The Roadtrip... A Dedication....



Over the weekend, we (Jol, Jim, Jiaming, Rae, Ari, Stacy, Stephanie & me) took a trip in 2 cars to Maleny, Sunshine Coast for a quick getaway from the horrors of Schoolies that plagued Gold Coast. It was a really beautiful day as God was shining his blessings upon us. This trip was dedicated to Jol and Rae's 2 cousins. Especially for Jol as it was her final few events with us on the coast as she embarks on another new chapter of her life in another place. We'll definitely remember the times we have shared in Australia this past 1 year. Thank you Jol! For all the wonderful memories that you have craved into our lives. Though it has only been a year, the times we have shared in the same apartment complex have definitely brought us closer than most friends we had back home. We're more than just friends; We're Family! This will not be good-bye.... It will never be.... Rather, this is just a "see you later" moment as I know that we'll definitely be seeing each other again in the near future. I, your faithful "Nanny" will make sure that will definitely happen. We'll miss you. Always always remember, we're not that far away afterall....

Weight Off My Shoulders...

Yesterday, my exams finally ended... What a relieve it is... A whole weight is lifted off my shoulders the moment I ended the paper with a full stop. It was at that moment, life started its normal course once again. This has been definitely a very very tedious and stressful semester for me with a heavy load of large assignments as well as the mid-semester exams. But.... its over. Now my concentration will have to be diverted to another important matter- Leading Griffith's SSA. However, that would have to wait till I get back to Singapore as I'll be embarking on a period of Fun and Entertainment to keep me occupied till the day I leave this country. To the Curry fish head and Kway Chap- I miss you!!!!!!!!

Unmotivated, Unspirited & Complacent

Talk about feeling unmotivated man... I am someone who is driven by anxiety and stress but it is just not happening for me this semester. A paper just went by and I have absolutely not feelings what-so-ever about the paper let alone the whole enitre exam period. As I went about preparing for this semester's exam, a wave of NO-emotions has been bugging me all the way through. Every single time I pick up the notes to study, it is based on the pure "going through the motion" obligation and not on the basis of I NEED TO Study..... Because of this, complacency has set in and I'm left with an unspirited mindset. I have absolutely no idea what would be able to bring me out of this frame of mind. All I know is that, I HAVE to get my motivation back... I need STRESS!!!!

Quotes to live by:

"Trying is not an option."

“I am not in this world to live up to your expectations so I do not expect you to live up to mine.”

“When experience is viewed in a certain way, it presents nothing but doorways into the domain of the soul.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn
