Almost there.

In 20 19.2 hours, you will stop hearing me complain about how I hate school and all of its projects and assignments. I look forward to the end of tomorrow's paper - my final university term examination. There's so much to say but I can seem to get my thoughts sorted out at this particular moment.

So, marking this time and date in my calender for the rest of my life.. By 23rd April 2012, 7pm, I am free. Free from school, that is!!!

Don't get me wrong because I share a love-hate relationship with school. Sometimes hate but mostly love. I know I express hate a lot more often than love.. but this is really normal.

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

 
What I really want to say is that I cannot wait to see how my life will proceed with all the uncertainties and challenges ahead. Life's not going to be a bed of roses and I know the vicious cycles of "i wish", "i regret", "i hate" will emerge some day.. but for now I really want to feed my curious mind and unleash the fiery desire to achieve and to challenge the odds.

Okokokok anyway, 4 years onward and I am still capable of writing a blog post. so, HEY SCHOOL DIDN'T KILL ME!!!!! :D Starting from tomorrow, I can stop telling myself "I will survive... I will survive...". Tomorrow, I'll scream "__   ________"! (this has to wait till I'm done with my final paper.)

Alright i really cannot wait to post pictures of so many other things!!! To end this wordy post, here's a picture.......... of more words.  tsk tsk!

WHAT WHOLESOMENESS.

This is from the last page of my course pack of my most hated, most incomprehensible, most demoralizing module. Also my last paper in my university life. what a fantastic way to end my 4 years. Unforgettable -.- If I am allowed to give a truthful answer, I don't want nor need to know anything in this course book. Ever!? But I did it anyway. Human forced to comply to our environments.
Oh well the irony... 

But yes think about it, what is it that you really want and need in life? 
STUDY HARD PLAY HARD THE DAY IS COMING!!!! BE BACK HAPPIER AND WITH MORE COLOURS!!!!

Week 14 is (not) a study week.

All these lies.. This week is torture so I shall go to bed now.

It's 3ish, slightly earlier than my usual 4am or later! But before that, I need to say.. I NEED A GRILL AND A PANINI PRESS IN MY LIFE. Now or at a later part of my life. Just to make sure that I remember...

Good night and good week! 12 more freaky days.

Hangin' on!

Last day of school

5th April 2012
8.08am 

It's the last day of school. I'm writing this because I want to remember this moment. It's the last "last day of school" that I'm going to say. For the past 19 years, I've had many "last day of school" moments. But it's different today because it really is the last.

I've been waiting eagerly for the arrival of this day. This seemingly insignificant moment which turned out to be a great emotional hurdle for me to cross. Like every other week, Tracy asked me this morning "Dear want coffee later?" I never said "yes" because I don't always do coffees. But, I always appreciated that thought. It's the warm and fuzzy feeling I get every time we have a morning class together. We've been friends for so many years now... Almost 4 years.. We've seen the inside and out of each other, the pretty and the ugly. Even through space and time, our friendship remains solid. Thank God. Anyway yes, I said "yes" to a morning beverage today. I needed to savor the last of whatever's left. Time flies and I know I always say this.. But time really did fly by. There aren't many more days for me to live, love and laugh like a student.

As today marks the last day of school for me.. From the life of being in a university, to a life of being in the university of life. Surreal indeed. I don't recall how I've coped with transitions in life. The gathering of people, the bond between people and finally the parting. Goodbyes are so hard to do. Whoever said they're easy are heartless or have a heart made of stone. My heart is jelly, jello, konnyaku.

I will solemnly miss this. Whatever things and people that made up my university life in the past 4 years.. Not even going to leave out on the amount of complaining I did over the years. They're quite a heap, I must say. But these things, I'll truly miss.

It's the last morning class of my life (and I am late). I'm standing in the MRT carriage wondering what is the right kind of emotion I should be having. Blank. Blank and more blanks. I feel like crying.

People are ironic. Why do we never hold on to what we have, only to realize how much we've missed when things are lost? Why do people do regrets?

I'm currently lost for words yet I actually have a lot to say. There are a lot of photos that I want to take, and a lot of memories that I want to keep.

Today's the "last time" for me to act cool in my student gear (of shorts, earphones, laptop and whatever I like). I can't quite capture emotions. But before I alight at City Hall for the "last time", I will end with an entire bunch of gratitude. No matter how much I hated it, this made up a significant part of me. Thank you, school.

It's exactly 8.30am now.
Yes, I am late.


P.S. In case you're wondering, last day really isn't quite the "last day" since I still have 2 oustanding reports, 1 presentation, 1 out-of-nowhere class to attend and 2 written examinations. OH BOTHER :(

just keep swimming.

 

I made my own SOAP!

