it's 2.15am.. but..

it's 2.15am now.. and i know that i should be sleeping but i just wanna jot down my tots for today.. otherwise, known as friday.. it's been a long long day.. bits and pieces of my brain..

went down to studentenwerk early.. could feel my heart cringing at the tot of the payment but honestly, after paying up and receiving the receipt, somehow, i felt a great sense of relief.. felt as though some heavy load was lifted off my shoulders.. hmm, couldn't help but feel the sense of 'starting anew'..

was feeling a little sad for the past few days coz my parents' mic on their side is somehow not working so msn chat became a one-way thing.. with me talking to the computer, yet without audio replies.. think my dad bought 2 mics, including a webcam!! bumper.. i even installed skype to try and talk to them.. but suddenly, it worked!! man, i was so excited!!! guess like nitya said.. as much as we try to be independent, when things go wrong, you just wanna run home and talk to mummy.. not that anything went wrong but just wanna talk to my mum.. like eufo said, we got addicted talking to our mothers..

and then radek came knocking on my door, halfway through my conversation.. i was like, huh?? what happened?? i confessed.. i was half listening to what he was saying and honestly, i had no idea what he said and then..



he passed me this box!!! i was like some little kid, over the moon!! man, i've been waiting for this since the day my parents sent it.. well, only monday but still!! whee!! can't stop smiling for the rest of the evening.. more photos of its contents will come tomorrow or so.. *beams*..

is daylight saving hour starting soon?? *puzzled*

moving on..

and she was really nice about it.. and she went, i'm really sorry that something like this has to happen to you but you really got one of the best rooms around.. really hope that you will enjoy your exchange experience from now on.. to say that i'm feeling really bitter, i guess i've gotten over it.. well, i just hope that everything picks up from here..

so moving on.. man, what do girls do best? SHOPPING!! jawohl!! went altona shopping on saturday.. man, it's so tempting to splurge all my money in zara.. *faints*.. i absolutely love zara.. but nope, we stayed true to our aim of window shopping.. but.. but i bought something for my room!! to decorate it.. i'm so proud of it.. small and a little ex but hey man, i wanna pamper myself too!! that's super bimbotic!! *puke*.. when i get ard getting a shot of it, it will be here for all to see..

dinner was at eufo's.. had our leftover wantons from the night before.. and yes, i learnt to make wantons man!! woohoo!! no one got food poisoning so chills!! and we watched 'save the last dance' aber auf deutsch.. deshalb verstehen wir nicht.. aber es ist sehr gut.. liebe es gerne..

sunday was a unplanned 'disaster'.. you won't believe what did we do.. we went down to blankenese!! it was awesome but it was really funny how we even ended up at where we wanna go.. i mean, we got on the wrong bus and went on a joy ride.. then the right bus ended us up in goodness-knows-where.. but we exercised our way all the way down to the beach.. *faints*... we were at the coast of the elbe river.. cool man.. to think that we didn't even know how to get there.. but it was great.. man, i wish that it was summer instead.. great sea, great sand, great beach.. all that's missing was the sun and the warmth!! crap!!

dinner was at eufo's again.. cooked that fish which i kinda forgotten about.. man, i just throw everything and start cooking.. learnt that i have to add oil to my rice to prevent it from burning.. and we watched 'sweet home alabama'.. there's 'minority report' on tv next week..

school started today.. and man, it was horrible.. i really believe that my brain has corroded.. aber niemand zu hause muss wissen, dass meine faecher hier einfacher als zu hause sind.. but i'm just so worried now.. matlab was a complete no comprendo.. stressed!! i want to play with simulink.. paloma was saying how much she hates matlab too and similarly, though we don't understand the logic behind simulink, we love it better.. leider gibt es kein simulink.. *bleah*.. have to read up on joule-thompson effect.. oh crap!! it's only the first day..



here's a picture of my school for the next 5 months.. this was nicely taken on a sunny day.. it's been raining for the past few days!! =( here's one of the many memorable buildings.. anyway, welcome to Technische Universitaet Hamburg-Harburg..

stuffing myself with gummibaerchen.. growing fat..

