two more

So two more days to 2015. 2014 has been one hell of a crazy year. So many things happened and it's all in the mixture of good and bad. I would say that this year really was a pretty difficult one. But yea, I made it. Haha! It's honestly very very strange to be celebrating New Year's overseas and 2.5 hours behind instead of being back in my bright and sunny and beautiful island. Haha! Ok, the homesickness isn't that bad anymore. 'Cause I'm coming homeeeee.

I guess 2014 has been a year where you realise how time is really slipping out of your hands slowly. How you have lesser control of it and each and every moment is precious. How life goes on. And yea, you carry on.

Not  exactly in a proper mood now to do a nice reflection thing so I guess the beter reflection posts will come in 2015. HAHA! It will be late but better late than never. And also, my yearly thanking of impt pple in my life. Though, the people are still the same old faces HAHA! So actually no need to post lar ah. Heh.

But yes, nevertheless, can't be more thankful for them. These people who are just important in many ways. I really am blessed with many good people around me. And yea, it's really the people who I know will be there in my life for many many years to come and I'm just so damn thankful for it.

2014. It is a pretty confusing year. I'm just glad that yea, it's over. And 2015 is gonna be here. Not looking forward to school though. But that's besides the point. 2015, I really hope it will treat me well. And yea, I really have no idea what to expect though. I just know that I need to work really hard. And yes, also spend time with people I love. Because I didn't get to do so this December.

But yes, this India trip really has been a great experience. Something I will never regret. Though heh, probably because of the travelling part. But besides that, I do learn some stuffs along the way. So it really was a great experience. But yes, more on that later.

I think the ten thousand posts that I owe will probably be done only in summer. Aha, procrastination at its finest. But ok maybe I'll squeeze some stuffs here and there. Reflection is really important though. Or rather, I value reflection a lot. And I do write down stuffs at random places here and there. So I guess it's alright.

And photos. Still my favourite form of remembering stuffs. Though I'm a horribly lazy photographer. I think I'm really a people photographer. You give me a group of people I like and want to take photos of, I will spam like crazy. If not, it's very hard. And ok, nicer scenary also not that bad. But yes, I still love taking photos of people more. That emotions and all. It's just different.

So yes, I think I should probably sleep soon. And yea, nicer and better reflections next time I hope. Haha! This is like really just me rambling on about the most random stuffs. So I'm gonna stop here now.

想家

[ Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just want to go home ]

Home - Westlife

Yea, the homesickness is kicking in very strong. Probably due to the after effects of eating too many salty and spicy street food that may not have been very clean. But yea, I really miss my mum's cooking and everything else about Singapore. My homeland. Forever more. =(

Like sigh. Ok honestly, Mumbai hasn't been that bad. I don't feel alone all. It's just I miss people. My family mainly. Like I really need my parents and my sister I realise. Like cannot too long away. Like how I'll miss them if they go overseas for a long time also. Yes, I am a dependent kid. So I really don't know how exchange will go. But I guess exchange will be a different place? So maybe it's different.

Not saying that India is not great all. But safety wise, it's really not. We are lucky to be in Mumbai 'cause it's the safest out of all cities in India apparently? Like according to my boss and colleague. But being a different colour skin from the majority of the people here, it's not very different 'cause you get random stares actually. Though I know some of these stares are just curios stares but it will make you feel kinda uncomfortable. Though ok, I'm sort of used to the stares already. Just focus on keeping my stuffs safe and the destination ahead. HAHA! But ok, it's not as if I don't look around too. 'Cause yes, it's important to look and observe your surroundings from time to time, especially when you are overseas.

And I'll admit that India is honestly a beautiful country. And their people aren't all that bad. There is just that minority who are bad which makes everyone thinks that the majority is so. But that's a very bad stereotype. But also, it's hard to not be wary of people though. Even though they are genuinely being very nice. But I guess sometimes you really just have to have some faith and trust that not all are bad and I am so thankful for all the extremely nice Indians I've met so far. They are really pretty nice and helpful.

