 Oh yeah i'm leaving Singapore for Shanghai tmr for world expo before heading home* :D So i figured that i should do with a short update here before i leave. Well Term 2 ended before i knew it. Semester 1 came and went. To me it has be a fruitful one at least, i reached my goals and i devoted myself alot to my passions, whether is it towards practicing piano or playing basketball. And when the urge comes, i will study my subjects with a heart, at least it brings out that sense of purpose which makes my life more meaningful as a student. Nonetheless, i think this semester ended with some fond memories because i really dedicated a lot to my passions. I remember i often sneaked in to the auditorium, turned on the mike and start playing on the half-dead piano even if i was going to be late for class, haha i think boys should always dare to take risks and push themselves beyond limits at times dont you agree? And whether rain or shine i will always be at the basketball court, even though at times basketball can get tough, or i fail and fail to try to achieve breakthroughs for myself, but my attitude and altitude towards basketball is always there, that's what keeps me going. i find that the greatest motivation for myself is not the want to score or out of pure amateur interest, but it is the fear that one day i suddenly find that my passion towards it fades, the fear of unable to overcome my mental block on the court. Haha like NBA, everything on the court can be sacrificial but belief. i can sense my willpower to out-do myself, i belief in myself and that's everything to it that i can say. Haha like real life, it is at that precise moment that determines everything. At that millisecond you have to make that choice, you have to give your best even if circumstances does not allow. That is the courage and self belief that basketball gives me and i think this is for life. haha this is the world i belong to, each of you have different goals and interest in life, whether is it sane or insane you all have the right to work on it and in no time you will find yourself in a world that truely belongs to you. the significant thing is to follow your heart and adhere to your own principles, at times we all have to take a step back and give in and set ourselves limits. I think that is no way you can understand yourselve better other than the process of getting back on your feet after a bad bloody nasty fall haha. So yeah i hope term 3 will be a better term for me to excel and more oppotunities for me to prove my abilities, and make the right decision that not only changes my own fate, but other people's life as well. Till the end, strangers are just family that you have yet to know right :D Have a good holiday guys, With love. *back on the 11th.  Haha basketball shoes. from left to right, weichia and sitong. When design meets technology. That's the sparkle and shine you will get (:Wednesday, May 26, 2010 SNAPSHOTS (:

" Even when the curtains are drawn, the applause never fades, just like the smiles from my parents when I have achieved my goals. They serve the purpose not only to motivate me even harder, but also inspire me and bring out the meaning in my life. This is something I am proud in terms of academics and where I am truly happy to be at. " Hahah an excerpt from my portfolio :D I came up with this equation : Passion = Interest + hard work & commitment/ Devotion haha no matter who you are or what status you have in life, we all have the choice to believe in ourselves and open our hearts to this world, it just depends on your perspective. But one thing remains the same no matter what happens, that is our faith towards our affections. with love. Monday, May 24, 2010  "白杨木影子被拉长 像我对你的思念走不完 原来我从未 习惯 你已不在我身旁 街道的铁门被拉上 只剩转角霓虹灯还在闪 这城市 的小巷 雨下一整晚" ――――周杰伦，《雨下一整晚》 Saturday, May 22, 2010 Haha yeah finally back from OBS camp, just a short one before i go :D Well, so what's so memorable and special about this camp? Honestly to tell you the truth, i was swearing and cursing throughout the whole camp LOL. But now back at home and reminiscing back on the 5 days, it made me realized that everything was worthwhile and at least it was definitely memorable. This camp actually allowed me to achieve breakthroughs, to reach a height i've never reached before. It made me push myself to beyond my limits to find a world that i thought never did exist, haha how funny it is though i really thought i can't do it. There are many times i just want to let go of everything, i got really tired of it and i just want to find a place and hide inside to protect myself and let my attitude show. But then i reminded myself to compromise, one step at a time, persevere. If you need to bite on your teeth and let your sweat drip into your eyes, just do it. Through all this self emotional control and experiences i really grew alot in terms of character. I used to rely a lot on myself and not depend on the others, but through this 5 days i fully understood the meaning of teamwork. Haha and all my camp mates have a role to play as well, they are like a mirror reflecting my aces and shortcomings, i can see where am i lacking in especially in terms of attitude and character. Yeah i am not going to talk about the activities, everyones' experience is different but yet in each of your world, we make the best out of it and then it becomes a fairytale. Kayaking was dope though i thing that's the only thing i loved (: Anyway, i'm greatful to all of you who made it possible for me to survive through, its no big deal but i guess there is more significance to the events, experiences, comments that we had through out. One comment does make a difference, it may give you inspiration, give you motivation, give you the strength and determination to push on and that is when it sparks your character and bring out who you really are. Haha from your faces, your smiles and your eyes, i can step myself into your shoes and feel what you are feeling, to share woe and happiness together. I think that is what made all of us bonded together and survived together. There are areas i really need to change for the better and i know myself, but i don't need to change my personality and perspectives because that is what that make me who i am today. -.