That vast ocean.
Life is never predictable. Yes, we make plans. But usually, things tend to not go according to what we plan. We all dream of big things. Dreaming of what we could be. What we want to be and what we want our future to be. But the funny thing that is called life, doesn't always allow us to actually achieve what we want.
So what do we do? Do we just sit there and wallow in our sorrows? No, we make the best out of the situation. In a way, we just suck it up. It sounds really sad. That we have to just accept fate sometimes because yes, you really want to just scream and fight this fate that you are placed in. But sometimes, it's really not up to us to decide. To me, I think that it's really part of God's plans. Things may seem to really suck sometimes, but I believe that ultimately, it will all make sense. That God puts us through these trials to let us learn something. And from learning, we get to grow up and become a better person. And we learn from these setbacks and trials. Even if it feels crazy unfair that you have to be the one to face such trials.
And most probably, the change of path from the one you originally plan out is because the new and current path may probably be better for you. It may not seem so now but I guess one day in the future, you will understand and see why. That you being in this path makes a better difference to the world and yourself and your family and your friends as compared to the original path that you plan out. But I guess the thing about paths is that it's never definite. It often always changes. Though all these changes may put you down, it is actually kinda exciting if you think about. That we can really never truly know what to expect next in life. No matter how much we predict and stuffs, some things will change without us knowing. And I think that's the exciting part about this crazy life we all live in. It gives us something to look forward to.
Because if we are able to predict what our life will become very accurately, it will feel as if we are just living life as it is. There is no excitement and changes and you just always know what to do and what to expect. Right now, we are young. Yes, probably when we are older, we would much rather want a more stable lifestyle but right now, we have the ability to do things and yea, we shouldn't fear of the unpredictable future. Sometimes, it may really suck when you know that whatever you are doing now may all just be a wasted effort in the end, and it will most probably hurt really bad when you find out that whatever you worked hard for indeed became a wasted effort. But I guess we must always remember to come back up from the setback. Because as long as we want to come back up from the setback, and we set our mind to make the best of what there is, it will all be okay in the end.
I believe that everyone has their own happily ever after. I believe that good people will always win in the end. The future; it's something we can never predict accurately. We make plans but they aren't definite. Life may seem unfair at times, but life also surprises and the unpredictability of life can be exciting as well.
To be honest, I really fear what the future will bring. Right now, it still seems a crazy blur to me. I think I really have to start planning and researching and yes, have a plan. Even though plans fail but you need a direction to head towards. And yes, of course, you must ready yourself for setbacks. Because for almost 8 years of my life, I was convinced that I want to be a photographer when I grow up. But right now, it's out of the way. Yes, at the back of my head, it will always be a dream that I just won't get it. But I guess it's not exactly a setback as to more of the fact that I grew up and I come to terms with myself. And yes, I talked to people and saw those who have true passion in photography and realise that my passion is nothing as compared to them. And yes, that's when I realised that it wasn't something that I actually wanted. And that put me in a crazy scary position of not knowing what I want to become in the future.
But I guess it was a good thing. Because if not for all that, I would actually still be that foolish girl who is claiming that she wants to be a photographer when she grows up when she isn't doing anything about it. All that talking is never going to make you go anywhere.
In this life, what matters is you do things. You don't sit around and wait. And say and claim what you want and what you want to become. Life doesn't work that way. Sometimes, you have to fight for what you want. Other times, you may end up not getting what you want. It all sucks. But I guess what comes out tops in all these setbacks and trials is you. You come out on top no matter what. Because through all these experiences, you are bound to gain one thing or another from them. And they all matter. Good experiences, bad experiences. They all matter. And they make you stronger than you are. Because you survive through them regardless. And that's all that matters.
And I think honestly, family and friends are really the best support groups you can ever wish for. Surround yourself with them. Never face difficulties or challenges or whatever alone. Because let's face it, we all need human interactions no matter what. Because that's how we are. Humans need that emotional connection with others. And they really are important. Because they are the reasons why going through all those trials are worth it. Because no matter what becomes of you, you know that they will always stand by you regardless. They are your support system. Without them, you will find no purpose in going through all the trials. You need them to remind yourself how you are extremely lucky to still have these people in your life, despite how seemingly lousy your life currently is.
