It's not a trick.

C me soon ok? 

I just finished packing all my notes and clearing my room. It looks so neat now and I feel quite accomplished! It's been a while since I've been home alone and I get to do things at my own pace (not get stressed and rushed by examinations). I read the papers in peace, played 2moons, piano, flute and tidied my room. That's a lot of things done for half a day! (:

Packing my notes, I realised the amount of knowledge I've accumulated over the one year in FASS. There were a lot of readings and I picked up a lot of things from my education. Comparing tertiary education to the rest, I find it more interesting and engaging. At the same time, the stress I get from assignments and examinations is very different. Especially in arts, you really have to stretch your brain and critically analyse the information given to you. Merely memorising would not do. I'm glad I made it to the course of my choice. Although at times I do get discouraged when I think about how less valuable an arts/social science degree would be, I'm still glad for the things I learn. Education really opened my eyes to a lot of things which I wouldn't have bothered finding out. 

That being said, uni life is lonely for me. Not joining hall and participating in CCAs just doesn't seem to be me. Perhaps the travelling made me a lazier person, or I've becomed more financial conscious, but I'm determined not to make my last lap of education bleak. Maybe I should join a CCA to enhance my life and perhaps go for some treks or expedition with rovers or ODAC. Hopefully, I would be able to secure SEP in my third year and get to travel and experience a long period away from home. Right now, I have to continue saving up and make sure I am financially capable to support myself when the time comes.

There is so much I want to achieve and to work on. Do it with me.

Amen.

Random me decided to blog. I was feeling kind of discouraged  and "serve-you-rightish" for a few days cause of a really bad grade for my political science essay (which weighs 40%). I still feel sore about it, but I've accepted it. I guess growing up means accepting failures, coming to terms with it, and moving on. That's what I need to do now and concentrate on my finals (which I find so hard to do).

I have many thoughts to pen but I've gotten lazy to blog about them. I realised that life doesn't always go the way you want it, but it doesn't mean that that's all bad. It's how you treat the obstacles that come in your way, and how much faith you have that matters. At the end of the day, you're still you and life goes on. To not lose oneself, is very important.

Reccently, I've been thinking a lot about the future. I envision the lifestyle I would live and the people who would be around me, and what life would be with my own house and having more control over the things I do, the money I spend. It's actually quite exciting but at the same time, I'm scared. Scared of the unpredictability of the future and fearful of not living a life I want. Growing up to be an adult isn't something that occurs overnight. I don't feel any different when I hit 21. It's the experiences, the critical moments that I encountered along the way that shaped me bit by bit. I guess one thing is for sure, I will still be me. Be it 10 years, 20 years down the road, I will still be me..

Will you be you? 

Let us celebrate a new year! Alright, it's day 19 of 2010 already but what the hack.

How fast time flies! I've already completed one semester in uni and have already started my second. At the end of the first semsester, I knew I learned a lot yet at the same time I felt unconfident of my results as I couldn't gauge my performance. Thankfully, my grades were better than my worse fears. I guess half of me was paranoid while the other half was just plain guilty for not doing my readings (and keeping up) faithfully. I never felt so stressed up the day before geog + el. This sem, I won't let it happen again and so far, I've been on time with my readings (: I really enjoy my course and despite the stressful moments, the overall university learning experience is a great one.

This year, I hope to keep up with a healthy regime. To exercise (run & swim) 1-3 days a week, to donate blood every 3 months, to study and learn more, spend time with my loved ones and hopefully to get my much delayed driving license. My 4 years old BTT is seriously rotting there man.

Oh and I just completed my first 10km run with Tok. I never knew it was possible for me ever since those unfriendly episodes of pneumothorax but I did it. There will be more to come and hopefully one day, like Oprah, I can complete a marathon.

Next time then.

Ciaoz~

Going strong?

I can't log into fb! I went for a run with Jaryl and I just showered and I'm just bumming around, randomly clicking on facebook before I hit chapter 4 of Japanese studies and all of a sudden, fb logged me out. When I tried logging in again I kept getting this error message that says:

You must log in to see this page.

So I reset my password umpteem times and this message still repeats itself:

You must log in to see this page.

I think I'm just officially addicted to fb cause I got so desperate that I e-mailed them for helped. ><

I guess I have to face it. My Tokugawa lecture notes are screaming for me to read them now.

Bye.

OICU now. (:

Maybe I should blog again. Blogging was so exciting in the past.

Yawn.

Projects, tutorials, assignments, mid-terms and readings.

Interesting?

Now left to secure tutorial timeslots and 1 GEM. Let's aim for a 3-day school week~! 

SCHOOL IS STARTING AND I'M HAVING INFORMATION OVERLOAD READING ALL THE STUFF IN FASS!

Despite that, I think I made the perfect choice for myself. Now I only have to decide what to major in... um... everything seems so interesting and I wanna spend time in everything. And everything just seems so related to each other! Ergh.

I'm having a panic attack.

I think typing out my thoughts ease it a little.

So I'm here to blog.

NEVERTHELESS, I'm EXCITED!

Say hello to student life again (:


Be well...

It was a book that touched me and I learnt some stuff from it. It made me ponder on two things, about relationships and also about life and death.

Samuel, aids.

May, cancer.

It is painful to live knowing that you're going to die from a terminal illness. It isn't like we know when we're going to die cause things like accidents might just happen, but at least we don't have to worry about something that is slowly leeching our lives away. The will to live and the will to fight the disease, I admire you. I really do for I know not if I have the courage to live each day not knowing when I'll go..

On the former, peculiar it may seems, but it only seems so because it isn't common. Don't judge. It's just different.

The journey.
