recalling days when sch is in the east. 30 to 50 min of travelling on buses. then, it used to be luxury. to sit, stone and leave the mind to wander staring out of the windows aimlessly. catching the same few scenes daily, yet i enjoyed it. cos studies would be out of my mind.

recalling the days when i have bus buddies. to chat and laugh with me on the way home, no matter how short it is. suddenly i realize i miss it. whether to sit quietly or to have company. long bus journeys have reduced significantly.

can't explain my joyous mood today. decided to justify it as another happy day :) sure, i believe in a good start to a day is important. but i also believe that for every day that didn't start well, there will always be another occassion in that day to make up for it. an optimist isn't it. *smilez*

lots of work to clear....BUT cny coming! goodies streaming in! concluded: *smilez smilez* *busy busy* BUT *happy happy* to all reading, enjoy your day too! (jus a random greeting)

tried. really did.

yet human will always fail to look beyond their own circumstances and knowledge. no matter wat was bothering me, it has all gone into this entry and forgotton.

humans have wants and desires. so do i. yet knowing that i m surrounded by 4 capable guys and a lady in my life right now is probably a blessing that will alone shadow off all my wants and desires. each are capable in their unique way. kudos to my 2 bros. without u all, i really donno how to get things going smoothly. without u all, even the simplest things would not be achieved cos of such an inefficient sis esp IT related stuff. to the 5 figures in my life, each i love and respect deeply. a simple call from the faraway land breeds familarity. simple gestures to know i have been doted upon.

life isn't about dwelling upon the unhappiness but to concentrate on the blessings :)

Dear Ms chia,
here is a time for reflections and recollections.

Firstly, anyone going to take AB214 do take note of a tutor, ms...s, esp if one prefers to leave with nice memories of the course. haha perhaps could consider changing class. haha seems like 'mean' would suit her.
1) made us stood, even in awkward silence in front of the class under taped conditions when one has already finished the presentation, in order to obtain a FULL 3 min when it was supposed to be about 3 min.
2) relatively mean in her choice of words and leave no space for one to hide
3) made a girl typed out her paragraph during lessons when she didn't specify it has to be
4) 'class is this 3 lines or a paragraph?' when a guy submitted 3 lines worth of paragraph. wah she is so sarcastic! 4 lessons only and so many issues have cropped up. all the best to you, ms chia...

secondly, this sem, all i wanna achieve are 2 things and that is all. one of them is study hard. really concentrate and study hard.

thirdly, goodbye to law of information technology. though it doesn't sound appealing, it was probably the most interesting subject of all those i would be taking this sem. nonetheless, it is a time to bid farewell with it to concentrate on being an accounting student. i promise, if i ever had the chance again, i would take this module again and complete it. :)

a day out in nature. scrupture of passing of knowledge.
catuses. many many and different types. first time see so big ones in huge quantities, hence naturally amazed.
random shots.

flowers. bright and colourful flowers. :)

man made waterfall. memories flooded back...

haha jus thought it looks artistic. i like :)

Fourthly, thank you. Thank you for everything u have done. thank you for making me feel so comfortable ard you. thank you for being there and letting me forget about everything else that bothers me. thank you for your companion, your listening ear, your patience and your doting. lastly, thank you for making me happy not once, but almost whenever i m with you :)

yours sincerely,

heart and brain :)

if u are wondering why i m so busy mugging everyday...haiz it's all just for a day out for fun every week. but that alone is almost all i can spare to slack looking at my readings etc...

East Coast park
a place where lots of memories hold. from sec sch to jc. almost every part holds memories. be if with my squaddies collecting sand, be it sitting on the beach with xinyi, be it learning cycling n rollerblading with squadies and jc frenz, be it tk cross-country, be it vj cross-country, be it vj orientation, be it chalet, be it macDonalds, be it Komala, be it ANW(in the past) etc etc...memories came flooding back as fresh as it just happened yesterday. i didn't realize how much memories it hold till once again i stepped upon the beach, marvelling over the calming waters. so familar yet different. yes i like east coast park, maybe cos it was where lots of memories are.
a new memory has been added. kite flying :) our kite flying :)
nice to see the kite soaring in the sky. where it is free to roam...

terminal 3 departure hall. thought it was really nicely lit. bright and spacious :)

Changi Airport. The pride of Singaporeans.

