it's super cute to see people around me grow up, be it my siblings or nephews or cousins or even juniors who are only a year younger than i am. all of a sudden, where's that brat who irritated the hell out of me in what seemed like only yesterday, cos all i see is this grown up young lady. and since when was he walking, i swear he was crawling just yesterday!
there was a point in time where we wanted to grow up quickly cos we wanted to be free from parents' control and to be able to stay out late without being nagged at. but now, we realise that freedom comes at a price. and that is stress. be it stressed at studies or work or home. of couse now for me (and most of you reading) it would be studies. really sucks to watch that pile of to-do-items (tutorials readings etc) increase constantly even though we're already doing our best to keep up. i don't wanna grow up!
anw it's been kinda back to basics for me this past week. the basics of my religion, the basics of God etc. (is there even such a thing?) but i really thank God for all the moments He's reminded me and 'scolded' me for neglecting Him. for sending an unexpected friend to remind me about how i'm never alone cos He's always near me. for the week's lesson in my bible study book reminding me of God's awesome power in a period when i'm stressing over knowing nuts about IT or FM.
so yes even though i'm still worried about IT (i'm really such a noob just ask my group mates i'm so sorry you guys are stuck with incompetent me) and FM, i know God will help me through this sem. just like He did last sem. just like He has done all my life. (:
faith and trust.awesome day at escape with bf today! haha. lots of screaming and firsts and laughing and freaking out and getting wet. :P
perfect weekends for shitty weekdays.

found this on post secret (yes i go there and read other people's secrets when i'm bored) and i think it so totally reflects how i feel about uni. not that i wanna punch any of you in the face when you ask me whether i'm having fun in uni. it's just that i'm not. not having fun that is. and the questions just hurt and remind me all the more.
anw i lugged like 10kg of stuff all over school today. my laptop which is like 2.4kg (which i thought was the average weight of all laptops under 2k till i came to ntu and discovered there are affordable laptops that weigh only 1.7kg :P), 2 (very thick and heavy) textbooks which also cost more than a hundred dollars, plus my crumpler of other stuff. but a half stranger and a stranger totally made my day when the former helped carry my laptop till he had to leave and the latter saw me struggling with my stuff and ran forward to open a door for me.
i realised it's always strangers who make my day when im having a bad one. really thank God for sending these people my way though i might never see them again.
i'm gonna have to start taking things into my own hands. if not i'm gonna fail fm.
the more i study the more i don't want to. anw my sister who's waiting for her alevel results considered taking accountancy but changed her mind recently. and i supported her. still thinking about that early childhood education degree. haha. oops.
i wanna get back to the old days when the phone would ring and i knew it was you.

for most people, no life is the price you pay for good grades. unless you're already born smart of course. but then that wouldn't put you under 'most people' right. haha. my sister got back her olevels results today and didn't do very well (but still well) and i dunno if she's upset cos she didn't match up to her elder sisters but seriously, i look at her and i do envy her. because she definitely had a more fun filled school life than i did. looking back, i sometimes wonder if i devoted too much time to studying, and if i could've had more fun doing other things. there's the trade-off i guess, between good grades and your social life.
and i've been looking at the 'after olevels' guide that came with today's newpaper and i was pretty interested in the early childhood education section. wonder if i can get a degree in that after i complete my accountancy one. anyone knows?
anw i'm so dead for this sem. financial management is SUPER hard. and i haven't done my accounting and business law tutorials yet.
oh yeah go watch ponyo people. it's absolutely hilarious. i laughed till i cried while watching it. hahahaha. only for girls though i highly doubt guys will enjoy it. even if it was a guy who recommended the show to me. haha.
looking forward to chinese new year!
