the past few weekends have been extremely enjoyable for me and people have been saying its a bdae celebration month for me.. coz i did not have a bdae party so i decided to celebrate with different groups separately.. and all are staggered over the past 3 weekends.. well i did not have a party as my paternal granny left us and the world on the 4th of june...wanna sae i love her for bringing my dad to the world and eventually brought me to existence to this wonderful world with wonderful and beautiful people i have met in my life.. without her i would not be able to meet so many important people the past 21 years.. though i do not see her as often as compared to my maternal granny as she is in msia and so not as close.. i cherish her and also regret i was not there when she was gasping the last breath.. always spend time with ur grandparents wheneva u can.. dun miss all the occasions.. pay more visits when ur parents asked u to go along.. dun ever feel that it is a burden...so fast it has been 2 and a half months since she left us.. jus wanna sae rest in peace~~

well on the 13th i gave my first treat to my lovely bunch of uni frenz.. as albert pam and irene are leaving for exchange on 15th so we decided we should have a gathering before they leave.. and we had dinner at raffles city cartel..

(forgot to take while pam and irene are around!!)

(thu huong, sharmaine, me and angeline!!)

without them, ntu life would neva be the same , neva be so colourful.. all the lunches we have between lessons wheneva we can.. though our timetable now is such that we do not have lessons in the morning like the past few semesters and hence do not have lunch together as often as before..there is still the bond within us.. and we never fail to plan timetable together.. looking out for each other is just a natural thing in us..such as looking out for deadlines to meet for assignments... consulting each other for projects and work.. and the study sessions during year 1.. memorable.. still rem how long we stayed in the corner of lib 2.. how early we woke up to go chop seats in the library.. and helping each other if we came across any questions during revisions... the gossips we had while we were sian of studying or feeling too tired..not to forget the different outings we had .. the ktvs, chalet at changi aloha, east coast park, cycling from east coast to changi airport road.. another time from east coast to changi village.. adventurous trips that will always be in my mind..sometimes we would go out for lunch during breaks that are long enuff.. being sick of sch food.. albert, pam and irene would drive us out to makan wheneva possible.. miss those daes~~ hee well jus wanna sae ntu life would neva be the same without them.. thanks for the wonderful memories...

Next was dinner the following saturday with my family when my dad just asked me if i was free for dinner... though it was jus zu3 cao3 at a hawker near my house.. it was a sumptuous one! wat matters most is having spent time with my family.. long time since we went out to eat..we onli eat out during occasions.. coz my mum always likes to cook meals so seldom eat out.. i mentioned this dinner before quite recently.. anyway jus wanna thank my parents for loving me since e dae i was born.. though there were times of conflict and when i even felt so angry that i tot they do not understand me at all and do not care abt me.. when they are the ones who understand me the most in this world.. esp my mum.. dink she can see thru all my moves.. and read my mind.. scary right.. haha.. i am sure the same goes for everyone.. of coz.. coz we were part of them for 9 months before we were born!! wahaha.. ok... jus wanna sae i love them for bringing me this world, for caring and loving me for 21 long yrs no matter how naughty i am.. no matter wat happens..

27th was celebration with my beloved gals..went terra cafe at bugis junction for dinner.. friendship of 8 yrs and still counting.. thats almost a decade.. gone through the memorable st nicks daes together and without them i would not have been what i am todae.. friendship that remain strong despite going to different jcs.. frenz who understand me the most.. and dote on me alot.. sometimes i would tell myself how lucky i am to have such supportive frenz who care about me..and ask myself what if i did not meet them.. the experiences we had together in st nicks moulded our characters.. moulded us to what we are now.. we bring along our values even after graduated .. looking through the movie all of them made for me.. many events flashed through my mind.. we see each other grow up.. and this doesnt end here!! there is still a long long way to go.. and deep down our hearts we know we are there for each other.. its definitely not easy to jot down 8 yrs of memories in just one entry.. jus wanna sae we are frenz for life~~

pei shan aka duckie, the best ah bu!! (besides my mum..haha), ye pei shan, daDa, me and hanWei!!

There are so many people that made my 21 years colourful and meaningful besides those i mentioned above.. miss shuyang so much who is miles away from all of us now..and yufang!! i have always felt i was so lucky to have buddies living so near my house.. the list just goes on and on.. dun worry if i did not mention u coz i jus wanna thank everyone who have left footprints in my life at any point in time.. coz all these are pieces of puzzle that form up my life for the past 21 years .. Arigato!!!

sometimes its hard to come to a consensus, an agreement, a decision or any thing of this sort within a group.. everyone is different and has their own preferences, views of things, dislikes and likes, hence it is hard to get everyone to agree on the same thing.. the onli way is to compromise within the group.. the bigger the group the more difficult things are.. this has always been wat i felt..but now i feel its not always abt the size..its the combination of the preferences of each individual.. the easy going ness which is crucial for a group activity to be carried out that is more important than anything else.. of coz we have to take into account each's busy schedule.. thats difficult too.. however every group's level of easy going ness is different.. and hence the willingness to compromise differs.. ppl always tell me u cant always please everyone.. which i always hope to which makes life miserable.. my parents.. frenz tell me the same thing.. if u are in control of things jus decide on something and the rest will be fine with it.. things r not as simple.. in any case there has to be someone to come up with the best plan after gathering everyone's schedule and preferences.. and no matter how good is a plan there will be pple who cant make it or unhappy with the plan.. this is unavoidable..
have u ever tried pleasing everyone and felt miserable at the end of the dae coz everyone have clashing opinions.. i dink my weakness is always putting up a strong front and smiling at everyone.. pleasing everyone, not knowing how to reject pple , always trying to compromise thinking if no one steps back or gives in, no one will.. tired of always smiling at everyone... have u eva felt this way b4?

it has been 2 weeks since school reopened.. why does time pass so quickly.. cant imagine how it feels when i am out in the corporate world in one yr's time.. come to think of it.. i am afraid.. i dun dink i am ready for all the stress and expectations of us fresh graduates at the workplace .. and all "battlefield" descriptions of the working world and office politics makes it dreadful to leave school and step into the real world for life.. sometimes i am afraid to grow up.. i feel that i am not matured enough to face the harsh reality or to handle difficult things at hand.. and i always being ignorant of many things around me.. which i dink its bad.. this means i not inobservant and not able to adapt to fast changes .. like wat thu huong saes gonna be 21 le.. cant be blur le.. another thing i would miss about sch life would be the lingering in sch with frenz after lessons..the harmless gossips we have before, during or after class (oops.. seems like we r gossiping all e time! haha..) ..looking out for each other in sch..outings with frenz which wld be more diff when we go out to work.. i would miss the pure school daes.. the pure friendships..it may seem quite some time before another 12 months arrive .. but the earth jus spins so fast that i dun dare to imagine the daes ahead ..

well.. enuff of the worries.. thinking of yest evening when i went out with my family to have dinner.. although its jus a simple dinner near our house... the feeling was great~ it has been a long time since we went for dinner and walk ard after that.. the feeling of taking a walk ard though its jus in the neighbourhood is realli heartwarming.. sometimes i would wonder young people nowadays including me spend more time with frenz rather than family.. we subconsiously place frenz above our family.. always organising gatherings with frenz but rarely spend quality time with family..do u have the same sentiments?