...

ich habe gesagt, dass ich nur ueber Gluecklichkeit schreiben werde.. aber vielleicht ist die ganze Zeit nicht so gut.. vielleicht habe ich Sorgen fuer nichts.. ich weiss nicht.. ich bin sehr sehr muede.. manchmal moechte ich alles vergessen und alles aufgeben aber ich werde nicht machen.. alles wird schliesslich in Ordnung sein aber ich will Ihnen in alles sehen.. sowieso ist das alles..

anyways, had a mail from US.. got me excited all over and i really thank God for sally!! she's always faithfully keeping me in prayers and all.. missing her loads.. and another from singapore too!! my travel-bug buddy, who has unfortunately gone back to singapore.. man, i wish that she was here.. it will be wonderful and all.. missing you loads!! phone calls.. nice to hear ppl from home and all.. but like i told justin, i must learn to grow up.. can't be a kid anymore.. =P

caught the travelling bug and guess my 1st proper trip may be a really expensive one.. to the place where olympics 2012 will be held.. man, i wished that paris had won.. oh wells.. trying to finalise details and hopefully can buy my ticket soon.. i need and i want to travel!! =)

anyways, here's to one of my best babes, whose birthday i cannot attend coz i'm 17-hours away by plane.. thanks for everything for the past 2 years.. it's been a great and wonderful 2 years and hopefully many more to come.. hope that you have a really wonderful time today and show me all the photos of all that i've missed.. missing you dearly and was great talking to you the other day.. crap, realised that i do not have a proper photo of the both of us in my notebook.. the only one that i have, has jerry lui's finger in there too.. spoil our photo.. take a nice one during your party and i will post it up!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

mr. designer is gonna call me 'zi lian kuang' again.. but who cares!! i'm really proud of this wonderful piece of work.. it's supposed to be my farewell present but it came 2 weeks later.. as a really wonderful surprise.. and a touch of home.. and i'm so proud of announcing it here.. thanks babe!! and i'm gonna announce it to the whole world.. muakz!! i miss you all so much!!

wonderful weekend.. burning chocolate.. eating eis in the cold.. stood in the cold for about 45 minutes just to watch some lightshow at the alster lake.. 2nd visit to the fischmarkt and i realised that everytime i go to the fischmarkt, i'll definitely end up waiting for ppl.. humph!! well, ppl wait for me too so no complaindo..

gave my room a big clean-up today.. not as clean as that back home.. but passable since i'm not that tall and can't reach much corners.. did laundry which is way too expensive.. and embarrassing enough, my friend had to teach me how to use the washing machine & the dryer.. i hate the dryer and i suspect that it hates me too.. took too long to dry and yet not everything's dried.. crap, waste my money and i suspect that it shrank my giodarno t-shirt too.. crap, my favourite t-shirt..

weather's getting colder yet each day i'll get by..

murphy fell for me..

yeah.. and he fell real hard.. man, i wished that he didn't coz it's an ultimate disaster.. went thru a horrible period this week and man, it made me wonder too much.. so much that i just wanna throw in the towel and walk away.. but i'm still here..

the moon's getting rounder and rounder each night as i look at it.. then i realised that i've been here for almost 15 days.. time flies.. much more to learn before the road eventually reaches a straight smooth portion.. but can that learning be buffered??

on a side note, i went down to the school bibliothek this morning, while waiting for the sprechzeit of the students' affairs office.. guess what? it was so nostalgic!!! i saw.. introduction to chemical engineering theromodynamics... chemical reaction engineering.. perry's handbook, what benny and me deemed as 'nur fuer schlafen'.. equilibrium stage separation.. and finally, who can ever forget this book: wwwr - the fundamentals of heat, mass & momentum transfer?? man, a walk down the memory lane of the past 4 semesters in chem eng.. and now in the world of verfahrenstechnik (VT)..

hey everyone, here's me, alive & kicking.. shopping trip didn't happen =( but oh wells.. have homework for deutschkurs due but i'm still online.. here's the harbour at landungsbruecke, hamburg.. tschus!!

Gruss aus Hamburg

it has been a more than eventful week and a heck of an emotional roller coaster ride.. there's so much that i want to say here but i just don't know how to start.. just felt that through it all, He's trying to teach me all about acceptance and adaptation.. and that in my weakness, His strength is made perfect.. hicks..

anyways, if you all still dunno, i'm now in Harburg, a little part of the big Hamburg city.. where the weather, by His grace, is still pretty acceptable.. but it's gonna turn horrible soon.. my fellow singapore lives a little too far away from me, so i'm occassionally quiet, since there's no one to entertain me.. made friends with ppl from all over the place.. i even have a shopping trip this sat with an indian gal!! of course, there's those who are really unfriendly.. anyway!! my apartment is really international!! i'm staying with a french guy who lives in paris but studies somewhere else in france.. a polish guy who's really nice and speaks really awesome german.. a spanish girl who's studying chemical engineering as well.. jawohl!! 3 cheers to MATLAB.. and the both of us nearly died at that!! the funniest thing is that, all of us are engineering students!! goodness!!

