i never finish the book. i am still at Socrates-> Plato-> Aristotle, although it makes a more interesting reading than what i learnt in my secondary school history textbook. Funny how last time it was to memorise as much historical facts as possible, and everything was presented in a clean, factual way. The textbook didn't have the continuous, story-telling way that history should be presented. Reading the book now just made everything just fall into place nicely, and everything else makes sense.

Coming Monday, a new academic year will commence. My third year in NUS. A new year, a new sem and new responsibilities which will open up to new possibilities. i resolve to

1) stay focused!
2) think positively and
3) be more patient.

Let's watch with the eyes of a crab (as the chinese saying goes) and see how long i'll last.
