round up of the last 3 weeks

It wasn't a happening period of events. For the past 3 weeks, it has been work, work and work, a little bit of jogging and a little bit of chilling out with friends.

Here's what I've done:

01/01/10:

Met up with poly buddies for supper @ Clarke Quay. A nice chatting session to start the year.

08/01/10:

Went with secondary school buddies to JB for shopping and chill. It was meant to be an 'overseas' holiday before I get over to Brisbane for studies. It was a decent trip. I was controlling my budget very tightly, hence I got practically nothing back. Most of the time, I was the one doing the shopping, the 2 of them were just following me. I don't quite like that but they don't quite shop so it was alright. It will be better if bert will be able to join us, but since he's still in army, the idea of him joining us is gone. This marks the start of myself going out of Singapore. Actually, i like the idea of going for a short break. It's nice to get away from the vibrant & fast-paced lifestyle here, to just go away for a break to relax.

09/01/10:

Went for my pre-departure seminar @ AusEd. There were alot of people going for the seminar, some with their parents, some went alone, like myself. It was nice to hear about the assurance from the head agent, who is a graduate from Aussie in New South Wales. He shared his experience and gave us some advice. I met a new friend, who is going to UQ as well, indirectly through ryan.

16/01/10:

I didn't do much on this day. But I got something I've been craving for. I bought a pair of sunglasses!! It wasn't the design I loved the most. It also wasn't the brand I wanted. But it is definitely within my budget. Now, I'm eagerly waiting for the shop to change the lens to my myopia degree and then I can use it. =)

17/01/10:

'Escaped' to Batam with my parents. It was my first time there. The place was better than I thought. I had a few first times over there. 1st time buying home-made kueh lapis. 1st time buying a counterfeit item. 1st time going for massage in massage parlour and the massager is a lady. It was thus a memorable trip. And this marks the end of a frenzy period of overseas trip where i leave Singapore 3 times in 2 months.

When this week ends, it will be less than a month to my studies. How time flies. How I wish time flies over there as well...

With that, it's once again time where I should do some yearly routine., which is to reflect on myself for the past 22+ years. I will reflect on what I've done to make myself proud of myself, make my parents pround of me, or make my friends to be proud to have me as a friend. And once again, the answer is NOTHING. Need to keep improving. Hopefully, this year will be the time where I do something decent. Hopefully, I will be able to do something than to say and do nothing!

Over the last 3 weeks, I keep seeing her. This is more than just coincidence. Deep in my heart, I wanna know her. Yet, I keep letting the chance go. I saw her again today and with me being the coward self, I didn't do anything again..disappointing. Why I'm so shy, or so lacking in confidence, I don't know. Unless I can break this barrier, I know what I can expect of myself few years down the road...