earth to the germans.. despite having been here for a week, i just got my resident's permit and just signed the lease contract.. talk about efficiency!! es gibt kein!! why is everything so slow? i dunch know.. coz i arrived on a sat?? coz monday was a national holiday?? coz the uni did not update the information deseminated to us, so we missed one working day? so much more admin stuff to settle but it seems as though i can only get half of each job done each time.. and yes, finally i have my internet connection.. the whole house is going crazy over internet connection.. the germans work about less than 8 hours each day and if you are wondering what do they do with the rest of their time? i have no idea, perhaps to drink beer, to walk around in the park or whatever else.. goodness!!

yeah, much to say but don't know how to say it all.. perhaps, my friend's right about this, that once you hit rock bottom, things can only pick up from there and get better.. i hope so as well and i want it to happen too.. and if He allows it as well.. anyways, i'm gonna get my german line soon so.. you all can entertain me from home coz it's free incoming!! WOOHOO!! yeah, will tell you all soon when i get my number, so you all can call me!! bwaahhaha.. okay, till then!!

packing.. packing, packing.. still packing..

okay folks, my turn to leave now.. don't chase me away, i'll just leave on my own.. tough to pack some part of your life over to another part of the world but chills.. all will be well.. crap, still packing..

okay, BYE!!!

updates!!

been a long long week and finally it's over.. dinner appts, surprises, so many cakes & candles.. great lunches that left me too full to shift my weight around.. this was supposed to be a reflective post for entering adulthood.. but who cares..

it just felt like any other day.. except that when you sit yourself down and do some thinking, you will realise that at 21, a little more responsibilities are added upon your shoulder.. you have to start having a more detailed plan of what your future may be.. and perhaps, start saving up for whatever the future may hold, regardless if you work or not.. well, there's definitely more to just that.. let me think about it and then get back here yah?

cherie had her 21st birthday party on friday and i was late.. humpH!! stupid reasons.. much be-early for her but hope that you have enjoyed yourself gal!! thanks for the present, gonna pack it into my backpack and off to germany, it will go..



it was haofang's & manquan's wedding yesterday afternoon.. and half the church rushed from orchard road to make it for the wedding coz of lccs flag day!! here and there throughout the wedding coz was usher for it.. but i still caught the vows.. love the part whereby the couple says their vows.. =P

went back to clear work today.. yupz, i'm finally done with work.. great experience with great people.. yeah, joke of the year: i'm taking financial accounting in german.. roger was like, that's it man!! can still remember guatleng's comment: might as well change to accounting course.. erm!! oh wells, gonna miss all the girlfriends' outings, the visits to remittances, killiney kopitiam, bugging anthony to watch korean serials, the free vending machine.. all the neighbours like 'xing ge', irene, 'luke skywalker'.. the super cold fax room.. newfound neighbours.. and baoli too!! keep in touch yah?? =)

starting to say my goodbyes..

walking in my memory box..

it's been a really packed 3 days.. zooming from one place to another and everywhere.. woohoo!! someone give me a medal for surviving it through.. anyway, long post ahead, so read if you really want to else it's just for me to do book-keeping..

king david musical & kids' church party

oh my goodness, the kids at grace methodist were so cute!!! goodness gracious, in those sheep costume!!! and yes, that little israelite soldier.. and those really really sweet girls dancing.. reminded me of those days back in children tamborine class.. but i've returned everything to wangping & grace.. hmm.. oh wells.. anyway, the musical just totally reminded me of the david sanborn's one-man show of king david as well!! that was a few weeks ago at redeemer..

had kids' church party the next morning.. ie. sunday.. anyway, i was the big kid that never grew up man!! made a tat too much noise.. but this's the last kids' church till i get back next year.. gonna miss all the kids, all those kiddy songs and kiddy dances... the kiddy games and object lessons.. and definitely, today's life story!!! perhaps, it's the chance for me to take my personal rest of children's ministry and go get refreshed and recharged.. in many ways, i felt that i've hit the point of bottleneck.. i need a new influx of ideas and energy.. so till then..

german class gathering..

round of applause for yingchao, for giving up his house to house all of us.. there's greenlamb, ying, 'mummy', weiyao, rongjia, junfu aka john, minghui and a new exchange friend from sweden, emilia!! we learnt that junfu couldn't make his own popiah.. chocolate fondue was great except that it might have well been contaminated with all the satay and whatever else.. anyway, it was really sweet of all of them.. i blew candles yesterday twice.. once was the cake which eunice baked.. and another was with the german class ppl.. thanks loads.. and as typical classic japanese tourists, we were taking photos.. and i ate a tat too much..



