To Find Myself

I must regain my optimism! Get up and smile once more..

I've advanced to the Hard difficulty at the Sudoku website you can find at the links section. As of now, I broke the 10 minute barrier for the first time with 9 minutes 56 seconds. This score is within the top 47%, but doesn't quite make the mode.
Along the theme of games, yesterday I blasted and slashed at my brothers over the X-Box in Halo 2. I didn't do so well in large maps where reflexes and strategy comes into play, however in a small map with everyone carrying rocket launchers I won the game. I think it's because I'm good at noticing small movements/details on my screen and thus can spot targets to blast, despite poorer reflexes. This sharpness in detecting details carries over into reality too, I often spot people without having to bump into them, and note unique facts in an ordinary situation.

Besides all that, I'm not in a very good position in time now. If my JC life is to be a replica of my secondary school life, with time going twice as fast, I would now be in difficulties with regard to friends and work attitude. And indeed this seems so, but I must not allow negativity to take over. Not this time!
