the fresh start day didn't really begin too smoothly cos it saw me borrowing pencil from neighbor during jap class (cos forgot all stationery) and later rummaging through backpack for wallet when attempting to buy a notebook in the bookstore (to realize that i forgot my wallet, too) so had to take bus all the way home to get wallet.... but still bent on fresh start plan.... and one concrete attempt to do this was forcing myself to go for an aerobics class at the gym! but to my surprise, i found that i really quite like STEP (i went for step basics, since i've never done STEP before)... i mean i couldnt' really follow the rest of the class at times... but it's pretty fun. and not super crowded, unlike the more popular classes (such as kickboxing...) and i certainly prefer step over kickboxing... so... i shall make that a regular 'item' on schedule... (and hopefully dun get lazier as semester goes by) as of NOW, at least i feel like i'm one step closer to making my life more chong1 shi2..... =)

i think i spend so much time mulling over the silliest things when i can be a lot more productive and happy appreciating the last semester i have here... esp given it's the last 'official' chance for some time to come to really learn all there is to learn... the lectures i've sat in thus far are both good and very informative... and i really like them... but haven't been paying full attention. nor have i been conscientiously doing the readings i ought to have been doing... and instead of feeling so upset over the way some things are, i just need to "wake up"...

and some days ago i was also mulling over how i can sometimes be rather isolated, without realizing that it was also at times (actually frequently) self-imposed... and then what position am i really in to complain? and i realized today that i have yet to really learn what it means to be a really good and decent person. hopefully tmr will mark a fresh start.

it's rather irritating how i can't help myself from getting really upset over little things sometimes. and to have to lift your own spirits by ignoring them AMAP or by distracting yourself with other things.
also quite aware how i will have a sore lack of good company this sem and one task at hand is inevitably to find some things (other than sch work) to occupy myself else i shall be quite a miserable creature. i wonder why i'm not even thinking about people.

why do ppl cry when they are sad. it certainly doesn't make one less sad.

Last of all..... the Prague metro stations

after declaring my affinity for Prague's metro stations cannot leave everyone wondering what they really looked like right? =P last hour in Prague was actually spent hopping on and off the train to take pictures of nice stations....and diff lines had diff styles too. actually didn't have that much time either, and there were some disappointments too... but here are a handful i think are nice. =)

Namesti Miru and Namesti Republiky are my favorite ones...
