Random Thoughts
My body clock seems a little funny as of late, and here I am blogging at 5:13am. Anyway, just some random thoughts.
Blackburn is disappointing. They actually lost to a side which is around 17th in the championship (division 1) table. I think hughes needs to re-look into a few things, and perhaps make a few purchases. Seems to be some missing gaps in the squad over the last 10 or so matches, especially in that center of midfield. Now, even the wall of nelson and samba has fallen. 3 penalties conceded in 3 games? However, sparky doesn't seem to be changing anything at this moment, and I'm wondering why. Doesn't it sometimes feel frustrating as a soccer fan, as we always have to watch all the mistakes, and cannot make our point heard or felt to the players and managers.
Suddenly in a dilema over my modules, as I overlooked a clash in timetable. I am someone who likes to take at least one out of faculty module, giving me an option to S/U. But now that science of music has clashed, I am left with the possibility of taking 5 FASS modules. In my opinion, that is not my ideal move because the new S/U option can certainly help ease off some pressure in the coming semester, so I guess I will have to re-look at my timetable and modules again.
Yeah, Singapore's bid for the youth olympics looks good. Not too long ago after site recces, it was reported that Moscow and Singapore were the two better countries to host the games. However, Moscow was placed ahead of Singapore as our games village (suppose to be in the new NUS warrren town) has yet been built. However, news just came in that they are instead looking at countries who cannot host the normal olympic games, and Russia has already hosted the olympics before. Furthermore, there seems to be some reason that has resulted in the committee not seeing eye-to-eye with Moscow, so that puts Singapore in even better stead to host the games! The reason why I am hoping we get the bid? It's because the next 2 years will see huge changes in Singapore, and this games will result in even more changes. There will be higher focus on sports in Singapore, as well as new facilities which have been long overdue. Bedok swimming complex is old :P Sounds exciting!
Came across this phrase while watching tv, and I am sure its a familiar phrase to many. It reminded me of something which happened last semester, so I shall pen it down. One of the actors said to another, "Appearance does not matter". To be honest, I see where this phrase is getting at. But to be even more honest, and in my opinion, this phrase is a big lie. Whether you like it or not, appearance does matter, and for most instances, it matters the most. The first of your senses you use when you encounter a thing or a person, is that of sight. And correct me if I am wrong, but many things will already have been pre-conceived or pre-judged in that first second of encounter. Although things may or may not change after that first second, appearance has already mattered. The same applies to projects and reports. Many a times we often hear lecturers and tutors saying, do not spend so much time on the designs and look of your report, focus on the more important content. But it's a matter of fact that if your work is presented nicely and pleasing to the eye, the marker will have somewhat pre-conceived your work to be of better quality, that gives you a definite edge. Of course, at the end of the day good content is still important. The same goes for your interviews; your powerpoint slides and the way you dress. But apparently (as experienced from project work last semester), some people just do not get this point. So does "Appearance does not matter" still hold true?