I'm not sure if I managed to get the right message across but I guess all I really want to say is that life may not go according to plan but that's not the end. It may hurt really bad but I believe that there is always a reason for why things don't go according to plan. You are just meant for an alternative path and I'm quite sure that this alternative path will be better and brighter as long as you make the most out of it. I guess, it's easy for me to say this now when I haven't exactly experience something that will really throw you down and off guard. But I still believe that we are better than just wallowing in our sorrows. It takes time, but we will get there. And always remember the people around you because if you lose faith in yourself, remmeber that there are people out there who haven't lose faith in you and never will.

I know it's gonna be
[ Stripped to the waist
We fall into the river
Cover your eyes
So you don't know the secret
I've been trying to hide
We held our breath
To see our names are written
On the wreck of '86
That was the year
I knew the panic was over
Yet since we found out
Since we found out
That anything could happen
Anything could happen ]
Anything Could Happen - Ellie Goulding
Ahahaha many enlightenments today. Or rather yesterday. Thank you annoying friend. It honestly feels so much better after talking it out and reasoning stuffs. Like somehow it's all so much clearer and logical instead of when you just say it to yourself in your head.
And yes, anything could happen. Without you to control because sometimes life just happens. It's strange when it happens but I guess it's not entirely a bad thing anyway. At least I know what is important to me and that's all good. Haha! And wow, everything is so much more clear and sure now. It's really this sudden enlightenment feeling. Feels really good though. A burden lifted off my head.
But yea, I guess sometimes you just have to admit certain things to yourself. Even if the truth isn't exactly what you want. Because once you admit it to yourself, you can then handle it better. Being truthful to yourself. You can lie to the world but you should never lie to yourself. Because it just makes you more confused than before when you lie.
Anything could happen. Just embrace it and deal with it. Instead of avoiding the issue and running away from it. Running away is never a smart choice. It may be the easiest but sometimes, you just have to admit to yourself and face it straight on. Because life surprises. And yea, once you admit it to yourself, you'll realise stuffs. Somehow, it will all be okay.

engrish
I realise my grammar and spelling and English basically are quite terrible in most of my posts. LOL! Whenever I reread my post, I will spot some mistakes here and there. But it's ok! The idea is there. That's all that matters. Haha! As long as I myself understand what I wrote lar ah.
Anyway, so this break has been quite hectic. I mean ok, I am going out and enjoying and stuffs but there hasn't been a day when I just relax and slack at home. And I think I won't be getting that until a while later 'cause now I'm just trying to spam as much meet ups as possible. I miss my people lar ah so no choice. Haha! But yea, feels nice to see them and talk to them and all that. Still haven't meet up with many others but yes!! I believe we will all meet up soon!! Time time time.
But yea, I think I really need to stay at home one day to sort out everything. My room, my laptop and many other random stuffs. I feel like I'm quite busy somehow. But not really also? It's weird. I think I signed up for too many things randomly and all over the place that I'm just like going through everyday in a semi daze. Need to wake up. And be on my game.
And yes, results are out. Out since long ago when I was still in Aussie actually. But I told myself to look at the results only after I come back from the trip 'cause I really don't want to ruin my mood for the remaining days of the trip. But ok, the results weren't good. But they weren't as bad as I thought they would be? Like I slightly prepared myself for much worse. So it was somewhat a short relief? Just that it still really sucked. I really need to up my game like crazy. And seriously put in more freaking effort. Be more motivated and I don't know. Just focus and really put in a lot more effort. And stop complaining that it's hard 'cause yes, it's hard but other people can still do it so what makes you not able to do it as well?
Australia! I will post about it later. Haha! Soon enough lar ah! Yea somehow I have many things to do but I'm procrastinating all of them again. I kinda suck lar ah. I know that too. And yes, I will try to type in better English as much as I can. Lol! Or at least not having super glaring grammar and spelling mistakes.

