Stagnation

Sometimes in life, u come to a point where u think about what is the meaning of life. where u are going, and what are u doing right now. Meng said the other day that his life is at a stagnation point, where life is so.. mundane.. in and out do the same stuff and it seems like it's getting no where.

to me, stagnation is a good thing. it's a good thing because it proves that we have managed to achieve a certain level at something... that we are so used to it that it no longer becomes a challenge. so when life is stagnant, then what do we do? we do other things, bigger things, better things, greater things to improve and challenge what we can do.

direction in life does not mean only 1 path. it could be taking different paths, and arriving at the same point. or maybe at some point in life, we realize that the destination might have changed, and therefore the paths taken have to change as well.

that's the reason i took up psychology of film this sem. to see what i can do, something outside of the normal theoretical class. my life is pretty stagnated as well.. for now.. some of the things which is breaking my stagnation in life would be

1) ARUPS Conference presentation - ngek ngek.. i think i going to present in ARUPS. They say i will be notified IF my abstract is shortlisted.. XD

2) home tuition - one of my friend asked whether i wanted to do home tuition for this kiddo. and i said yes.. hopefully i can get the job.. see how it's like to teach kiddo.. and the pay is not bad too i think ^^

3) VVBC - kar wai the other day asked me whether i would want to go over to VVBC and play volleyball with them.. hehehe.. i guess it's a good opportunity to take my volleyball life a step higher as this would probably be a long term thing. After all, i would be graduating from Uni soon. so i can't play any longer for college then..

so if life is stagnated, what do u do? go do something different. do something bigger, better, greater, higher, and more meaningful, like touching other people's life... participate in cleaning activities, charities etc.

Life is not just about ourselves. It's about US

God Bless~