my cell group - S.O.C

nope, we are not the school of computing neither are we the standard obstacle course.. we are known as the servants of christ!! anyway, eunice baked me a peach-lemon cake!! isn't that great.. really thankful for the many years of friendship with my cell friends.. we all grew up together.. that's how long we have all known each other.. gonna miss them all..


childhood friends.. we grew up together..


here's with my fellow 'age with grace' cell group leader.. man, jo, here we are on our way to adulthood!! *gasps*..

had dinner with them on monday evening at fisherman's wharf.. and guess who came? lixian & yueping!!! oh man, i haven't seen them for ages.. i'm hoping that yueping will webcast her wedding though.. *laughs*.. great food, great company.. drives all tiredness away.. thanks loads everyone!! =)

taku's in town [version 2.0]

so taku, sampai jumpa lagi.. goodness knows when we will all meet again.. either we fly over to japan some day or we all 'reunite' on nias island some day.. thanks for all the dinners and fun.. many things get lost in translation though.. so as all germans go, auf wiedersehen..

here's the dinner with nenek.. pak long had rc dinner..

LOA.. at last..

well, it's finally sinking in.. and yes, the feeling is finally setting in and suddenly i'm feeling all lost and confused.. seems a little too soon that i'll be gone from singapore as well... so much not done and much more to be planned but before i know it.. whoosh, off i go.. woohoo!!! too fast.. so fast!!!

somehow there's this reluctance to submit LOA, though it would have been a smart move to submit it as early as possible.. as it will spare all the trouble of having to explain to the lecturers and having all those question marks next to my name, making me an international lady of mystery ie. missing in action..

well, let's just say i do the most impulsive thing at the absolutely wrong moment but yeah, i just filed LOA.. so exciting man, blame my dynamic lifestyle.. perhaps i should have done it much earlier.. perhaps i should hold back a little later and do it like next week?? well, whatever it is, what's done, is done..

and so it is..

taku's in town [version 1.0]

it's like reliving all those days back in nias once again.. oh man, i was really happy to see everyone again.. well, almost everyone's here except hweelin and franky.. taku's in town!!! man, haven't seen him for 4 months.. yeah, uncle bernard and devin were jealous of my reaction.. but can't blame the fact that i just saw them a month back!!!

here's taku with shirleen & devin... anyways... yeah, got them to go down to tiong bahru hawker centre for dinner.. we had all sorts of food... goodness!! and for once, the guys were actually full.. *laughs*.. shirleen was late and she came with all my keropok from surabaya.. yummy!!! yeah, please remind me that the oil need not be heated for 15 minutes at maximum fire.. else there goes all my keropok!!! oh oh, taku got us stuff from japan as well... hmm, gonna miss everything.. all the 'lost in translation' and all the crazy jokes... man, devin just had to remind us of the 'flying money' incident.. well, a classic example of 'lost in translation'..

here's uncle bernard.. well, too bad i'm unable to capture that classic smile of his... which only appears after trying many many times to call through the telewaves to china.. and when debbie picks up the call.. woohoo!! how can any of us forget that smile... okay folks.. more updates tomorrow.. especially with more food on the table and more people fellowshipping..

dental visit and a lazy saturday...

i don't like it at all!!! oh man, i thought that i would have overcome it since it has been a while since i went to the dentist.. but nope!!! as i sat on 'the chair' waiting for the dentist to finish helping this granny fix her dentures, i could not help but start freaking out a little... and man, i was really getting scared of the dentist...

couldn't help but recall all those days back in primary and secondary school.. when we would all be dying to avoid visits to the dental clinic for all periods but yet, want so desperately to visit the dentist during pe periods, for the simple reason of skipping pe lessons!!! man, can still remember when the teacher came with those white appointment cards, everyone would go, better not be me man...

i can still remember my first visit to the dentist.. that pink dental chair with 2 nurses at the dental clinic.. there was one who was so unfriendly that all of us would pray real hard that we would not get her.. the other was much nicer and yours truly always got her!! i used to think that all those sounds resulting from the cleaning of the teeth were due to the bacteria and germs screaming coz of the effect of the cleaning chemicals used.. well, but that was when i was in primary 1!!!! but of course, they are due to the machinery and all...

