Peace.
Does it just mean the absence of war?
Is it merely the end of a conflict?
Peace.
Is it as the presence of justice?
Or arriving only in the presence of injustice?
Peace.
A freedom from civil disorder?
Perhaps just non-violence?
Peace.
Is it peace amongst people?
Or is it just your own inner peace?
Peace.
P-E-A-C-E.
A simple five letter word.
But yet so complex in its simplicity.
So what is peace?
It is waiting to be defined.

D-A-N-C-E
Daring
Adventurous
No Boundaries
Creative
Expression
That's how I perceive the movement of my body, though I never do it well enough.
What about you?

The Bus Stop Analogy
Sitting at the bus stop,
You see people from all walks of life.
Sitting at the bus stop,
You see a husband and his wife.
Sitting at the bus stop,
You see a baby on a pram.
Sitting at the bus stop,
You see the teenagers that don't give a damn.
Sitting at the bus stop,
You see the businessman checking his phone.
Sitting at the bus stop,
You see a little girl licking her ice-cream cone.
Sitting at the bus stop,
You see the foreign workers gather in mass.
Sitting at the bus stop,
You see an old man discreetly scratching his ass.
Sitting at the bus stop,
You see a rich lady fanning herself from the heat.
Sitting at the bus stop,
You see the muggers that always fancy a read.
Sitting at the bus stop,
Wondering when that bus would come.
Sitting at the bus stop,
Till the day is done.

Star and Go
Today I realized that the way we do work/manner we behave during exams reflects greatly on what type of person we are.
There are people who will not give up on a certain question no matter what, and will only be satisfied after they've accomplished it.
Then there are people like me.
When I meet a question which I face some difficulty with, I just mark it with a star and move on.
Only when I'm sort of done with everything else that I come back and look at it again.
There are merits and demerits to both types of personalities.
The first might be considered to be really faithful and the other might be considered to be really fickle-minded.
However, in other cases, the first might linger on for too long, whereas the other will know how to move on.
Therefore, there isn't any "perfect" personality out there.
Just remember, though you idolize someone or aim to be someone, being yourself is still the best.
Recognize your flaws, and build on your strengths, cause YOUR personality is the BEST personality.
That's what makes us us.

Vectors
Today I have decided to touch on a very mathematical topic, vectors.
You would probably never hate such simple numbers in your life.
But the pertaining issue here is the quote that often comes along with vectors.
"The moment you get it, you get it."
There are things in life we will probably never get.
Like how a female thinks for example, is something guys can never get or predict perfectly.
The human mind is so vast, it is impossible to read a person so perfectly down to a T.
In contrast, for a mathematical concept like vectors, where there are rights and wrongs, it is possible to conclude and give a perfect answer to be deemed correct.
However, who is to determine what is right and wrong?
Once again, that's a paradox we'll never solve.

The Hess Cycle
The Hess Cycle.
It can be considered a Chemistry student's nightmare, but actually has some really hidden principles.
Look at it from this perspective - no matter what the reagents or number of steps involved, ultimately, the end product is the same.
And somehow, that goes for alot of things in life.
See, we don't have to care about the process, it's just what comes up at the end that matters.
Alot of times, we have people telling us, "Enjoy the process", "Learn from the experience".
But in my opinion all of this is bullshit, because you can put in 100 hours for an event and as long as the event on the day fails, all that effort is just simply put in for nothing.
However, if you come up with something more simplistic and put in say, 20 hours, but if the event turns out to be a success, you are the ultimate winner.
During the exams, you can mug like hell to get your A, or you can simply cheat and get your A. Eventually, both still ends up at an A.
So why go the long path of the Hess Cycle when you can just complete the reaction with one simple and effortless step?
I could go on and on about this, so I shall cut the long story short.
It just makes one ponder, is it worthwhile to do so much in life?
