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...
