CNY 2009
Things are so much different this year....
4 days...
Going home this time round will be different.
I've got news for my mum.
Wonder how she will take it.
I've got something to occupy my mind.
Please take good care.
Please rest well.
Please have fun.
It won't pass easily... =(
But it will....
Wait for my return.
Rest thoroughly... enjoy to the max.
Tough ride ahead.
We'll get through it.Labels: Reflections

My Net Friends
I can't remember who my first net friend is.
I can't remember when I made my first net friend.
I have numerous net friends... many don't last.
But I had been lucky to make a few that last.
Not much contact now, or even lost contact.
One of the most significant one is a Singaporean who has gone to London to study.
OG. He calls himself the Opera Ghost.
He made me like broadway shows even more...
Made me feel like I have an older brother.
Haven't heard from him for the 2nd or 3rd year as of last Christmas (2008).
Quite sad.
It's not the Christmas gifts that he will send, but the friendship.
I doubt I'll have the chance to get him something in return when I start to work.
The 2nd being someone who had helped me quite a lot throughout my growing up years.
S. Ng.
Helped me become a happier person. To express the real me.
Given lots of encouragements, was my venting outlet.
Things just turned sour.
Might as well end it that way, I was just too disappointed.
It's good to keep a distance between us now.
3rd one is someone who was interested in me.
E. Oh
Nice person.
Keeping in touch occassionally.
But nothing much to talk about... we just don't share the same map of the world.
4th. Yan.
One of the reason why I am writting all these.
I can't remember how long I've known him... but surely before I left Ireland.
Made me discover my liking for photography, made me have confidence in my work.
Someone whom I can vent out to... given and offered lots of help.
Very glad that he is still willing to offer help after all these while...
I must say I have been lucky.Labels: Reflections

Sibling(s)
At the moment while I was waiting for the blogger site to load,
my mind went through what I want to write about...
I want to have a sibling.
Yes, for that moment,
I forgot that I actually have a younger brother.
I am envious of my friends who have siblings,
siblings who are on good terms with them.
They can have their siblings to play with them, board games, card games, computer games, or playful fights...
Or someone to share a good laugh with, over silly things, or tv shows, or the silly things one can do together with one's siblings.
I can hardly remember the last time I actually played with my brother, or have a good talk with him.
We used to fight when we were younger, or rather very young.
Now I wish we can have those days...Labels: Reflections

Education
What is Education really all about?
What should Education be all about?
Right now, my mind is loaded with all the thoughts of how I am to go about finishing all the assignments and reports.
I can say for sure that right now, 12mn, there are still numerous number of people whom I know working on their report that is due today.
A total different kind of demand from Primary and Secondary School days.
Those days require you to mug... all you have to do is to do your TYS and memorise equations and facts.
But we were relatively happy.
I think I was happy.
I can still have true laughters with my friends.
At least we were not loaded with pile of assignments and reports to complete during festive seasons.
We were given our due holidays, to recharge.
I don't understand why schooling has seem to become such a chore for me.
I used to enjoy schooling.
I managed my school work well.
I had fun with my friends.
But right now, I have no life at all.
I don't see why a module that doesn't hold much credit give us assignments that take up so much effort and time.
Never mind if we can understand what we are suppose to do after spending all the time and effort.
But that's not the case.
All these unnecessary assignments that I personally feel doesn't value add much but cause all the undue stress should be reviewed.
Surely there are other ways to impart the same values without having us to go through all those tedious, unfruitful, uncertain processes.
It's good to engage students in a somewhat major project.
To allow us to take charge.
But why is it that the school will overlook the time factor?
Yes, we should be aware of it, but we're still kids after all... we need time to play.
Yes, we are young, we can take it physically and probably, mentally. But we are still humans.'
You didn't help, but made matters worse by cutting short the time we have to produce the work you expected.
It's not fair at all. Though you may say the world is never fair.
But what about the students from the other sem?
They have an entire sem to work on their report! AN ENTIRE SEM!
The thought of it just get me fuming mad.
What is these all about?
Making students so sick and tired of studying.
So what if I am a third year student?
I don't deserve some good rest?
I don't deserve to celebrate Christmas and New Year properly?
I don't deserve to start the year feeling all positive and fully re-charged to face the challenges the new year is going to bring?
Do I not deserve to enjoy schooling?
WHAT THE H*LL!
I just feel like skipping school the entire week just to rest, to have fun, although school is just starting tomorrow... in fact today.
I doubt this coming CNY will be good.
But heck, I'm going to skip school and have a good time.
Feeling so p*ssed.Labels: Feelings, Reflections

2008-2009
Happy New Year.
Year 2008, at the age of 20.
One of the most happening year of my life.
Spent 4 months in foreign land, with a friend.
Learnt to be independent, to be tolerant towards others, learnt to accept others for who they are.
Ireland days seem like a dream.
Rome days were romantic, too romantic to be true.
London days were quite an eye-opener for infrastructures.
I have forgotten how it feels like to live in a place filled with people with golden hair and coloured eyes.
Days back in S'pore - whirlpool.
Lots of sweetness accompanied with bitterness.
Finally get a taste of how falling in love with someone feels like.
I got the bad end of it though... when most people started off with the sweet end.
Things are good now.
I hope they will remain good or even get better.
I'm trying my best.
But I don't want to be greedy.
Just let things be good.
I'd be more than happy...
I just wish that we'd be happy...
Holding on to the future that we can have together.
So many things happen.
I 'lost' a very good friend to UCLA, but I also found a wonderful friend who has been there all along despite my absence for 4 months.
Dearest Valerie,
as you're not around this year, I've even stopped sending Christmas cards.
I have no one to call to grumble about everything or someone to talk about our good old Secondary school days.
Dearest Felicia,
thanks for always being around... I guess I don't have to say much. You know how important you are to me.
I ended my year 2008 by visiting a patient during the day,
feeling miserable and lonely with tears welling.
Went to Orchard HMV at 10pm to collect Lee Hom's CD.
Had Mac's Chocolate Mc Flurry.
Waited for quite sometime for the bus to get home.
Sat in front of my desktop as 2008 slip past allowing the entry of 2009, talking to Felicia.
Thank you for calling.
It's just a call, but it made me happy.
Eve Tan,
thanks for keeping your promise...
Can't really make any solid resolution for 2009.
Ending my Poly life soon, if everything goes well.
Still at a loss at where to head to after that apart from wanting to get into a Uni.
I just wish things will stay good for us.
That I'll always have my dear friends.
I want to be a happy person...
Have ended the year with too much tears already.
Please make me happy...
2009 won't be as eventful as 2008 I suppose...
I just hope it'll be a safe and relatively happy year for everyone.Labels: Dedications, Reflections