But yes, I really still miss Singapore. This is really the longest I've ever been away from home. Away from my family and friends. Sucks sia. Like didn't know I will feel so homesick. Usually I don't feel homesick? Or I'll only feel it when I'm near the end of the trip. But I still have 2 more weeks. Ok lar, 11 more days. HAHA! Which Nisa helped me point out and I actually went to count 'cause somehow you just lost track of time when you are overseas.

But sigh. Really miss all the people in Singapore. And the food. The safety. Maybe 'cause honestly it's really not busy here in terms of the working part. So there isn't a lot of things to do. Maybe that's why I feel weird? Like too free in a sense. When I'm actually supposed to be working here. HAHA! But ok, I'm still really thankful to be here and all. Like the experiences and stuffs. Ok besides the experiences, the people. It's always about the people and I'm really glad to have met and know my boss 'cause he is really quite unique. Haha!

ELEVEN MORE DAYS!! And I'll be back to my bright and sunny Singapore. HAHA! Which ok I heard the weather has been quite screwed up but oh well, still awesome. Still my home always. I miss my bed. =( I think after hugging my parents and my sister, my bed is what I'll hug. Ok, after bathing first though. But yes, my bed.

IN-DEE-EAR

Shouldn't be posting now but I'm really restless at work and don't feel like writing leggit stuffs so here I am. HAHA!

Anyway, India has been pretty decent to me. I mean yea. Culture shock on the first few days but we adapt and learn. Haha! And yea, things has been pretty alright and I believe it will continue to be so.

But of course, I do miss home. Singapore, my homeland forever more. Haha! The food here is really pretty spicy so I think my tolerance for spicy food will go up so much after this trip. But they are pretty tasty though. Just that I do miss my Chinese food.

And there are really not much non-Indians around. The only non-Indians we saw were mostly Ang Mohs and generally in the more touristy areas or rich areas. Most of the time we only see Indians. Haha! Not that I'm complaining but I guess it's just really strange to be so much of the minority in a country. Not even minority. It really feels like we are the only Chinese around here. Lol! Pretty interesting I guess.

But yes, Indians are really very friendly actually. And nice. Like when we bargain with them and ended up not buying, they won't be very pissed off. Ok some ah. Some Indians are pretty annoying. But generally, I think their service is really not bad.

But wow the roads here are incredible. They honk everywhere they go. For all reasons and no reasons. And they just drive. Like if they wanna go straight they just drive straight and not care if there is a car coming on the side or people walking or what. So yes, that's interesting too. Ok ah, I know Cambodia and India also like that. And a lot of other place actually. But in Cambodia, at least they honk. It was a lot more peaceful crossing the roads there. And pretty fun actually. 'Cause it's really like trying to go with the flow of traffic. Haha!

Yessss I need to update a lot of posts but there really isn't much time here. Like we will go out for dinner and when we are back, we are either researching for our weekends trips or doing our reports or there is just always something else to do. So yes, you can say we are really pretty busy here? Just that I really have a lot of things to do. So probably need better time management. And also, watching my shows. HAHA! But really no time.

But ok, I'm still really thankful for this experience. I think there is a lot to gain from this and I'm sure it will be a great trip at the end of the day. So maybe I'll post more after. Haha! But wah, I really still owe super lot of posts. That's the consequence of procrastinating.

master's sun

Master's Sun!! I think this is the fastest I've ever chiong a drama. 2 days. HAHA! I was really hooked too it 'cause the storyline is really very unique and it's so hilarious. And ok I think I was crazy too. Study too much and really needa take a break. Heh.

Anyway so this drama is about a woman who can see and talk to ghosts but when she touches this guy, the ghosts will disappear. HAHA! Ok it sounds pretty strange but it's really good. Like I was really hooked. Maybe too long never watch Korean dramas already. But I still think it's really not bad. The main leads are awesome ah!!! So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin. Their chemistry is really the best. And I really love their characters!! It's seriously damn funny 'cause the male lead is so damn eccentric it's just freaking hilarious.  

