No News Is Bad News

I must apologise for the apparent lack of updates here. Well, I must admit that my passion to write did falter slightly but listening to some of my lecturers have really fired me up all over again I guess...

You know what's the difference between having a fixed 4 or 5-course set meal and a buffet that has a spread of international cuisine? It's about decisions...

You see, when you order a set meal, you know what you are getting, and you are given exactly what you asked for (more or less). You don't have to make any decisions like 'what should i eat first?' or 'how should i plan out my intake of carbohydrates?'. You get what you ordered, and you end up satisfied.

I think most of us Singaporeans would go for the buffet as it is definitely (or perhaps, usually) better value for money. But then one will be faced with questions like, 'what should i eat first?', 'would i still have space for this if i eat that first?' or 'how many rounds would i need to run if i take an extra plate of those?' You make your own decisions, choose your own course. You may end up satisfied, but you may also end up thinking, 'i should have taken more of that instead of this'.

decisions...

you see, that seems to be the no. 1 for priority on the list of problems that most freshies face... upon entering uni, you make YOUR own decisions... unlike in primary or secondary schools, or JCs. No longer are notes printed for you, no longer is attendance taken, no longer is homework to be handed up for marking and no longer is the form teacher urging you to pull your socks up...

well... the start of uni hasn't been the best of times for me, but I've certainly seen how God has brought me through all this while... of just only two weeks though...

on the next post, i shall share more on my experiences with God during my first days in NTU...
