Different

 Sometimes, I don't wish to leave paradise

Right, I'm back here once again! Okay not gonna blog about my trip cause I'm not yet done sorting out the photos :P And also I've been editing the videos I took there. Making a video of our trip! So that I can enjoy it anytime I want in the future :) Anyway I'm still having withdrawal syndrome urghh, though it's been 3 days since I got back here. Hate being a sentimental person!

But what to do? :/

Anyway I enjoyed making the videos. I've always wanted to make such videos, I even planned this way before we decide which country we'll go for our graduation trip. Well it's quite difficult editing, since I've never done this kind of thing before (I always do timelapse or photo montage) but nevertheless the process is really fun! I'll show you once it's done.

Today is Sunday. But somehow, today feels really different. Sundays no longer feel like the Sundays I've been having for the past one year. Although I did the same routine, just like any other. Perhaps it's the fact that I... Am no longer a student in this sunny island. As I once believed that coming back will feel different, and yes it is indeed different.

It is different in many ways. Taking the bus, walking on streets I always walked on, eating the same food, grocery shopping, all these were things I always do, right? But now everything just feels different. Different in so many ways.

Tomorrow the new academic year for poly students (except for TP and RP I think) is starting. Feels like my three years in poly just happened in a flash. I entered poly back in 2010, it's been 3 years since my first day in SP! And back a year ago I was starting my internship for year 3, which I'm so so glad that I don't have to go through that again (oops).

Anyway, all the best to all the freshies, and everyone else who are coming back to school!

This week I'm gonna be occupied by quite a few things, so I must make the better of everything! I hope my withdrawal syndrome from my trip will go away soon, though I really think it's gonna be difficult haha. Oh well, I'll talk to you soon again, with stories about my trip! :)

Thailand Trip 2013

Hi everyone! It's been a week since I blogged but anyway, yes I'm back from my Thailand Graduation trip! It was such an awesome trip with 4 of my friends, and I really enjoyed it! So anyway I returned yesterday and oh gosh I really don't feel like leaving Phuket (our last city of departure) cause it's been such an amazing place. But oh well, time has to go on right!

It's been a bad day today cause I've been having withdrawal syndrome whereby I don't feel like doing anything at all. In fact I actually skipped all my meals (since I woke up at 12 Hah) and only had dinner as my proper meal with Neal, which was ramen. Yum. Oh well I hope this feeling will go away really quickly. I hate withdrawal syndrome!

Anyway, I'll be blogging about the trip soon! In the meantime here are some pictures!

Graduation trip number two!

Hello everyone! Yes yes yes as the title says I'm leaving for my graduation trip to Thailand with Jolene, Melissa, Sharon and Weilun! OMG can't wait and I'm very excited now. Months of planning and searching for hotels (thanks Weilun for all the confirmation etc! :D) and tomorrow is finally the day! And uhh time check 10:53 PM and I haven't packed oh gosh.

Anyway yup I've been waiting for tomorrow! Arrgh so excited ^^

Anyho, as I'm rushing, another picture post tonight! It's referring to the previous post:

So long fellas! See you in another 8 days' time hehe.

Here's to a fun, awesome and safe trip to Thailand! :)

Meaningless

I know it's rare of me to post at 3:56 AM. But, I just had to. Epiphany moment.

I came upon a realisation, that at the end of the day, at the end of your life, nothings else is going to matter. To your grave, you're not going to carry your wealth nor health. You're not going to carry your achievements, your pride and glory. You won't be having your unhappiness, and your happiness with you either. At the end of the day, all of life's sadness, stress, frustration and happiness, will be left behind, and they will all not going to matter anymore, at the end of the day.

So when you're happy, be happy. And be sad when you're sad

Be stressed when you're stressed, and be crazy when you need it to be.

Live life to the fullest, not because you will die one day.

But because nothing is going to matter at the end of the day.

Being alone

No post tonight but photo again! :P

 

I'm sure in one part of our lives, we feel this way too yeah? 

Graduate lo!

Hello! Yup I know I'm kind of a few days late since the result was out yesterday haha but oh well here I am! Yup I have received my results for year 3, and I am very happy with it! I passed all my modules with soaring colours haha. Well I'm happy when I received the email on iChat. I can give myself a pat on my back and tell myself "hardwork paid off" :)

With results out, that would also mean that I have (un)officially graduated! Now that my result has secured a place in the graduation ceremony (now that I have a diploma awarded yay!), I just need to wait for the graduation ceremony where I'll be on my graduation gown and feeling happy yay. Ah man, I can't believe I am finished with poly once and for all. And that soon we'll all be graduating. I think the three years have been a wonderful one.

