salvation!

finally, the semester came to an end when dr khan said,' Put down all your pens!' at 7pm sharp today. though this 3months didn't seem very long to me. it wasn't very long ago that i went for oweek and started school. maybe it was the general pace of life in uni. rushing to do this, hurrying to complete that...that time just flew past. and in no time, exams were here and the end of term came around.

i can't say i accomplished alot academically wise this sem. more like a warm-up sem after my dormant brain went into hibernation during the 2 years of NS. i did my best, and i can say that whatever results come along, i got it with hard work.

made alot of new frens, the EE gang, andrew, reason, yan, rachel, jason etc etc...CSP gang, edwin, aaron, johanan, songhoe etc...saw lots of 'old' frens from army and JC...new friendships forged and old friendships revived.

of course, not forgetting the special someone=). for a period, i wondered what would have happened if i hadn't joined orientation, hadn't met you...the work of fate, as always, is intriguing. somehow, somewhere, the forces above decided that i should meet you, fall in love, and make me the happiest guy around. thank you, for being there. because you complete me.=)

and my decision to join a CCA i was truly interested in was well justified, i think. met friends, who, like me, have a strong interest in singing. and distracting me from the (very) mundane ritual of tutorials and lectures. what's the fun in uni if your sole purpose is to mug hard and get your degree? you have to enjoy life, while at the same time, putting in the effort to get your degree.

7 semesters to go, before i leave the realm of education and delve into the workforce. follow the tried and tested formula. maybe i'll eventually fulfill my ambition to be a doctor, maybe not. it has and will always be my ambition to be one, but reality is cruel. and often more cruel to me than others. that's why i treasure everything that i have now. i realise, i always seem to take the hard way, rather than the path more often trodden. to realise things the hard way, to do things the hard way, runs you through the mill and make you stronger, but it does make you weary. weary of what else is to come, what else can be thrown at me.

and i can only hope everything is smooth-sailing from now on.

sounds emo? i'm not. really. just some reflections and things to muse over.

as i was discussing with friends tonight my plans for the hols and next sem, i find, maybe i'm planning too far ahead. one step at a time, because things tend not to turn out the way you expect them to. murphy's law. i think, i shall wait for my sem 1 cap before deciding on what to do next sem. i plan, but i prepare for the worst.

i have lots of things to look forward to this month, many of which include my special one=). with her, everything just seems brighter and i think more optimistically. perhaps, she is the reason i forge on...

my hand is always there, for whenever you wish to hold it. for the warmth of your hand, warms my heart...

planning ahead...

Spent the past few days mugging. haiz. whatever the result of the exams, i can say i tried my bestest already. when a chim paper comes along and kills everyone, it actually makes you wonder what's the point of studying. but we still have to try right? to me, it's better knowing you made an effort trying then to die knowing you deserved it. feels way better. come 22nd Dec, whatever the university throws at me, at least i can say i did try my best.

and that's what matters.

3 days 3 papers. when just about everyone else has 1 paper left. either that or in holiday mood already. can't wait for this to be over. but i have this perennial ability to fall sick immediately after major exams. hopefully not this time round. i have lots of things to accomplish, like downloading new games into my (mouldy) psp, hang out with the veejay gang, plan for emerge concert next year. and of course, spending time with my special one =)

so all signs point to me NOT getting a job during this less than a month hols. still wondering if i should. if i do, i'll rather go back property tax and pick up calls, since i can take flexi-leave and still earn my keep.=P

hmm. planning for next sem. will probably overload if my cap this sem is good enough. 4 core + eg1413 and SS i think? think its the only sem where it makes sense to overload, because sem 3 onwards i'll be really really busy. and next sem, i'll be juggling 6 mods with voices stuff. well done. i'll give it more thought and decide before school starts next sem.

the roof-top feels different when it's you i'm with. before, i have always appreciated the view alone. now...i have you=)
