Woah! Finally completed my FINAL exam in university (hopefully). But I didn't feel super happy. I guess I'm already used to this mug-exam-yays cycle that I don't really feel a thing. It has been the most tiring sem ever. I feel I've aged so much so much, both mentally and physically. I'm so glad it's all over, but looking at what lays ahead of me, I guess I'll definitely miss school. The freedom, the carefree-ness, and maybe, the mugging. It's crazy how fast these 4 years just zoom past. And looking back, I do enjoy my university life. It's a pity I didn't join any CCA, but the summer programme definitely made up for it. I'm so glad I decided to go for it afterall. It's just 6 weeks, but I think it really made a difference to my life.



I feel so lost now that I'm about to enter another phase of my life. Keep sending out resumes when at times, I don't even know what I really want. And it's getting a little depressing when rejection keep coming and coming. But I'm beginning to look at the brighter side. Every rejection makes me stronger, and I'm getting used to the interviews. And right now, I'll just keep my fingers crossed.



Woah, on a totally random note, I'm flying off to Australia tomorrow! 20 days vacation after 4 years of mugging! It just isnt fair but still I'm going to enjoy every minute of it! I have always wanted to go Australia even though alot of people have been telling me it's boring there. Quite interestingly, it's all because of a channel 8 drama! I even remember certain scenes and action (now i know why i couldnt remember all those chem engin stuffs). And on a bimbotic note, I borrowed a black trench coat from my aunty. Even bought black big sunglasses to go with it. And yes, my nails are painted in hot pink already!



Australia, here i COME!

And jobs, COME to me!

Feeling apprehensive about tomorrow's interview. And I guess this apprehensiveness is churning out negative emotions in me. I feel terrible now.

Used to think I have a bunch of close knitted friends in university. I really do, and I feel both proud and lucky to have this gang of people around me cos' it seems that university friends usually fall into the 'acquaintance' category, or a little more than acquaintance perhaps. So it feels great to have friends to whine over university woes together, to celebrate birthday for you, and most importantly, to care for you. I thought this bond was strong, but still, it failed to withstand the force of competition, at least in my contention. With time, with exams, with projects, with job interviews, I see the true colors. I see jealousy, I see anger, I see aversion. Not even a simple, how are you.

It's not about being sensitive or paranoid. It's a fact, it's screaming out loud, just a choice of denial or facing the truth.

Embrace challenge.

Sigh.
Realised I have been neglecting this poor blog of mine, so here's a quick review of everything!

Just submitted my fyp report about 1 week ago, which definitely is a major load off my mind. Though there's still the poster presentation, but I shan't worry over it now (cos' there's so much vexing stuffs at the moment). Fyp has been draining both mentally and physically. and. socially. But after hearing horror stories from the people around me, I guess I'm very lucky already. I'm just glad the major part of it is over already.

Haven't really gotten a good break after the fyp cos' school has started already. And I know the break prolly won't come looking at the requirements of the design project. But it's the final sem already so I shall push on, with whatever remaining energy left after those 3 horrendous years.

Speaking of which, it dawned on me that I'm graduating (!!!) Sharks. No more school = time to find a job = interview interview interview. While I hope that interviews come quickly, they seriously traumatise me at the same time. Already yesterday I'm losing sleep over the interview that's coming 2 days later. And I hope I get this one cos' that's where I really wish to work in. Pray for me!

Alrights, I shall go back to my interview preparation. Will update, eh, soon? hopefully with good news!

Woah, finally, my internship stint has finally come to an end (not including the 3 days handover, zzz). Really glad it's over cos' that means good-bye to reaching office at 7.15am, going back at 630pm usually. For the first time, i really feel tired. I really feel that urgh, im-dragging-myself-out-of-bed feeling. It makes me appreciate school alot. That freedom. So yep, im actually looking forward to heading back to school (: Haha, yep, im a mugger!

But these 6 months definitely have been rewarding. It totally exposed that weaker side of me. To be honest, I'm really quite disappointed with myself. I do believe i have that ability and depth to excel. But why cant i deliver that confidence, that belief? No use lamenting over the lost opportunity but it's a wake-up call definitely.

What doesnt kill me, makes me stronger. Go go go!!

Had a 10 years anniversary gathering with the lovely bunch of sec sch friends today! (oh dear, it's that long!) Haha, being the usual cheapo us, we went to Seoul garden for buffet, wanting to eat from 11 to 5. But ehs, lao le lao le, low metabolism rate, so we could only tahan for like ehh 3 hrs only, which makes me wonder how in the world did we manage to gorge and swallow all those food back then!

Ohh, and since it's the celebration for 10 years of friendship, we brought along photos and yearbook to sort of look back on the supposedly fond memories. But i think i would rather throw those photos into a safe, and prolly take them out for laugh once a while only. Hahas! I cant believe how terrible, unglam, and gross we look last time! And the pose were super funny! There's even the retro beach, trees, and sand background. Hoho! So yep, i aint gonna post those photos here, case people start to use them for blackmail.

But instead, I'm gonna post the neoprints we took today! Haha, all i can say is: Hey dear friends, we look good man! Woohoo!

10 years! EeJun, i love your hairband. So retro!

Cheapo! Nah, thrifty is the right word.

Yoyo! Haha, that's our favorite pose years and years back!



Picture perfect!


I love this photo! So comical!---> points at ej's face


10 years, and still counting!
