Hopeful for something different

Finally had my mind set...
Accepted ntu environmental engineering over nus as my choice though the latter is seriously like only a few bus stops away from my home. well but then again i got to put my future at stake so decided to go for the better assured one. Just pray that i did made a sensible choice and more essentially the right one.
Another is the graduation ceremony that took place this morning... three yrs of hard work and perseverance... has finally come to an end. it a case of u reap what u sow which i guess is pretty true in my context. didn't receive any awards though but its nevertheless the last day in ngee ann. Actually feeling a sense of joy and a little disappointment that nt really all did turn up for the ceremony. but then again my class did score full attendance which made it quite meaningful for me since the times we are gonna spend together isn't much from now on due to various commitments.

Till we meet again...

Trying hard

Its been quite some time since i last blogged... but well my life is pretty much the same. anyway some highlights to look forward to in the coming week. First of all is the graduation ceremony where it will be the first time i ever worn the graduation attire. Though it may not be as glamorous as compared to university graduation, it is certainly an occasion worth attending. Perhaps it may paint an illustrious memory to my life. I will try to note down this memory in any forms that i can. Secondly is the Malaysia trip the day after. Its been ages since i last went for an overseas trip. Hopefully it will turn out fine or better still, an enjoyable one. This will certainly paint some bright colours to my dull life so far.
So much for the future, back to the past again...
went for the ntu tea reception on last sat which i thought didn't really aid much to my decision of the choices. but well it turn out to be quite a surprise. was brought to the various labs and places within the faculty itself and well i am starting to have second thoughts abt making my choice. Its like a few more days before the dateline is up and i really ought to be more decisive and persistent. but i really cannot bring myself to do it. i guess i am simply going nowhere in this state. don't wish history to repeat itself because of my indecisiveness. This is one area that i indeed need to cultivate myself quickly.
Ever since i started working, i feel that i had unknowingly fallen into an emo state which i myself can't explain. Just can't seem to find any rhythm to my life. But well, realised that there are a number of ppl ard me in the same state. Not really motivated to excel in anything i do and just hope to complete everything without considering the quality. Could it be or maybe?
Its just the same question surfacing in front of my mind which i can't solve. Hopefully i can get it solved asap and get back to normal lifestyle.
So much for some crap, i guess its time to end this post.

Unpredictable

what on earth is life when u don't get to enjoy it to the fullest. at least i can say that of myself as of now. Have not really tried a lot of things which i had always wanted but well there is still time. I am nt sure if i am going to take the first step. There is something really lacking here which i don't quite seem to know. Think abt it another day.
Its really time to start toughening up before i suffer in the treacherous bmt. but then again do i even have the motivation to go jogging in the evening when i can relax comfortably here surfing the net and blogging. The answer is definitely NO till now. i think i have got no other choice but to really get my legs moving and maybe start with simple stuff.
Another week has gone by just in a flash and i mean a flash. everyday just seems so monotonous and dull. Doing the same things over and over again can be real boring. Just need to find the spark to brighten up. i seriously don't have a slightest clue how am i going to do that but i will try.
It isn't really that bad after all. through working i got to meet some eccentric people which can bring smiles on your faces. on the other hand, i will also get to see people with their ugly side. but then again, working in the heart of singapore is indeed not a bad idea after all. you get to meet the bustling crowd everyday along the streets and its always full of different promotional events which really brings out the liveliness of the city. This is indeed the place to be for the working class.
Anyway, m looking forward to graduation and for now, have a nice day everyone!!

Don't know

Back with a bang. nah just kidding.
Haven really been doing anything meaningful since the end of sch. Well except maybe working aimlessly without learning anything. That's not how i want to spend the next few months before i get into the army. Would like to take up something interesting and exciting maybe?
I seriously think that i am neither here nor there and that i have yet to try a hell lot of things which i had yearn in the past. i have all the time in the world now. BUT that is if i've got a mobile ATM. The fact is that my surname is not Gates nor is my parents Bill.
That is most probably the only reason that i can think of why i am working now. But well, at least most colleagues are nice people and sociable. I have got not much of a problem settling in. One thing weighing on my mind right now is still the choice of uni. Should i go against the more obvious choice? this is really getting on my nerves. Sometimes how i wished life would just be plain sailing. But then again, if it is going to be plain sailing, its just like a dead person with no heartbeat. just a straight line across the heartbeat detector. That's plain sailing too. i wouldn't want that.
This is really a tough choice. Or should i just forget abt studying since i can't even make a decision when i got to be persistent. i got no idea. In any case i still got to come up with a decision at the end of the day. Anyway, that's abt it from me now and will update on the choice in the near future.

Managed to catch 'Harold & Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay' on wednesday night and caught up with a few of my friends. The movie's still alrite for me and one of the climax for me got to be this poem that i was fascinated with. Imagine someone would have come up with a poem linked with maths. But well, its indeed well-versed.

I’m sure that I will always be

A lonely number like root three



The three is all that’s good and right,


Why must my three keep out of sight


Beneath the vicious square root sign,


I wish instead I were a nine



For nine could thwart this evil trick,


with just some quick arithmetic



I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321


Such is my reality, a sad irrationality



When hark! What is this I see,


Another square root of a three



As quietly co-waltzing by,


Together now we multiply


To form a number we prefer,


Rejoicing as an integer



We break free from our mortal bonds


With the wave of magic wands



Our square root signs become unglued


Your love for me has been renewed


After the movie, managed to get a place to chill and just a random session talking abt anything under the sun or rather 'the moon' in this case. Getting pawned in relationships, displeasure in work and many other things. Though everyone were talking abt the demoralizing things that were happening, but that might be a good time to mold ourselves to become more mature. Moreover, the 20th mark doesn't seem too far away from now. I am just going to take it in my stride and carry on with life. enjoy the next few months and off i go. hope that the friendship forged can still be extended through many years to come though we may be heading for different directions. That's all for now and may everyone have a good weekend ahead.
