Cameras are simple tools designed to capture images.
Images that tell us more about ourselves than we realize.
They remind us of the long journey we’ve taken.
The loved ones who traveled alongside of us.
Those we lost along the way.
And those waiting for us on the road ahead.
-desperate housewives
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. - Helen Keller -

You know it's been said that we just don't recognize the significant moments of our lives while they're happening. We grow complacent with ideas or things or people and we take them for granted and it's usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you've realized how wrong you've been that you realized how much you need it, how much you love it.

"What though the radiance that was once so bright, be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind."
-criminal minds-
when it all comes too late
why do we always wait till we lose something before we realize how important it was to us
why do we always take things for granted
and only make a desperate attempt to retrieve what we lost
that we always had by our side and yet chose to keep at a distance
why do we always leave room for regrets
why do we let ourselves come face to face with regrets
this time it may really be the end
and i just hope you find the strength to continue
and perhaps this time you really will grow
and finally learn
to only appreciate the one that you love
the one you had by your side but chose to distance yourself from
sometimes you cannot retrieve what you've lost
and somethings when lost will never come back to you
perhaps this time you really need to let go
why do you only tighten your grip on something when it is gonna slip out of your hands
there might just be a chance you would never make it in time
to grasp whatever you had
give each other time and space
holding on so tightly at this point in time would only hurt you more
leave wach other some time and space for your wounds to heal and the scars to fade

i think carousels are megapretty it brings you down the passage of time back to childhood when nothing ceased to matter no matter how old you are when you get on a carousel you spin into a childlike state all your worries evaporate as the horses rise and fall in rhythmic sequence the senses are aroused the colourful structures the fairy-tale-ish horses the carnival-ish music the giggles and squeals of excitement no worries no fears no tears only joy excitement happiness that is ... until the carousel stops spinning the horses stop bobbing and the music stops playing and you are thrust back into cold harsh reality that life will never be that way WELCOME TO THE WORLD

first day of hellweek
2 papers down
3 more to go
anyways paulin was sdamn funny
we had combined venue with sc2101
which was taken by jennifer jarmon this sem
and paulin was being sucha meanie
ps: oh 2101 not openbook ? look at my 3209children ! they are all sooo happy cos its openbook
ps: (talking to the 3209people) oh you know children, 2101 has got 1compulsory essay, 20shortanswer and 1moreessay ! (turning to 2101people) see my 3209 only got 2essays, still got choice ! next sem take 3209 okay
shes uber cute la hahaha advertising her mod
stats was sucha nervewrecking experience
so linear regression did come out for the compulsory question
and i just followed the format on the handout
and sampling question
so when it came to a choice of question 2 or 3
i was quite confident i could do 2
but i felt i didnt have much to say
and i looked at 3
there was contingency table
and i just had to use gamma or kendall's tau-b
plus i could talk about multivariate analysis
so i decided to do 3
and so i started on the contingency tables
and i pinned down all the concordant and discordant pairs
and my values were damn weird
and when i read the question again
i realized the contingency table was not arranged in order
so whatever i did for the last20mins were wrong
and i cancelled the whole page and started doing it again
this time i had a proper value
and i embarked on tau-b
after u did everything i realized that my tau-b had a sig of 0.463
like totally insignificant
and i was in a state of panic
how could it ever be insignificant during exams
and i tried recalculating everything and failed
so i gave up and stoned 3 of the remaining 5mins
suddenly at the 4thmin i realized i forgot to square root the sigmasquare
and when i square root it
it totally became significant 0.0003
and because of this shit i didnt have much time to analyze the multivariate
just mentioned briefly
PANIC MUCH !
i thought i was gonna fail damn bad
30percent of my overall grade would be gone hahaha
how awesome is this man
anyways lunched with shahfi and xiuping
and madrush for soci of edu
which sucked equally
and im megatiredandsleepy, my contacts damn dry they are gonna fall off and ive got a megaheadache
