OH MY GOD THE SEM HAS STARTED, OFFICIALLY.
apologies for not updating, for those who thought i disappeared. firstly, this post is dedicated to all who played some part on my birthday, and every single one who remembered and wished me. was really really happy on that day. after all it marks an end to a year so eventful that i could remember its every facet and every detail.
for 2009, i travelled abroad to places like hong kong, macau and KL. i attended camps that were so endearing i just wished it could happen over and over again. i ended my term in serving the army, which i learnt so many invaluable lessons. i forged new friendships, even though some are beyond contact now due to circumstances. it is just, all so memorable..
the term hope, seems so unjustifiable since it hasn't been the source of fulfillment in life for most people. 100% action, 0% talk. yes thats on the cover of the notebook weikit has given us, and i guess that would be the resolution for this year. for the most parts of 2009, procrastination dealt me dearly, and it still felt as if there are apologies i still owe people, favours unreturned, and thankyous left unsaid. yes, 2010 would be the year of more resolute decision-making, a more resilient mind, a mind that isnt so much overwhelmed by emotions.
looking at the amount of readings on my desk now, i can't help but comment that this semester looks really daunting, what with hall activities and and so on. and nash just spoke to me about going for dance auditions, should i? this is a year full of challenges, like scaling the highest mountain on earth. perseverance shall triumph, and i really really hope that this is a year of i'd see change :D

erm.. hi, my name is zihao. yes, one semester of university concluded, after the release of results on the 22nd. i mugged hard, and the exams went rather smoothly, and i sort of expected an average grade since i didnt do well for my midterms. up till the loading of the results page, i was still rather optimistic. and to my chagrin, i got a less than average grade. i took it with real dismay seriously, even with so many words of encouragement from around, which i really appreciated.
this just wasnt the perfect start to university education.. ohwell, i guess i havent put in enough effort this semester, and yess, two weeks till we hit the restart button, and i can only tell myself that working harder is the only option. really, i swear i'll study hard next sem.
what a christmas present this year..every christmas, i'll count down to the last days before my age count jumps by one. its a rather bittersweet feeling; sweet when friends celebrate my birthday together, bitter when you know you know you're getting older and there is this responsibility if you do stupid things. i volunteered for CDAC recently. the kids are soooo cute. how i wish i was i was still young again, so many things unfulfilled in life. if only we are aware of your interests when we were young, then at least its not too late to pursue them..
tuition's tough! for a p2 kid hahaha.
blessed christmas everyone! haha trip to m'sia in three days! can't wait! :DD carlsberg rocks

and finally the first of results, of the very first of exams, presented to me in front of my screen. i admit my reaction was nonchalant, cause the real deal comes this 22nd. the day i don't know what to expect..
the 9pm serial drama, 'Together', depicts life in the 60s, of a closely-knit household of four families living under one roof. its very much like hall life, minus the bitchy landlord, street gangsters and bribery. yes, if its possible to turn back time, i wouldn't mind life in the 60s seriously hahaha
omg i drove a lorry yesterday! and a million thanks to kaiyin for your gift! :DD
i wish i were able to travel this holidays. i feel i really need a breather, before it all begins again.

I FEEL LIKE DANCING RIGHT NOW.
omg who knew hall during holidays would be so empty, like a ghost town. i guess i'm too used to being with the company of friends, its just this empty feeling now. i think i really need a holiday to take a breather.
and i just accepted tuition! one pri 2 and pri 5 kid. hope it'll all work out cause i'm quite nervous in teaching since its my first time. what an experience it would be, to relegate the mind to immaturity of a primary 2 child, who have not even mastered conservation. bought assessment books today! haha cute lah, the questions.
so much to ponder about. so much to hesitate.
so much for it being the holidays.
haha congrats to mel koh on winning the queen of queens! :DD

exams over!! 'it was a hard-fought battle,' says me. guess uni studies isn't as simple as i thought it would be, and its not something that extreme faith and confidence can help. the holiday period will be damn short! ohmygosh-ly. and its time to think, recap what has happened over the past months, and most imptly enjoy as much as i could hahaha (before we hit the reset button and another semester beckons).
caught 2012 recently. how weak is humankind. you realise that people struggle in times of adversity, and to find a serene haven in which to reconcile with normalcy, people go to extreme measures. sometimes you really wish the world would end, just to see who the wolves and the cocksters are.
and Case 39 was one hell of a movie, to think a tiny little girl could scare 5 guys out of their seats. thought the show was quite well done though, depicting the work of a social worker. somtimes i wonder if i picked the right profession for myself, since the decision indeed lay in my hands one year ago when i applied for this course. it is after all a tough, demanding job, that at the end of the day, brings a smile to your client. that itself, i guess its all worthwhile. its like celebrating birthdays, the day you could actually tease them like crazy, and being part of his or her birth anniversary. and mine soon, i guess its just this inherent feeling of people hating to grow old hahaha
hahaha. ATTEMPTED to fly a kite today. but, epic fail. hahhaa the wind was hiding itself.
its sad when you get past life's various phases, people come and go like dono wad. its like the traffic light; at red, you stop, make friends and socialize; at amber, each phase approaches its end, and you prepare to move on; at green, you move on to the next traffic light and the cycle repeats. how true is that, unless you make substantial effort, like disabling the traffic light such that it stays at red..
have you ever thought wad if you had grown up in the slums,
how different would your life be right now.
and if you had grown up in a filthy rich family,
how different would that be?
sigh, i wish life was easier, or at least more straightforward. guess its like wad Mitch Albom tells the rest of the world,
have a little faith.

yes. the feeling of going into an exam not fully prepared, which shouldnt be the way to begin with. and all i have to say is that university's standard hasnt been easy in the first place, and today's paper kinda pawned my ***. then i wonder if i should s/u this module since i've the chance to, and if it were to pull down my overall cap. but should up? next up, Pl1101E on wednesday! all the best! to me.
hmms. been thinking of how should i celebrate my 21st. hahaha
