yesh! i'm finally back... it's been an interesting n wonderful experience i think. well, i'm glad i went but i'm not sure whether i'll return again nxt year. mebbe it's coz i'm still doubting our abilities to offer substantial help to the pple there within the short periods tad we r there. think i've never realised how much i disliked city life n its pple until my experience there. it's amazing how competition n stress forces out the ugly side of pple. kenny said mebbe we r all inherently made out to live on vast lands n not high-rise buildings. mebbe. the purity n innocence of the children n pple at the olive connexions is sth i'll nvr forget. (will post pics up 4 u guyz later when i get them) it's quite difficult 2 explain unless u've been thru it urself. wad i hope is tad these thots n feelings dunt get eroded by the routine n mundanity of everyday life in a few mths time. it's easy 4 pple to want to do wad they feel is correct, but it isn't easy for one to carry it out in our daily situations...

was reading my bk 4 a large part of today. the bk tad i bought b4 sch started, bt hadnt a chance 2 touch it after tad. u noe i read more pges of it den i did over the past 4 mths. how sad can tad get, hahz. aniwae, saw this paragraph:
"We fall back into silence. I look around XO Cafe and notice that chatter mostly happen at tables where diners are young and hip. The older couples, the ones sporting wedding bands that wink with their silverware, eat without the pepper of conversation. Is it because they are so comfortable, they already know what the other is thinking? Or is it because after a certain point, there is simply nothing left to say?"
sounds damn sad rite. it's this couple in the story who realises that other den the children, they dunt realli haf anyth to tok abt. seems like this is the inevitable fate of most married couples, be it frm bks or seen in reality. issit possible not to tread this path? if u noe this is the end, then wad for begin it? wads the point of marriage then if u eventually will nt be able to carry a conversation with the one person u thot u wanted 2 spend the rest of ur life with...?
juz some random thots abt the stuff i read...
aniwae, it's acty a realli interesting bk. think a lot of pple wld haf heard of it b4. quite famous. jodi picoult's 'my sister's keeper'. kindda makes u think how far will u go 2 save a loved one. acty, hahz, i think parents shld read it. it kindda makes u realise how easy it is 2 neglect a child n take things 4 granted simply coz the problems of ur other child juz seems bigger n more impt. sad fact of life. think it's a very easy mistake tad parents commit. how u juz leave a kid 2 his/her own devices juz coz everyth is smooth sailing 4 him/her. can try reading it if u haf time.
oh yar, went 2 my aunt's place 2 collect my contact lenses in the afternoon today. all the way at bukit timah plaza. den after tad i decided 2 go down the the ntuc there 2 get sth. whoah, the ntuc there special one lor. gt this whole new section on australian foodstuffs. den gt so much cookies, all look so unique n so nice. hahz, took me alot of determination nt 2 buy them lor. cannt eat all these things liaoz lah. ate so much during exam period. feel fat. wait until i get back frm yunnan first. hahz. den gt this wholeshelf of arnott's cookies. nt juz tim tam's. n the tim tam's alone gt so many flavours lor!! hahz. i sound crazy. aniwae, so in the end, i juz bought one packet of chocolate sticks n left. ate it on my way 2 the busstop. it's freakin nice lah. nxt time i go there again, cfrm go buy again. hahz.
2.5 more days to yunnan.

sigh, it's been almost another month since i updated anything. i bet pple are realli wndering if uni's tad bad. like all the gals entering uni juz ceased updating for lone periods of time. hahz, mebbe we're juz realli bad at time management. aniwae, exams juz ended 2 days ago 4 me, shifted back home on saturday after dinner with shahri, den went 4 og bbq ystd nite. woke up at 1plus 2day. guess im still recovering frm my slp deficit during exam period. although i think im one of those tad slept the most during the exam period liaoz. i tell u, medical students r amazing. some of them can survive on 3/4 hrs of slp a day one lor. amazing sia. hahz, i seem so slack nxt 2 them sia. but den again, guess it's a matter of habit lah. aniwae, exams was okay i guess. difficult i think but livable. realli hope i passs my physio sia...
aniwae, gg to yunnan in 5 days time n i still haven started packing. some more im like gg out everyday 4 the rest of the wk. too deprived already, plus haven seen a lot of my frens 4 ages, so cannt help it. =p got mixed feelings abt gg 2 yunnan acty. on 1 hand, think it'll realli b an experience of a lifetime. after all i've done so much volunteer wrk in sg, but dis is my first time doing an ocip project. plus it's a place i've nvr been to b4 n with my frens. so quite excited. on the other hand, mebbe coz after gg thru like a mth of exam period, sometimes i juz feel tad mebbe slacking in singapore, relaxing n having fun is nt bad after all. n like by the time i come back onli 2 wks left 2 sch start. so like my hols will juz fly pass. realli hope the experiences i gain frm the trip will be worth it when i come back...
