[e]Z Living the dream I still remember when I was young (as young as primary 3) when I did my first practical science test, where i got the only full marks in the whole cohort. Everyone from that day on, knew me as the science whiz.
This continued to secondary school, and slowly as reality bites, you got to work and you got to survive, things have to be sacrificed. My secondary 3 result was the worst, in fact if I'm not wrong, I was second last in the class. I told myself this was a definite no no and by the the preliminary before the 'O's I was the 2nd in class.
Now, why all the braggy talk about school? It's not that was in RI or something. It's more to me like the passion of learning, the spirit of fighting and to achieve.
When I aimed for tertiary education, I wasn't the rich kid who could go NAFHA and presue a arts degree or anything. I was only someone who had the money to go for polytechnic. I went for the open houses to see for myself, what was available for me and what suit me most. Initally my first choice was interior design, but due to the fact that you have to present your own design first (which was rather cock, as you're suppose to go there and learn in the first place.), i decided to go for something safe and something that can be fall backed on. MECHATRONICs.
I aim to be a student with good grades, but can I say, my discipline wasn't that well, I skipped classes, slept in class due to tiredness from work. Hence, I failed a module only to regret. It was only then I choose who I am to be with a scholarship to allow me to study full time.
I looked back at myself sometime ago and I saw how 'safe' a route i was covering. I will not be straving, I won't be a bankrupt. However, what are the achievements and dreams that I want for myself? That's where I decided to go and learn something that I wanted to learn. It might not be in the most prestiges school, it might not be of any use in my career, it might just take up all my money and free time that I have in the coming time. This time I know that I am sure.
I'm taking up a Bachelor in Science in Psychology in Informatics now. I already enrolled and I am waiting for my classes to start. I'm ready to face the challenge to do what I want to do. People ask me what am I going to do with this cert? It might not even be recognized, why waste all the effort to go and study, and you don't get a pay increase.
I just know, IT's FOR MYSELF - a selfish and stubborn statement.

IT'S THE NBA PLAYOFFS!WestGolden State(8) leads 2-1 Dallas Mavericks(1)
Utah Jazz(4) Tie it 2-2 Houston Rockets(5)
San Antonio Spurs(3) take it 2-1 Denver Nuggets(6)
Phoniex Sun(2) takes it 3-1 LA Lakers(7)
Golden State, who could have not been in the playoff, who has New Orleans to thank for shooting out the LA Clippers, are really what their team suggests, WARRIORS. They are LEADING against the top seed in the western conference and the leaders of the season. Are they going to upset the Dallas Mavs and advance? Let's see if Avery Johnson has any clues.
The Suns are going to outshine the Lakers in another game and they deserve it! Look at how the 2 time(3 soon) MVP, Steve Nash play and you know why. He has such a strong supporting cast, Marion, Amare, this season's 6th man Leandro Barbosa. 15 Assist in a half today, that won't be any good if your teammates can't finish can it?
In the East
Detriot Pistons(1) sweeps 4-0 the Orlando Magic(8)
Miami Heat (4) swept 0-4 by the Chicago Bulls (5)
New Jersey (7) Nets leads 3-1 on the Toronto Raptors(3)
Cleveland(2) 3-0 on the Washington Wizards(7).
Miami, my favourite team, with the mighty combi of D-wade, Shaq and my hero, J-Will, didn't advance as defending champions. It's obvious they have struggled, they fought but they lost.
I have to give it in to Chicago, which in years have been drafting very well. They bring in young guns like Luol Deng, Kirk Hinrich and Ben Gordan. This season they brought in a powerhouse, Ben Wallace and they proved to be what they want to be after Jordan left. Champions. Although they might not be contenders now, but no not be surprised if you see them fighting up there for a chance.
Cum ON ! "IT'S THE PLAYOFFS!"