I must say across the three years, my GPA went up and down and down and up and up and UP. I'm glad that at the end of the three years, I have "returned" back to the GPA I got when I entered SP haha. Although I didn't maintain, the hardwork I put for year 3 was enough to pull up my GPA. So I'm really glad that I managed to do so.

As many of you all may know, I'm returning back to my homeland after poly. When I tell people my decision, most of them responded in a shock, and a handful of them never fail to spit out that sentence, which I found rather unnecessary. They would say "Wah you've wasted three years man"

Please don't ever spit that sentence out to me ever.

I really don't think I have wasted my three years. I have enjoyed my three years. I have learnt a lot in my three years. I have done a lot in my three years. I have GAINED a lot in my three years. Most importantly, I am very proud that I took a path I wanted to go to three years ago - only the future knows the future anyway. But I'm glad I took this path, a path I wanted to go and no one else. For then I was sure this path was the path.

Do you really think I have wasted my three years with the GPA (not meant to boast) I have now? If I graduate with a GPA of like 2.0, fine, then I must say I wasted my three years. But no, I learnt a lot and I really don't think I have wasted my time anyway.

Besides I always believe,

The things I gained, learnt and done in the past three years are too precious to be wasted.

I'm just sick of people telling me I have wasted this and that, when they don't know me. When they don't know the path I took and the life I've lived. So well my message is, don't say things that are unnecessary. Just like the good old saying, if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all. I have a few friends who are not continuing on the field they studied and I don't tell them "hey! You've wasted three years congratulations!"

Well, life is just too short to not do the things you want to do. If you're unhappy with what you're doing now, change. Do the things you love before it gets too late.

Alright that's all from me tonight. I will talk to you soon! In the meantime,

Happy Graduation To All Year 3s!

One week

 Sunset today. 

My hometown possibly has the best sunsets ever

Hello, yes it's been one week since I got home... Last week (doh!) and well life's pretty much okay. Still trying to adapt to the new life here. I wouldn't say new but oh well I mean like "new" you get what I mean haha. And to also try to live with these new changes. Slowly but surely I'll get there. Anyway today was a great Saturday I guess?

There was an electricity shut-down in my town from 12 - 3 PM. I woke up to deafening silence. Just kidding but yes it was pretty quiet and it kinda feels nice actually. There was nothing but the sound of birds chirping and so on. Ate my brunch and as usual followed my dad to the office for a short chat. We then decided to go to the garden and this time round I promise to bring my camera.

CAUSE THE SUNSET WAS BEAUTIFUL!

Here's a few pictures I took of the sunset and some random shots we did with my sister, brother and sis-in-law! Really cool eh :D

My sis and sis-in-law jump shots

My brother jump shot! Love this one

 Lovely couple post-wedding shot mwahaha

I suck at jumpshot so this will do

Aren't the sky so lovely! Thankfully I brought my camera along with me cause there were so many times that I went here without the camera and the sky was so beautiful and I had nothing but my handphone, which takes decent photos but not so awesome ones. Plus I've not control over the handphone camera anyway :/ but oh well I'm glad I brought the camera today :)

Results will be out in about 3 days time! Are you excited? Cause I am. Hahaha. Not that I'm super confident that I will do well for my modules, just that I can't wait to taste the fruits of my labour! No matter what the taste is, but I hope with all my heart that it's going to be sweet. Cause I think I've worked hard, especially for FYP. That's the module I'm super interested about.

Well, I find it hard to find time to blog at times. Maybe I should adapt a one week one post... Or but well, I'll just blog whenever I can and whenever I find the time to. It's just weird to blog because, I don't know what to blog about. It all seems so surreal that I'm no longer a student. That's why I'm finding it hard to blog because there literally is nothing to blog about.

I definitely miss those days where I can blog about school. Funny things that happened in class, lessons or in school. Awesome experiments in labs that never fail to amaze me and so on. 

I miss those days when I blog about how much I'm going to miss those days

And to realise that those days have now turned to memories.

It's just too surreal