zumbo
Aha not much photos from today though it was a really nice day. I realise, I really love days where you just sit around and talk and not do anything much but just talk and enjoy each other's company. That's all that I need. And do the weirdest stuffs. Haha! And walk around a shopping mall that doesn't have much but somehow we can spend quite long there.
Finally met up with Shaohao today!! Though ok, it really doesn't feel like he actually left Singapore for 8 months. LOL! He still sounds like himself since forever. It's damn hilarious 'cause the way he type on Whatsapp also changed immediately after he reached Singapore. And somehow, time paused for the rest of us while he was gone since we had school and stuffs and now that he's back and we are out of school, time sort of unpaused from Post A Levels again. Aha, seriously can't wait for the next few months until August. So exciting.
Anyway, as usual, Shaohao and Guodong were the first two to reach Bangkit. I was third so I wasn't that bad. And ok lar, today was really just a small last minute lepak meet up. But it was nice. Haha! I really love spontaneous meet ups. And we can do that since we all live a few minutes from each other and can actually walk to each other's houses.
But anyway, today's highlight is the dogs. HAHA! Seriously seriously love dogs. They are so cute and friendly and huggable and nice to just pat and play with them. And freaking hell they are so cute. We went to Shaohao's house 'cause the hawker centre was too hot. LOL! Yes, we are first world. And his house currently has 3 dogs 'cause his aunt put them with his family for awhile.
But omg they are so cute lar!! I can really just play and pat them the whole day. I want a dog. =( I want a Corgi. Corgi you can really just look at them and feel really happy 'cause their legs are just so short and funny looking. Like just looking at them walk to you and you will be happy. HAHA! Nevermind, wait until I have my own house and then I'll have my own dog. I think right now, no one in my family have the time to take care of the dog even if we have one.
And OHYA! Ok I just really love how low maintanance my dear friends are. Seashells are allowed as souvenirs. Heh. Ok lar, the seashells were really pretty so it's worth keeping. Should have taken more but it's alright. Next time, we go there together. Haha! And it's incredible how they can change stuffs that looks perfectly normal to something else. Like ZUMBO. So Swap and I bought a few macaroons back from this famous place in Australia and the person's name was Adrianna Zumbo. So it's perfectly normal name right? I mean yea, you won't really think much strange to it but nope. To them, Zumbo is zhun bo. It's Hokkien for "Correct?" I think? HAHA! Ok, my dialect sucks but something like that ah. And now I cannot really unsee it. Lol! It's so ridiculous but smart also. Lol! No idea how such links can be made.
But ok anyway, OHYA!! I'm excited to use Shaohao's GoPro too. HAHA! And yes, he allows me to borrow from him. =D So yes, if I do really borrow, I will try to make good use of it. But ok, I'm quite sure most likely when I do borrow from him, it would be with him and the rest also. So it's all good. Haha!
Ok lar, today was really just a super nice and chill day. My favourite kind of day. And doing really nonsense stuffs at plaza. So after going to Shaohao's house, Guodong, Minglun, Weiying, Swap and I went to plaza 'cause we had errands. And ohya, we almost wanted to go Teo Heng but we got really lazy. LOL! Yes, we kinda sucks sometimes when laziness override many things but it's okay, we accept who we are. Heh.
Anyway, so Daiso was fun. As always. And I ended up buying a notebook just because it's nice. Yes, Daiso is the best place to look around and not buy anything and just I don't know. We like it there. HAHA! Yes wasting time but WE HAVE TIME TO WASTE! HAHAH That's the best part. When you realise that you have the time to waste just sitting around and chilling. Quite awesome.
And Popular. We actually went in just because we like the smell of new books. Yes, we are not weirdos at all. Wah, I realise, we are really very not normal people. LOL! But ok, it's fun to waste time at Bukit Panjang Plaza. "Cause there are limited shops so you just go in to places just for fun. Lol! Aiya, we really had time to waste so whatever. And went to smell perfumes at the atrium. HAHA!
