Seeing China in a different way...

Well the computer guy came today and totally took my computer away. He says there is some problem with the driver and apparently he has to reformat everything. What the heck right. I'm going to lose tons of my stuff zzz.
I'm blogging with my dad's notebook now. Colin and Yixin stayed over and left like about 4 hours ago. My mom was going on and on about the history of turkey during dinnertime. Hahaha.
Anyway, I'll be going to church tomorrow! It's my first time going in like, 2 months I think. I guess I've had one too many late Saturday nights. I'm also rather bored with this skin. I think I'll change it again when I get my computer back.
Aaah I really miss my com. I miss all my stuff!!!
To think I took off on Monday just so I could use my com. And now I have to find some other thing to do. Sounds so geeky hahaha. Well I wanted a long weekend to rest as well. It's been rather hectic for me lately.
Oh and I went out with the girls to CHIJMES this wed. I didn't know it was such a nice place, honestly. And yeah, hanging out with them really made me miss my JC days, where "all we do is just laugh". Even a few days before the As, I remember us just laughing everyday.
Such great times.
Yeah and of course, meeting up with Matt after not seeing him for so long yesterday really made me miss my sec sch days where we could just hang out at Colin's place after school and totally wasting our time doing dumb stuff. So many crazy and fun moments.
Like my mother would put it, "this are what memories are made of". That's probably why she always encourages me to go out with my friends and not hang around at home. Haha.
I've had to do so much thinking recently, about what my future is going to be like. I guess now that I'm in NS, it sort of serves as a temporary 'pause' in my life. Sort of like a stalling period before I go on to the rest of my life. It's actually something that I'm quite grateful for, because it gives me time to think and decide what I want to do with my life, because I honestly have no clue at this point. It's really ironic that I'm thankful for NS when I was dreading it so much in sec sch and JC.
Life has such unexpected twists doesn't it? I remember Ms Krishnan lecturing us when we were in sec 4 about writing compositions. She said that a good essay has a twist at the end that jolts the reader. And that is so true even to our lives. I would say that an interesting life is one that has many unexpected things turning up at different points. If we were aware of every single thing that happens, what kind of life would that be?
Hmmm.
Baby come back to me...
I hope for interesting things to come. Hopefully positive ones.

Hmmm.
I heard that Lady GaGa is coming to Singapore. But I've checked SISTIC and her website and there's nothing on it!
Ugh I really hope it's not some low-key thing club appearance or guest appearance or something like that.
Anyway, I can't believe it's only Tuesday. I really can't wait for the weekend to come. Somehow this week seems to crawl by.
AAAAH OSIM and TGIF!!!

Well well.. it's Sunday afternoon and my com is dead. I have to use my dad's com for now until Nor comes on Tuesday or Wednesday to fix it.
Aaaah.. looks like I'll have to find some way to cope without my computer for the next 2-3 days.
I guess I do need to catch up on my reading and stuff. Can't keep facing the computer 24/7 like I usually do.
Bzzz Bzzz....
Bumble bee. Such a wasted opportunity.

I'm really not sure what I want to do.
What I want to do for a living and all that.
Sitting in the car today and talking to my parents about what to take in Uni just made everything seem really fast. Law law law media media media.
Should I go the safe but uninteresting path, or the interesting yet risky path?
I thought last time that army would really give me time to think about what I want to do with my life but it seemed to have come so quickly. I'm already close to 5 months into army and I still have no clue what to do.
All I know is, I'm not going to do a job that I hate. I'm not going to spend 30-40 years of my life doing something that I hate for more money.
Then again, maybe I don't have to choose so soon. Maybe soon something will happen and help me to choose.
Oh but my hair has grown! Haha.
What to do, what to do... what..to...do.
I really what's going to happen during this 1 year and 7 months... Maybe life changing, maybe not?
Hmmmm...How did we get here?

Coldplay's giving out a free album on their website!!
http://www.coldplay.com/lrlrl/lr.html
Go download it if you're a Coldplay fan.
I am! Haha.
Anyway, the past week just zoomed by! Time really flies when you're in SCC busy doing stuff. People all think 'so slack' when I tell them my vocation but they don't realize that it's actually a lot of work. So much that time goes by so quickly.
Lights will guide you home...Hai.
Do I choose to be happy? :P

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me, and Dear my love, haven't you longed to be free I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you And at sweet night, you are my own Take my hand We're leaving here tonight There's no need to tell anyone They'd only hold us down So by the morning's light We'll be half way to anywhere Where love is more than just your name I have dreamt of a place for you and I No one knows who we are there All I want is to give my life only to you I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore Let's run away, I'll take you there We're leaving here tonight There's no need to tell anyone They'd only hold us down So by the morning's light We'll be halfway to anywhere Where no one needs a reason Forget this life Come with me Don't look back you're safe now Unlock your heart Drop your guard No one's left to stop you Forget this life Come with me Don't look back you're safe now Unlock your heart Drop your guard No one's left to stop you now We're leaving here tonight There's no need to tell anyone They'd only hold us down So by the morning's light We'll be half way to anywhere Where love is more than just your name

Had time to contemplate and think today.
As usual, it was on the way back home. I spent the whole day out (yay) with my dear friends and finally went back at around 10.
I was just thinking about how fast things fade. How some things dies and crumples while the immaterial lasts forever.
I'm going by my definitions.There are some things that are maybe not destined for you?
Maybe I have to rethink my priorities and stop hankering after things that I know do not last.
I detest mind games.
Hello...

Ok so the weather is back to being psychotic again.
Aaaah it felt like I walked into a pau steamer (heh) when I stepped out of the building today.
Madness.
Anyway, it was fun meeting up with Mel again on Sunday. We ate salt ice cream at Sushi Tei which is actually very nice! Yea you should all go try it. It has this slight salt taste but actually tastes mostly of butter. I'm not sure if it
IS actually butter, but oh well.
Oh and I bought headphones! Yup I remember reading somewhere that it's better for the ears as compared to earphones which project the sound directly into your ears. I heard of these canalphones which dig right into the hidden places of your ear and play music there. Quite insane if you ask me. I don't want to be deaf when i'm 50!
Haha and Vig called me just now telling me all about his army life. He was saying how time really passes by slowly in BMT. I totally agreed with him on that. I remember during my first 2 weeks time seemed to just DRAG and it seemed as though I was never going to book out.
So glad to be out of Tekong and back to Singapore. Haha.
Oh and lunch today was fun. We were
very blessed to be in the
presence of Bryan and Luqman. Hahaha.
Anyway, I was thinking about this very cliche and commonly used phrase 'actions speak louder than words'.
It really seems like we can't trust what people say nowadays huh? You sometimes hardly know whether it's a half truth, complete lie, an exaggeration, an understatement, etc
So how then are we sure of people and what kind of character they are? Their actions of course.
'actions speak louder than words'
It's really such a simple and overly used phrase, but it contains so much truth. We should always assess people by what they do, and compare it with what they say. We can say things so easily but not do them.
Hmmm.
Let's play a lovegame..
