Public Speaking Blunder
I blundered through my presentation today. Public speaking is considered one of my fortes, so you can imagine how angry I was with myself after the screw up. Prior to my presentation slot, there were four other presenters, all of whom were excellent. To add on to my nervousness, the person who first presented chose the same topic as I. Because of my anxiety of not reaching the benchmark set by him, I blanked out after my second sentence. This consequently triggered a chain reaction, which impeded my flow of thought. I ended up reading from my note card, which lacked substantial point to back whatever I was saying. As I moved on in my speech, I made noticeable pauses looking at the audience desperately. I was considering walking out and giving up. But I...
Love is the Triumph of Imagination over Intelligence
Within my skull, your wretched name is etched. I am your slave, for though the name resounds endlessly, never do I dare speak it, in fear of letting slip my fiery passion. Your presence prompts my heart and mind to race. And all too soon, the heart triumphs every ounce of logic. Had I the opportunity I’d stare forever into your eyes, the windows to your soul. On the rare chance upon which I caught glimpses into you eyes, I witnessed swimming playfulness, coupled with humbled maturity. Ah, alas, this is but inconsequential, for the witness shall only be a witness for evermore… It is doubtful that you will ever say my name as if it were holy. With even more certainty and conviction, our gaze will never meet, so as to connect our souls as one. This I...
The Lack of Thoughts
These days I haven’t been writing much thought-provoking entries. The lack of time and prescence of mind are the main reasons. However, I promise worthy entries in time to come. Many people know me to be intolerant of racism. Well, in general I frown at discrimination but have learnt to pick my battles. Therefore, in mentioning this, I wish to write various entries on discrimintation that eventually leads to a major entry, which reconciles the various concepts. Aside from the above, I know that I have neglected my life list. It is a list of my goals, which I want a substantial amount completed before my demise. Hence, during the coming vacation, I want to attempt contact juggling and brush up on my writing skills. The Logish Paradox site will be...
The Music I Listen To
People have been asking about the kind of music I listen to. With a quick check on my cellphone, which doubles as a music player, here are the bands and artistes: Within Temptation Groove Coverage Cascada Nightwish Gavin DeGraw David Bowie Alice Cooper The Beatles Simon and Garfunkel Annie Lenox Story of the Year Celine Dion D.H.T Ayumi Hamasaki Ambeon Chiodos Liz Phair DJ Styles Rihanna DJ Crawford My favourite band is Within Temptation. If you know me for long enough, you’d know that I love to dwell in fantasies. The music by Within Temptation allows me to catch glimpses of my own world, the world I had created when I felt lonely. As much as the world of Harry Potter appeals to me, it is also not my place of belonging. Let me digress a little. I’ve...
Pre-Exams Syndrome and Leadership Judgment
The period preceeding the exams can get exceptionally crazy. However the Lunar New Year is helping with lightening the mood. I did some shopping with Zhi Wei and Lian Hui. Anyway, I apologise for the tone in which I delivered the message of my previous entry. However, the judgment remains. A leader is one who chooses to accept his leadership, and in turn, leads with a sense of direction. While a leader may disagree with the team, he is obligated to listen to their views and suggestions. The strength of a team lies in its unity, diversity of perspectives and ability to allocate tasks efficiently. For this subject, my views have ended. Logen
