I so can't wait for Wednesday to be over.
having pulled an all-nighter to finish personality psych's lab report by Friday,
rushed to complete our stats group research project report by today,
and now - studying for atypical development quiz tmr,
to another madrush for psycholing report by wed,
i really want to have no deadlines!

humphf.
MIFFED. (haha)

i should get back to my notes. really love atypical though,
im glad it's affirming my perceived interest in children and learning difficulties (:

well, at least there's the boyfriend, and awesome friends that call me for a round of guitarhero break (: and, the cutesy snow-white tubby. annyeong!

MEW!

the day...
the boyfriend won an ipod touch! 



well, he doesn't have much of a use for it,
so he's given it to me for my usage!
say hi to my new touchh! (:
he was chosen as one of the lucky 5 out of 2000 after completing a survey.
just a survey, like seriously, how lucky is that right?
when he told me about the phonecall i was adamant it must be some fraud.
well, thankfully he still went to collect his reward in the end (:

the were 3 possible prizes - dslite, psp, and ipod touch.
so since i have a dslite, my bro a psp, the ipodtouch was like the best one!

anyhow, YAY! (:

been having a fun time exploring hehe.
any recommendations for fun applications? (:

in other news,
now my plans to get an iphone has to be shelved
till futher notice.
it's rather silly to buy an iphone now
cos that'll be like a duplicate of functions?

something's wrong with my connection to the nus net though,
it doesn't direct me to the nus login page! ):
i can only use wireless@sg in school for now. bah.


anyways,
THANK YOU! (:

and, it was my brother's birthday,
so HAPPY BIRTHDAY kor! ((:
a quarter century. gosh.
hehe.


and to the boyfriend,
HAPPY 15th! <3

我们何其幸运
无法确知
自己生活在什么样的世界。

we're extremely fortunate
not to know precisely
the kind of world we live in.

--  W. Szymborska 辛波丝卡 --


got reminded of this quote that i once read.
and like before, i started ruminating over it.
is ignorance really bliss?


at this moment,
something in me is inclined to seek solace in this,
perhaps,
i shouldn't have.


the what-ifs,
could-have-beens.
why tear the pretty wrap off the state of things
a saccharine lull.
shared memories could have overcome
a small glitch in this bond.

exactly because
a human heart isn't the face of water.
the carress of a breeze
the adventure of a ripple
pass, fade
and leave no trace.

i used to believe in communication,
that's how 15 of us worked well anyway.
a small circle in our small room,
seeking out every genuine voice.
tears, hugs,
and grow even stronger.

but so it seems,
after each confrontation,
the gash never gets filled.
packaged, wrapped,
happily ever after.
beneath that pretty face -
torn apart, 
added fury, accusations, frustration.

not me.
not me,
before.



because i can't pretend as if it was never there.


i can,
i won't mind.

but things complicate as human relations expand,
as words spread,
emotions flow,

and then...
nothing's left but

distance.


it wouldn't have mattered,
but you're taking away those close to me.





i won't grieve,
as long as there's still you.

i'm finally back after a long hiatus.
i think it's time (:

( but... )

life's been good,
started school as a year 3,
still loving every bit of psychology (: (okay, minus the stats maybe)
loving linguistics more with every day
being more sure with the more i learn,
and im thankful.

ever since i've been back from mich,
i've thought about life,
reflected a lot, and realigned many priorities,
i think i've grown, i hope i have.

in any case, i'm still really thankful to the people who've never left.
i owe alot to all of you, thank you (:
my pillars of strength, my family,
and yes,
most importantly,
thank you.


some updates:
had a really lovely surprise yesterday -



朋友，谢谢你，真的，
有你这个朋友，和你的“阴魂不散”(哈哈，还记得吗!)，
是我的福气。
(:

ms ong's wedding!
which was really really pretty,
and filled with bliss (:
nice seeing the familiar faces that i've not seen in so long.




reminded me of kli's sisters lovely outdoor wedding (:
kliho kliho kliho,
let me hear more from youuu!


and there was my 21st (:
it was held in my humble home,
so i'm sorry it couldn't fit many people.
im glad all of you were here to share my day with me (:
 

 



patty aloy shawn kli shuyan jasmine tracy,
we need to meet and catch up again!
im so glad we managed to reunite altogether (:





and before you leave again for london, here's to you.
thank you. you've always been special, and
i'm glad we've grown through so much together.






and of course, you.
thank you so very much, for everything.
ilovetheds (: and every moment spent together <3



how quickly,
it's been a year and two,
life would never have been the same <3

we believed,
and it's showing.


for now, it's back to concentrating on my research,
and putting in more effort to get closer to my goal.
more on michigan and the experience next time (:





there's only one thing to do, three words, for you

it's time i did an update.

dear friends,
I'M HOME!

even though it wasn't the best of reasons,
nor the happiest of celebrations,
i'm just glad that i'm back by your side.

feel my strength in you.
belief.


haven't had time to really talk about my return /
sum up my months in michigan,
but i'll do so in due course!

the flight back was brimming with emotions.
of hope, excitement, pining, glee, anticipation, relief.
of introspection, reviews, worries, considerations, imagination.
of what-ifs, i hope, i pray, perhaps, maybe, thankfully.

but it must be the most special,
and awesomest of feelings,
to be back stepping on ground where i know it's home,
looking at the faces i love most through the glass,
knowing that within minutes,
they'll be within reach.





and of course,
the most blissful,
and greatest blessing.

nine,
with you.


we believe,
and it will.

time ticks away,
and as i sit here trying to study developmental psychology,
it strikes me that i'm half through.
soon to come, i'll be back in your embrace,
seeing you face to face (:

i wonder how things have changed while i'm away?

in this past month,
quite alot has happened,
many things experienced,
much learnt,
much growth.

and i'm glad it's only for the better,
and the stronger.

i hope that when i next appear in front of you,
you'll see a better me,
one that you'll be proud of.

key highlights within the past month:

1. meeting the other 2 girls we're traveling on springbreak with - nina's cellgroup mate and her roommate.
korean bbq dinner! meet cathy and ann!

2. finally acting on my desire to bake - grabbed whatever available in the house to make:
honey + nutella cornflake cups!



3. experiencing non-freezing temperatures in the open. 16 degrees celcius day! gosh, finally.
snow melting away, seeing greenery!



4. receiving mummy's 爱心parcel! (:
thank you mummy, i love you! and ah-e, for the trouble of sending it. love you too!



5. valentines'! webcam day,

and housemates loving.
