symbol of a thousand words

on August 19, 2010
i recently found this blog and found it was quite interesting.. every post was filled. Not with words, but with pictures instead. it`s like the blogger was trying to tell his/her story through the pictures posted in each post. that is really and interesting idea to me. Though i didn`t know whether he/she followed someone else`s blog but nevertheless, i still like it a lot. i mean, could u imagine that instead of talking to each other we can project images to each other?? that would be quite cool to me.. =) i kinda remember reading a book like this once i think.. many years ago. the books tells about a gifted child, who is unable to talk but able to project her thoughts and memories through pictures.. oh no! i think that`s twilight... -.- oh well.. i think being able to project a thought to others is one of the many superpowers i dream to have. after all, as it had always been said, "a picture speaks a thousand words." =)



that`s six thousand words for you...

personal statement

on August 11, 2010
every time if you desire to apply to a university, apply for a scholarship, and so on.. you`re have to write a personal statement. everyone`s always saying, sell yourself, make yourself sound very confident, impress them, blow them away and so on.. and so you sit down and think.. hmm what`s good about myself?? a long list starts to roll out in your mind.. you eagerly start taking out a pen and paper, or start up your computer, and start putting that long list down in print. but suddenly, you stop. you hesitate. you wonder. am i really what i think i am?? am i what the people reading my essay wants me to be?? this followed by a sense of fright. would others condemn me?? what if they laugh at me??? i don`t want to seem like a stucked up person. and so, you start looking for friends to help you. but the truth is, no one really knows you than yourself. yes , you , you the one reading. you are the one that knows yourself the best. never ever trust anyone completely as everyone always has a vested interest. oh s***. diverted from the main point. when writing a personal statement, there is is no WRONG or CORRECT essays but there is always a RIGHT essay. poeple are always telling you to BE YOURSELF. but it always means, BE WHAT I LIKE YOU TO BE. this is not bullshit, it`s true. in this huge world we live in, every job we do or even the personality we have. have to be likeable. how subjective don`t you think??? i definately think so.


dun be perasan ar.
