Other than the constant sleepiness that's been creeping into my system (post-assignment tiredness?), I've been feeling at peace lately. Is it because of the satisfaction of finishing my assignments? The love and support that came from my family, lecturers and tutors? The contentment of having friends that cares?
All, perhaps.
Of course, I know very well that this is just a calm before storm. Peace won't last. Soon, I'll be pulled into an assignment/exam/revision hurricane... but I want to cherish this little peace, even if I know it doesn't last.
*has a sudden idea for a story, but quickly pushes it away*
Well, here are some notes to summarize how I've been doing:
1) I slacked during my 1-week-long Hari Raya hols. I didn't touch my books 'til Sunday, and that was because I had to finish my BIS assignment.
2) My hols is quite eventful... and it could have been more eventful, but I have no transport.
3) I was invited to Keh Huat's house for a BBQ on Tues night with his gang (which consists Yean Siah, Wilson, Jenq (Jing?) and Ian(sp?).
4) I went out with Lynn on Wednesday. Watched Accuracy of Death. Someone in Speedy's interested in mah pessimistic friend. XD
5) Yay for Lecturers' love~! *cough*
6) Hui Ling came to my house for MCB help. She's impressed.
7) Made a promise to my cousin. If it works well, you might see my name in the shelves. ;3
8) Recently, I view my Marketing group leader with newfound respect. I mean, sure, I think he's a great guy and I salute his social skills... but the last presentation and the recap about Branding shows me he can actually do more than usual, and that's when the respect came.
9) And that's when I've stopped stressing about my Marketing assignment.
10) But it's still not over.
11) 3 more assignments to go. I dunno if I should be happy because I don't have to do more for the year, or sad because the last of the assignments means how close my finals are coming.
12) I'm gonna have block lectures for 4 consecutive weeks. Already gone through 2.
13) I've been slacking with my studies. I pray my study spirit returns... but not enough to consume me and derive me of my creativity.
14) Poor Keh Huat's sick. Hope ya get well soon~! =3
15) Ate sushi in Sushi King, Sunway Pyramid with Stanley, Ngam... something, Rachel, Keh Huat, Jennifer and Xian Qing! Wish we can have more daring times like this. And no, we didn't skip class; we're just in time. We're goood kids. =3
16) Old bonds hung in front of me, tempting me to reforge and renew it. I guess I'm a bit nervous... I pray I will have the courage to renew and restrenghten it, but
17) Everything comes with a price. I have a feeling that doing so would require me to make sacrifices, and I'm afraid the sacrifices would be too great that I'd lose foot of the familiar.
18) But one must take action in order to change, may it be for the better or worse. Because humans are everchanging, and they shouldn't trap themselves in a time... frame thingy? Am I actually making any sense?
19) I feel lazy! D='
20) But I'm still going for the final block lecture for Law. So yay.

Change
"OMG! It's been a long time since we've last met and you didn't seem to change at all!"
... This is an overused line one usually hears from old friends or ex-classmates during a gathering or something.
The thing is, I disagree with this line a lot. And I certainly don't like it when people automatically assumed the other doesn't change because there aren't any visible changes or they didn't change themselves. Whatever the reasons are, I still disagree.
In my opinion, people do change. It is just the matter of whether it's visible or not.
People who change their outer appearance is obviously visible, may it be 'nerds' who wore make-ups, 'populars' who became more extravagant, or maybe a new hairstyle, whatever.
People who change their personality is semi-visible, like the shy became outgoing. Or the loud became quiet. I'd recently met a friend who was once emo became less emo and more... thoughtful about the future. I also had a friend who was somewhat outgoing became very emo (and bored). But sometimes, the changes in personality are so small that it is only noticed by a few. Nevertheless, it is still a change.
However, there are those whose change are less visible (or less noticed/cared). Knowledge is something we gain everyday, may it be during class/lectures or a bit of pondering and discovery. But people don't show it unless circumstances cause them to flaunt their knowledge.
And also, one's taste. This can be both visible and not so visible, but surely you yourself know if you have a change in taste. I know I have. =P
There may be things I've missed, but feel free to add or correct me.
This thought have been lingering in my mind for days, but I brought it up just today because of a recent meeting with an old friend of mine yesterday. And this friend had implied that I have not change... Or, to be more precise, things that aren't my forte is something I would not try EVER (because she thinks it's so not me) when, in reality, I already have... although it's not something I'd like to admit.
So, the point of this entry is: People do change. I'm not saying I did, but I'm not saying I'm didn't. This is something that only I know myself, and not something that everyone would know because, unlike 90% of teenage/young adult bloggers, I do not broadcast my life to everyone in a blog OR in reality. Or, in a simpler/ruder term: I don't whine and bitch, much. >_>
... But if it makes people feel better thinking I'm still the old me, then so be it. I understand that there are people who are afraid of change that they want to seek an ounce of familiarity, because it brings comfort to their hearts that there is still something that has never change... and because they feel better knowing that they're still in control of things.
Whatever people think about me, I won't care because I know who I am, and I have my own reasons for my actions...
I am who I am, and I am definitely not shaped by people's words.
Because I am not the product of the environment; the environment is the product of me.

