Clipper round the world

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:25:20 GMT

I've been getting weekly updates on the race and what not through my email...
And each time I read it, I feel so inspired and so... inclined? to want to be a part of it!
As tough and challenging and probably torturing even as it may be.

But... I really want to experience it!
If only it didn't cost so much...

So they say that money doesn't make the world go round...
But damn!
Why does everything in this world cost money???

No pain, no gain!

Pain is about a feeling to let you know you're alive.

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

I wonder when I lost you.

Come out of your hiding place so I can find you again.

***

Its just a mind fuck thing.

What would you do? ...

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 01:54:29 GMT

... If you could go back to Yesterday... ...

... ...

Everything happens for a reason
Live life with no regrets.

Right?

But if only we could go back to Yesterday... ...
And stay there.

life reflections

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 16:24:50 GMT

you know that life is depressing when at 2am on a fri night you are sitting by your pool,
talking about sex with your younger godbrother.
and then being reprimanded for not having a boyfriend in the longest time,
and he tells you to dress sexier to be more attractive!
and then he goes on to scold you for not knowing how to hang loose and play the fool,
and that having many activities does not necessarily mean i'm having fun.
what's worse, there is some truth in his cocked up words.
you know that life is really depressing when you feel like you're doing everything just for the sake of it without really enjoying anymore.

Inspiration?

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 18:04:28 GMT

Confidence Wang, confidence.

If you say or think you can't do it, you've already lost.

Believe in yourself. Trust!

When you stop having fun, you stop learning.

Enjoy the ride!

Just take it as another normal practice session.

Believe. Trust. Confidence. You can do this Wang!

My exams are finally over!!!

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 16:08:32 GMT

I'm finally done!

Its been a real roller-coaster hell of exam stresses and pressures.
Of depression and constantly trying to uplift myself.

I'm glad its over, but I feel really disappointed and sad cos I know I'm not going to do well.
Its not even a guess. Its a certainty.
I'm quite certain I will still make it and graduate... but with really bad honours or none at all.
Come September when my results are released, I'm going to be a nervous wreck all over again.

Its a new beginning now I guess.
I need to find my direction and purpose in life.
I need to find my sparks of optimism and positivity and gain confidence again.
Know what my goals are and work towards achieving them.

I'm so lost!!!

As Shinder my classmate always says: "Life and its challenges..."

4 down... 2 more to go!

Fri, 30 May 2008 11:14:53 GMT

I am so extremely tired of all of this exams...
The stress is killing me...
I don't think I've ever felt this low before.

Papers haven't been good...

The 3 I studied hardest for are over, and they went quite badly.
Today I had a really easy paper.
But I didn't prepare well for it. Urgh.

I went from feeling so stressed beyond control and breaking down to wanting to just give up.

I'm so tired from constantly trying to inject optimism and positivity, but I keep trying anyway.

Its just 2 more papers... 5 more days... Wed 4.30 pm it will be all over.

And then I will have to wait dreadfully for my results in September.

But well, one thing at a time.

Have faith. Dreams come true. Miracles happen.

Game over.

Fri, 23 May 2008 10:54:22 GMT

Shit.

Had my first paper today.
Game theory.
Was probably my easiest subject.
Was banking on an A.
Was one of the few that I studied hard for and practised quite a number of past year papers.

I went into the hall feeling rather confident actually.
But 15 minutes into the paper I was so fucked and my morale just kept going down from there.
It was soooo hard!
And poor time management, I didn't finish my paper.

There goes my A.
I'm not even confident of passing!

Only consolation is that everyone found it bad.
2 of my classmates came out crying.
Which made me want to cry too.

But still!!!

Urgh.

One down. Five more to go.

I'm losing it man.

So I kept my books for the night around 4.30 AM.
Crawled into bed. Tossed and turned for about 10 minutes.
Stomach was growling just a little.
Been craving for McGriddles ever since I saw the advertisement a few days ago.
Decided what the heck.
Got out of bed and drove down to Bukit Merah to buy myself a McGriddles meal!

Ate it while watching Jason Castro and Michael Johns interviews and videos.
Such pleasures.
I'm extremely satisfied right now.

Its my 2nd time eating McGriddles, and I still think its good despite all the bad reviews!
Jason Castro is too cute, and Michael Johns is hot!
And I really do love their singing!
I don't think I've ever been such a crazy fan of American Idol before.

I'm going to sleep extremely contented right now and hopefully I'll dream of Jason Castro and Michael Johns.
And I'm going to wake up with a new found drive and love for studying!

