Be the best that you can be, but still yourself.





It is true that your attitude at the start of the day will determine how your day turns out to be like.

I'm thankful. I met Shirleen under a void deck after a swim and lunch with Angie. I can say it's almost ages that I last chatted with Shirleen like this. Just two of us, somewhere quiet, share some things that have been hidden for so long. Even if not hidden, they were not known. It was nice, really :)

We cannot underestimate the power of time. It creates changes, even though often, the change is in ourselves. I remember what Joel said, when the worst times are over, don't forget the people who bring you up. Even though I probably haven't really gone through times which are considered "worst" in my life, I'm appreciative of the people who are there to listen, to understand whenever I think life sucks.

Thank you Nelson. You're one of a kind. The world can crumble but I know you will still be there. Because you don't reply my ":(" message with "Why". You reply with a "take care".

Thank you Zi Rui. I know that no matter how attractive the prizes are, you will complete the race with me! (Even though you might grumble that I'm a burden to you.)

Thank you Darren. You understand me. I think that is good enough.

Thank you Christopher. Please don't think you did nothing. I've always looked up to you as a role model. And your optimism really encourages me to stay positive.

Thank you Coconut and Starfruit. We've not known for that long, but I'll always remember your "true test of friendship". I'm really touched.

Thank you Ohana! I look back and I find myself very annoying. Well yes, I like to compare and I have a lot of expectations for you all. You guys have moulded me and I'm still changing, for the better :)





And thank you for having once been the reason why I'm hopeful about my life.

On CNY

This CNY, I realised many things. I realised I have always envied families who go out as a whole for CNY visiting, or those who invite many relatives and friends over. I realised I am very afraid of the coming of CNY because CNY simply means watching movies and slacking at home for me. I love to watch movies, there is no doubt about that. Perhaps I just don't appreciate the latter because there is so much to face head-on. I hate the silence or otherwise awful hurlings at the dining table. I hate how I need to pretend to be hospitable to people I dislike. This year, I hid in my room when people I did not feel comfortable with came, then I was accused of being stubborn and impolite. Sometimes I really wonder if being myself is of imperative or being polite is. Whichever the case, I want to confess that I really feel tired and unhappy this CNY. The worst is that I feel that no one can understand because everyone I tried to rant this to tells me I should go home because it is CNY after...

On campus,

I think even if I were to leave after this semester, I would probably leave with the fondest memories. What more can I ask for? On a side note, I hope and I choose to believe that my true friends will understand, and so I do not want to explain. Today is my best friend's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BF! I know you know I am damn stubborn and rebellious and whiny and spoiled and noisy and choosy but you always compromise with me and give in to me in every way you can. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! I hope you will always be happy because you deserve to be. I hope you will gamble less so that you can treat me food more often. I hope you will be blessed because you are special :) I know I am such a sweet best friend! 加油了GL,不要再蹉跎歲月了…
