A good week thus far ![]() I think it had been a relatively good week for me this week, having done with all my labs and Research programmes for this semester, which really makes my timetable less intense. Still remember the first few weeks of school when I have Monday lessons from 10am-8pm straight with no breaks in between, and its sorta crazy! Oh wells, I'm glad I survived through :) Anyway, my Bestie is so sweet to offer me a ride to school on Tuesday morning. And it just so happened that it was raining that fateful morning, which makes my trip to school so much more convenient! :) Speaking of which, I think I'm such a good procrastinator that I haven't started learning driving! Been wanting to do so since after the end of A'levels. And I finally went back for Water Polo training on Tuesday evening after a 7 months hiatus! Have stopped training officially ever since the NUS Open Challenge ended in end January. Everything somehow changed over these 7 months; I see so many unfamiliar faces, and even the tactics somehow changed such that I was sorta confused during the game. It feels good touching the balls after sooooo long, and hey, my ball handling didn't deproved that much :D I think age is taking a great toll on me physically nevertheless; my muscle ache hurts really badly the next day! :( Accepted the internal offer by NUS for my exchange to UNC on Wednesday. But somehow I had a rather weird feeling after having made the acceptance, inter alia, this being something that I really wanted so badly. I didn't had such a far-sighted thought initially when I made my application, but all of a sudden now, I had an unprecedented feeling of worries and fear, and it is just so self-contradicting. On one hand, I was worried that my module mappings would some how screw up and then I'd have to forgo my exchange, which would be so disappointing. But on the other hand, I was really fearful and insecure of having to travel to a foreign and unfamiliar country that is faraway from home ALONE. Suddenly I just don't feel like leaving Singapore, I don't feel like being away from my family and friends. But I know that I'd not learn and discover new things if I were to be contented with staying here in Singapore. I want my life to be more fulfilling! But hopefully this 10 months would suffice to prepare myself mentally for this exchange should everything be going on smoothly! Celebrated my advance birthday @ the Swissotel today. Succumbed to temptations and had lots of raw oysters, scallops, prawns, crabs, etc that I should be avoiding! :( Hopefully there won't be an outbreak of rashes tomorrow. And I can't believe I'm hitting 20 in just a matter of few days. And I realised that as we get older, we are losing the hype over the excitement of our birthdays; at least with regards to myself. I used to get so excited when I was back in Secondary School, but as for now, I don't really want to get older :( After dinner, it was an impromptu decision to meet Shawn, Jeremy and Linus who were round the corner over at SMU Ice Cold bar watching the EPL matches. Can't believe I decided to go even though I'm not interested in soccer now. HAHAH. But the commotion was really funny! I can't stop laughing at Shawn who goes "Ooohhhhh, ohhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhh". HAHAHAHHAHAH Feels so sinful for not having done a single work for the whole day. Oh man. |
