There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away...
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear...
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

haha i hate to admit that im a closet mariah carey fan (her old songs anyway), but chanced upon this song today and found it really comforting... esp the long road stanza... but then i started thinking about what 'hero' really means... hmm.
well just a random entry from someone who's bored sick with writing her anthro paper. wat would i do without my mp3 collection!!

SER, TSS, RSS, ESS, standard deviation, correlation, covariance, coefficient of determination... n the list goes on.
argh. i really do appreciate the usefulness of regression models but the hundred and one terms r simply driving me nuts!!! shud haf found a better way of spending my sunday morning i guess... like going to church... sigh every week i find some excuse not to go, until i'm starting to feel guilty abt not feeling guilty enuff abt it... actually, if u ask me why i "want" to be a christian, i will also say i dunno... i guess it's just tt i want something to hang on to? at the end of the day, something tt will give more meaning to my existence, to make my life more purposeful. i wun deny it's a selfish reason, i always think tt when one is down and out, religion really does help to soothe a troubled soul... the only problem is tt when things are going well, it's so hard to put it as a priority, to give up time n energy for it... hmm. sad how i see myself as a disciplined person yet when it comes to this....
anyway, first time i really 'celebrated' vday yesterday (yes it was wif a group of friends). previously it never was much of a big deal for me... my memories of it are limited pretty much to stuff like rgs prefects selling roses, mr ang imposing a ban on the term "valentine" n insisting tt it be called "friendship" day by the councillors (haha) n at most going to orchard after school tt day to hang out. actually we din do much yesterday either, but i was really touched by the tshirts tt i got... heh will nv understand how one sweater worn on one occasion made such a lasting impression but yeah, i must say tt the tshirts r really quite a cute idea.
ok time to go for brunch liao... this puts an abrupt end to my long-awaited update.
