Drowning.
Why does everything come at the same time? I can't swim. It's not that I didn't try... Where's my lifeboat? My life buoy?
Is it that after I have survived this leg, things will get better? NO!! Things will only get busier...
Will go into overdrive. Then will burn out. Then will go crazy...
"Hello? Woodbridge har? The twin sharing room I reserved some time ago is available for occupancy anytime right? So I don't have to give notice before turning up at your door right? Thank you ah."
Why do I get tired so easily... Really want to try my best, but my best is not as good as people's average...

random thoughts...
Recently a few of my friends have suffered the loss of their loved ones. I am glad that they appear to be coping well and are fine. I never know what to say when I attend wakes, don't know how to offer comforting words or show that I care.
At times, I must have seemed somewhat insensitive to others' feelings. I tend to focus too much on certain things and neglect others. It is hard to constantly remind myself to remember to be aware of what is happening to all my beloved friends. Of course, during this period of time everyone is overworked and under stress. Tempers flare easily, people tire quickly and fall sick more frequently, and we end up hurting those people who matter most to us. On this note, I would like to say:
I'm sorry for all that I have done. Doing many right things does not cancel out the few wrong things we have done. Whatever I've done wrong, I'm sorry. I will try my best not to repeat the same mistakes.
The sun is out! The world is a beautiful place. :)

The Sun

"The Sun is the most prominent feature in our solar system. It is the largest object and contains approximately 98% of the total solar system mass. One hundred and nine Earths would be required to fit across the Sun's disk, and its interior could hold over 1.3 million Earths. The Sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000°C.
The Sun appears to have been active for 4.6 billion years and has enough fuel to go on for another five billion years or so. At the end of its life, the Sun will start to fuse helium into heavier elements and begin to swell up, ultimately growing so large that it will swallow the Earth. After a billion years as a red giant, it will suddenly collapse into a white dwarf -- the final end product of a star like ours. It may take a trillion years to cool off completely. "