Sloth
Ugh... I suddenly remember why I've stopped blogging before I start this blog.
Several reasons:
A) I just don't have the dedication/energy to update often. ._.'
B) If you ask me to pick between writing a story or my life, I'd rather write a story. 8D
C) Yes, I guess that means I don't like people knowing much about my life...?
D) One word: Sloth.
So, what's happening these days/weeks?
I've battled countless assignments (in fact, I've just submitted one today).
I've also found out that BIS isn't too bad. It just requires some reading, and most of the important texts are probably in the textbook (so unlike Marketing).
LAW is... okay. I always needed some time to digest, but it's mostly okay. In fact, it can be easily mastered if I'm just willing to take some time to make my own notes and prepare myself better. But I'm lazy. >_>'
FA1 is probably my worst, but I'm trying to correct that. Can't afford to screw up in next week's Mid-Sem exam.
Microeconomics is getting harder, but it's not as bad as I thought. Yes, I need to sit and take a look at my notes again. Revise. Do something.
In conclusion, I need to do more revision. 8D
... But I'm lazy. At least, I'm feeling lazy now.
And I'm still playing with a plot in my mind; an idea of a story to be submitted to UniSA Yearbook.
I'm also recently attracted to the anime 'The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi'. It's worth a watch, really. I rarely like main characters of an anime, but Kyon is an exception. I might even post a review here if I feel like it. =3
My brother is coming back from Japan on September 3rd. Yay~

New Semester
Gee, how long since I'd last update this? I'm lazy when it comes to blogspot sometimes.
I'd never liked missing the first day of school; it gives me the feeling that I've missed out something important, or that I've just 'penetrated' into a course, or that I'm not getting off into a good start.
Nevertheless, missing the first day was somewhat worth it as I've passed my driving test. (Go me!)
Business Information System seems like a boring subject. Or maybe I just ain't prepared. I'm just not in a studious mood these days. Man, I need some motivation.
... And crap, I haven't even buy my textbooks! I heard there's a stall that sells textbook cheaper than University Bookstore, but I can't remember where!
I hate feeling so unprepared. >_<'

3rd Auntie's Singing Comeback!
If I were to describe my mum's family, I'd say they're Singing Sensations.
Just a quick explanation on my mum's side of the family: I have 4 Uncles and 3 Aunts, so from eldest to youngest, I addressed my uncles as '1st Uncle, 2nd Uncle, 3rd Uncle and 4th Uncle'. Meanwhile, for my aunts, I call them '1st Auntie, 3rd Auntie and 4th Auntie', because my mom is the 2nd eldest among my Grandma's daughters, so to the rest of my cousins, my mom is '2nd Auntie to them'.
Most of my uncles and aunties are somehow connected to the word 'singing'; it is either their 'past', their source of income or their job. Nevertheless, every single of them seemed to have a passion for singing.
My 3rd aunt is under the first category. Since adopting an idyllic life of a housewife, her singing career went on a hiatus for more than 10 years (about 15-20?).
Recently, she was invited to sing at a fund-raising concert for the Sichuan Earthquake.
Result: She rocked the whole house.
So...
Check out the videos! Give her your support!