Then we finally bought food and realised that we actually all didn't have lunch. LOL! And then we went to the arcade. Yes, BPP actually still has an arcade. Strange how it's still not closed but I guess there are still many kids around who love arcade. So Minglun was playing this game that is song tapping thing. I don't know what's the name of it. LOL! But ya, so being such nice friends, Wy, Swap and GD knew that me being me, I would most likely suck at that game and made me play. But it turns out, I really suck at the game. Lol! But eh, at least I never freaked out and give up halfway like they thought I would. Sheesh. But yes, I sucked. LOL!
But best part was when the 4 of us played the game together while Minglun just watched us in wonderment. LOL! It's this 16 grid tap thing. So we all took 4 grids to tap. And guess what? We actually failed. HAHAH! Yes, we kinda sucked. And probably 'cause too many people also quite confusing. But we did succeed in one of the lower levels. Lol! But aiya, teamwork yo. HAHA! Lousy teamwork lar but at least we tried. We are so incredibly lame I can't even.
Anyway, so after that GD went home and we went to the garden plaza to chill for awhile. Rare times when ML appeared. Haha! Talked about the weirdest stuffs like animals incest and children eating hamsters. HAHA! Yes, I have no idea how we actually came to that topic. Aft ML left, we went to EAC because I need to sit somewhere with a backing because I am weak. Sat and chilled for very long and yes, we kinda took the place as our home already lar ah. LOL!
I think this is the first time in a very long time where I actually post about legit activities stuffs instead of rants. HAHA! And overseas trip. AUSTRALIA! Coming soon. 'Cause if I delay further, I would only post about it one year later. Haha! But I guess 'cause today was a really freaking simple day but still damn awesome somehow. I really love days like that. Simple, chilling, talking and I don't know, just damn nice. I guess 'cause really very long never see everyone and very long since we really just sit around and talk properly. So that's kinda awesome. Still so many things to talk about though. Like SH's UK experience. That one will take awhile though. HAHA! 8 months worth of stuffs sia. And also our Australia. Haha! Ok lar, our Australia was just a short but awesome 5 days so we are happy.
And ah, I really can't wait to finally go overseas with them. It's kinda annoying how they know what I'll say 'cause I kinda repeat it so many times but they are still so annoying. But okay fine, still love them regardless.
Something I thought about on some random day. Haha! Can't wait for full strength though. Been so long since we had everyone. Though it will be hard 'cause everyone has very very different schedules but yes, we really ought to and should meet up as a whole. Soon soon! I will do my best to somehow arrange a time where everyone can make it!!
Finally met up with Shaohao today!! Though ok, it really doesn't feel like he actually left Singapore for 8 months. LOL! He still sounds like himself since forever.

Old friends don't always mean that they are your best friends. But if you are really lucky, they might just be and hell yea, they will be stuck with you for many more years to come since they have already been around for so long. And you are crazy hell blessed that you have them as constants in a life that is always changing. You can so proudly say "We have seen each other from when we were losers to who we are currently." And I'm quite very sure that "currently", we will all achieve much in life. It's pretty amazing how we grow into our each different lives but we will always conjure back together because we just will and we just can and because it's just us.
Something I thought about on some random day. Haha! Can't wait for full strength though. Been so long since we had everyone.

ma superhero
Since everyone posted about their mothers yesterday, it made me want to do it too. Haha! But here instead 'cause it's too long. LOL!
This is my mummy. She offered to pose for it I think. HAHA! Though ok, it does look quite very lame.
But anyway, yes, she is really my superhero. Somehow, she just knows when I'm feeling down and sad. Even if she's not in Singapore with me. How somehow she can sense it and will call back home just to make sure that we are okay. When I really needed someone to come and rescue me, she'll come. As long as she is free though. Haha! But yea, A Levels results was one that made me realise how she is really the superhero in my life.
And I don't know. She really dotes on us a lot but not in the spoilt way. I know I am crazy fortunate to have such an understanding mother who is crazy positive and full of encouragements. To her, we never need to do the best. To her, we just do our best. As long as she knows that we gave it our best shot, she is proud of us regardless.
And yes, she's one I miss most when I'm overseas. Or when she's overseas. Because yes, mothers give us this comfort that only they can provide. This reassurance that everything is going to be alright no matter what.