Yes I did! That was more than one month ago.. it's part of my birthday celebration with my world's most boring cat (but also my favourite one). I've been meaning to put up the pictures yet I can't find the time to :( wish I had 48hours a day so that I could do so :( 

This week has got to be my most insane week this semester.. just hoping that it will not get any worse than this. School woes again! Hanging on to the last few weeks. Can't believe March just marched off like that!! The thought of school coming to a complete end excites me. Yet it unknowingly throws me down memory lane, reminding me of how 4 years of university have just zoomed by. The friends, the everything. 

Well, an *emo post can wait.

Right now I'll need some sleep for my meeting later in school (on a Sunday yet again). Got to make this a Sunday to remember since I won't have many Sundays left to spend in school. For this, I am so glad.

I'll be back soon when I get bits of my life returned to me... for now it's just gonna be me & my projects. Ready to conquer the world!

again..

Hello hello!!!! :)

Gosh, I've been away from this blog for quite sometime and I'm dying to make updates :( I even attempted to write a blogpost in my phone (about the lousy "korean bbq" mentioned in the previous post -.-) while in the train on my way home from school. Good attempt in starting, writing but i can't seem to get to the end yet :(

School's been consuming me, inside and out. Certainly taking up a lot of my time..I can't do anything about that since I am suppose to be a full-time student anyway. I cannot wait to get out of it. School's been a complete whirlwind and several things are just making me feel so useless. Think, grades. Sounds like the world's most trivial thing to even be worried about. It's so stupid to even say that grades are affecting how I feel.. This shall pass. Not too much about the grades now so long I continue to do my best. NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

I'm getting boring with all that talk about school so I'm going to squeeze out the many many posts and pictures which are in my head and laptop but never in the blog -.- very very soon!

just needed to know that I am still alive… phew. and perhaps a wee bit of activity on Instagram and twitter keep me sane. Thank God for the social media tidbits. :)

Time to get some rest before I head down tomorrow to Orchard to….
COUNT, TIME AND OBSERVE TAXIS. IN TOWN. ON A SUNDAY EVENING.
WHAT IN THE WORLD?!!??!?!

(TELL ME AGAIN WHY SCHOOL IS NOT VALUE ADDING  95% OF THE TIME)

Sigh!
5 more weeks of school and I AM DONE.

TIll then,
happy Sunday!!!!! Breatheeeeeeee everyone :)

Skype entertains.

I am now tuned in to Skype listening to my friend(s) read their scripts for a presentation on Warehouse Management System (WMS). WMS is an interesting topic but it fails to interest me. Can't believe that I'm already into the 4th week of school.. Final year, final semester. Time truly truly flies...

Here I am working with a group of boys which I.. 1. Know, 2. Never seen and heard of, 3. Seen and heard but never spoken to. This team was formed based on a lottery?!?! Really, lottery!? YEAR 4 AND WE STILL NEED TO DO THIS SORT OF NONSENSE? -.- Complaints aside, it was nonetheless a great opportunity to meet new people :)


Being on Skype now reminds me of the very few but crazy times I had over Skype while I was away from home. I have a habit of taking screenshots of anything and everything so I've got several of these from Skype conversations.. Since I don't have much time to post all of those now, I'll post my favourite!

This is me at the bottom left corner! This screenshot was taken on 12th November 2011 when I just returned to Sweden from my trip to London and Bath. There I was showing off my new buys to my sisters - I'm fully decked in cheap (and surprisingly good!!) winter wear from Primark*. That's a SUPER thick snood which gives me 毛 in my mouth ALL THE TIME and a beanie with long ear flaps, tassels and a cute fuzzy ball on top.

Okay anyway!!! Back to me and my mum. Halfway through our Skype conversation, my sister made my mum stand in front of the webcam because.. "三姐, you and mummy wearing the same things!!!" HHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH my mum honestly buys the funniest things. She said the thing wrapping her head helps in maintaining some sort of ionic balance.... Hmmmmm. It's damn cute anyway! My mum, the screenshot, her being shy and hiding behind her bolster because I told her I needed to take a screenshot of this. Everything about this is just so cute :)

Picture of the year 2011.

Alright, need to sort out the pile of assignments waiting to be completed........... I share a love-hate relationship with school.


*Primark is a clothing retailer selling items at mega pocket-friendly prices! People shop like everything's free there. No one ever ever ever leaves Primark empty-handed. Not lying! In case you're wondering how pocket-friendly is pocket-friendly, I got the snood for only 4 pounds (about 8SGD) and saw the exact piece retailing in H&M at 19 euros (if I remember correctly). That's 33 vs 8 SGD!?!?!?!?! Ok, even if I remembered wrongly, the one at H&M's at least 10 euros, so that is still 17.5 vs 8 SGD ?!?!?!?! There, I've made my point.
