greener on the other sideeverything looks so easy in theory but it's so damn hard to apply it!
so so so... things are finally settling down for the job hunt.
been wanting to post about it, but being the very pantang me and not wanting to jinx myself,
i try not to talk about anything until it is finalised.
but the agony of having to wait for replies really kills!
it's the so near yet so far. just makes me even more impatient than i already am.
and H*R* people are quite jian4!
must keep reminding myself to be more wary of people in the office!
anyways, it's just quite exciting to be able to get an offer before you graduate. heehee.
one of the boliao goals i set for myself.
you know just wanna satisfy your ego.
even if the offer may not be the best in the market.
caffeine acting up in my body. gotta go prepare for the last examination of my formal educational years! and then kiss goodbye to studying! (at least for the next few years) :D

midas touchwhoa, just realised that i've really lost touch with almost all friends.
i kinda get a little envious when i see pics of friends with their groups of buddies at a restaurant, a party, or an event.
and wonder, where have all my friends disappeared to?
or just maybe, i have disappeared from their worlds.
not that i'm upset about it, just feeling a little sad.
mostly sad for myself i guess. that i never really cherished my friends very much.

happy belated birthday to mei guess this can be considered one of the happiest birthdays in my life thus far.
(not forgetting the loud and big celebrations that we had in crescent)
for a day, i felt so 幸福。
i received presents early from al and ei, which included the really touching video...
(so i've never teared so much from watching a video. i really appreciated the effort. knowing your character, to do such a video really showed how much i meant to u. thankyou.)
it was just a simple affair with na, sz and sean.
dinner at a nice homely japanese restaurant followed by drinks at a dempsey bar on a chilly night.
it's kinda odd how happy i felt receiving smses from long-forgotten friends,
friends whom i barely speak to on a regularly basis,
close friends, acquaintances.
that short sweet sms from the matriarch further made my day.
it's like for that moment, i forgot all about the untolerable nagging/scolding which she is known for, and felt like i had the best mom in the world.
like which mother tells you to buy anything(anything!) that you've been longing for, and that it'll be sponsored by your parents?
those facebook scrawls too, added to the happiness level.
but of course there were those few people from whom I'd hoped for just a little birthday wish, but never did come.
used to feel quite upset when those people whom i treasure forget my birthday,
but i've since grown i guess.
what matters most are the people who are living in my life now.
been on a rather low energy level these few weeks.
really don't know why... feels like some health issue obstructing my body from functioning at its best.
or just maybe the lack of exercise.
like i've got quite a couple of pending group projects, and group members are either very busy or not particularly enthusiastic about it.
and so we just leave it status quo, till the last minute comes where we'll hug buddha's leg for our dear lives.
i need to recall the fun&stress-relieving moments in taiwan, and remind myself that i promised to work hard for it's my very last sem in school.
i need to recall the days of dreading going to work only to sit at another colleagues desk reading 3 months' old papers and magazines the entire day, and how i craved for a textbook to read.
life is good, but i'm not maxing out the time i have!
comparing my life to na's life, it feels like i'm leading a very self-centred stagnant life.
not performing to the potential i'm capable of.
i know i'm better than this, and i know i can be better to my loved ones.
probably need some shocking/painful experience to jolt my senses.
you need to pull up your socks and buck up!

hometalking to wanzhen made me realise how much I've been hiding from everybody.
okay, not as in "hiding secrets" kinda hiding, but literally hiding.
i.e. not replying smses or facebook wall scrawls.
*sorry to jackie, my dearest dearest room-mate!
since school started, I've just been wanting to go home all the time.
like there's this unexplainable pull to my home;
i've been feeling quite lethargic these days too, of which the blame I would like to push to r e sea r c h intl for giving me very long and tiring jobs.
i guess the weather is to blame too.
it's been so nice to stay in the past few days when it was raining.
having a cup of hot soya bean in one hand whilst flipping the papers with the other, with the sound of the rain pitter-pattering on your roof just makes one feel glad to be safe at home.
so this is my last semester in NUS already.
and now's the mad rush to forward the CV to X no. of companies.
damn sian. i really dislike the editing cover letter part.(maybe because i hate writing)
and then if the company never get back to you, totally waste time la!
anyways, don't try, never know.
found a couple of interesting job scopes.
really hope i can at least get shortlisted for an interview.
the only things keeping me going now are Kang Xi and possible travel plans in december. :))
tokyo? manila? US? canada?
and how can i forget my good ol' friends who never forget me, despite irritating me being MIA.
it was rather nice catching up with seok, rui and appi that friday night.
i think i'm quite a lousy friend. not bothering to keep up-to-date with my friends' lives.
but whatever makes me happy right?
missing xh and her funny sisters. and her really cute parents too. it's like a daily sitcom at her place.
xh mum(in hokkien) as she pulls out Chip(the squirrel) from a plastic bag:
"what is this? is this E.T. a not?"
xh sisters(in hokkien) rolling on the bed laughing:
"no! this is not E.T. la, this is a squirrel!"
the reason why she thought it was E.T. was cos she was looking at Chip upside down. haha.

choo-choothe trains here don't go choo-choo, but it still is a real train through and through.
one with no doors, with people hanging out from the door.
with enterprising men and women selling a whole lot of useful stuff, from tap filters to passport holders to flowers to snacks.
