Life. It's an interesting journey. And personally, my life has never been more amusing. I may not be taking it as humourously as it sounds but when I sit down to write this note, I look back and I am actually laughing (silently, cos my roomie is sound asleep).

As mentioned in my New Year's note, 2nd year has been one hell of a roller coaster ride. So many new experiences, good and bad. It's all part of the learning experience. A lot of them are stuff that I have never imagined myself doing. EVER. I would have never imagined that I could actually do such stuff, but hey, I figure that I am actually quite good at it. =)

Life is not really much of what is thrown at you, but what you do when something is thrown at you. Do you duck and avoid everything totally, or do you face it and hit back with a loud:' HA! TAKE THAT!'? Both the options are in your hands and both are justified; only if you choose to justify it. You have the option to exercise either, but only if things were only so simple as that. Our actions are often subconsciously or consciously influenced by many external factors. What friends say, what the society says or what gives you more. We can't be blamed. Man is genetically a social animal and we have been programmed to follow certain social norms. So what happens in the end; we end up making decisions based on social acceptance. However, we have to realise that sometimes, social acceptace does not mean that your desicion was rational.

Think about it. Do YOU make decisions based soley on your views or what you want? Trust me, you'd realise that is not the case at all. Even the simplest desicion on which canteen to go to for a meal is decided on who you are meeting/would bump into at the venue.

And so. I shall leave you thinking with this and wait for sleep to knock on my eyes.
