A new morning. A different morning.

In a shitty sorta mood. Spent a little time reflecting last night and looking through my previous entries from 2-3 years back! wow. time flies huh~ All those little steps add up to big ones and looking back, perhaps i've changed a tad. Also, last night pushed me into the realness of life. I, along with many others, spend so much time looking forward, that we seem to forget where we come from. It's true that we shouldn't dwell on the past, but we mustn't forget it, because very often, answers to the future lies in the past. Nobody is perfect, so we need to and should learn. After all, as Ghandi said :" Live as if you will die tomorrow, Learn as if you will live forever." Apart from being a great dude, these words, his words makes alot of sense. And where else to learn from except the past, and others(and their past)? I hope i've learnt a great deal, and will learn a great deal more~.

Enjoying a bowl of cereal and pikelets that teagan mades! she should stay over more often! ^_^ cereal is good, and the pikelets are better! Sheesh i think i'm really indulging too much every morning! In fact, i usually eat so full until i only have space for a minuscule lunch. A photo of the chef in action.Last night we had a royal steak and it was good! meats are so much cheaper here (o happy day~) The food here is prolly not healthier, but somehow it feels healthier! maybe that's the reason everytime i come over i put on alot! sighs. exam results today! I hope i dun screw up den cannot do honours! :( wells i dun care wadever i get as long as i'm allowed to do year 4~ I sooooo dun wanna work yet cos i'm unprepared!~ OK i'm back here now with my results and all checked. This sem has reiterated my belief that studying for exams for me is next to useless. I've long questioned the usefulness of studying for exams in NUS, especially because : 1) when i put in the effort to study, my grades do not improve. 2) when i study only hours (if at all) before my exam, my grades do not drop. My grades are unspectacularly mediocre yet AGAIN. Not good enough to celebrate, not poor enough to contemplate self-mutilation. Anyhow, here i am, sitting in my bed while the West Coast Eagles take on Carlton outside on channel3. I'm freezing my ass off now and i am seriously considering saving some bath water for the good of the planet, being the environmentalist that i am hurhur. 1 more week to returning to singapore! While i miss home a tad, i must admit, incredulously, that i'll prolly miss, as well, this rather placid country where my older relatives and the few adorable gnats call home~ It's been a pleasurable stay here with my macbook, DS, cards and my book~ Perhaps later i'll go practice some card tricks. Many say that card tricks need to be practiced, but my skills hardly get rusty, since i know next to no tricks. but practice is good cos it keeps me with something to do, and i get to wow the kiddies here and there haha. Also, i'll spend some time looking into the history of opium in southeastasia since K is bugging me to do it. It's quite funny, but being in the company of so many here, i find that i spend the majority of my day with K on Gchat! haha. Distance can bring pple closer i suppose, tho this isn't closer exactly. lol 'Closer'. haha that nice show btw. Today was cold and drizzly, which meant that there wasn't any activity outside the safe, warmer confines of home. Well contrary to what others think, i believe that one CAN enjoy a holiday just bumming around at home with nice biscuits, good breakfast and a flavourful cup of tea/or the occasional hot chocolate. We had a good round of mahjong today. Sigh. After about 1000 games of mahjong over 10 years, it seems to get a tad boring. Each round used to be a puzzle, yet now it seems like a bunch of algorithms. And there used to be a thrill of winning by great margins and making people Bao when u've got big cards. Well, now all that remains is bragging rights (which actually isn't too bad is it? haha). This is a snap of Isla joy n alyssa joan. To be continued tmrw.
