Counting my Blessings

I would say that I am a rather fortunate person, on the whole. Yeongmin and Weijuan, nearly two years ago, said that I should be happy with what I have. Shiqi said something like I should be more gracious and give thanks, and Xiangting mentioned before that I should treasure what I have. This makes literally four generations of OMC people. And I agree with them.

A lot of blogs that I read involve the author complaining about their lives. At least, one particular blog's author that I bookmarked likes to do that. A lot. I however, refrain from doing that, for I feel that it is uncool to keep on just talking about your hard times on your blog.

Hall life

I shall start with Hall life, which is what I value most of all in my life, and which there exists the most self talk arguments that I have with myself (in other words, the part of my life that I value most and also want the most out of).

I have, not a good roommie, but TWO roommies, two EXCELLENT roommies. If roommies can be graded like modules, WenHan and Kai Leong get an A+, no two way about that. My current roommie, though only a temporary one, also deserves an A- at least. Looking at how others quarrel with their roommies, from issues like what type of music to play in the room to big things like fights, I am really glad of my roommies.

I have good friends, friends who can really talk to, and talk openly to. This is something that people, esp most of all "popular" people, lack. They have too much on their mind to "maintain" their image, until they can't really be themselves. I thank them, I dun want to mention names, you know who you are, for helping me through all these hard times.

I have IH and IVP, though I admit, not having a main com in Hall is one of the greatest setbacks, disappointments, and regrets of my Hall life.

Family

I have a good and complete family. I have parents who do not use financial dependence as a weapon against me, allowing me to chase my dreams without fear of being cut behind. I also have three bonus relatives staying with me.

Health

I have a healthy body. I have no handicap or whatever issues except the one that I have mentioned. In addition, my endurance is unlimited. No matter how much I stretch myself, I can always do it.

School work

I have a course that is precisely my cup of tea. Consequently, even without studying much, I can still do passably.

Ok that is about all, I am happy to say that, fucked up though my life now is, at least, the basic things are all in, and I am fortunate, in that sense.
