December Dream Come Alive

december passes ever so quickly... it's school starting soon again.

had children's society camp in the first week. nothing much, except waiting for her to come back and praying that she's safe and sound. went to receive her from airport. would she get angry, after telling me so many times to stay at home? she didn't...

second week was xperience pharmacy camp. had to stay in, so can't meet her at night even though she's in singapore. but met her to buy stuff. and she agreed to help me fill the cans with sand, even though it's a total waste of time... and we both had an extra hand each...

third week in thailand, bangkok. new-found bliss. it was like an adventure, the most fulfilling tour of my life. the relish of freedom without parents on a tour, having people of your age instead is a fresh change. i love walking at night on bangkok that time. covering the markets. getting on the ferry, filling in the pots with coins at the Temple of the Gigantic Buddha.

fourth week. still a whirlwind, i still don't know how it started. numerous attempts to go out, christmas. didn't feel well on xmas, drats... went to jurong hill (at last!) for dinner then went mount faber for countdown on new year's eve. the fireworks lit the sky with magic, signalling the dawn of a new chapter. then came bidding. work. i still want more holidays...

next sem is tough. only one four-hour break per week... starved. and our lessons clash. badly. i shall be resilient, as much as i wanna meet i shall not. i shall do well in my studies and the work assigned to me... and i shall continue to appreciate the beauty of the big picture, no matter how ugly things can get.

for 21 years i have been valiantly searching, in vain. who could have known that, what seems so far, was once so close? for two years, she turned right, i turned left...

until now.

life is good.

p.s. advice for freshies: don't stay in hall or pgp. it's useless! haha. unless u are some hot bod.
