I've decided to "public" my blog again. I've decided that I'm resposible and accountable for what I write. I'm not afraid of people reading it. Of course, some things that are considered "private" won't be talked about much then. :)
This year's Mooncake Festival Celebration wasn't exactly the best and definitely has lots of room for improvement BUT nevertheless, I had fun. Subsequently, I was also able to bring joy to others by taking care of the elderly from Ghim Moh Estate who came to celebrate the occasion with us. The aunties really made me realise how lucky I am to be living in the 2000s now when they talked about the times when they were young and they couldn't even afford to buy a lantern then... :)
:)
The person-in-charge actually asked me if I'd missed the current campus and suprisingly I've come to realise that I will even though we have always grumbled about travelling all the way from the East to the West and the other inconveniences that we've experienced before. I guess it's just called 失去了才懂得拥有. It allows me treasure people/relationships/things around me better. :)
I shall comfort myself that 曾经拥有过就已经是幸福了... :)
I'll never forget this part of my memories. :)
Jiayous EVERYONE! :)

I FEEL the DISTANCE w/o YOUR VOICE... I haven't been productive this entire week. I'm feel apologetic and yet I try to comfort myself with the fact that I'm feeling unwell.
It's so bad that I even got myself whizzed to the A&E Department of CGH on Thursday night. Apparently, I requested my parents to bring me there because I made a checklist of symptoms prior to heartattack and out of the 6, I had 4.
I went through a battery of tests- ECG/X-Ray/consultation. The conclusion- My ECG and X-Ray showed that I'm okay. The Doc said perhaps it's because I strained my chest muscles when I fell down the other day. Okay, I accept that. But now, I'm getting this uncomfortable feeling at my stomach area and it's rather upsetting to even think of it. I think it's gastritis because I haven't been having regular meals these days. Sometimes, I can eat only one meal for the whole entire day. I am guilty and I have to admit that my lifestyle isn't exactly the healthiest one and it's making my "already-lousy" immune system worse. I sincerely apologise to my body. Please get well soon.
Please.
I FEEL the DISTANCE w/o YOUR VOICE... 
Worrying doesn't help. Admittedly, it does serve some use in trying to push yourself to do or believe in something. But it's definitely harmful in the long run. I'm a living example. I worry all the time and in the end, I don't benefit much and I always end up lagging behind the others.
*STOP WORRYING*
I have come to realise that if I don't worry so much, things will be better. Sometimes, it's just the matter of the mindset. I worry about my chest pains and sharp sensations that I occasionally get and it doesn't do me any good. I went to the Doctor and he said my heartbeat was normal... Perhaps, if I learn to relax, things will be better.
After all, there's a Chinese saying that goes : 船到桥头自然直. :)
Term Three has come to a close and as I reflect, I realised I haven't been doing as well as I wanted myself to at the start of the term. I know I have to study hard but sometimes my mind just cannot resist and will succumb to the temptations around me. It's supposed to be natural for all humans [I read this in a book titled "The Happiness Hypothesis"; the theory of the elephant and the rider] so I guess I don't have to worry about myself being weird/abnormal/uncontrollable. :) Well, sometimes I just compromise and tell myself that at least I still have a conscience that tells me that I must work hard; at least I'm still able to differentiate right from wrong. :) Life's not so bad after all... :)
Just something random lest the readers find my post dry and draggy... I actually dreamt that I kissed Hyesung Oppa on the lips. But I guess that will never happen because the chances of me meeting Hyesung Oppa is very slim and thus having skinship with him is even the more impossible. This is when the theory of 日有所思，夜有所梦 come in. I was listening to Track 4 (A Good Day To Love) in his newest Jib(album)- Live and Let Live. It's a very sweet song and it features Miss Korea Honey Lee. :) [It's the song playing in the background now. :)]
Jiayous everyone! :)
