I am so amazed by myself today as I only spent 30 minutes to school today. Oh and I saw a cute and sweet cat at the MRT walkway. Meow!!!

As I reached the interchange, the first queue for 179A is so short that nobody wants to join in. Plus the fact that transport for non aircon buses are cheaper. I cut the queue and boarded, as I went up the bus and I was surprised to see prof chan, he was standing behind me. And I was so hot by the bus and the hot weather that I kept perspiring in the bus, unable to stand with stability. Luckily I reached and Prof wendy hasn't started.

Today's lecture on abnormal and clinical psych. I was afraid initially as I thought I will be taught on some sensitive issues which may occur to anyone around me or even myself, as I went through depressed stages somehow before during adolescence. But Prof Wendy was good, that I didn't feel offended in some way or another. On the other hand, I started to feel that I should be more open minded to alot of things there outside the world. More accepting of issues and understanding, and not taking things just my own way. Offer help to people who needs care. Alot of problems out there, I believed, are caused by thinking too much. I feel that I am always bothered about thoughts in myself and problems which never goes away, I spend time rationalizing it, but to no avail sometimes, just waiting for time to let it disappear. I am always grateful that I could talk it out with a best friend or something. What is abnormal? Are you abnormal when you have problems? Well, everybody do have problems that I realised just now, even a perfect person have problems. Nobody is perfect too. We all have problems, just that how you go about dealing with the problems, positively or negatively. I would want to deal with it positively. As I believed, I always do... Lower down your expectations, you will find greater and better things in life. These are some of the things I thought after lecture today. Well, I always love to keep my mind blank and not thinking about anything, but I just can't help it sometimes... hahaha!

Am I ready to take up abnormal psychology? Sometimes I can be bothered about the things I have studied. What if this... what if that... Do I have this abnormality... do I have that abnormality... But the thing is, not regarding with this sensitivity issue. It is gonna be thought by this lecturer where she put focus on biology especially the brain. I feel that our human brains are too complex to study that it have to make some sense in my mind to understand and to actually memorize them. I have a hard time studying the brain for a small chapter in intro psych in biology. How can I possibly cope with so much things to memorize for abnormal psych? In the point of examination view, I think I won't take it. So I shall stick with social psych and developmental psych, which I believed, gonna be useful in my teaching career.

Project meetings, lunch, review lecture (so call "review" but again... did no review at all), tutorial, and today's tutorial was taught by prof chen xin. Caught some vector space ball today.

I went back with peiting, and guess what... Prof Chan set infront of me again on the way back. So fated today... HAHA!!!!

I have been so engrossed and puzzled about why certain proofs works this way, til I can't even get many simple integrations right!
