歸來

I'm back!!! again...


It seems that I've been kept out of my home for the past few weeks; feels like I've come back so many times already... This time is for good, I hope... At least for another 3 more months... Oh, there seems to be a chalet during April, so I know I won't be home forever...

About this trip back to my mother's hometown, I'll be damned if I didn't go back... No one told me its my cousin's wedding!?! I am glad I went back this vacation, saw a lot of my relatives, which means lots of "ang baos"... This is the first time in my life I got so many red packets, but that's beside the point... I am really happy to see everyone, or at least most of them, all of which I haven't see for years... My cousins had grown more pretty/handsome and taller... Damn... At least no one realised how old I was until I had to remind them, those little cousins thought we were only one or two years (6 to 7 years in actual fact) apart!!! Oh well, can't say its always a nice thing...

I could recognise everyone, though not by their names, but most couldn't recognise me... :'( I used to be fat and wore ugly spectacles; shouldn't be too much of a difference right? Anyway, after so many years, I've finally learnt how to talk to people... Had fun talking and playing with everyone, though I don't remember Cinny being so violent...

My violent cousin Cinny...

No pictures as of yet, 3 different cameras at 3 different locations... Gonna take a while to gather them on this computer...

新開始

A new beginning does not mean the past did not happen; it only means you have gotten over it...


Well, its a new year now... Somehow I'm not excited, and I'm pretty sure that's because my house is empty with only me and my cousin... Everyone left for Malaysia yesterday morning... And then the second reason - I'll be leaving tonight as well... Weida is holding a party at his house tomorrow, then there's Esprimere outing on Tuesday... Haizz... I'll really love to go...

Tentatively, I'll be back latest next Sunday evening... The bus ticket has already been booked, though I'm finding ways to come back earlier... This is the most boring Lunar New Year I've experienced...

童年

You know childhood is over when a puddle seems like an obstacle instead of an opportunity...


During the lecture today, our lecturer talked about "Wizard of Oz" system and asked us to guess what it is... I realised I had totally no idea what it was... The only thing I know about "Wizard of Oz" is there is a lion, tin man (or was it a scarecrow?) plus a little girl and some others in the party... I have no idea how it starts or even what the story is about... Guess I have to go back and study my kiddy stories...

Was sick again last night... This time it was not as bad, I knew it was coming and went to sleep before I feel the full-blown effects... But its a total waste of my life to sleep at 8pm... Hopefully its fully cured now; on and off sickness like this is very irritating...

情人節

Valentine's Day or Singles Awareness Day?


Today is just another plain boring day; make it a public holiday and maybe I'll do something different... Valentine's Day hasn't had any impact in my life - I've never been in a relationship during this period...

Today I just went to school not expecting anything... I didn't bring my sweater thinking that I'm not so susceptible to cold anymore... Guess I over estimated my training during reservist; as I boarded the bus, I knew I'll be frozen meat today...

Lectures are getting more deserted these days, I wonder what happened during the few weeks of my absence... With lesser people in the lecture theatre, the temperature will drop lower as well... Now that I'm typing this, its obvious that I survived, but it was a tough battle...

Speaking of battles, I've spent many "nights" battling in Neverwinter... Don't really understand how this game appeals me and I wonder how long it'll keep me hooked on...

Well, hope everyone have a nice day today be it singles or attached... Meanwhile, there's a civilisation waiting for their saviour in Neverwinter...

從生

Mind over matter...


It seems like I've been wallowing in my own misfortunes for the past few months... Where has the optimistic and always cheerful me gone to? Well, is gonna stop now... I'm back!!! Those who hate me would hate me even more cause I'm more potent than before... Those who love me? That's up to you to decide...

I was sick last night, something I haven't experienced in a long, long while... Maybe it is to signify my revival? Still ain't feeling perfect right now...

There's a lot of school work for me to catch up to... My project is still at a standstill; I still have 3½ of an assignment to complete before 3rd March... Life's gonna be tough for this few weeks... Its a good thing I'm back to my optimistic self...

You Are 73% Thankful

You are a very thankful person - for both the big and little things in life.
Your optimism is powerful. Getting through hard times is fairly easy for you.

故鄉景依舊,環視人不識

Where you return to may not be what you return to...


You Are 76% Peaceful

You are a very peaceful person. All is good in your world, no matter what's going on.
Occasionally you let your problems get to you, but you generally remain upbeat.
Your inner strength is inspirational - much more so than you may realize.


I'm back, and it seems like I've lost more than I have gained... I may have gained new friends, but is it worth at the cost of old ones? Things feel very different now and I don't even know why... I've missed 21 hours worth of lectures and that would be difficult to catch up on... Some strong motivation would be needed to overcome the inertia...

If given the choice, I would choose not to have gone for this reservist even though it is a "high key"... This is my first in-camp and I have already been chosen to take over the company when the current CSM leaves... I tried to keep a low profile by talking to only one person but still I'm singled out... Don't really like to make decisions these days; don't understand what everyone sees in me that makes them trust their lives in my hands... Seems like I'll have to learn how to keep a lower profile... There was a supernatural sighting during one of the nights but I'll talk about it some other day... Let me drown in my own sorrows for now...
