Disappearing Act

I will be disappearing from this blog for a while (most prob till after my summer school).

Assignments are piling, readings are sooooo much e.g. 1 book a day.... reports after reports.....

I am going a bit crazy.

And not just me, all the foreigners are also mugging everyday.
You know whats the best thing? No matter how much you mug, you wont finish!

OK BYE (Phua, 2008)

生命

生命

我学会了,领悟了,了解了生命的可贵。

在这短短几十年的岁月,
我们能争取的成果有限。

问题: 怎样的生活才算是值得的?

答案: 活得开心,自在,珍惜所有关心你的人,不放弃,不畏惧,充实自己。。。

你呢?

昨天,wenjian 打了一同电话跟我说 Ah-Peng 将在昨晚安心的去世,我突然觉得一阵伤感。虽然跟 Ah-Peng 不是非常熟,但听了之后,心也怪怪的,有一点伤心。。。在这里, 想跟您说声谢谢。我很感激您对我们的帮忙,跟所有的一切。

从您身上学会了很多东西。其中就是人生无偿,我们不知道明天会身参的事,所以我们要珍惜身边爱护我们的人,也要活得多姿多彩,活得开心。

美丽的传说

美丽的传说

当我第一次遇见你, 我没有仔细的看着你。
当我第一次认识你,我没有好好的了解你。

记忆模糊了,我也忘了我们友谊的过程。
记得的,有美丽无瑕的时光, 也有伤心流泪的故事。

感情,随着岁月, 慢慢加深。
我们也成为了很好的朋友。

你的善解人意,温柔可人,打动了我的芳心。
我不知不觉对你动了心, 着了迷。

虽然深爱着你, 我却不敢向你表白。
内心深处却很想大声喊着: 我喜欢你!

时间一分一秒,一天一天的过去,
我们也从朋友变为知己。

我知足了,也不想在有什么要求。
没向你表白是我的遗憾,但表白后的情景我却不敢想象。
了解你的个性,我打算不冒这风险。
知己也是幸福的。

你看着我的眼神,令我终身难忘。
我喜欢你这么的看我。

我怕, 真的害怕。
花了很久的时间,我才开始说服我自己不去爱你。
花了许多的经历,我才能够以朋友的角度去看你。

再次面对你令我很开心, 因为我还喜欢你。
再次面对你令我很担心,因为我害怕再次陷入不可挽回的地步。

对不起,我对你的冷漠,不是出于我的真心,
对不起,这是为了我们以后的好。

我很珍惜这份情义,也不想失去你这位要好的朋友。
请相信我,相信我们之间那份永远燃烧的友情。

Academic Year 1 @ NUS

I got to realise that work is NEVER- ENDING, as much as you can clear and want to clear them, it is simply IMPOSSIBLE to have 0 workload on your shoulders. Work will come and once cleared, more will be behind, piling up like nobody's business.

One year in NUS passed just that. Coming in to NUS was an exciting start, staying in Kent Ridge and enjoying hall life. Busy but fulfilling, my CCA- NUS Geog Soc and Hall CCA- KRX was indeed a very enriching experience. Though vey hectic, many valuable friendships and memories have filled inside this small world of mine, expanding it outwards.

Given such an exciting start, I actually fear that my second year will not be as fulfilling as my first. I need to step down as vice president of Geog Soc as I am going field studies and I also need to step down as vice president of KRX as I no longer stay in KR, I fear that my daily life may not be as interesting as before.

However, friendships remain and I am very glad I joined all my activities.

Geog Soc Spirit Shines.
KRX Rocks.

NUS Geography Challenge 2008

After 9 months of planning and execution, the NUS Geography Challenge has officially ended today. Thinking back, it has indeed been a memorable and enriching journey for me. From prelims in march to finals today, we have put in a lot of hard work and effort in making this whole event a success.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the 42nd Management Commitee for putting in so much hard work into this event. In particular: Jade (Project Director), Yuna (President and Winnie (my fellow MC). I would also like to thank all the others, sincerely.

Prof Lily Kong and all the distinguished guests are happy with the event. Overall, I would say that the event went rather well, except for minor 'stumbles' here and there. Food was great and most students enjoyed this challenge (which is very heartening).

Last but not least, according to feedback, my MC-ing skills are not bad (but definitely room for more improvement). Photos will be blogged at a later date.

I love Geography and I believe Geography loves me too.

Back from RESERVICE

After serving the nation from june 2 to june 6, I finally out process around 4pm today. Training was xiong but thanks to everyone, it went smooth and I relived the experience again.

I must say it was a good time to give up what I have been holding on during this period, as I do not have contact with anyone, but in camp. I should say I am successful yet it was difficult.

Thanks to YC for driving me back home.

GC is tomorrow. Looking forward to it!