"Your safety hideout is here. Hide." hehehe

I think it's really just awesome how they really go around helping the ghosts together. How he just follow and help her even though he couldn't see them. HAHA! It's damn interesting. Like sort of blind faith. And they are really very good actors. Like can tell they are really not bad kind.

HAHA I love this phone conversation. 'Cause he was really all smug and happy about her being scared and happy that he called her. Lol! It's so cute. Heh.

HAHAHAHA I love this scene. My favourite 3 guys in the show heh. They really are her supporters ah. Super cute I swear. They were singing a Korean bear song to this child ghost.

AND MY TWO FAVOURITE KIDS. HEHE. They are so cute I swear. Ok fine, I was looking at the kid on the left more. HAHA! But he doesn't talk so it's his older brother doing the talking. But omg they are so cute. And super innocent. Ok fine, they are kids after all. But still so cute. This particular scene made me burst. They were really just standing there innocently. HAHA!

Heh another favourite scene. I can't even pinpoint my most favourite scene 'cause they are all pretty awesome. Lol! And it's really very funny. It's a super feel good show. Though yes, took me very long to watch 'cause I didn't thought much about it at first. Until they show on TV and somehow TV you will watch more since it's there already. HAHA! Then I realise it's a pretty good show. Heh. I like I like.

But sigh, really post drama syndrome. I was really quite sad that the show ended. Lol! But yea lar, probably will watch this show again. Heh. Not that I've rewatched any Korean drama before yet actually. HAHA! But ok lar, still awesome.

few more days leggo

In that mood to do anything except studying. YAYYYYY. And I have 3 days to my first paper. Pretty fun huh. But wow, really can't wait for finals to end. And head to India. Haha! It won't be all fun and games but it is still overseas and yes I'm gonna bring my camera over because I think I really need to get out and take more photos. Feel pretty disconnected with my camera. I feel like just selling them away since I'm actually not using them. But no, I just need to take the camera out and start shooting again. Just stop being lazy.

But yesss I really can't wait. And given that short few days between end of finals to when I have to fly off to India, I really don't know how to arrange that time. But ok, I'll worry later. Or rather, just sleep lesser so that I can accomplish more stuffs then. It will all be fun stuffs and non studying related so I think it'll be cool. Heh. CAN'T WAIT.

So right now, I will try to get back to studying again. Lol! But honestly so bored of it. Though I feel quite happy 'cause I understand what I'm doing. It's just, I don't know if I'll know when I see the questions during exams. But I believe I will be able to!! It's all somewhere there in my great big head and I'm sure I'll find it.

But I realise whenever I study for finals, I will feel happy yet sad. Happy that I finally understood all these stuffs but sad 'cause I won't get to use them anymore. It's like I understood them too late. Like why didn't I understand them earlier? But I guess whatever we learn now in uni is not completely useless. They are all linked up somehow. So that's a plus side. But wow, it's really that enlightenment feeling. It's how I felt the day before A Levels Maths paper when I finally understood Complex Numbers I think? But like I won't use it anymore after the next day. So it's a bittersweet feeling. LOL! But oh well, at least I got my B for Maths.

ANYWAY, so yes, back to studying. WOOHOOOOOO

on a scale of 1 to 10, how will you rate your pain?

Heh. New addition to the list of my favourite Disney movies. Which is already a very long list. But sorry, Disney kid here. Their stories still have a way to tug your heartstrings and make you feel really warm and fuzzy and also very happy. You just feel really good after watching it.

And omg, this movie is hilarious. Maybe it's just my humour but at one point I was really dying of laughter and I really teared from laughing. LOL! It's really super cute I swear. BAYMAX!! My new favourite robot. IT'S SO DAMN HUGGABLE I CANNOT STAND IT. And freaking retarded. HAHA!

But the movie is really good. Like super worth watching. And also, the people you watch with matters also. HAHA! Went with a bunch of kids so that makes watching it more fun. Lol! But ok lar, actually go with anybody also great 'cause the movie is really great. My kind of humour. Haha!

