Is there a reason to procrastination?
I've been putting off the submission for my honours programme, getting the forms for my PR application, applying for IETLS, and much recently applying for a scholarship. I guess it's not so much of laziness. I've never seen myself as a lazy person in general, I mean everyone has their lazy moments in life. I think it's been because I've been reluctant to move on. Doing all these things made things seem so... fast?grown up? I'm not sure.
But last night, as I browsed through the application for honours, I realised that the longer I procrastinated for whatever reason, the more difficult it would become in the future. I would have missed the dateline for the scholarship, I would have no time to finish my PR application, IETLS will be fully booked, and I may not get to do honours just because I was late. So I decided not to be so foolish and think about how hard life will become or by how much life will change, but to take the steps necessary now so that life will not be more hard. Does that make any sense?
I wish I could be a kid again. Parents would make the decisions, teachers would motivate me to study, tutors would help me where I can't help myself, and all of them will tell me what to do next, where to go, how to do things, what I need help in, and what I'm good at. All I need to do is be there.

The sun shining and the birds chirping (well not exactly), he woke up excited about the day ahead. With gusto he got ready, and it wasn't long before he was in the kitchen whipping up a hotcake mix to start the beautiful day. Plated and ready to leave, he threw on his white shirt (hardly worn) and his blazer, and headed to her apartment.
She awoke to princess by her side. "How are you this morning she asked?"
"Fine thank you. Are you excited today?"
"Of course I am! He promised me hotcakes when I woke up. Oh no! It's 1030am! Maybe I woke up too early. Princess let's go to sleep awhile longer. I think he needs more time to cook hotcakes."
She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
*Knock Knock*
Hotcakes!! She thought. And she jumped out of bed and got ready (of course things didn't happen quite that fast. It was a good hour or so before they left the house).
They had lunch at koko, which was very very filling. And that was followed by desert at Lindt Cafe, which was very very chocolaty. Now with stomachs full and most of the day gone. He and she walked around town to buy groceries for a experimental dinner. I guess you can say that without much thinking they had both spent the day eating and eating. But I guess they didn't mind since it's a special day. So he and she came home to make homemade chee cheong fan and char siew bao.
A wonderful end to a wonderful day,
With Kate and Leopold dancing away.
And back on the couch, sitting comfortably at the rear,
Prince and Princess prepare to be future ring bearers.
Finally in the kitchen, chopping and molding and steaming,
Rachelle and Daniel, now 2 years and going.

I know I haven't blogged in awhile. I've been procrastinating. So here are thoughts in my head before they are gone.
Which is more important: more love or right love. Movies like to portray that the most loving person is the one who loves you the most (duh!), suggesting that more love is the way to go. But it is possible to love too much isn't it? Hence love blinds people. But the argument can also go that the one who loves you the most (i.e. the most loving person) should be the one who loves you right. But it isn't easy to see that kind of love is it? How do you tell someone you love that what they like to do (i.e. staying to party instead of doing an assg due in 3 days) isn't "right"?
I conclude that there is no easy way to have that kind of conversation, much like there isn't a right time to tell your significant other that it's time to part ways. Suffice to say that no matter where love eventually ends up, whether the right kind or too much, it always starts off the same.
Makes any sense?
On a more dull topic. I've been bumming around school for 3 weeks always feeling like I'm learning, but I'm not learning. Like I'm out of touch. I blame the winter break for making me slow in all my assignments. I feel like the answer is right there, but it takes so much just to churn it out. And its already week 4!!! Thus the cycle begins.
