Thoughts of a Rodent

Sometimes don't really know whether it is just me or where I am and when it is. But it seems that I have been thinking a lot through this exchange experience. Or maybe staying in a small town gives you nothing much to do. Hence you fill up the empty spaces with thoughts and just let the nerve impulses jumping through the synapses.

Na ja whatever.

Being on exchange here led me to reconsider about what I am doing for a degree - again. I know it is a bit the too late now coz I am actually going into Honours year in August, but at least what comes next after Bachelor's?

No no, not going to get married (more likely to remain a bachelor until dunno when.. hehe no pun intended!) ... Or shall I further pursue my studies and work closer towards the dream of my life? If so, which subject? I once read that left-handed people have greater inclination towards arts, and I used to think that I am one of the exceptions that otherwise is proving the hypothesis wrong. But ever since I entered Uni and started learning a new language and also joining in Reso, I am really rediscovering the arty side of me. Yes, rediscover, cos I know I have absolutely no talent in drawing arts, maybe a slight tinge of it in terms of performing arts but need lots of guidance.

And as I begin to learn more on the German language, I also learnt to appreciate how other languages work, And I find the linguistic relationship of the languages very interesting! Sometimes I begin to indulge in these (and a cappella of course, it is an inseparable part of my life now) so much so that I feel a sense of detachment when I go back to the Lab and do my chemical experiments. What gives me the worst and biggest dilemma is that I do still enjoy my Chemistry labs...

Life is full of crossroads, and at all these junctures lie many many choices. Passion or practicality? Unfortunately in the culture and society that I was educated in, practicality is usually the limiting factor. A balance of both? Well for those who know me well, I always like to do things against the trend. Then again, it depends on how disciplined , determined, and lastly my true ability in living my passion.
