It's 8pm on a Wednesday evening and I'm home alone.
A little odd, nonetheless very nice.
It suddenly came to me today that my tort Prof Gary Chan is a very good listener. He will silently let one say his piece, listen intently, and be able to pick out what one was trying to say no matter how convoluted one's speech was. 技术高明
That was Wednesday. It was now noon on Saturday, and I'm sitting in school again. This time to wait for dad to pick me up for lunch. Once again, the last bits of morning in the city is lovely. Warm rays of the sun and a light comfortable breeze :)
That last bit was 6 hours ago! This is probably my most fragmented post to date!
Well, lunch at Pu Tien @ City Square was surprisingly nice. And I had a most productive dance session! Glamour looks like its going to be a beautiful event. Unfortunately the tickets are miserably expensive, so I shan't make my friends come :(
Love dancing, miss skating.
Good time on Tuesday meeting up with the girls. Too short! Too infrequent! Too busy!
Past week has been a busy week. This coming week is going to be worse. Thanks to my irresponsible contract TA and useless BGS. Also irritating how AS is such a total waste of time. Shouldn't be too bothered if I keep not waking up for classes.
Can't wait for holidays!!!

It's a beautiful January Thursday, I'm sitting at the open space in school opposite the Cathay, the sun is mildly warm and there is a lovely strong breeze blowing, rustling the leaves and swaying the branches, the air smells clean and refreshing.
Its almost coming to the end of the second week of school, and almost 3 weeks of 2010 has passed.
I am also now 21.
Turning 21 holds plenty of legal significance, though life goes on, the day I woke up fully 21 felt the same as any other.
Despite all that, I had a lovely 21st birthday party. It was at beautiful sunset bay @ ECP with most of my dearest people.
My family, to whom I am the only one to be amused at, nag at, be frustrated at. and for whom I intend to remain so until such a time as comes necessary for otherwise; and the members of which have bestowed me for all my life with much love, gifts and extra opinions.
My cousins who I've only discovered a few years ago but with whom I've spent lots of enjoyable times.
My bestfriend with whom I've had lots of fun, who's lived with lots of my whims and who's helped me with alot of saikang :) and naturally for whom I would never swap with anyone else.
Naturally my friends from school (cchms,vj,smu), without whom life would be a bore and a good deals less enjoyable.
Whoever was overseas, I know you love me :D
I had a tourist day out with Eileen and Clar last week (after I slept through my first AS class at home. speaking of AS class, I think its a total waste of time, if it must be compulsory, easily accomplished via e-learning), and then a nice evening with Ceci @ Timbre @ Mt Sophia (we were smart and walked up the road instead of taking the stairs).
As far as possible, I shall try to make Thursdays my movie day!
Last Thursday was Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker's funny and entertaining 'It's about the Morgans'.
This Thursday shall be the great Meryl Streep's 'It's complicated'.
As I've been typing, the mildly warm sun with the lovely strong breeze has morphed into an overcast sky with strong wind, shaking the branches of the trees. Nevertheless, it's still lovely weather to be sitting out in (safely sheltered, away from the impending storm of course).

2009 is finally gone and 2010 is here. As the previous year was coming to a close, all I could think about was that the holidays were ending and that school was going to start again. The month break had been a good rest (I've gotten plenty of sleep and chill time), but there were plenty of things I hadn't done.
-Kbox
-Ice Skating
-Picnic
-Sentosa
-Pulau Ubin
I then went on to think about how I needed to pull up my socks in school, quit bejeweled and thoroughly prepare for every single lesson.
So all of my new year thoughts were about school and work, this considering school took up only 13 weeks (out of 49) of my 2009. The lighting pace and giagantic pile of work from school has somehow led to my sort of losing track of my outside world. Life shouldn't be about work, and then fitting friends and outings in. If that were the case, I'd be spending 95% of my time working, and only having time for my friends and family once a month. Then I'd want to only spend my time with a select few people, because this time that I can squeeze out is definitely not enough!
This time last year, I was more concerned with my social life. I had all the time in the world to accomodate my friends' schedules, visiting them in school etc. I always say I miss flying, my passengers, the times with my collegues, the stations etc, one thing I never realised I had then was the time I had for myself to really do what I wanted; things then were really very nicely balanced (except that I could be around on certain days).
Now, life is immersed into school, what social life I have is closely intertwined with my classes and work. Other people will have to be slotted in. Reading Liz's post about 'living for oneself', I sort of know how it feels to not be able to spend as much time with friends and family as you'd like.
Its actually an either or thing. To excel in work, you'd have to put it your priority, your relationships will grow among the people you work with (not that I'm not grateful for my classmates, they've come to become very good friends); but if you want to nurture and maintain your 'old life', other things will have to take a backseat, and it'll be a case of work slotted into one's social life.
In this world, to 'succeed', the choice is made for you, you have to take the first choice. But I don't like seeing so little of my friends, and hence will try to be superwoman and the last resolution for this year would be to work out something to fit it all nicely together.
Happy New Year!!!
you know you love me
and i love you too!
