The Last Day

Tomorrow will be my first day of 5th semester. i feel more anxious than dreadful.

looking back at the past 7 weeks of my holidays, i learnt alot and i think i grew (physically and mentally). learnt about people and alot about myself, as well as things around me. and i feel like i've been that green slimey frog that has been living in her own little well for the past 19 years. so protected and limited. not anymore.. cos she will try with all her might to jump out of that well and look at the rest of the world.

- you dont need much to lead a simple life. although resources available are limited, people are contented with wad they have and make the best out of it. unlike people that has been affected by modernization, keep yearning for more and never seem contented.

many girls in cambodia have been forced into sex slave.

why is it that these girls do not give up their life and continue living in that state of torment, while people here, in Singapore, has almost all that they want and attempt to commit suicide?

- Is globalization an angel or a menace? globalization occurs due to constant transactions between countries- international trade. as people trade, they bring their culture into another country. this causes the culture of 1 country to be spread around all other countries, thus lose their unique culture and all behaves like one.

furthermore, during international trade, the riches benefit the most! hence, causes the rich to become richer and the poor to remain poor. in simple terms, it's like the rich exploiting the poors for their relatively cheap resources.

good or bad? u decide for yourself.

- superficiality
there are guys around who are not superficial. so ladies.. dun be discouraged. such extinct species still do exist. although they like you for who you are, they still drool at the sight mini skirts and the pretty faces. but you know, deep inside they still love you. or at least thats wad they want you to think. hah! but seriously.. such pple still exist. i got into a relationship at a point where i looked the WORST. ya. i know wad u r thinking "u mean u ever look better than that?" but hey! thats not the point alright.

and i fully understand the meaning of judging the book by its cover. it may look boring outside, but the inside may be sparkling with knowledge.

- people come and go and walk away... hold on to your emotions do not let them just splatter. always remember that people come and go. no point holding onto something which u know theres no future. sometimes being hopeful is not the right choice. always remember to trek water even though u haf a float. u never know when the float will deflate. the close of one window is the open of the other (quote unquote nim). so look forward to the new window that is open. and when it's time to let go, juz move on, and probably you'll find a nicer float.

- i've been waiting for things to happen. thats not wad i wan.. i want to make things happen. people might say, "oh.. it's fate... bla bla bla" i believe, u r the creator of your own fate. u direct ur own route and u r the script writer of your play. cliche. but true.

- within 3 weeks, 2 person told me this "Don't Trust Anybody"
hmmm.. maybe i'm too gullible.. i haf to work on that.

so basically, i had a wonderful holidays after slogging for 10 mths (i had my attachment last sem, remember?) this break is ENRICHING! really learnt alot, and absorbed quite a fair bit. amazing experience that i enjoyed. choices that i never regret making, in every aspects. wonderful people that i have met.
