25 and counting
Well. It’s the day after being 25. Somehow it passed just like any other day. Anyway, I would like to count my blessings for this 25th birthday.
I would like to thank my History friends for remembering my birthday and celebrating it. Thanks to Cherylyn who organised it and the rest of the schemers like Joseph who kept me outside while they were preparing the surprise and all of the people who ate the cake and shared all the laughter and jokes. I guess like what Eng Tat said, you only live life once and thus there is this thing called the History Honours class. You have been a blessing in my life and I hope that I have been one in yours too. Looking forward to another great semester with all of you.
The next group of people would be the much loved YFers. Thanks for all the birthday wishes on Sat and the cake on Sun. Didn’t want to share too much as we were all rushing for time to go caroling but I’ll make it up in YPM. YF has been an integral part of my life and I wonder how life would be without you guys. As I grow older, I somehow dread that day I leave YF but I suppose that’s part and parcel in the process of growing up.
Last but not least, I would like to thank my wonderful family for the cake on the 19th and also for my parents for rearing me till this age. As I soon embark on another phase of my life, I’m also reminded that they are getting older too with every passing year. It’s time for me to earn the buck and not be a spender anymore.
25 years is a milestone and it marks a significant moment in my life. The approaching year is going to be a year of questions, changes and new challenges. But I know with God’s help, I’ll overcome them one by one. I know there will still be hanging questions but I also know that God has his way of answering them in his own time.
Reading for fun..
Got myself a book from the library. It’s titled ‘Jesus in Disneyland’. It’s a sociology book as it talks about how postmodernism affects religion and also puts it in another interesting way of reversing the relationship. Just got through chapter 1 and it has been a good read, hope I can find myself continuing it since it’s so academic.
Unsure of a major?
We have a lifetime to be practical but only 4 years to really learn something for a lifetime. – Choose History! The Impractical Lifetime Choice.
I’m glad I made the choice.
being down under and happy about it
This is really super tiring and stressful. But at the same time, I have never found myself so intellectually challenged and motivated to study. Though partly it’s because of the grade, but partly I am being ’sucked in’ by all that I’m learning. Honours is a real different level from the past years and I get all ‘excited’ about the information I’m getting. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again that I really love the friends that I have made over the past sem, through all the mugging, bitching and learning the bonds that form are really tight.
As for exams.. yes, i agree they are a pain in the ass but it also forces me to study, to find out what I don’t know. Besides, it’s kinda fun revising and slogging together. And after that we can all enjoy the celebrations together!
Of course it’s rather sad to think about how one sem has passed so fast and another one will be passing by soon in a jiffy. It’s like this time next year, I would be working or in a worst case scenario job-searching but what I’m implying is that I’ll no longer be in this ’sheltered’ kind of life and it’s kinda sad. But oh well, that’s life, isn’t it.
More blogging after my papers!
Reasons to learn Русский
All these talk about closer ties of Singapore with Russia really makes me want to master the language and head on to Russia to work or just stay for a while. It was a great experience in Moscow and I’m sure as the relationship between Singapore and Russia gets warmer, more tourism opportunities will be opened and other diplomatic conferences will be held, and that is when the language will be important cos interpreters and translators would be needed and Russian is such a rare language to learn. I hope to be able to volunteer myself for such things cos I want to interact with Russians and even to really speak Russian with Russian people instead of to myself. So I guess for now, this is one goal I’ll look forward when I graduate.
Dedicated to NUS history honours 09/10
This has been a crazy sem and I’m so thankful that it’s finally coming to an end. Though it’s not really the end as my last paper will be on 3rd Dec but now I really can say it’s bye bye to half of my honours year.
It was a tough decision to take the honours year and it had been a tough and rough 13 weeks. But through it all, I realised that hey, everyone’s suffering too but we are all in the same boat and thus can bitch all about it. The bonds forged this sem will be made stronger in the next. I’m really thankful to God for this group of wonderful history pals that have made this sem enjoyable and bearable to me and everyone. I’ll miss the days spent in the honours room, getting totally shot by the silver bullets in ah lau, doing last min Lemon readings, listening to stories/complaints of the Korean trips/module and etc. I can’t say enough to show how much you guys have played a part in my life. But I guess you all get the drift.
So here’s to all the best for all our papers! Jia you!
Slaps forehead
Please please have some form of initiative. I’m not here to spoon feed you forever and neither will people do in the future! Can’t stand it when you were expected to do the simplest of things and it’s not even done at the last minute. If that’s the case, what’s the difference of you and the normal person sitting beside you.
This is bad..
School is starting to become my 2nd home.
