~Come away with me~

Come away with me.

Got to know a couple of acquaintances whom reinforced my wants.
This time round i am trying real hard to make it on my own, if you can see.
It's always good to have company but when time comes for the unavoidable to happen, i guess we too, can manage it alone. (Remember it is always enough to be taken care of by myself)

Seriously, dreams are pretty much redundant if you can already foresee what you will become in 10, or 20 years time, give or take a couple of scenarios. We will all graduate from youth, get stuck in the rat race of humanity till the society gives you a break (prolly 5 years before you close your eyes for the final time) while in the meantime holding on tightly to the illusions we conjure up of the prettier tomorrows. For some, they climb up the right ladder to success which guarantees them a one-way ticket to the pot of gold at the other end of the rainbow while others climb up other ladders all the same BUT end sliding down the snake's tail to the bottom and have to make do with whatever else.

Seriously, i dont want to live to 30 and start looking back and regretting what have i NOT done the things i wanted to do when i can. I want to step out to the working world in future knowing that i've tried my very best. I want to be able to share my experiences with others if possible, inspiring them to do what they want if it's within their means. A degree CAN BE a passport to a great career. But attitude takes you to the top. I don't want to recall my education as a series of mugging feat after another, attempting to break my previous semester GPA with more As and lesser Bs and Cs. I want to be able to reminisce about a million other things like Reaction, FOP activities, sports, recre stuff, competitions, carnivals, seminars, slacking in the library beside a bunch of people who were mugging, getting chided by the fierce and unfriendly lab tech, and mugging of course, beside many others like SEP, WAT,hall etc..

Humans do change you know. To an unimaginable extent. Maybe it's all inborn but a tap on the right nock sets you going. The world is as big as you think it is.

Happy 18th Birthday Gek!

Though i'm more fortunate in the sense that i got to celebrate my 18th bdae on board superstar Virgo with hundreds of others in the middle of nowhere, you get to do it at where i think is the place closest to heart- home..

That brought back memories of the day when i fully apprehend the meaning behind the phrase 'The Earth is round.' Missed the boundless sight in front of your very eyes that seemingly extends into infinity... Almost forgotten how it is to feel the kind of emotions that make me willing and contented to just die in the middle of nowhere. Missed the only place where no matter which direction i am facing, i can see the magical moments where heaven and sea joined ad infinitum.. It's the kinda setting you'll never get in Singapore. Then again, there's pretty much nothing much we get from Singapore less some million ongoing experiments and projects..

So:
Can i request for a trip to Barcelona, Spain for my 21st birthday?

To hell with rules and schedules. How i wish i could dump my planner!

Things aint really going to what i PLANNED. and i'm on the verge of pulling out my hair, burning up my notes- all on the first day of term break. Like thanks.

I have yet to start on SCM, presentation & work due 1st day after the break. Have yet to revise for BI, test on tues. GEK1507 discussion on tues and i barely have an idea what the whole module is about, lest the proj discussion. Fri will be a day of hell, as usual, with FNA presentation (ya, haven do i know). Sat is the mid-term exam! and guess what, i have alr started, AS IF. what a surprise.

okay. cheers to a good term week for slacker J. Shall go oil my gears to prepare for engine start.

TGIF.

Kalau anda bertanya apa kabar saya, saya akan membelas baik-baik saja.

Term break is finally here. But that doesn't signifies the need to call for a celebration karena saya harus pergi ke sekolas. sianz.

My friend was asking "anda besok akhir minggu ada acara apa?" and the first thing that ran through my mind was:

"Saya mau tidur.." then i added "sampai siang atau sore." Dia juga mau tidur. lolx..

Teman kuliah berkata "mau membuat PR." I almost fainted. No wonder Bu Indri was saying orangnya mahasiswa ada baik. ya betul. saya menggendangi dengan ibu. tetapi saya kurang baik. maaf, ada tidak baik.

Besok malam saya punya pesta ulang tahun di warung, di dekat taman dan rumah. haizz. ulang tahun saya tanggal delapan puluh Oktober. cepat-cepat. -_-

Aiyo. Sekarang jam empat kurang dua puluh - terlambat!! Saya pergi ke tidur sekarang. Sampai betemu orang!!

As far as i know, ball games are just not my type of sports. I don't see the point of serving to get the ball away from you, or trying hard to get the ball so as to get it away from you..

The heavenly acute neck strain you get the following day after shooting hoops or looking at the sky for too long makes me wonder how some can do it daily without complain and still doesn't look as if their necks are hinged.

Not to mention the possible backache and knee injuries you might get from constance bending to pick up balls or lunching to retrieve them.. Oh, and don't forget the risk of getting hit on the head, in the face, or any part of your body for that matter..

Despite my reservations on ball games (see above), i think i am beginning to like netball. The ballgame that seems so difficult to get a nice shot through and the game in which the courts are almost always empty.

Helping hands, touching lives is back!

HELPING HANDS, TOUCHING LIVES fund from Singtel is back!! The fourth year running?! and hopefully for ever..

Cut out the page from Today newspapers (from last week) to fold into hearts and drop the hearts off at any post boxes. Singtel will donate $1 for every heart collected. Thanks~

A happy addition to the hanger in my room. The medal with a lionhead in the middle is the evidence of ytd's netball sports carnival victory. like yeah!

PLAYER

Sports carnival in school today. I made an effort to go down earlier for gym before heading to the courts..

As usual, ODIN outperformed others in netball.. But YQ got injured.. i am terrified of old injuries, not that i have any.. but it's a fact that once u sprained/ hurt any joints, a second time is pretty much guaranteed.. and i dont think my tolerance level suffice for repeated injuries.. lolx..

Been ages since i last exercise... Makes the waking up early on a Saturday turmoil worthwhile..

Blind spots

We do not know certain things about ourselves because God wants us to truly be ourselves around others. That is why others know a part of us that we don't even know exist

Somebody must have moved that finish line

[Somebody must have moved that finish line]

I like this one liner. I like how it expresses exasperation and helplessness.

Mindful that even when you crossed the line, there is always another line somewhere else.

There is no way you'll know whether you reached it finally simply because there is no end to a line, unless you stop drawing...

"Please don't get offended. When i first saw you, i thought you are from Engine."

I swear i could have died laughing.

Omong-omong dengan teman.
i totally agree. I don't look like i'm from biz..

My bro was asking why i dress like i do for school and he too commented tat i look like i'm from Engine. Like what he said, 'business girls dress up for school.' and putting on makeup is 'normal.' So sorry to say, i belong to the minority.

'Not that it is bad. just different.' and i take that as a compliment.
So sorry for not having good dress sense and not taking the trouble to sacrifice sleep for beauty (no pun intended). lolx.

My favourite season is here. the RAINY season. Seriously, i enjoy the weather so much that i didnt sleep throughout the journey to school, just so i can feel the wind in my face and keep that uplifted mood on a high.

Sometimes, i myself think that i'm a little loony. Then again, the article on RealAge did advise us to focus on the little things in life that make you smile because focusing on your happiness will protect your emotional well-being and physical health. Like wow. lolx

DREAMER~

My current list of wants..
1) Master Bahasa Indonesia for simple communication
2) Get into hall next semester
3) Apply for SEP for senior year sem 1
4) Apply for work & travel in USA for the holiday before acad yr 08/09
5) Cambodia heartbeat or maybe Myanmar prog
6) Enjoy all my DSC modules
7) CCA

Let's just say it's always good to think far and dream a LITTLE..

Sliding... drifting, drifting..

Rainy season. Love YET hate it. I guess Christmas will come 3 months earlier this year coz of the increase number of Rudolphs around.. and i'm indifferent to the medicine. like what's new and what helps?

School has been far from perfect less my 3D timetable, but since when is anything ever close to that? Still in lala land waiting for someone to give me a wake up call while the others are already on their toes..

Someone hand me a log. i need two hard knocks and a float.

BUT besides that, the most crucial thing i require is a sign- a neon one.. Or maybe a shrinking glass instead to make me NOT notice the smaller pictures and start to FOCUS on the overall..

QY's bdae

QY's bdae celebration at New Park Hotel. Hope you like the prezzie.. This is the first bdae celebration that BL missed. The food was good and the ambiance great. Needless to say, the company was fantastic.

It's a pity i didnt take enough pics though.
and F4-1 means that we didnt do any SHE songs during the KTV session.. like haizz.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Didnt receive the email that i was waiting for. The confirmation email for waitlist accommodation. so there goes my chance of staying in hall this semester. =(
better luck next sem i guess.
