Merry Christmas

Last Christmas, I was happy. Maybe I wasn't really that happy, with a little uncertainty. But I was contented with life.

Looking back 2011, I can just say that I have lived 2011 to the fullest. Maybe it could have been better, but I definitely lived it to the bestest I can be.

Yesterday, as I was watching "The Holiday" on Channel 5, I can't help but to be glued to the simple story plot of two women trying to figure out what they really want in life and their journey to finding happiness. In the end, when Cameron Diaz finally got the "enlightenment" and went on to pursue what she wanted.. I can't help but to feel a little warmth and fuzzy and my eyes got a little teary. Yea, I'm such a sucker when it comes to heartwarming movies like this. -_-

This year, I spent one of the best Christmases I've had since about 4 years ago. I spent it with God, with friends and with Y. :)

=D

I just felt so blessed during service yesterday, to see how life has improved and got better for me and not only that, he gave me his blessings and promised me things which I've prayed earnestly for.

Thank you, God. (:

Christmas Cards

Being damn free and it all sparked off from an idea by tzy, I started making my own X'mas cards and got addicted. LOL.

..So if you received a card from me this year, it means you're dear to me in my life and I hope that you liked the handmade card I've specially made for you! =D

Merry Christmas everyone!

6A Gathering

So yesterday I reluctantly went to my primary school class gathering (i hope no one from my class is reading this HAHA) because I just wanted to stay home and nuaz. But I didn't regret meeting the guys because it's just nice to meet up with one another after so long and everyone seemed to have a different life story to share.

It reminded me of all the good/bad old days where we were all forced by Mrs Chu to memorise maths/english/science notes, do 4 sets of exam papers for homework everyday and recite sentences after sentences of beautiful phrases. I still appreciate her for her effort but after yesterday's meet-up, I assume everyone felt that she was more of like a communist inducing fear in all of us and forcing us to study in order to do well. This kind of education will of course no longer work in Singapore today.

We had loads of bitching, uncovering dirty secrets and at the end of the day I realized I was the one who uncovered the most secrets for them who didn't know why did some things happened during our primary school days. Guess I bear heavy grudges. HAHA

As an elite class (-_-) with almost most of the class in overseas universities (USA, Taiwan, UK, Germany, Australia...) from all around the world, it's heartwarming to see 10 individuals whose paths once crossed come together again. :)

But at the end of the day, you can't help but to feel old and marvel at how things have unfolded in our lives.

What Doesn't Kill You

..makes you stronger.

The song of my life now. Repeat mode. :)

Results: Part 2

I've been going with the wind lately, as in... just moving with the flow of events planned with friends and family and just fully utilizing this holiday to play really hard, before school starts in Jan... which I already can't wait for. I guess I'm obsessed with what I'm studying and doing and I can't wait to quickly go back to school, finish up my 4 years course, become a full fledge teacher and finally get started on my teaching career. Wow, that was a really long sentence.

Today, our OG had another outing and I guess I really enjoyed the company with this group of ten in the OG. I can't say I really like all of them (maybe just two) in this OG, but I genuinely thank God for putting some of these people in my life thanks to the orientation camp back in July. Some of them became my good project mates while some are just nice/genuine/sincere to hangout with. I really can't ask for a better group of friends whom I barely knew for four months long.

So while at Wild Honey (I have to say the American all-day breakfast was freaking huge and I could barely finish 60% of it, ME=WEAK, I say)... the topic of results came up again, considering that we all received our results just a few days ago. Well, I assume that I was certainly dismayed with the C+ (as mentioned in the previous post) I got.. I was certainly thankful of it. Which reminds me now to bring this up now... I told yanyan my results when I received it and after knowing my results, he said "good what". But when he received his own which was around the same, he said "i expected higher". So does it mean that the results he received is what he expected for me to receive but not for him or does it mean that the results I received is good for me but not good enough for him? Just some food for thought... for fun, JUST TRYING TO BE A SI GINNA AND READ TOO MUCH INTO THINGS. I know all you meant is you thought I did a great job and you thought that you could have done even better than the results you received. :) HEHEHEHE.

