There's this sense of self victory that comes from the knowledge of improvement.

Just got back from cheer training, and I actually managed a few good stunts with the team. Slowly building on the confidence to ride it higher each time I'm being thrown in the air.

Other than that, things have been fine and dandy. Still have to finish up 3 essays before my week off ends, and also settle some deals with the companies that I've been working on with the business club. Not to mention the laying out of plans for UKEC (yes, I've just got elected onto the board with the support of the supreme council at the weekend's Annual General Meeting, whoopee). A lot on my plate for now, but I'm extremely happy that I'm immersing myself in the tasks at hand, at learning a whole lot along the way.

And the funny thing is this.I've come to learn not only the way in which things are best done, taking into account also the inevitable politics involved in certain matters; but more importantly, I've come to learn so much more about myself. Following the conversation I had with my brother recently, I must agree that living independently allows you to look into yourself, and discover little things that make you uniquely, you. The time alone, the empty spaces between one meeting and the next reveals the silent thoughts that never are fully realized within yourself - and the eventual acknowledgement of such, simply is amazing.

The awareness of the finer things that disturb you - (unarranged plates, unalligned papers and a messy bed), the funny habits that you subconsciouly practice (like how I insist on having my floor vacuumed even if its clean before I rush out in the mornings, and how I always have a to-do list), the strange reactions you get (like how my fingers and toes get extremely cold despite the warmth), the emotions that overwhelm you (the sudden dissapointment at not having things dealt with, the frustrating confusion over 5 pages worth of case studies,the self doubt, the overexcitement at any package received: latest Richard Branson's: Business Stripped Bare, which I will devour, devour!) ; all of which never really stood out until now.

And this comes as a rebirth of the self; seeing the good, the bad ;in a whole new light. For at the end of the day, at the threshold of tomorrow, it is you alone, and the whole world. It is you that you are responsible for- each action bears a consequence,it sees through in everything : your self management, your work, your relationships; and it is your choice to make things better, or worse.

.......one last thought : what is this about banning Yoga for Muslims in Malaysia?!!