And somehow, she has time for everything. I don't even know how she managed to squeeze time for almost everything. Like it amazes me sometimes. Of course, sometimes she ends up making herself very tired but she will really put in her all. Running errands all that. The only thing I can do to help her when I'm free is to be her driver. HAHA! Ok, there are many other ways to help her too, which I do help her sometimes. But being her driver is kinda fun, though tiring 'cause she really does a lot of things in one day. I'm just really amazed at how she has the ability to do so much in just one day. It's kinda awesome.
That's why I think all mothers are superheros. My mother is my superhero. Who will always come to my rescue no matter what. Who really takes care of my sister and I like crazy and I honestly think that her parenting skills are the best to me 'cause both my sister and I grow up to be good people.
It sucks how I can't really type a more proper and nicer post now 'cause I'm crazy tired but yes, cheers to all the mothers. Without them, we won't be around. We won't be who we are today. And I'm just crazy thankful that my mother has been around with me since 1994 and the best superhero any one can ever ask for.
And I still think my mum is really very pretty and seriously doesn't look her age at all. Like HOW SIA. She's happily watching Brilliant Legacy now and I'm happy about that too 'cause Seunggi's show. HAHA! But she is really actually following a drama and watching it from her iPad. First time ever. LOL! Quite cute ah.
And okay, we were terrible people who left her alone in Singapore on Mothers' Day. But at least I came back to Singapore by dinner! Heh. Though sigh omg, I really want to go Australia with my family. And I really believe I can strongly convinced the parents with my photos 'cause it's really crazy awesome. As in the place. And yes, my photos may be crazy awesome too. HAHA! I was looking at them with my mum and yes, convinced the mother already. HAHA! She went to Melbourne before and said that I looked like I had a lot more fun than when she went. So she jealous. Haha! Nah, so she said that yes, we should totally go Australia and road trip. Heh. Can't wait.
This is my mummy. She offered to pose for it I think. HAHA! Though ok, it does look quite very lame.
But anyway, yes, she is really my superhero. Somehow, she just knows when I'm feeling down and sad. Even if she's not in Singapore with me.

And somehow, she has time for everything. I don't even know how she managed to squeeze time for almost everything. Like it amazes me sometimes. Of course, sometimes she ends up making herself very tired but she will really put in her all. Running errands all that. The only thing I can do to help her when I'm free is to be her driver. HAHA! Ok, there are many other ways to help her too, which I do help her sometimes. But being her driver is kinda fun, though tiring 'cause she really does a lot of things in one day. I'm just really amazed at how she has the ability to do so much in just one day. It's kinda awesome.
That's why I think all mothers are superheros. My mother is my superhero. Who will always come to my rescue no matter what. Who really takes care of my sister and I like crazy and I honestly think that her parenting skills are the best to me 'cause both my sister and I grow up to be good people.
It sucks how I can't really type a more proper and nicer post now 'cause I'm crazy tired but yes, cheers to all the mothers. Without them, we won't be around. We won't be who we are today. And I'm just crazy thankful that my mother has been around with me since 1994 and the best superhero any one can ever ask for.
And I still think my mum is really very pretty and seriously doesn't look her age at all. Like HOW SIA. She's happily watching Brilliant Legacy now and I'm happy about that too 'cause Seunggi's show. HAHA! But she is really actually following a drama and watching it from her iPad. First time ever. LOL! Quite cute ah.
And okay, we were terrible people who left her alone in Singapore on Mothers' Day. But at least I came back to Singapore by dinner! Heh. Though sigh omg, I really want to go Australia with my family. And I really believe I can strongly convinced the parents with my photos 'cause it's really crazy awesome. As in the place. And yes, my photos may be crazy awesome too. HAHA! I was looking at them with my mum and yes, convinced the mother already. HAHA! She went to Melbourne before and said that I looked like I had a lot more fun than when she went. So she jealous. Haha! Nah, so she said that yes, we should totally go Australia and road trip. Heh. Can't wait.

