went back to sch for campus discussion ytd.
waited a whole whopping 4 hrs just to get interviewed.

perception. perception. perception.
it's just what u THINK, it's not the truth!
ok, maybe not the entirety of it.
3 yrs, u dun know wad it's like!
i'd love to say otherwise and that it's not my choice
but still, i have to stick it out rite??
it's not like at this point in time, u can do anything.
for all i know, u could just flunk me and make me do it all over again!
not a chance i wanna take. just let me go ahead peacefully alrite?
that's all i ask.

i just wanna pass my SIP/MP and go on to university alr!
all i need and am waiting for is just my final transcript!
10 more wks. just hang in there.

as much as i'd love to talk back to certain ppl, gotta hold my tongue.
it's just so tiring to take all that crap, when they just dun understand.
for a dream, hold on, hang in.

silver lining. pray for me.

ah well, had been sick..
technically, i still am.
still left with one slab of antibiotics to complete.

nasty bugger coming out of the blue,
that i'm unable to meet up with lil K and his mummy =(

i'm "multi-tasking" btw FB, Sims3 and MP.
HA. this term never referred to work only. =)
YES, i'm throughly distracted.
HELP?

honestly, there's so much "ideas" and thoughts abt the proj
TOO MUCH.
my processing speed has some what become retarded.
i'll prolly just take the night.
quiet enough to think i hope.

finally got to replying the "chain mail"! Sorry everyone!
and great news!
Received my conditional offer letter frm Murdoch!
Pray for me.
That SIP and MP will be smooth, graduation not far in sight!

hello.

yes, hellooo..

I'm still pretty much alive even though i ain't really got a life rite now.
the monotonous routine of
- getting up at 5.15am
- catching the 6am train
- catching the 7am HF bus
- rushing out from UWS
- squeezing insanely with the rush hour train crowd
- trying to go to bed by 9.30 latest

AND

the same things all over again the next day.

I'm sure every one's pretty much facing the same thing for SIP.
well, at least i dun think that they'd have to work 8 days straight every other wk.
I'm diving like every other day - almost everyday.
- fighting sharks and the watchful eye of that Napoleon Wrasse every time i do vacuuming
- struggling with potato cods and groupers to remove those pesky Lil thingies on them
- getting mobbed during feeding time
- harassed by that particular Hawksbill whenever i'm down there
and plenty more.

80% of the time, i'm too tired to go online when i get home.
*****************************************************

gotten my proj title.
really excited to get started soon.
and hopefully see some desirable results at that!

*****************************************************
got back frm LITO today. (that's wad i mean by no life, i'm there doing PT on my off days)
i've sold my life to UWS/DL.
knock out.
there's a lot i wanna say about ytd's group.
nevertheless, "professionalism" has to stay. HA.
it was eventful.
*****************************************************
still, sumthing gd comes out of everything.
waking that early for work, i get to see the stars.
yes, they are visible in the singapore night sky w/o a telescope.
i get to see the sunrise and the sunset almost every single day.
that's one thing for me to look forward to. =)

u just gotta love them.

kids. toddlers.
u just gotta love them.

their randomness never fails to make ppl laugh, cry or feel so loved.
that sudden hug, that surprise peck on the cheek.
that trust they can wholly give, and only they can.

i wish i could be like that.
do away with all that rubbish, just for once.
to trust someone, and be trusted just the same.
*******************************************

there's a perk to waking at 5.30 every morning whenever i work.
i get to witness nature changing, at it's worst and best.
Dark storm clouds rolling inland, or that bright morning sun lighting up the sky.
the past few mornings, the sun has been bright, round and orange.
yes, it's the haze at work most of the time..
nevertheless, it's a sight to behold.
every day is different, so when will we learn how to appreciate?

Taking a backseat

it's often so very nice to do that once in a while.
it came as a very random thought on my way to work.
how often we find ourselves rushing and moving forward
and end up missing out on a whole lot.

taking a backseat...
lets us see the bigger picture
pretty much puts life into perspective

sometimes when we're in too deep, we can't see what's out there or around
that tunnel vision that goes on forever into the distant
***********************************************************

even the skies have extreme highs and lows
mood swings and PMS
on the HF bus, the skies stayed pretty with the bright round orange sun
on the bridge, the other side was rolling out dark clouds from the south
once the bus reached the BS, mother nature was sure angry!
but i liked it.
the strong winds tugging and pulling the trees to their sides..
i feel like i'm writing a storybook here.. lol.

ah wells, yet another day.
tata~

Love it when it rains

it's been pouring
normally, ppl feel down when it rains
but i just love the past few days

cool winds.. bright lightning
sounds of raindrops and the rush of wind
just love that feeling

but what i loved most of all
was the dawn breaking after the showers
to see the clearing of the dark clouds
giving way to the bright blue skies
sumtimes, with a tinge of pink and orange
as usual, the sunshine after the rain.
*************************************

Last exam of my entire poly life.
RTecB paper. DONE. =)
it was manageable.. just hope that it won't cost me my A.

overall, this semester has been:
- very eventful
- passed very quickly
- quite a happy time
- the last semester on campus

thankful to all who made my poly life.
friends that bring laughter and smiles.
joking and laughing at each other's silliness.
paths have crossed.
hope the connections remain.
memories. =)

IT'S THE MOMENTS THAT MAKE THE LIFE, NOT THE LIFE THAT MAKE THE MOMENTS.

listening to MJ's "You are not alone"..
no one should be.
no one will be.

Perfect Weather

it reminds me of LA.
the bright warm sun
the clear blue skies
the cooling winds
the only exception - clouds.
there weren't much of those in LA.

ytd was pretty much the same =)
great weather to be out
but i seem to always be in instead
awesome awesome time to be out with a cam though

ytd nite was beautiful too
despite the awful light pollutions of the cityscape of singapore
managed to catch a glimpse
numerous stars that seemingly barely dotting the nite sky

in future, i wanna live somewhere
that lets me see the skies as they are
to appreciate the wonders and beauty of nature
to look up at nite, and see stars lighting up the darkness
instead of street lamps
that place may be out of the way
it may be hard to get
but really, that's just all that i want.
peace.serenity.nature.
sounds like NZ to me. LOL
