I think titles are useless, content is the interest of your eyes

It has been quite a long while i guess since i last did something to this blog of mine. Before the thought of writing this post, i kept myself in my school of thoughts with no intentions of sharing but, it doesn't matter anymore i guess.
During this period of hiatus from the stressful environment i am normally accustomed to, i have gave thoughts on certain parts of the past.
Poly life - It has been a long journey but one filled with memories i can share with my loved ones in time to come. At the beginning of that journey, i never once did place focus on studying hard and doing well, lectures and tutorials were a bore to me, all i knew was golf on the weekends and that's it. Director's Honours List? Ha. I don't even know that existed until some of my peers won it. Studies never seem to be important in the initial stages of poly life and i just kept telling myself that since i chose this road as compared to JC, i have the right to do things at my own pace and take things easy. It took me time to realise that many of my peers are critical of their work and they are seriously working hard and gunning for academic awards. I knew if i didn't step up a gear, two gears or even three gears, i am just going to settle myself lower in the "food chain" of society. Therefore, i worked doubly hard and in particular, i made sure that every tutorial is done properly even if it meant staying up to 3 in the morning which i did several times before. Self-awareness reminded me that there were many expectations of that from people who cared about me, mentored me and had faith in me. At the end of the day, i did my best and i believe i have nothing to regret well except that during projects, i admit myself to be selfish on the sharing of certain information relating to project components which i really did intend to help but, often so, i am in a difficult position where i cannot afford to compromise the performance of my project group. I apologise to any of my friends who were wondering why i did not share some information with them. Honestly speaking, i will not turn down friends who ask me for help but i guess during the heat of the moment in projects, i tend to drift from my personality into a Type A mould and only think of competing and winning the race. This is perhaps one of the things without doubt i regret in poly life. Sorry to anyone of whom i have disappointed in my unknowing selfish act at that point in time.
Golf- It's not good at the moment, that i can assure anyone. I just lack that added drive i need to push myself to play good golf. After losing a coach, it has been a difficult task to get everything on track, training has been very irregular or perhaps "occasionally". Nowadays, i play on weekends with practically no aim, i just play golf and that is it. I just hope that an inspiration will come along in some form or another and wake me up, my golf is experiencing retardation at a decreasing rate (with help of occasional range practice). Since young, i always said i want to be a professional golfer someday but at this rate, i will only go further away from that professional dream. Well, i shall stay determined and push up on my training frequency to get something going, i never believe in giving up at such a young age. Youth is my capital and i am not going to waste it.
Haha.. and lastly, the thing about relationship is one that strikes me every day of my life. Relationship is not my forte and it so happens to be my "Achilles Heel" because i am probably shy-natured and rarely have the chance to open up. I find it hard to follow nature's course where i seem to be stalling on that course. When the right one is going to come? I have no idea and the more i am eager to know and find out, i only realise it will not get me to a fruitful outcome as i have previously experienced in the recent past. Many people always talk about not giving up the forest because of a tree but sometimes, i feel the forest is so huge that i am afraid of being lost in it thus, not willing to venture deeper. That's all for this post.