Aussie Aussie Aussie
Ahahaha yes I'm blogging using my phone in Australiaaaaa. It's currently 1.27am on 11th May now. And it's my last day here so I'm kinda sad. The last day is always a strange mixed feeling 'cause even though I miss home, I don't want to go back too. HAHA! I will really miss this place. Like Australia is really a very nice place to stay or live or whatever. And I don't know, it's just kinda awesome. But of course, home is where my heart is, hence I kinda miss Singapore too. But it's still really sad to leave this pretty awesome country.
And I think we are here for too short. Should have went for more days ah. But it's okay!!! At least we finished almost most of the more important stuffs. Though it would have been really nice if we could just sit somewhere for a very long time. Though we kinda did for some places. Haha! Ok, I'll be hardworking this time and get right on to blogging about Australia once I'm back. Cause freaking hell it's such an awesome place. Not that Korea wasn't awesome. Sigh, I just really love travelling 'cause it takes your mind off everything else. All the worries and what not. Like even though I had to do some work here and there over here, I was gladly willing to do it since I'm like overseas all. HAHA!
But Okok, I do miss my family and my friends. Though I have an annoying friend with me. HAHA! Yes, we never fight throughout this whole trip so it's cool. Haha! Just some disagreements here and there but since we are just two pple, it's easy to resolve it and we are who we are lar ah. But wow, I think swap and I are pretty cool in that it was really just the two of us exploring Sydney and Melbourne and we survived!! HAHA! Ok, it's really an awesome country. I'm quite very sure I'll come back here.
And I'm quite sure I'll psycho my family to come. Haha! Since they sort of promised me since erm 2004? HAHA! But now that I've already been here before, I think I will be more persuasive with the photo evidences of this beautiful place. It's a total road trip destination and I'm quite sure we can totally pull it off. Oh man, I really can't wait. Need to make sure the father and the mother and the sister are free. And ok fine, and the me is free also. But I really can't wait. HAHA!
I realise whenever I go overseas, I'll always think of wanting to go back to the place with my family and friends. Like bringing people to where I had been before because the places I went were really awesome to me. Like I really like those places and I really want to share this experience with more people because it's really awesome. Lol! But ok, I know Australia is a place that I will confirm visit again. It's just that awesome.
And it's so big. There are still so many places like Gold Coast, Adelaide and Perth. And Tasmanian and Great Barrier Reef. And many many more. The world is so crazy big and I seriously can't wait to explore this awesome great world.

learning to love what you do
Here's another cheesy post just because I read something somewhere. HAHA! Yes, I'm going to sound really cheesy again but I am proud so let me.
"Some people get to do what they love. I'm glad I get to love what I do."
Yes, I'm quite sure I've mentioned this before. But this dear friend of mine made me realise how yes, that's how you should live your life. You may not always get to do what you love. As a job or whatever. Sometimes, we end up having a job that may not be something we love. But we learn to love it. And that will make a world of difference.
So yes, here, I'm going to remind myself to find the beauty in economics. Yes, it isn't easy. It's crazy hard. I may not like it very much now. It is not something I love to do. If given a choice, of course I would so much rather choose something that I love doing instead of this. But yes, life doesn't always work this way. Sometimes, we have to learn to love what we are doing. Initially, we may not like it. But after awhile, if you see things in a different way, you may learn to love it and appreciate it and that will make everything a lot better.
To be true, I know this concept since very long ago because I wrote "Love Chinese" and "Love Physics" on a paper that is still pasted on my study table ever since sec 3 or sec 4. Yes, at that time, I really had trouble with these 2 subjects and kinda hated them. So yea, it's this concept of loving what you are doing instead of hating it and complaining about it and not enjoying every bit of it. Learning to appreciate it, to love it, it's going to make everything so much better. When you see the better side to things.
I still have a lot of things to figure out but I guess things like that take time. You have to plan out your time really well because let's face it, life is short. Time is limited. Time waits for no man.
"We don't determine the conditions and circumstances, but we can all make decisions, and ultimately the decisions make us."
