Slayer, Claymore, Aflame Inferno, Full Metal Alchemist; and as I think back, other mangas I have read, liked, and admired are nevertheless, under the same catagory. These stories start small, give first a snap shot of the lives of protagonists, and then, enlarge the camera angle. A larger picture shows us the conflict between human being is magnified such that nations are at war. Amid the turmoil, there is no middle person, no justice; winner writes history, survival of the fittest.

Human's thirst for power, the desire of money, prestige, will, love, hope. Anything can be the motivation, if you let it. I now agree what he says, 'We are always at war; life is never fair; and that, there is no answer to the question, does the ends justify the means.' In fact, that is a wrong question.

I have, interestingly enough, moved four times this year starting from January. Over this period, I have realized how hectic and/or agile moving can be. Therefore, I forged the habit of throwing everything away, once it's of no more use.

I have not been having internet at home for about over three months. At the moment, it's holiday. I have to come to uni for emails. In a way, technological isolation is, to some degree, a privilege. From which, I realized how much free time I am entitled each day.
Mom and sis are flying back home tomorrow. Mom will be back to NZ in two months time, while sis will stay with dad for the next three years, except holidays. This change should be beneficial for all. Of course, it can not be denied that, everything is a two way sword. It would be quieter and lonelier at home; however, we should be able to cope.

Second semester went way better than my first. Primarily because I did my exam revision in a group, as opposed to by myself. After however many years of studying, I finally see the treasure which group revision can bring. Despite the fact that I had same mark for both structural and environmental. Structural engineering is my definite choice for next year. A lot of the time, as long as a person is on the track, there would be a definite ending. However, not everyone, for example me, is content with the set path. I will see what I can do in this holiday. It should be fun, as long as I don't procrastinate.

I chose French and Economics for this summer school, to fulfill the requirement of Accelerated Pathway. With the promising potential of playing badminton everyday after school, I am looking forward to it.

As for the clubs, I quit Formula SAE and EWB, keeping only Management Consultant Club at the moment.

I am not working anywhere at the moment. Instead, I am taking the time to sort things out and do things which I have always wanted to do. Such as, watching movies. On a side note, watching video clips from a small computer screen without any break for more than ten hours in a poor ventilated and poor light room is not recommended for any normal human. As it might lead to potential neck pain and severe headache.

That's news from me so far. Now, we will have a brief commercial break.

As I was saying earlier, I have closed few doors behind me and started a new chapter. However, I was told that good writers are supposed to fully utilise whatever they have written. Things which may seem obscure now can be turned into good plots for later development. Good writers ensure the link between chapters and secure the flow of article. I was also told that, nothing educate people more than experiences, and that even drafts which go in the bin can teach the author something.

Each individual excel in certain aspect of life. People say, instead of trying to improve on weaknesses, it is easier and more effective to use strength to compensate weaknesses. Others say, the capacity of a wooden bucket depends on its shortest edge. I say, do both.

There are people out there, who know me better than I do; yet, they would not tell me what exactly to improve on. As they say, self-improvement is different from assigned-improvement. Others tell me, I am who I am; therefore there is no need to change. I have determined to make changes happen; the only remaining question is, "Dear Qinxin, to which direction are you turning?"

As one grows, one learns the word "priority". Other people say, when one is struggling with decision making, always start asking, "Who is more important, you or me?" Throughout the life stages of each individual, each stage of development is assigned specific tasks. Do not skip, rush through or delay in any of the stages; however, it is essential that one must make the most of every single opportunity available. These opportunities can be seen as "Hidden Gifts" from God, that of which will only reveal itself in time. By prioritizing and postponing the decision to some of the questions, allows one to focus on more important tasks, as well as alleviating unnecessary stresses.

The meaning of success was explored by many. One definition I heard of particular interst, was that "success is whatever one wants it to be and that it occurs when one feels one has accomplished most". In fact, people can be successful in degrees and in different areas. Upon modification, I define it to be that "Completion of each individual goals to the level of my satisfactory is success."
