dusting the dust off the glass

3 weeks into school. Haven’t been penning down things as much as i would like to, so i’d just settle with a summary

  1. Hue Dreams VIII have super mixed feelings about planning for the project. But things are kind of, kinddddd of, settling into place one by one, step by step. Certainly hope that things would turn out better! While i do not wish for fireworks dreams to realise from this project, my sincerest hope is for everyone to appreciate the effort each individual forks into the OCSP. An OCSP is built upon team effort and no individual’s effort should be taken for granted. Appreciation is not just a key in this project but the key to every thing in life. I hope the new batch will feel the same as i do.
  2. Going back to schoolTo be back in school sucks. Feeling a lot more positive for this semester than the start of last semester i guess! Really motivated to do better for this sem so that if, i am going for exchange then at least, i can go with a greater peace of mind. But so far, said motivation has really been more of a verbal kind, rather than one that is displayed through action. 3 weeks of school and work load is piling at the back of my mind.
    Reminder to self: time to get it cleared before it gets unmanageable.
  3. ExchangeExchange, what a big headache and a big boo boo. Left my application to the eleventh hour and the system crashed on me. Never ever gonna trust any system or OASIS specifically. Just glad that i got a second chance to apply and that my last minute mistake was for something rather trivial, otherwise i would not forgive myself! Applied for Austria – Graz, Milan, Paris and the last choice i really cannot remember. Just hope i make it into either of my first two.

 

winter glass half filled

its theeee half way mark into winter break! time flies. i do not want winter to come to an end for 2 major reason.. first i reaaally do not want to go back to studying everyday, especially since i have zero inclination towards next semester’s modules. secondly, i do not want to get my grades back.. im just happy with how things are status quo.. live each day happily and luckily

So far it seems like winter break has been extremely packed with activities. which is kinda good because i feel like im maximising my time, yet at the same time i feel a tad guilty for not being home more.

anyways,

Week 1 – malacca with nat and eeks

Malacca was surprisingly interesting and some what fun! maybe its the company? i have been looking to go to malacca for the longest time since i saw julius’s milk crab bee hoon instagram post last year. Even though we did not get to try the crab we managed, i’m still happy the trip realised and to have tried many different other stuffs! some hits like the fried squid and some misses like the awful carrot cake.  i’m not sure if i’d like to go back to malacca soon though.

Week 2 – YEP training

YEP Training was, hmm novel? i felt pretty lucky to have been able to attend the training with a bunch of ITE lecturers. i’m not sure about eeks. and in hindsight, pretty glad we did not attend blossom with charles and xx :p im happy to have met people i would otherwise have not met in my normal social circle. i was really touched to see how passionate and committed some of these teachers are. yet at the same time, some lecturers made me question the quality of education at ITE. while i understand that it is tertiary and extremely technical based, teachers still play an extremely important towards the students’ learning. then again, if given a choice i believe most would go to comfortable poly to teach than to handle a rebellious bunch at ite :/

Week 3 – Taiwan

glass half broken

My glass is half broken. This is almost the first time i have put so much effort into something but it has not translated and will not be translating to a happy end. I thought about it long and hard and i feel what happened was due to my character or maybe, just a bad strategy employed. I’d like to believe that its the latter.. but thats difficult because this is not the first time i have neglected something for (imaginary) complacency. And i am taking it so hard upon myself because this also not the second time such has happened. It is the third. Some people think that it is really silly to be ranting about a bad grade but these people are just scrapping the surface of my intents. It is more of that realisation that you have never learned from the past. Its about an expectation wrecked because you were given the chance to fight for something but you did not cherish it.

That is finance im talking about. If i do get a mediocre grade for fra, which is extremely likely, then i’ll accept it because i have done my (i’d like to think of) my best. But finance, i just do not know what to expect out of it.

My glass is and will always be half full

Hello world! Its time to start afresh 🙂 Alottttt of changes have taken place since i moved out of this place. Some of which are memories i hold very close to and i wish i had penned them down then and there, while there are others which i wish i could undo. Hmm like what kimya dawson sang “Life is a highway and I’m gonna ride it, Every day’s a winding road yeah, My rollercoaster’s got the biggest ups and downs, As long as it keeps goin’ round it’s unbelievable” soo i’ll just keep going~!!! yeap 🙂