Decisions. We make them. Yes, God leads us to them. But ultimately, you have to decide. God will guide you along but if you just sit there and expect decisions to be made just like that, then why will God help you and lead you along? If you just sit there and expect help, who is going to help you? You need to move forward, make decisions and think for your future. Yes, the future is unpredictable. And somewhere along, things won't go according to plan. Heck, things usually never go according to plan. But we still have to have a direction, a plan no matter what. Something to work towards. And be flexible and spontaneous to the changes. Because yes, changes are bound to happen. Things never go according to plan but that doesn't mean we don't need to plan. We still have to plan but we also need to be flexible. To know that things won't always go the way that you want it to. But that doesn't always mean that it's a bad thing. You have to make changes according to the circumstances given. And yes, you plan so much but always remember that no matter what you plan, if it does go according to plan or if it doesn't, enjoy the process. Because that's always the best part.
"Life is a game of choice with a single life and no save points, so you had better make sure it's a good playthrough."
Yes, we only have one life to live. For me, I don't believe in reincarnation. So I believe that this is the only life we get to live and we sure hell ought to make the best out of it. It isn't perfect and it won't ever be perfect. But that doesn't mean that it won't be great. And it is your life. You determine your own life and your own life is the best for you. Don't be envious or jealous of other people's life because you are just wasting your time being jealous when your own life can be great too. Instead of being jealous, do something about your own life that you can be happy and thankful for. Always remember to be thankful. Because we have been given the chance to live this life. Live it well. As long as it's your own life, it will be well.
Don't compare it with others because when you compare, you tend to look at the things you don't have instead of the things you have. And even if you see the things you have as compared to others, this doesn't make their lives less awesome. It's just people living their own different life and as long as you are satisfied and thankful and happy with your own life, that's all that matter. Really.
So ok, instead of typing a cheesy post, I type a more inspirational one. Hopefully it is inspirational of some sort. HAHA! But anyway, those sentences that I quote were from Shaohao's Facebook post. He posted many many stuffs during his span of 8 months in UK and I think I've actually read all of it. Haha! Too free. But after reading them, not only do I feel proud of him, I feel like I gain stuffs from his posts too. And yea, it's really quite awesome. He is like some wise old man. Haha! Sigh, going overseas on the same day he is coming back to Singapore. But yep, he will still be around, and the rest will be around also so yes, I really can't freaking wait to see everyone in one place. Though it's bloody annoying to arrange a time where everyone is free. But yes, I will try to make it happen! Even if it's for dinner or what. I really miss our huge big group outings. Where we make freaking lot of noise. Just because.
from here on
Was supposed to be on a flight to Sydney at 1.45am tomorrow but it got delayed to 6.35am instead. =(
But anyway, I guess this means more time to pack and research and be in Singapore. HAHA! Though okay, I would so much rather spend more time over there. BUT IT'S OKAY!! As long as I get to go, I'm fine. I am happy. And still damn excited for the next few days. Heh. Stuffs like that happen but that doesn't mean you still can't enjoy the rest of the trip!! So yes, we have to make the very most out of our rather short trip but it will still be awesome.
I realise there is really a lot of things to do after I come back so I'm quite excited for it too. Heh. Ok, I'm just really excited for summer 'cause summer really really starts after I come back from the trip and everyone has ended exams by then and can enjoy summer with me~ And also, people back from overseas!
Super side note, I realise Australia is really a country where you can totally have a road trip. Ok actually, everywhere lar. Lol! Road trips are always way more fun and awesome 'cause you can just spend your own sweet time. It's just not that cheap so yes, need to save up like mad.
But I really can't wait for all the many adventures ahead of me. All the trips to take. Be in it Singapore or overseas. As long as the company is awesome. It's always the company. And yea, I'm glad that I have quite awesome company in my life. Haha!
And yessss I really need to go Australia with my family. 'Cause we will totally road trip like crazy since we have 4 drivers to take turns driving. And the road is so awesome and long and awesome. Haha! I really can't wait. This is when driving license is very important. HAHA! Almost one year since I've gotten my license and honestly still very excited to drive. Lol! Ok, I have yet to drive without my parents or sister around so maybe that's why. But I really can't wait to drive my friends around somehow. It's damn weird. Like usually people won't want to be the chauffeur but I will offer my services gladly.
So yes, can't wait for the many adventures to take and I don't know, just the awesome awesome many things to do from here on. It's going to be one heck of a ride.
