Decided to take a bus ride home from Esplanade after briefing of my coming work assignments. And I was once again reminded of the reason why I enjoyed bus rides and prefered them many a times over mrt rides. The scenery that I get to see up close, worth the extra time spent.
Of course when you take certain bus everytime, you will not be able to enjoy or treasure bus rides. But what it takes is just a random bus ride one time down places which you have not seen for some time, and you can understand the joy of sitting in an air-conditioned space looking at the place where you belong. Looking at new buildings being constructed, people going about doing their everyday things, events taking place along the streets. Simple pleasures in life.

Ever since exams ended, I have unofficially graduated from NUS. And from then on, it's been a flurry of activities, both physically and mentally. There are times when I enjoyed the freedom of time which I have now, but there are times when I wished I do not have that time as it is most of the time not really mine! And it sure is draining... Oh well, I am just complaining.
When I was still an undergraduate, I thought I had my life figured out. But as I start to really reflect on happenings around me, things that happened to me, my mentality has changed. I also realised that there is an infinite of possibilities in the upcoming years of my life, and I maybe able to achieve more than what I have set out to.
It feels like you are at a cross road on a very hazy day where you cannot see what lies ahead, have no idea which path should be the one to take, and also do not even know what you want in the first place. Sometimes wish I had more directions, more guidance. But perhaps this way will allow me to learn more. And if it is the hard way, will allow me to become a stronger person?
So, do you know what you really want in life? How can you be sure it is really what you want?? Where do you see yourself to be a few years down the road???

OMG.. you mean exams was just last week? It feels like some time ago as life after exams have been one thing/gathering/meetup/activity/event after another. A fulfilling ife means that everyday is very meaningful, but it also means that it is very draining and taxing on the physique and mental state of oneself. And I sure feel super tired and drenched out now.
There have been a lot which I have set out for myself to complete this rather long holidays, and I am certainly happy to see that it is starting to happen for some more or less from where I am standing now. It is certainly happy and exciting when whatever you envisioned is coming true, but it is also sad and demoralising when whatever you want does not happen and obstacles just keep coming up along the way.
Another stage in my life has certainly come by, and even until this point of time in my life there are times whereby I will be taken aback by simple things/ideas/concepts which have never crossed my mind before. Easier said than done that nothing is impossible. But to be fair and put it in reality these days, you really never know what you can achieve and how far you can go with the dreams that you thought were illusions and never reality. Now, the world is our playground, learn the rules and start playing!!! ;)

I am now less than 24 hours away from the freedom which I have been dreaming of for a long time. It seems so near yet so far when I was still a freshman at Arts Camp 2006, my very 1st encounter with the faculty and the club which I have come to serve since then.
There were so many a times when I start doubting myself during this arduous jouney throughout my university days. There were so many a times when I feel pain so great my heart hurts literally. There were so many incidents which made me feel downright depressed. There were so many encounters which made me disillusioned about things that I feel strongly for as a person.
There were also many a times when I was rewarded for beliving in what I set out to do. There were also many a times when I feel euphoric to the state that it feels like the whole world is just so beautiful. There were also many things which cheered me up so much I can smile like a fool to myself. There were also many occurrences which motivated me powerfully to fight for ideas that I have in mind.
It is precisely because of all these things, happy or sad, good or bad, which allowed me to have really lived my university days. It is also because of all that I have went through which allowed me to have a clearer view and perspectives about people, events and things. Even though graduation is coming in a few months' time, I must say I am definitely not done with learning about life as there is just so much that I do not know. :)))
