Blah. School started. Why is this my second entry in a row talking about the same thing? Cos when you are an smu student, school term gives you no life but school, school, and more school. Yeah.

But ok lah, got to meet up with all my friends in school. Been too long since I could walk along the school concourse and just see familiar faces everywhere. But its getting weird though, cos this year the guys in my batch come into uni, and I really see vaguely familiar people around. I'm not sure if they are people I've seen from JC, or just random faces that I have been seeing around school for the past 2 years. This is a really weird feeling, and sometimes I would find this person so familiar that I will stare quite long. I think the person sometimes think I look familiar too, so there will be this awkward silence before we decide to just walk away. Haha.

Or maybe its just me? I'm not sure, cos I'm the kind who usually wouldn't say hi unless I'm quite sure I know the person. PLUS I have a little stml, so I usually don't recognise people that I don't talk to in my classes the previous term. So they will again be delegated to that category of people labelled "Vaguely Familiar Faces"! I think half the world is in that category, since I tend to remember faces more than names. :p

So anyway, to all the Year 1s this year (NTU, SMU, NUS, wherever), hope school is fun, though its more likely to be stressful and all, so you guys will finally know what we have been going through for the past 2 years!

OMG. School has officially started!

Ok maybe not really, since I did not have class on Mondays. Nevertheless, I went to school! For what purpose I am not exactly sure, haha. But it did help me get back into the mood for school, which had been but a distant memory for me during the holidays.

Without even starting any classes, readings have already started to come in and pile up. Yes, PILE UP. This is mad. I think I have given myself lots of homework this term, since it seems like most of my profs are trigger-happy when it comes to sending attachments of tonnes of readings. Its definitely correct to say that school HAS started.

I think I am stressing myself up, since I seem to be repeating myself. lol. But I really think this would be quite a busy term, even without much CCA commitments. And my boss from the company I did internship with keeps asking me to go back to work part time. As much as I would like to just shout a big fat no, its hard. She's so nice and I feel bad that her workload has more than doubled after we (as in the 2 interns) left the company. But I also don't want to compromise on my grades, since I promised myself that I would concentrate on school work this term. Argh. Commitments.

Despite my complaints, I am really glad to be back. Haha. There's no place I'll rather be, to quote Kit Chan, than to be in school. Really. :)

A Letter to You

Dear You,

I'm not sure if you realise its you I'm talking about. I have been thinking about this long and hard, and I believe its time someone told you what we are feeling.

First off, none of us expect you to put us in first place in your life; everyone who has known you for 1 day knows who that space belongs to, perhaps even the next ten spaces are reserved for people associated with the person in first place. All we have wanted from you was just attendance, and I must say, the times when you deign it fit to grace us with your presence has been few and far between. Perhaps you feel you have outgrown us, but its just plain rude to ignore every single sms and call we made to you on the day itself, without even giving us a single bit of clue on whether you would turn up or not. To me, that just shows you don't even care enough to think of an excuse for your absence. Note: if you plan not to turn up, don't call me up out of the blue to promise that you will most definitely appear, then make me look like a fool for standing by you even when everyone else has decided that you couldn't be bothered to turn up.

To say the truth, I have always admired you. You were one of the first intelligent, outspoken people I have met who really had opinions about things. Your faith made up a big part of your life, perhaps even shaped you into what you are today. I have always been proud of how you could achieve the goals you set. However, your faith has also been one of the contending points in our friendship. Perhaps the rest of us secular fools can never understand the spiritual enlightenment you receive, but at least we understand enough about friendship to remember the people around us.

'Nuff said.
