Ha.. Hasn't blogged for a long time. Got my results. Was a little disappointed in it but also expected it. Really need to work hard for the next sem.
I just got back from China. Basically, I went to Beijing n Cheng de (I dun tink it is cheng du). In any case, Beijing was cold but Cheng De was colder. Emperors went to Cheng de's Bi Shu Shan Zhuang for the summer. So my thought was 'what the hell was i doing there during winter?' Basically, China left a 'grey' impression in my mind mostly cuz of the haze and long nights due to winter. And maybe cuz I kept missing somebody. ha~ I am probably never going to go back to China again. I hope~

I remember a colleague from MINDEF once told me, 'After you get your first 21st birthday party invitation, the rest will follow. Same for wedding invitations and lastly funerals.' I also read this article in Lifestyle today by Margo McCutcheon. Basically about life and death. How her conversation with her friends became so boring such that they were talking about washing-machines during a party or something. I was going to insert an alternative point of view to this but oh well.. I guess I just don't believe it at all to even type it out fluently. Anyway, fyi - the alternative pt of view goes something like they have been close friends for so long and known so much that conversations become so boring at times and there are no reason to portray anything at all.
In any case, it was then that she decided to change her lifestyle to one that allows her to experience life so to speak. Here I remember an idiotic lecturer of mine once told me, 'While we will like to do something we are interested in (for a project), reality is that what we are interested in doesn't mean good grades.' It is a balance kind of thing as according to Margo too. Money and material wants vs experiencing life.
Ok. This sucks. I am unable to write what I'm thinking exactly. haha. Too long a time away from blogging and rushing a blog is no good.