But I swear watching with those kids is really damn hilarious because I was laughing even before the movie started. 'Cause they really say the weirdest comments to the advertisements. It's damn hilarious. I forgot what exactly but I was really laughing before the movie started. Such weirdos.

Sigh, so tempted to watch all the Disney movies now. However, there is this impending FINALS still to finish. Can't wait for this semester to be over. Like seriously. And then I'll be off to India~ Haha! Super looking forward to it actually. Quite excited. Though I think I'm not very prepared but I guess it will come to me. And yep, must read up and research and pack after finals end. But yes, looking forward to it like mad.

And I'll probably do a proper post on the end of semester next time? Haha! I realise I really forget to update about my life proper already. But it's okay! All the good will be remembered. And yea, this semester has been pretty crazy. But I'm glad I've gotten through it. And yea, I'll probably do another post next time. Haha! My yearly end of the year spammage of posts. Also, I haven't post about Australia and Cambodia. HAHA! Oh well, maybe I'll do them while in India.

Love, Rosie

“You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you’re doing, where you are, who you’re with, and if you’re OK. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who could make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy.”

― Love, Rosie (Cecelia Ahern)

Watched Love Rosie the other day but it was honestly pretty disappointing. But the main leads were very good looking. Like for real. Lol! So it wasn't a bad movie experience but still very disappointing 'cause it could have been so much better. I think it's the script adaptation somehow. But oh well, at least they are good looking. Haha!

But this story is really one of my favourites. Not just because it's about all chick-flick and stuffs. The quotes from the book are really pretty awesome. And okay, it was really a good book I feel. I like these kind of stories.

Sigh, I really miss reading though. Feels really long since I last read. The Fault In Our Stars. Lol! Was supposed to read it before semester started but it's still on my table. December ah.

But you see, Decemeber is just one month but I have a freaking long list of things I want to do and need to do. So probably I should do the stuffs I need to do first before starting on the wants. And being away from Singapore also makes it kinda harder to complete some stuffs that I wanna do. =\ But yes yes, experience will be so worthy.

I feel like I did jump into this thing a bit too quickly but I'm thinking if I don't do it now, if I don't grab this chance that is given to me, when else will I? India is a place I know I will definitely want to go someday. But to actually work there, I think it is quite a rare chance. And I think for one month it will be a good enough experience? So yes, I'm really looking forward to it.

And yes, people here in Singapore will still be here when I'm back so no worries. Haha! It will be good I'm sure. And really can't wait to explore India actually. It will be pretty cool. =D

tough men last longer

Feels really long since I post about stuffs happening in my life. Haha! But alright, life hasn't been that bad. Because yea, I'm pretty blessed with really great people around me to make days better. This semester has been the longest one ever that passed by in a flash. Contraction? Yes. But it really feels like this that. This is our last official week of school and everyone is just like "Wow, I thought school just started."

But so many things happened though. For me at least. This semester has been pretty tough. And I'm glad it's over and I think I didn't came out too badly. There is still finals though. But I feel a lot better this semester 'cause I'm really learning. I actually get what I'm learning. Haha! And maybe 'cause all my modules this sem are the kinds that you will really learn something. So yes, maybe I need to take these kind of modules more. Haha! But yea, it really feels great to see that what you learn is applicable. That you are learning real stuffs. I miss that feeling. And I miss my History. =( Maybe I should try taking Political Science mods. They are honestly very interesting. But I'm slightly scared to take Social Science mods 'cause it has been awhile since I wrote essay and stuffs. But should be fine ah. Arts student after all. Shouldn't be that bad. Oh well see how!

But I guess it's also a good thing that I'm getting used to all the math stuffs. So yes I'm starting to like econ mods so that's very very good. Haha! YESSS Things will get better.

And yes tough men last longer. HAHA No idea why I suddenly thought of that but yea just gotta be strong and things will be fine. Few more weeks to the end!! And I'll be free from this. And yes, I'll be going India for internship in December too I'll elaborate more of that later because I'm really quite tired.  So here you go.
