Can you believe this? As soon as I've finished typing the previous post, my emotions toward the start of a new semester took a 180 degree turn. How fickle-minded can I be. Over the next few days, I was feeling upset about having to start school and handling the workload that is about to come. BUT, (as you would have guessed),the mood changed again. After reading friends' blogs, talking to them and all, I have realised that maybe starting school is not so bad afterall. For some of them, school is the time when they will do something productive, and feel useful. For some others, a new semester means a new opportunity to work harder and pull up their CAP. For yet another group, they may dread school and I feel better and happier knowing that there are people out there like me. That's the sadist side of me, I know.
Anyway, I just thought that friends are essential for one to like going to school and they sure make school more fun and interesting. Time will past more slowly if not for them. And, I've also thought of more ways to make school more interesting.
1. Declare your own "Wear a dress to school" day, and get your friends to wear dresses.
2. Meet up your friends from other fac for lunch or dinner, and catch up on their lives...
3. Study with a group; this make studying for fun...
Any more suggestions, anybody?
And now, I declare this year as the Year of Parties. Lots of parties will be coming up for the rest of the year.

Have been busy for the past few days though I'm not at all sure what I'm up to... maybe it's because of the fact that sch's starting next wk that I feel that time passes especially fast. Perhaps.
But I'm kind of busy too... meeting up with friends, spending time with mum, and oh, I just helped my mum with the chinese new year cakes this morning... (yesterday morning actually). It just dawned upon me recently that most of my conversations with friends (be it school friends, or pple from church, cell or crusade) were steered in a particular directions... gone were the days when we spent time talking about tv, teachers, families. We talk about plans for our near future and stuff like that and it was during these times that I realised that I'm unlike many of my friends. It was a choice that I've chosen the moment I signed on the dotted line. I wouldn't say that it is a bad choice. It's just that while many of my friends are busy searching and trying their hands at everything they can, (so that they will ultimately and hopefully find out what they enjoy doing and make that their future) I'm like there, not able to really understand why they are doing that. Things will be different if not for that signature. But I guess this isn't that bad either. I don't think I want to spend my entire uni life worrying about my job prospects and so on... I rather focus on my studies knowing that I'll have a job when I graduate. I don't like uncertainties.
But it isn't that I don't plan my future as well. These days, I feel like doing a master's degree after my bond or maybe even while serving my bond (if I can...). Up till only recent times, I seriously doubt that I'll go beyond my degree. But I guess there's really no harm in studying more. What's more, many people (such as in Taiwan if I'm not mistaken) do their masters' immediately after their degree. So I guess that a master will eventually become a passport for a brighter future soon. I don't know...
Writing about these things make me want to pick up my books and study now. Don't you feel like doing that also?

Happy New Year!
It seems that everyone's talking about making resolutions this season. I have mine of course, but i'm not going to make it known here in case you catch me breaking them haha. And it's time to plan for the new semester... what modules to take and all... oh, see all of you when sch starts sometime this month.
Have a Blessed 2008.

In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps.

This will probably be the last post of the year... Hope everyone has achieved what they set out to achieve by now... if not, there's only a few hours to go... haha, if that helps. Anyway, hope that everyone has had a wonderful 2007 and will have a great 2008. Happy New Year.