* For i am Ding Sitong.  Man this camp made me how impt good shoes are seriously. Imagine wearing a pair of SOLELESS trackshoes with just a piece of 5 mm cloth below and soaking it in the sea with your feet on for 10 hours, and the best thing is that you have to wear it again the next day with it smelly and wet and sandy. T.T Haha this is the second thing i got immediately after OBS. i just put down all my luggage and ran down my house the next millisecond.Okay this post is real dope, the camp was dope, the after-camp-food was dope,but mum's even more dope. Happy birthday mum. <3 Friday, May 21, 2010 Yeap, the first thing i went to get after Obs camp is to collect my Jay Chou album :D Music is just like a vampire, it never gets old and it never dies.   "天亮了 雨下了 你走了 清楚了 我爱的 遗失了 落叶飘在湖面上睡著了 想要放 放不掉 泪在飘 你看看 你看看不到 我假装过去不重要 却发现自己办不到 说了再见 才发现再也见不到 我不能就这样失去你的微笑 " ---<说了再见> Saturday, May 15, 2010 Ok i figured out that before i go for level camp next week i should do a post here haha, or else i''ll gradually develop that habit of not wanting to post anymore haha. But whatever things we do in live it should be natually, come from out hearts and not 'doing for the sake of doing' as cliche as it sounds haha, most of us are doing that unconciously. Well CS concert was great ttm! haha what touched me was the ending part, although curtains were drawn already but we all went up to give hugs and kisses heheh. Its quite emotionally for most of them since it may be the last year of performance for them haha. I can understand that feeling of parting with something, or someone you love. No doubt it is the most difficult choice ( do we have a choice)to make in life, when you have to part with the person so important to you, when you know that you may not see their smiles again, or even hear their voices, this is the most heartbr-aching and painful feeling you can ever have as a human, its so untolerable that you can swallow it at all. Like when you see the person you love walk away from you and slowly watching her get out of your sight, or when the greatest MJ passed away, or when your love one leaves you and never comes back again.
There comes a point where you miss someone so much that you can hear their voice echo in your head & you can hear the names that they used to call you; the words they used to tell you. You memorized their laugh, their smile & their ways. You can also feel their arms around you & you don’t want to let go even though you know that it’s just an illusion. You knew that looking back on the tears would make you laugh but you never knew that looking back on the laughs would also make you cry. And all you would want is to go back in time. I believe all of you has experienced this before. And the only thing you can find comfort in, is to reminisce on those memories, nothing else. Life has its ups and downs, but life is fair. I want to thank all those who went through so much with me in this period of time, be it happy or sad times, i love you all ! SHOUTOUT TO JOANNE LEE! :D i guess i'll repost some pictures too, classic(:
Most imptly, 学音乐的孩子不会学坏<3 Trust.
i love nike :D
So this is me, with my passions, my inspirations, my life, and my perspective. I love you all. <3 Friday, May 14, 2010 Yeap guys, the 1st semester of school has finally more or less came to an end. School's not too bad for me haha, it has its happy and sad times, just like everything has its up and downs. I think in our teenage life its really about pursuing your goals, pursuing your passion. Believe it or not when we grow up, secondary school life will be much more memorable, so i just want to tell you guys to indulge in what you think is right and leave yourself with happy memories throughout this phase. Hahah school's out, memories past, but no doubt, friendship lasts. i love my friends who has gone through so much with me this term, be it cursing or swearing at grades, or blasting out with euphoria when we ace studies together, i just wanna tell you all that these friendships will accompany me for the rest of my life, i'm what i am also because of your presence. Be it playing piano during PE lessons (LOL), running to the basketball court immediately after class, or catching up with the latest gossip, thank you for being here for me (: Haha ohyeah, another thing i wanna say is that don't ever compare yourself to the others because you don't have to, each and everyone of us has our strengths and weaknesses, having trust in yourself is enough to build up that courage and confidence. Justlike Kobe Bryant when he entered NBA at the age of 17, "I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I just want to be Kobe Bryant" haha there are times in life we may begin to doubt ourselves, like doubt our perspectives and even abilities. But have you asked yourself why? So what if you fall? just get back on your feet again! Haha the reason why i am so persistant and hardworking(maybe not), is the smiles from my parents faces when i tell them my grades, that's everything, nothing else need to be said, just that smile is enough to push me further and give me that undying attitude, be it studies or basketball. Find your motivation that only your heart knows, thats everything already.. We are the world, we are the children. Tuesday, May 11, 2010  Shoe Frenzy.