anyways, conclusion made: i still have a big fear of the dentist.. and i don't like pain.. end of story.. =P

hmm.. all my evening plans did not come about but went home to slack after buying my luggage hardware at chinatown.. well, it's huge!! and guess who i met?? saw christopher at his aunt's flower shop!!! well, apparently meiyan was just some distance away at delifrance, meeting a client.. humph!!! i miss seeing meiyan!!! remember muz do dinner soon yah!!!?? back home, i watched so much tv.. from japanese serial to china serial and even to hongkong serial, which is none other than kindred spirit.. yes, i'm that bored.. and then i finally took my saturday afternoon nap session!! haven't done that for a long time..

oh oh, i really really think that the new refrigerator advertisement, but i can't remember which brand, is really really funny.. you have those vegetables jumping around.. starting with a carrot, then a capsucium, then a tomato and finally, a cabbage.. but due to insufficient space, the cabbage kept hitting his head against the roof of the compartment.. well, i really laughed for like donkeys before stopping.. sue me but i think it's funny!!

it's me against the wind..

i love the wind.. of course not that of having wind in the stomach coz that HURTS a lot... anyway, had such a wonderful and pretty strong sea breeze blowing from the direction of one fullerton.. i know that the wind is not always friendly.. more often than not, it's almost always too cold and sometimes, excess exposure results in chills, pain and whatever else.. silly as it sounds but i really want to go to a place, where i can stare at the sea every day.. walk along the coastline and allow the saltwater to make my toes all grandmother-like.. enjoy the sea breeze every moment.. and the solitude that comes along with it.. and so what i do best: stone..

suddenly, i have an urge to go to sentosa again.. but it's now the nationwide school holidays, with too many kids roaming around the streets.. human traffic hazards!!!

hmm... in 23 days time.. i won't get to do the above.. but it's the cold, the quiet moments and the solitude that draw me..

hmm.. great day!!

hmm... it's been a pretty good day.. today's baoli's birthday too!! welcoming her into the world of the 2-something.. but sheesh, i'm going on to one more year ahead..

anyway, set my alarm for 430am so that i could make that one impt phone call to say bye to my brother.. hmm, he figured that i was half-awake though.. boohoO!!! he should still be on the plane now.. canada is like on the other side of the world.. hmm, i'm gonna try and save up after exchange so that i can go tour canada and pay both him and lisa a visit.. missing my brother already..

time kinda inched at work.. and it didn't help that portia was staging a revolution against me.. enjoyed candice's email though... anyway, here goes:
you should put in 100% effort in your work!!!
10% on monday..
20% on tuesday..
40% on wednesday..
25% on thursday..
5% on friday..

baoli went to meet angeline and her clique for dinner, in celebration of her birthday!!! think that she got a really pleasant surprise, courtesy of angeline and company.. *laughs*.. happy birthday gal!! thanks for being such a great girlfriend at work.. man, gonna miss you when i leave.. all the lunch dates and talks, shopping and tea-breaks.. =)

hmm, i was late for the genies' gathering at suntec swensens.. this is because of some horrid jam between raffles place and suntec.. goodness gracious!!! a 5-min bus ride became a 45-min bus ride.. what rubbish man!!! humph!!! been to swensens too often but thank God for the 10% discount with uob cards.. not that i'm trying to promote uob debit/ credit cards.. great time of catching up and taking photos.. me trying to take maximum no. of photos of all my friends and gonna keep them in my notebook.. so as to remember everyone!!! the folks were really sweet.. celebrated huiling & my 21st.. blowing candles way too early and really feeling old about it.. hmm.. gonna miss everyone though.. thanks for all the memories and all the fun.. really appreciate it loads..

surprises, emotions, huh??

it's been a while since everything goes in all direction.. well, even if that has always been the case, maybe i'm just a little too disillusioned to bother about it..

hmm.. didn't get to watch 'charlie and the chocolate factory'.. but watched 'wedding crashers' instead.. silly humour with really colourful language and images.. nc16 seems a little too inappropriate.. should just make it m18, then that may remove those sec. sch kids from the theatre... hmm.. speaking of movies, this is my first movie even since 'star wars episode 3'.. candice was like, where have you been hiding man.. yeah.. 'mr and mrs smith' did not come about and with the death of my old harddisk, i lost the movie as well.. i just want back 'ever after' and 'dead poets' society'.. humph!!

and they remembered.. they remembered my birthday and time even made me card, which resembled too much like that of a christmas card but who cares?? it's enough to send me over the moon and onto cloud 9.. letters are enough to make me more than happy.. but i know, i know about the expectation but only to be disappointed.. i'll gonna make this my last present till next year and it has to be done.. hmm, if you don't understand, just leave me to my own musings yeah?? *laughs*..