I need to make miracles happen again.
I'm running out of time!!!

am i really a math major?!?!

Sun, 11 May 2008 15:58:19 GMT

seriously... i really cannot count man!!!

all along i thought i had 3 weeks left to my first paper.
and so as the days went by, i kept thinking, crap less than 3 weeks left.

i JUST realized, i miscounted.
i don't know where i got that extra week from.
but anyhow.

i have less than 2, TWO weeks left!!!
to be exact, 12 days.
and seeing how its almost midnight,
that's 11 days!!!

argh!!! i've been fooled into believing i had one more week to go!
now i'm officially stressed and freaked out!!!!!!!
i seriously am going to do nothing but study till 4 june.

i'm losing it!!!!

Sat, 10 May 2008 17:57:29 GMT

Barely 3 weeks to my first paper....

23 May: Game Theory!

After that its just gonna fly by real fast and I'll be done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, but I'm finding it just so hard to focus right now!

STAY ON TRACK WANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its my final leap. Give it my all!!!!!!!

Life is like a box of chocolates...

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 22:29:48 GMT

BREATHE WANG!

I think I've gone a little crazy, being overwhelmed by emotions triggered off by just the slightest things.

BREATHE WANG!

***

I'm damn happy Kristy Lee Cook is finally out!!!

I miss my Michael Johns! =(

Wed, 09 Apr 2008 07:37:33 GMT

It was just a little hard to repeat the phrase,

"Stand back, admire, and SMILE" in all seriousness.

I said something else less cheesy instead.

But overall, I think the job interview went quite well. I hope.

My interviewer was a SJI boy, married an IJ girl, and is Catholic too.

I think I earned some brownie points just for being an IJ girl and Catholic.

Haha yay for me!

Confidence comes from deep within.

Hold your head up high and know you did good.

Might not be easy when efforts seem to go unappreciated or unnoticed.

But remember, recognition isn't everything, isn't always necessary.

True honour does come silently.

Have faith. Believe in your true self.

Stay proud.

Be confident.

From time to time you just need to remind yourself.

You have talent.

Stand back, admire, and smile.

Yes, I am making realistic dreams!

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 20:07:33 GMT

I was just thinking...

I'm so excited about everything and having such big dreams and high expectations...

Wonder if its truly realistic...

Or if I'm just setting myself up for bigger disappointments.

...

Mom reminded me of the time when I did badly for 'A's...
Her way of nagging at me to study hard...

But it triggered off rather awful memories...

My world, then, really felt like it was crashing down on me like a can of sardines.
Could have handled my hurt and disappointments better, but instead I think I went kinda berserk.

I don't want to be in a situation like that again.

...

I believe everything happens for a reason though, and we should not live life with any regrets.

I do believe that I had opportunities and experiences at SIM that I might not have had if I were elsewhere, and I certainly enjoyed my education here. With all the extra-curriculum activities of course.

...

So to re-affirm my thoughts...

DREAM!!! REACH FOR THE STARS BEYOND THE UNIVERSE!

You'll never know what you can achieve.

...

Claire thinks I've a bipolar disorder.
That makes me a creative genius!

***

***

Sometimes you just want to say thank you for no reason at all...

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 19:56:08 GMT

There's always 2 sides of a coin...

On one hand, growing up with the same group of friends throughout your childhood and teenage years might have been sheltered......

On the other, having that very same group of friends move on with you to adulthood, know you inside out, your flairs and flaws, and still accept you and not judge you, loving you just the same.......

I'll gladly take the other side of the coin anytime.

I dare not count, but its definitely been a decade and more......
Across continents and oceans.......
My best friends of yesterday, today and tomorrow......
I love you girls!

(Do you know there is not a single picture with all 11 of us together!!! Or at least I can't find one. We need to do something about that!)

What Wang Tingwei Kristel means...

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 20:01:49 GMT

You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts.
You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it.
You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator!

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life.
You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone.
Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.
You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.
People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

time to focus on the important

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 07:11:40 GMT

pick-me-up talks while driving alone sure helps.

cast away all distractions and useless emotions.

i've been reminded once again what's important.

family and loved ones must always be a constant.

its time to focus on studying and wakeboarding yet again.

and somehow put god in the centre of it all.

nothing else should matter.

i'm reaching for the stars. way up above the clouds.

some dreams are achievable.

i'm setting my mind on it.

c'mon wang, let's go!!!

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 18:42:37 GMT

I've been trying and trying and trying for months and months and months!!!!!

EDGE BITCH! HOLD YOUR FREAKING EDGE! POP!

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 16:04:34 GMT
