Currently Playing: Silent All These Years by Tori Amos
Dear readers, heard the maxim "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail"? but if u hv no plan, wat is there to fail? better that you don't plan... coz Life has a mind of its own... and if u hv a plan, it'll somehow do something to ruin it!!
Take today for example. Planned it 2 weeks ago:
4pm: Get ready to go out with car.
5pm: Pick up someone at her place.
6pm: Park at indoor stadium. Have a nice, unrushed dinner at Cosy Bay.
8pm: Watch musical. Have a nice time.
10-11pm: Musical ends, send her home coz tml's a working day. Thank her for a pleasant evening.
What actually happened:
4pm: Get ready to take a nap.
5pm: Wake up from nap. Type a grand total of 6 sentences on FYP report.
6pm: Give up on typing report. Get ready to go gym.
7pm: Meet buyer of tickets for above mentioned musical. Sold tickets at a loss.
8pm: Go for a jog. Almost died.
10-11pm: Watched TV which didn't have much music. Donald Trump ended the evening.
Note to self: Give up on planning. That goes for you readers too!
I'd like to think that there is some method to my madness, some control in my chaos.
Split, Croatia
always looking somewhere else...

About Me
- Rockie
- Singapore
- A guy stuck in a university course he finds absolutely no interest in. A guy who wants a journal for his thots, to capture snapshots of his mind before he loses it to exams. A guy who loves variability and variety, who always yearns to wander everywhere, to expand his horizons. A guy who can't sit still, who'd rather be kayaking, trekking, diving, sailing, phototaking, travelling. A guy who irritates his frens to no end coz he's unable to sit still. A guy who find joy just standing on the peak of a mountain, overlooking rolling hills, lush jungles, wide open spaces. Or on a boat in the middle of the wide, open ocean. Or interactions with animals, wild or otherwise. A guy who wants to improve on himself, thus needs to record down his thots to find out how he can. Also needs an avenue to vent his negative thots. In short, just a guy, just slightly different from everyone else. >>>> Finally, he is free. and he can't bear to delete this, which is an entry itself.

Sometimes if don't plan, really don't get anything done. Well at least for me....
For work, will get abit lost... forget to follow up on things until its too late, etc etc.
For personal, will end up not doing what I wanted to do, not exercising, not meeting ppl, etc etc.....
So, planning abit more impt for me... hahaha
"For personal, will end up not doing what I wanted to do, not exercising, not meeting ppl, etc etc..... "
so there were things u WANTED to do... meaning there WAS a plan! u planned to do those things... else how did u "not do what u wanted to do?" it wld hv just been "didn't do"
so u wld hv just done or not done stuff, as opposed to not doing what was supposed to. and thus no need for the original post's comparison.
Hmm... Want and plan are actually quite different things....
For example.... if I'm so angry that I WANT to kill someone.... it doesn't mean that I actually PLAN to do so rite.... :P
ok well... dpds on how ur attitude i guess.
for me, if i really want something, i'll plan to get it.
u psychopath... i'm never that angry that i really wanna kill someone! at most i plan an "accident"... cleaner that way. hahahahaha
