don't really complain much.. however, it doesn't make me feel any better knowing this..

i made an interesting observation the other day... about the path of least resistance.. politeness contradicts the path of least resistance... like when two people need to go through a narrow path, the one with the clear path usually stops to give way to the person which has more resistance.. this doesn't make physical sense, but manners dictate such..

so, that's all for now.. the students are coming in to take over the DPO again... hai.. things are so sad here.. so sad..

I think what makes Cambridge tough is what your brain does to you. Um, I mean, it's all in your head. But I guess you could say that goes for nearly everything else.

cambridge isn't tough!! rarrr!! i screwed up the entire first year with stupid relationship issues and wasting my time with nonsensical activities and still managed a high 2.1. if you believe it isn't tough, then it won't be.
