I accidentally deleted the images hosted for the previous template and my blog was ruined. Am too lazy to get them hosted back up again hence I'm just going to settle with blogger's classic template for now.

Merry Christmas everyone. May you all haf a blessed one.

It has been a while.
During this time, work has been killing me, devoiding me of life. Ok that’s just me exaggerating but now I see why people who are working have ‘lesser life’ than those studying. You know, I actually miss being bored. Yea, just being bored is an awesome feeling.
Things have changed. I have changed. I started believing in things that I never believed in. I want to do things that I wouldn’t even let you speak about when it was 2 years ago. What caused this change, I don’t know. I guess it’s just one’s mentality when one is put into the situation. I hope I can say this better but it’s kinda difficult to put it in words. Right now, I’m just taking it one step at a time.
You know, the practicalities of life are depressing.
On a lighter note, if you minus work out of my life right now, its actually pretty awesome. The other day, I was asked what my short term goals are. I was just about to rattle them off when I realized that I've already forgotten what they are. I remember travelling being one of them but I think the grad trip cancelled that one out. I think I need to make a list again. Things I need to do. Things I need to conquer. And reading. I’ve been neglecting the books. Not to mention, the ipod touch was freaking distracting.
Ok everything’s kind of disjointed here but what’s new.
Miss the bro. Cant believe that he has only been away for two months. Felt like eons to me.

Eyes
It's hard to believe when the opposite is everywhere.
They say seeing is believing, guess thats why its harder to believe the contrary.
Ok I realise I'm not making any sense here.

About Time
I hadnt written anything here in a long time. Not that it had been uneventful. It's just that I dont know where to start. The last post was about the penultimate paper. Well, I rmb the last paper.In fact, I rmb it very well because I was ill and it was the first time I had sat for a paper when I wasnt feeling all that good. I rmb drowning in water during those days when I was studying for it, then lying in bed and refusing to move. I rmb refusing to learn how to draw the super complicated diagram, then gave in later when I saw the past yr papers. I rmb bitching to my brother having to learn how to draw the damn thing, then forgot how to draw one of the 12 boxes in the whole diagram during the exam. I rmb the exchange student commenting that the whole diagram looked like beans to him. And twas the last paper ever in NUS.
Fast forward and I was on the plane flying to Vietnam. I rmb the lack of concrete plans, just impromptu decisions. I rmb the excitement, and the paranoia. I rmb that my backpack was the lightest, and that it was barely half fulled. I rmb the monopoly nights. I rmb the long walks and the awesome food. I rmb the friendly hotel staff. I rmb the blackout in the hotel. I rmb the tunnels.I rmb the bus boy who wore a cap that says Singapore. I rmb the blistering heat in Cambodia. I rmb Pizza Company. I rmb the dimly lit streets (correction, they werent even lit at all). I rmb the pretty Wats. I rmb the ruins. I rmb climbing and panicking. I rmb the tuk tuk and the resultant numb face. I realised that I have a fear of heights. I rmb Thailand just the way it was a year ago. I rmb cha yen. I rmb the night markets. I rmb big mama. I rmb the trains. I rmb the sunset, the sunrise and the moon. I rmb the beaches. I rmb the supermarkets. I rmb how we took one day just to finish one mall. I rmb the people in Malaysia. I rmb the taxi driver. I rmb the wanton mee uncle. I rmb the E&A uncle. I rmb the travel agency uncle. I rmb the movie. I rmb the memorials. I rmb gurney drive. I rmb chinatown. I rmb the cheong fun.
It was 4 weeks of awesomeness. It was the only way and the only consolation that one could ever have before starting smth serious like, work. I thought I had spent this period of nothingness pretty well. No doubt that the trip was the highlight during this period, I was glad that I manaaged to meet up with people after I came back. What with the world cup, makan outings and singing sessions, it was good. And how could I forget the commencement? While some may say it's just a formality and that it doesnt really matter (I used to think that way too), but it was so, I dont know. It just symbolises so much. And all the happy faces and the parents beaming. It's touching you know.
And tmr, I start work. It's about time too dont you think? Since I'm going to be bankrupt soon. Heh. I'm not really looking forward to it. Seriously, how many people can look forward to work. It aint called work for nothing. Ok this is sounding a little pessimistic here but oh wells, I'll just try to make the best out of it.
Till then.

One more
I finished the penultimate paper today and came back to dinner , telly and computer. My brother was the cutest when he showed me this piece of paper on which he copied the grades of everybody in his class for the past 6 tests that they had.
I then had to wrap a book for him with a rather dirty looking tape that he found in the house.
My throat is feeling uncomfortable but I don’t feel unwell. I have Strepsils and I have water. What I need now is probably for 4th May to come. Though the preparations and stuff have yet to be done, I am definitely looking forward to getting out of the country after that.
“ tourism suggests a society that wishes to escape their reality” (Jamal & Hill, 2002)
I guess this sentence was probably the most exciting thing that happened to me when I was doing academic reading.
/edit: I forgot to mention that the only eye candy that I've ever had in all these years studying uni was the invigilator for the paper today and he made my heart skip a beat everytime he walks by. Seriously, good looking people should be barred from being an invigilator. They are major distractions.
