Dreams form My Father -Barack Obama

This is a good book to read if you like to read about the philosophy of life and people's biography.

The book is about how Barack grew up as a boy in Indonesia, worked in Chicago and went to Kenya to finally meet the other part of his family that he didn't really knew. In this book, he mentioned about how he encountered racism, politics and most of all, about himself (being of mix race) and his family. He never mentioned about how he manage to overcome/deal with racism and politics though. He sort of mentioned how he manage to finally accept and understand himself by learning about his family and most importantly, his father that he had only met once in his life but has a huge impact on him.
Funny enough, I find that I can relate to him somehow on quite a number of his life experiences.

Not bad for a future USA president. Whatever it is, be it Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, the US presidential race of 2008 will definitely be interesting. :)
here's some excerpts his book.

"Of course it hurts. Sometimes you can't worry about hurt. Sometimes you worry only about getting where you have to go"

"Our women have carried a heavy load. If one is a fish, one does not try to fly - one swims with other fish. One only knows what one knows. Perhaps if I were young today, I would only care about my feelings, and falling in love. But that's not the world I was raised in. I only know what I have seen. What I have not seen doesn't make my heart heavy"


Finally!
Completed my exams. Left with only one major client presentation to go (by today).

Sick... again?

I hate getting sick.
someone actually commented that i'm probably sick nearly every week. well, not really. but nearly. there's a bad flu bug spreading around in school ever since january. i wish my body is stronger...

dear body,
i know i haven't really been taking care of you that well lately. especially since i haven't given you enough exercise that you crave and enough sleep that you wish to have. but come on, is 1 year of this so much for you to bear?

dear mind,
i know that you're stronger than my body, so can you please quit having an inner war between the left and the right and just concentrate on getting body working fine? apart from doing well in studies okay?

dear heart,
please figure out the priorities and get it right!


and if you guys are starting to think i'm going nuts. yes, i am :P
I HATE COLDS (be it sickness or even temperature)!!!

Brain Preference

Are You a Right-Brain Thinker?

1. Which of the following most closely describes your strengths?
Your answer: Conceptualizing and creating
Right-brain thinkers tend to be better at tasks such as conceptualizing and creating. Left-brain thinkers tend to shine in the realms of mathematics, technology, and science. If you are a right-brain thinker, you may be more inclined to take in situations or people as a whole instead of a combination of parts with various details. People who prefer the outdoors and physical activity are often right-brain thinkers, as sports tend to emphasize intuition over verbal communication.
