its interesting how a year
can make a whole world of difference.
a year ago i'd never have imagined
that i'd be sitting on the floor in a room in london,
deserted streets outside,
bubbling heart inside.
as the year comes to a close
its a time to look back,
to count my numerous blessings.
and what a beautiful year its been.
2011 has really been one of,
if not the best, years so far.
this year i'm thankful
1. that school isn't so tough
that i can survive academically
and train hard for ultimate at the same time.
2. for my ever supportive parents (Y)
despite all the stuff i say about them.
for always standing by me regardless of what i do
be it frisbee or driving or starbucks or uni.
3. for the friends i have over here.
i really don't know what i'd do without them.
:')
2011 was a year of change,
a year of meeting new friends,
and the sad separation of old ones.
the rediscovery of forgotten friends,
the drifting apart of close friends.
a year that began and ended
in totally different circumstances,
from sunny singapore,
to the cold and gloomy uk.
from bustling singapore,
to quiet and peacefully zen canterbury.
from happy starbucks,
to not-so-carefree uni life.
from financial independence
to living independence.
funny how i used to think that having an income
equated to being independent.
until i had to cook and do my own laundry.
from hcband.sg
to umm. the random group of friends.
i still miss lagging around
watching the world go by with them though.
:x
from eatdisc,
to kenttouchthis.
(found this oddly funny btw)
and the year ended with me
sitting on the floor in a room in london,
deserted streets outside,
bubbling heart inside.
nothing stays constant in life,
people change over time, priorities differ,
and unfortunately change is only
as understandable as it is painful.
just as 2011 was a year of change,
2012 will be a year of self-discovery.
here's to a great year ahead my friends.
(:

why does it always rain
whenever i want to do my laundry?!
it gets so cold and i dont feel like
moving out of my warm room.
asdalskjdlaksjd.
but yep nothing much recently really.
just ultimate and work and more ultimate.
life's pretty routine now.
mondays are long lecture days, 4 of them.
tuesdays are long seminar days, 4 of them as well.
wednesday is frisbee day yay, no lessons.
thursday is useless seminars day, 2 of them from 10 - 12pm.
fridays are sleep in days, lessons from 12 - 2pm.
saturdays are for frisbee, 11 - 4pm
usually followed by soccer and stuff.
sundays are for frisbee in the mornings,
maybe some work after that.
and laundry at night weather permitting.
but yep.
last week before winter holidays.
can't wait yay :D
esp christmas and new year (Y)
oh and before i forget,
the obligatory birthday post.
sean's birthday 22/11/11
what a boy.
but yep we celebrated on the 19th weekend,
cause 22nd was a weekday so boo (N)
mmm nothing much really,
they went k-boxing in the afternoon,
before dinner at some italian restaurant.
i can't even remember the name hahaha.
so much for a one star michelin restaurant.
umm the really random group.
band ppl + melwan + calvin + shiwei
went back to the dorm for dessert haha
and to give him his presents
cheesecake courtesy of junjie
(and destroyed by weixin)
and melted tubs of haagan dazs.
see its supposed to have an S shaped
maple syrup/crushed cereal topping,
but our dear AEP boy screwed up.
and the melted ice cream.
and his poster!
quite sure this wouldn't have happened
if we were still in sg.
we even bought him a pair of prc pants.
and as is the norm,
drinking games after that
with weixin's disarono amaretto,
christmas morning ughh (N).
it wasn't that bad this time though,
no one ended up puking.
guess 3 bottles wasn't enough for all 10 or so of us.
esp since shiwei and kheexuan left
somewhere around the beginning.
i have no idea what this is supposed to be,
but i suspect it has something to do with "gums".
just a wild guess.
since we weren't hungover on sunday,
went out instead haha for a change.
went to some market some place.
i have no idea where ahhahhaa.
weixin led the way, and naturally
we got lost for the first hour or so.
but we found it eventually haha.
it was pretty interesting though haha.
lots of junk and bits and pieces on sale.
can't rmb much really its been quite
a long time since i went back to london.
almost a month alrdy. oh well.
4 more days till the end of school!
london and italyyyyy (Y)

seeing the men from 40SAR ord
really brings back memories.
just over a year ago,
i was that guy in the sweat drenched no.4,
dried blood on my face (irrelevant),
half dead from almost no sleep in 2 days,
but still grinning from ear to ear
after finishing the last mission,
where all that stood between me and ord
was R&R and an 8 hour flight back to sg.
i was that guy gleefully waving my pink ic
in front of all the ptp guys faces.
i was that guy with endless possibilities in front of me,
ecstatic at having my freedom given back to me.
i had so many post ord plans,
so many ideas, so much to do.
and none of that mattered cause
no matter what i ended up doing
i knew i was going to have the best year of my life.
i had the world at my feet.
that priceless feeling.
and the year that followed;
indescribable awesomeness.
