catching up with friends back aboard...

feels much different, as if we've all grown up. moved on..led a better life i guess? things changes, new ties made and some drifted apart. it felt reassuring that everyone is safe and sound. studying, holidaying and experiencing the global community. felt familiar once again to have our usually supper meetings..it's been a year since we've done that! i guess friendship as such has taken on another level whereby distance does changes the amount of commitment towards friendship...and time will change feelings towards each other

anyway, i've more or less short listed 2 places that i'll be going for my grad trip. i've decided to skip going overseas during the dec break to concentrate on my fyp and save up for my grad trip. besides i've got a free batam trip to boast, so effectively i'm having a holiday trip already! wahaha! i need to settle things soon so i can move on quickly when sems 2 kicks in. oh yah! the 2 places are namely United States or China. Whether i can find a friend to accompany me along this journey is one thing. i guess i've pretty much learnt how to be independent, so much so that travelling alone isnt a big fear afterall. jetstar is having this ticket promo to HK which is $67! travel period from 1feb to 31 aug which lies in between my grad trip. shall i fly to HK first, then take a domestic flight to mainland china? i'll save alot on transportation fee! decisions! decisions!

*new updates! oh dear..the promotion has ended coz i was thinking of booking a ticket for myself on my birthday! haha..such impulse! so gone are the plans for a trip to HK!

p/s: i'm typing this entry coz i'm so sick of studying...

"A promise is a transaction between two or more persons whereby the first person undertakes in the future to render some service, gift or assurance to the others or devotes something valuable now and here to his use."

promises are nice thing to be heard..it's like an ideal situation created by both parties..but how often they can be kept. especially so for promises that need to withstand a long time frame. as change is the only constant, how can one ensure that promises will still hold and never been wiped off due to changes in the environment. very often reasons are given to explain the broken agreement but those are just excuses. can there be a form of insurance against broken promises...how much are you willing to trust this promise, how much are you willing to give up or sacrifice to hold on to this promise? it requires lots of commitment, effort and sacrifices to make everything work out..for that i still remain very skeptical and questionable about a promise...

mundane exam life
okay...once again it's back to boring old life of waking up early..then going to school to mug. lunch and dinner in between, wait for library to close. boring life..working in between does spice things up abit. celebrated yf's bday in between this week and worked too... actually nothing fanciful or exciting has happened. somehow, my friends think that my life is really jam packed with activities. however, compared to what i usually have..this period is considered the 'dull period'. haha...i can't wait for exams to end! though there's a pending fyp to clear. arg!

calling out to all my good friends..anyone wanna catch 花木兰 with me? i'm a mulan fan even though i don't really like the mulan actors in this upcoming film. i guess i just like the mulan story..speaks much of a girl going to war, it's so exciting! haha..i know i'm crazy over here but it speaks much of a capabilities of what woman can do. till now i have no idea whether this whole mulan story is real or fictitious, my guess is fake! nevertheless, it sort of inspired me when i was very much younger. girls are very strong creatures afterall... i remembering reading through the mulan story on the chinese textbook over and over again. thinking of it now does make me think that i was so silly! anyone anyone?

walking down the same path..

walking down the same path and yet having a different feeling

the oh so familiar route that was filled with memories...be it good or bad

buildings remained the same but people has changed

those memories of yesterday still lingers and follows..

however walking down the same path again, those thoughts has resurfaced...

the memories were imprinted so deeply that it's hard to erase..

they felt so different,

i cant figure whether it's a different kind of good or different kind of bad..it's just bittersweet

walking down the same path again..forward and ahead

this explains my happiness! btw...my exam isnt over then..but i don't care!

i'm thankful...

i guess when there's nice people around you..life seems to go around easier.

for now..

i'm thankful for good engine friends whom i can have lunch with

i'm thankful for after-school friends whom i can have dinner with

i'm thankful for people who are willing to hear me out whenever i complain or comment

i'm thankful that my projects are all over and that i have more time to study for my exam and do my fyp...

i'm thankful for having a fun sis to entertain me when i reach home

i'm thankful for being able to have a balanced life with regards to work and play

i'm a happy girl! and i wish for happiness to everyone around me!

i've got lots to blog about but totally lack of time! pardon me for this random and short entry! will be back soon!

group dynamics

this semester, i've got to realised that being in a good group do affect greatly your mood, your grades and more importantly your performance. i guess i've been too pampered to take everything for granted such that when i encounter a sucky group, i can't accept it.

i'm thankful for the other 2 wonderful groups that i belong to...they've bought me such joy and pleasure. firstly, my design group member, people whom i've spent time with for the past 3 semester. travelling in europe together, mahjong-ing and tze-cha-ing together, staying up in school till late night trying to fix up our robot..they're really a bunch of fun people to be with and ppl who go through thick and thin.

i'm also 'lucky' to have 1 particularly lousy group, with incompetent group member. people that who cant even explain what they've done up for their slides. such that i have to do everything fo them..tell them off. it was madness. i just couldnt accept this great contrast.

i've learnt the harsh reality of dealing with different kinds of people. anyway, it's over already. this sems, i've learnt more on knowledge of people rather than factual knowledge...

counting my blessings!

friday was a good day. surprisingly won the best presentation, watched a nice movie and had a good box of choc. what more can i ask for..i'm a happy girl.

work on saturday was fun too. i'm so gonna try to zovb some time again soon..in case you guys are wondering what's zovb, peektures below. i was so dizzy after being rolled down the gentle slope. oh yah! i so wanna go marina barrage to fly kites and probably have a picnic too!

here am i writing this post cause i'm unable to sleep. i guess i'm probably still fuming mad about lousy groupmates that i've had. i'm supposed to get over it after lamenting to the whole world how incompetent & lousy they are, i subconsciously havent got over it! humph! despite listening to calming music didn't cool me much further. my stomach is growling for food now, i guess the best treatment would be a big scoop of ice cream to cool me down. meanwhile, writing this post is supposedly to help me cool down as well. ranting....

i'm not going to wake up in time tomorrow! please think of ways to keep me awake tomorrow k? i'm sure there're lots of people who can entertain me well enough. sidenotes! my friend from odac is getting married soon! (you're the first to go off! hehe!) her bf proposed to her recently. i saw her wedding ring as it was posted on fb..i'm so happy for her! =)

was listening to her songs and it reminded me of someone....

happiness doubles, saddness doubles too..

just when you thought you've got it..it leaves you...

wishes never come true...