SO...I went for quantum merchanics interview today. Haha, scary to the max. But i figured out that i did my best, i did my homework before the interview, at least i did what i can. I hope i impressed the interviewer interms of personal areas of question because i said so much about myself, my personal strengths, passion, interest and weaknesses and i even mentioned my parents LOL. Its normal, they're inspirational to me so i figured out that it would be a bonus for my interview haha. When the interviewers asked me about quantum..not too bad actually, i answered all the questions (when i didn't really believed that i could before it) and i only became stuck at one question. Haha but my conclusion to the interview was great, ended off with my personal principles, how to give and get, how to make the world a better place with my knowledge, with quantum mechanics. <3
Saturday, May 8, 2010  ok, i just did lots of reading up on "Quantum Mechanics" and i tell you it seriously freaked me out. Not as in there's lots to study on this module or its too chim to understand, but it scared shit out of me because its starting to make doubt reality. What exactly is R-E-A-L-I-T-Y? I checked up thefreedictionary and came up with these possible definitions: 1. The quality or state of being actual or true. 2. The totality of all things possessing actuality, existence, or essence 3. That which exists objectively and in fact Here comes the problem. According to the video i posted below on quantum physics (it doesn't matter if you ain't a physics student), it demonstrated the weird behaviour of photons. When individual protons, or particles are fired into the slids, it created 2 identical beams of mark. When a wave, for example a water wave, is displaced by a vibration, it goes through the 2 slids and the waves interfere with each other, causing disturbance and an interferance pattern. Now, an electron is fired. Its a particle, so by right it should create the same pattern as when a particle is fired. But didn't! it actually created an interference pattern as if it was a wave.. And here comes the scary part, when a human eye, or a detector is present, the electron actually alters its behaviour, it doesn't create that interference pattern anymore, but instead a 2 slit pattern caused by a particle. This is odd, eerie and weird. There's one possible theory that explains these very real phenomenon and it scared the shit out of me. This theory, known as " collapse of wave function" explains how an entity such as a photon or an electron could travel as a wave but arrive as a single particle. According to this theory, what is passing through the apparatus used in the experiment is not a material at all, but a "probability wave". which means that the particle does not have a definite location. but has a probability of being here or there randomly. In this theory, an electron not being observed does not exist as a particle at all, but has a wave-like property covering areas of probability where it could be found. Once the electron is observed, the wave function collapses and the electron becomes a particle. When we are not looking at the particle, the probability wave of even a single particle, is spread out and will pass through both slits the same time and arrive at the detector as a wave showing an interference pattern. When we observe the electron by placing detectors, it is as if forced into revealing its location which causes the probability wave to collapse into a particle. If this theory is TRUE, it suggests one single implication: Nothing is real until it has been observed! So is this quantum theory explaining that in our word, nothing exists until it has been observed? Is it true that our world, our universe exists only because we are looking at it? Omg, i'm baffled to the extent of doubting reality. Its like, what the hell! LOL. Then how can we define "entity" now? how can we define our world? What exactly are, humans? Friday, May 7, 2010 Hey guys, this week wasn't as great as i had expected. I am not sure of the reason either, i think there's something wrong with me. Like you have achieved everything and there's nothing else left, only applauses and all you can do is to standstill at that very spot and wait for the curtains to draw, and your life behind that curtain becomes so dark, so lonely instantaneously. Maybe this is the best ever description i can give haha. I have a positive outlook towards my life, but i'm a human too, i feel...not really at the best of mood like what you guys always does. haha anw, Mother's day is around the corner, remember to give hugs and kisses! Love from a mother outstands all and everything, its so powerful, selfless, sarcificial, unresistable and it never ceases. No matter what happens, this love is always there, like a lighthouse never quits to give light regardless of how big the storm is. The are times you feel that your mum is the least person you wanna see, but believe it or not, this form of love is everlasting, it can take on all forms, no matter what injustice you face in the outside world, head home. Because at home you'll find the greatest support of all, that form of love that makes your heart soft and bring you back to the place you initially existed in. That's it for today, i can't really feel my heart now, i can't really describe my arterial surges of emotions, but i know one thing for sure, that's my faith for life holds on. Ok, get this thing started son, Quantum interview's next tues. ~ Thursday, May 6, 2010 WHAT IS THIS, QUANTUM MECHANICS? YOU'RE SCARING ME OUT. Its so, wow. So does it mean that realitly belongs independently to whatever is observing and the truth exists outside of perception, as perception isn't really seeing, rather it's a mechanism used to weigh up what it determines it's allowed to perceive based off it's own mechanisms? "Quantum theory is bizarre. In order to try and understand it we need to forget everything we know about cause and effect, reality, certainty, and much else besides. This is a different world, it has its own rules, rules of probability that make no sense in our everyday world." Richard Feynman This world is just magnificant, if you have eyes with Vision. |
