Gut feeling

Hi guys! It's been rather busy lately, with school, homework and CNY round the corner... So difficult to complete everything within the limited time i have :'( Totally the time when everyone starts tweeting/complaining, "So much to do, but so little time"

Orientation has started and i really really miss being J1, all high and carefree and all - at the start, at least! Regrets set in every time i see the OGLs leading the freshies around. I WANNA JOIN THEM TOOOOOOO! But oh well, should focus on my studies i guess. *think positive*

Let me just do a summary on my mundane life so far (highlights)

1.  had 2 out of 5 reunion dinner/lunches. Fat die meeee cause i tend to overeat a lot during steamboats :'(
2.  went to gardens by the bay for subject day!
3.  cut away like ~7cm of my hair. NOONE CAN SAY IT'S TOO LONG NOW
4. failed my electric field assignment test badly LOL
5. too mundane until i cannot remember anything else

Basically that's it?

Anyway, just wanted to talk about this "gut feeling" thing. I tend to be a very emotional creature and do things based on emotions majorly. I get ruled over by my emotions a little too much and this sometimes causes me to hurt myself/ the people around me. But well, the only comforting thing is that at any point in time, I'm staying true to my feelings so... i guess it's good?

I mean, it might be considered selfish to certain people, but c'mon, who doesn't listen to their own heads and make decisions most beneficial to you at any point in time, right?

Well, my heart and head always seem to be at loggerheads with each other (i guess for most of us) and... let's just say i tend to listen to my head because i think overly much about every single thing. Every possible situation, outcome, people's reactions, my feelings, blah blah blah... You get it. So i consider too much of the practical stuff to be able to coolly allow myself to follow my heart, i guess?

But I've been trying to curb the horrendous habit of overthinking every little detail so that i don't make myself suffer so much - found out it's just internal turmoil or self-created trouble. 

SO yeah! People out there who care too much about what others think of you, say about you, and bother too much about everything, just take a little break for yourself to breathe (and your over-active mind). Put away all the troubling thoughts for a while and just maybe savour the little things that make you happy. A good piece of chocolate, a nice cup of coffee/tea, a nice walk in the park or somewhere nice, a good movie/show, etc.

Stay happy guys! :)