Anyway, back to the topic. Of course with GPA of >4, I certainly wasn't the worst in the group. But I hate the topic of results being mentioned each time. Partly because I feel bad for my friends whom I really like who didn't do as well and also feel enraged by friends whom I DON'T really like who scored really well. And I don't like it when people assume me to be this smart fellow when I'm not. I simply just work really hard because I'm insecure about myself and am afraid of failure. That's all.

But reflecting upon this, I just really have to say that results itself doesn't mean a single thing. I may not have a 4.7+ GPA like this certain someone who have on more than one occasion told me that he doesn't need to study to get his As. For the record, I feel like telling him if he was that smart, he wouldn't #1 retain, #2 scored 5.0, #3 be in our school. (Sorry, just had to bitch) But seriously, that guy was such a snob that I know of at least a dozen others who wish against him to do well. (Sorry, had to bitch again and I know karma bites) If you would let me choose, I rather be an average joe, with average results, with many average friends and live an average awesome life. Rather than a loner life with no one to share your 4.7+ GPA with. And he dared to say something like 4.7+ is giving him the blues in life. Like, because it's not 5.0? Or because you simply suck? Just had to rant man, this guy is seriously last warning. ZZZ. What a weird guy. To all my readers, if you're getting a >4.5 in future, please be thankful. Because quoting the NUS guy, you have loads of people who're "dian di-ing" for you. :)

With that said, this will be my last post about results. Until next sem. -.- Hope I don't have to bitch about that guy again.

But I've a feeling I will.

Aw shucks.

Results

I got back my results..

I am contented. Just that the C+ is like shouting in my face machiam like "HAHA EH LOSER YOU NEVER DO WELL THAT'S WHY YOU SUCK AND GOT C+".

I love Marlar and Taichee. I don't like Ji Pa and Gay Lo that much anymore. Marlar and Taichee <3

HAHAHAHA.

:)

I've been a really happy man lately.

Holidays

I was feeling bored so I decided to look for HP7 Part 2 again online since I know that with the DVD out, someone's bound to upload it.

And after 2+ hours and watching it for the third time, I feel damn emo and sad after the movie ended. You know, like that feeling where a part of your life is missing.. AGAIN.

Every time I watched the movie, I received back some different insights about life. For this time, the part where Snape professed his love for Lily in Dumbledore's office, performing the patronous and everything really hit me hard. It hasn't for the previous 2 times, but I didn't know why it struck me so deep in the heart this time.

Let me go and do some thinking. lol.

PS: Whoever is damn free did this ->

December

So, it's the end of one semester already.

I ended my last two papers last Monday. Let's just say that I screwed up one paper really badly, didn't have time to finish one question well for two papers and crapped through my human geog paper... as usual. But who cares, at least exams are over. It's not until like two or three weeks time I'll start to cry over my bad results so I decided to really enjoy my time now.

Just the past week alone, I sang K twice, ate Buffet twice, jogged twice, slept-in till noon everyday, spammed episodes after episodes of Kang Xi Lai Le, ate loads of junk food, had more family time, had more time with friends and had more time alone for myself. Life can't get better than this. But I know that in one month's time all these will end, so I'm gonna treasure all these little moments in life before it goes back to the mundane routine.

I also spent some time to stalk Priscilla's blog and realized she blogged so many times during the month of November which I didn't have the time to read most of it to catch up with her life during the exams period. I feel like a bad friend. Now I know where she got her "Kiss Me" song. Sneaky sneaky. As usual, yang's blog is complaining about how something is missing in life. It must be me. Confirm and double confirm. Don't try and deny. =)

HEHEHEHE. Siao.

I'm as free as a free gift, as nuah as a muah chee and as sian as a taupok. Oh, did I mention I'm going to run 42.195km this Sunday and I haven't train a single bit yet? If I die, please transfer all my assets to my mom and sis. Thanks.

Can't wait for Zoukout, Christmas celebrations and start of a new semester. Yes, I know it sounds crazy but I'm already missing FCHC and my bao bei bird awesome geog mates. <3
