Everything has been ok so far, thank God:D

It was supposed to be a discussion on Aceh's freedom movement during SEA tutorial today, and somewhere along the way we drifted off...

Person A:"University life is so boring, oh man."
Person B:"Yea, plus its so competitive here, whats the point really."
Person C: "Yea...*agrees fervently*",

then turns to me...waiting for me to agree...and I guess i just had nothing much to agree with. They gave me a very surprised look and immediately asked if I was in hall.. haha so smart people these days are. Like how they immediately ask if im going to be teacher when they know im going to major in History!

thats just because university life has definitely NOT been boring for me...in fact quite alot has happened since the start of school, and I just wish all my old friends from vjc were here to share it with me, although I still attempt to articulate some of which becomes less meaningful when articulated...
Most important of all, I think I've grown quite a fair bit since everything started,
Academics have just been half of my life; training - running and running (failing sometimes) and me questioning my own ability and my own commitment towards running quite a bit; my injury to my leg which made me pretty demoralized and helpless after forcing myself to train while trying to stretch the pain away, in the impossible hope that it would heal in the end; but getting over it;D; hall life which can quite consume quite a bit time-wise and socially; but finding my own discipline and group of friends i know i'd want to walk through this journey with; getting into committees and deciding to be more pro-active by joining more things like Road Race and Chingay in hall; trying out for something and getting the God-given opportunity I thought beyond myself-committee for WMYC for USP; and of course pulling myself away from more tempting committments like more committments in USP and Arts; deciding not to pursue music in Uni anymore (but of course still doing it externally every sunday:D); getting skinner not by choice (side-effects of hall food);becoming a little more lack-of-sleep tolerant; being slightly more concerned for my best friends (a few out of quite a number who came to NUS) like cheering them up when they are down, because when they are happy i am happy:D; maintaining a out-of-hall and school rls; basically getting out alot from this invaluable experience.

I guess life could be boring if i didnt put myself into these circumstances. but then again, Im highly doubtful of that. I mean, I had a hard time settling down in hall at first, because I couldnt tear myself from the old lifestyle i had - the wonderful East, meeting up w the people only going to Aust next year, going Batam, late nights out with mouse and the rest, spending sufficient time with my family etc.
I guess sacrifices have to be made if you want more good things to come...Im glad im seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and it seems to be drawing nearer everyday.

Hall is fun, even better now that (mostly) everyone respects me for who I am, I am blessed to be on 4th floor.
I am blessed to be in C block because I've learnt so much more reality and how life is, ever since IBG till now...
im blessed to be in a very non-judgmental faculty USP:D (im always not there, but they know im crafting out something over here in hall:D)
im blessed to have such good friends in NUS - abc,vee, mama, ex-iras colleagues, fellow moe ts
im blessed to have found a pretty solid grp of friends in hall and block
im blessed, im blessed, im blessed.

I know its futile to say this, but I wish things would just stay this way.
but of course wishes mayn't always be practical.

p.s: today the cross people were planning the dec trip, i can't go, cos of dubai+egypt for super long with my family! sad but still excited for my trip:D