Airport, been there many times yet this time round, it was the only time i went with the intention of just walking ard. haah a man-made struture that i like.

was just chatting with frenz. chatted from how to do well to life issues such as money, cars and condos. haha don't start thinking we are a bunch of materialistic girls, but rather each of us are probably just evaluating the possibilty of owning them. lolz. we concluded: ladies who are not married by a certain age wld be able to live life comfortably owning these items. den we weigh between marriage or not. each has their own views. one thing i learnt from the end of the conversation was there will always be better ppl ard us, yet it is about learning to be contented with the person beside you :) meaningful.

had another chat with a guy and was so amazed by how motivated he is of graduating in 2.5 yrs. impressed was an understatement. wow he packed his timetable with 6.5 subjects last sem. how not to be impressed by him. intellectual guy with insights which i learnt quite a lot from him. haha plus a couple of werid sms by an ex tutorial fren learnt 280 refers to taxi...lol but his intellectual too high for me, cos i only fully understood it 24 hrs later...lolz...okayz had lots of interesting conversations and learnt a lot over the last few days :)

relationships.

there are so many forms ard us. prob the closest and strongest of all belongs to family. As young individuals, we are each seeking for a companion from the world, someone to join us as family. someone to walk us through the passage of life. through angers, joys and sorrows. even within strongest ties, tiffs occur. yet it is only through experiences and differences that both grow and enjoy one another's company. no one relationship is perfect where no troubles are faced, however, much depend on both to work things out tgt. everything may seem perfect on the surface, yet no one knows wat the 2 are facing...some say some don't. i belong to the catagory of don'ts. learning to speak up esp to those closest to me but it's afterall still in the learning process.

a reflective post after seeing 2 acquaintances part through their blogs. though not explicitly said, somehow it can be implied. a couple who have been tgt for yrs, a couple whom many envy. the story behind each love story is different and no one can tell the future. witnessed a lot of breakups or get tgts in the recent years...maybe cos this is the time where circumstances are changing for many. let's not dwell or worry about what the future holds but to enjoy the present. at least i know i can look back and say: i enjoy my time then, so even if time could be turned back, i would not change a single thing. for that, i'll smile everyday. no problem is a problem unless we perceive it as one :) if perceived, look for solutions instead of being gloomy upon them. *smilez* and tgt let's make the best of today and be happy!

handicrafts attempted during the holiz...bunch and bunch of roses...:)
where some bunches landed...:) on the hands of beautiful fingers. too bad i only have 1 rose left for myself. haha the rest were all distributed away...those who didn't get, sorry ya...there wasn't enough for everyone...cos a tree got all the privilage access to most.

an attempt at cooking. with a help from a chef! okayz it looks like a proper nice meal...*smilez*

ostrich meat. spelled correctly? tastes a little like pork, a little like beef. too bad all i was thinking of at that time was the ostrich i saw in a zoo 1 mth ago, hence there was really no appetite while eating it. otherwise the whole dinner was excellent! esp the chocolate frondue and other sinful delights!! *smilez* woah thinking back it is only once in a really long while will i get to eat such buffets...haha but that is more than enough...

a makeshift balloon animal farm! thought it looks nice so captured an image of it...:)

finally my holiz ended with an early birthday celebration for merd! the full sss! been a long time since we are all tgt...hope u liked the mini celebration, the gifts, the balloon and the surprises for the day! a nice catchup session.

complied 4 different days of activities into 1 blog entry. out with bao jia zhu, cooking attempt, cafe2000 and ??? cafe with sss. overall, the holiz has been excellent! the company, the activities etc...a slight pity wasn't being able to meet up with squaddies and my ex tutorial classmates due to the packed schedule esp nadz, xinyi and wanli! missing u gers, esp nadz!

first week of sch.

2 days into sch and i was doing tutorial, readings and assignment. lolz looking at the readings really sigh...no wonder the rest kept saying bout lots of readings...do see more coming up. relatively tired at the end of 3 days that i dropped down and slept the moment i reached home.

life without internet is seriously sian cos lots of entertainment gone. no wonder the last few days, all i wanna do is go home to the comp. inconvenience and discomfort at using comp in sch..haha guess i have to get use to it...otherwise i'll jus end up at home more often...nth much to updates bout sch except it's time to get down studying after all the fun i had...*smilez*

01.01.08 - an unforgetable day. a day for the adventurers.
fully equiped with the backdrop of rope elements.
it didn't look as easy as it seems in the photo.

an innocently looking spiderweb. yet it was a moment of fear as i fall right into it. smacked face-on onto the unsuspecting web and somehow tangled myself in them before i could climb out of it.

a highlight! flyingfox :) had at least 4 swings across the reservoir!

another rope element :)

overall a really different experience. left the place with slightly reddish palms, slightly shaky legs and an aching body. lots of fun, lots of laughters, lots of posing :) a wonderful way to start 2008

all ended with a dinner for 04s63! second yr gathering on 0101. wow take a look at the turnout-21 ppl! almost the full class. and the no of cars that drove in that night. 6? simple dinner yet another catching up session.

2008. the start of a wonderful new yr. splendid fireworks displayed in full view. wow totally immersed in the beauty of it together with the urban landscape. an excellent start signify an excellent yr *smilez*

finally. goodbye to 2007. all the memories-happy or sad- are memorable. though a tough yr, it was a great yr of learning and growth. a happy girl embracing the new yr! :)