'when i'm alone, i start thinking.. but it often leads to a state of blank..'

short post

went for cell after a really long time and man, i really miss cell.. and to think that i'm be gone soon.. so will really be missing cell for a really long time.. in the words of hoongwei, it's rare sight to see you at cell man!!!

thought a little last night while doing file transfer.. spent the earlier part of the evening paying min a visit.. haven't seen that gal in ages and just when i get to see her, she's flying off tomorrow morning to canada for sep.. goodness gracious.. didn't even know that she dyed her hair and all that's happening in her life.. so much for being a girlfriend.. what a lousy girlfriend i've been to loads of people.. man, and to think that i've only that much of time to make up to people..

oh gosh, it's all because of age.. makes one think too much and reflect too much about life.. goodness!!! i sound like i'm hitting 60 tomorrow..

back to school..

today's the first back i'm back in school.. and i'm like some little primary 1 kid, who's so excited about school and i really am.. i literally bounced from place to place and everyone was wondering, how is it possible that i have such energy within me...

attended CN4208 lecture and boy, i really love the lectures.. coming in a close second position behind german lectures.. CN3125 tutorial was a torture.. first, the tutorial questions don't even look like tutorial questions!! and quote, unquote: it's a waste of your life!!! ended up scheming with jane on how to get out of class, coming up with all sorts of excuses but eventually, i did not pull it off coz i wanted to live out my 'be-a-good-girl' aspiration!! *laughs*.. and then, i was such a good girl, i actually went for CN3421 lecture BUT after i saw peijia, it was a different story... both of us skipped lecture and ended up at macs for food!! met guangpeng, cheewee in lecture and was talking to them.. man, i miss those days of studying with them in the library and bugging them over all sorts of engineering questions.. yeah, i'll be back to disturb you all soon!!! but linchun went back to pgp to sleep after lab while the rest were still stuck in lab doing expt.. hicks..

spent some time catching up with peijia and i'm really happy for her.. hehehe.. don't tell you all what though.. hahahah!!! and to all my friends whom i was supposed to pop by and say 'hallo' to, i'm so sorry.. coz i had a prior appt with some of my german classmates.. and guess what did we do?? we were watching german film - der untergang.. a movie, which i was dying to catch after returning home from nias but sadly, i didn't manage to do that till this evening.. great movie with great plot but the content was too heavy!! man, i was like, break/ half-time please!!! but minghui, leeying, yingchao, zoe, khim nyang, junfu & me braved through about 2.5 hours worth of german movie... i concluded that germans make either art films with meaning too deep to comprehend or history films with content too heavy or comedies or drama-type movies with all sorts of content... but yeah, that's one of the features of the land which i'm gonna spend 5 months at..

counting down to the day when i fly off?? actually i have no idea..

trying to remember..

kinda forgot how it feels to be a student.. hmm, can't exactly believe that i was at work till late today.. somehow i need to not allow work to take over my life but at this moment, can't see myself acheiving that.. oh sheesh!! how the world will i survive sep...

all my big plans on studying today totally went into the drain.. but i was back in school late in the afternoon coz i fell asleep on the bus.. but bus 10 brought me to kent ridge bus terminal so i ain't that far from home as well but was too lazy to go back so waited for my parents to pick me up for dinner..

it kinda felt good to bum around in school, though a little bit crazy to do that on a saturday.. but as much as i don't wanna admit it, i'll miss everything here.. all the bits and pieces of memories and fun.. craziness mixed with sanity.. all the hours of mugging and stoning around late into the night.. think i'll go back and do guest appearance during classes!! *laughs*..

just caught the ending of 'drive me crazy', which i watched many years ago with lixian.. suddenly missing her too... it's been a long long while and i haven't told her about my departure.. one of the many people who occasionally appear in my mind.. yeah, and another friend was talking about homemade potato chips.. just reminded me of ibu saya, pak long, nenek, abang taku and abang franky.. feasting on keropok that came from surabaya.. all those overheating of oil, which resulted in burnt keropok.. and of course, eating too much till we all fell sick.. hmm.. muz be the turning-21 syndrome.. whereby one looks back in life and goes, 'HMM...'

not gonna stay online too long coz there's much to be done and just had a little scare by my notebook.. man, i better start coming up with a 'to-do' list for myself.. meanwhile, conserve energy..
