4th Sem

i cant wait for school tmr! though its 338am and i have to wake up at 830am, which means groggy head and heavy eyelids, but still, excited! i miss eating in the arts canteen, i miss deliberating over what to eat for lunch and realise that i eat the same food at the same time of the week. i miss yongtaufoo & barchormee & cranberry milkshake! i miss the ritual of going to as7 to print notes, the ritual of queuing up to buy yongtaufoo, the ritual of knowing which part of the school to go on which time of the week. i miss lazing around in school being caught in my own thoughts. i miss the free wifi (though not easy to stay logged in) anywhere on campus that doesnt drain my phone battery as compared to 3G. i miss the free shuttle buses (sort of, paid by my school fees though) that i can hop in and out of. i miss challenging my mind intellectually instead of having to keep myself occupied. i miss having the thought of having something important to do. i miss the feeling of being a student, still cocooned in the comforts of schoolwork and projects, yourself and all your idiosyncracies, having the freedom to plan my own time, do my own thing, being able to leap and not worry that you will fall, at least not too hard.

im only taking 4 mods this sem, because i convinced myself that i will be slogging away in Thailand after this sem is over, for 6 weeks, so i can afford to skive on completing the usual credits for this sem, muahahaha! and also because Thai is gonna be intensive with 6 hours of lessons and tests and whatnot, so is Pop Culture of S'pore (weekly reflections??, 2 term papers!). Methods seems intensive and the lecturer is someone v chiong hei, thats gonna take up alot of my energy.. so yea, 4 mods it is! new sem, new grace, new levels of increase, new levels of enlargement and friutfulness!

in short, i cant wait to go back to school! :D

and i am determined to make that Taiwan/SEA/Vietnam trip happen. its like a sign or something. i keep reading stuff about seizing the day, make time worthwhile while you still can. also chancing on an old message by Pastor to not have a poverty spirit, not everything is a waste especially if it is money well-spent with family. and i want it bad enough to make it happen anyway. either with my family or friends. OR BOTH! how COOOL would that be?! :D its one of my requests for 2012. the other 2, will talk about them at another time.

till then, see the good in your life, despite all that may look negative!
