Complicated

After considering all the options available, I have decided to continue my journey on familiar roads while exploring new adventures. Yes, I do know that the afore statement does sound ambiguous and I deliberately made it so. As my current situation is best described as a facade, it is best to ask me in person if you will like the fine details of my current goings.

Even though things didn't go exactly as I had expected it to be, I am glad it turned out relatively well. At the moment, I am leaving my options open as to where the future will lead me to. I always had a plan in life and am relatively rigid in making amendments to it. However, life experiences have taught me that reality doesn't always go according as planned. Hence, I have adopted the 'take-one-step-at-a-time' mentality and exercise flexibility in my future directions.

Just in case you're wondering, I am currently in Canberra =)

Crossroads

Once again, I find myself at the crossroads of my life. This feeling that seems so foreign yet so familiar; the uncertainties, the anxiety, the fear of making the wrong decision.

Should I make a u-turn and return to where I came from? Should I move forward and continue what I thought is my supposed journey? Should I turn left or right and venture something new? At this point in time, I'm still pretty unsure. While I will very much like to remain where I am, the oncoming traffic is forcing me to make a decision. Within the shortest possible time frame, I've gotta come up with the 'best decision' but how?

Even though I hold the power to make the decision, I don't exactly have the free will in doing so. I still have to consider the conditions of my vehicle, the road, the weather and the possible chance of landing in what I think is the destination.

Women's Tears

When used appropriately, a woman's tears can be the most powerful and even manipulative weapon. However, using it excessively and/or unnecessarily (ie. crying over very trivial matters every other day) will cause it to lose its initial power. The result is extreme annoyance and irritation in others.

So, chose to use your tears wisely.

My plans got a little screwed up along the way and I'm having lunch alone. Not that I'm complaining because I pretty much enjoy the peace of having a meal by myself. I get to people watch, eat at my own pace (friends always complain that I eat too slowly) and do my own stuff (i.e blogging like now). Most importantly, I don't have to socialise when I don't feel like it.

However, eating alone in Singapore is highly unlikely in Singapore. You rarely get to find a nice quiet cafe and eating alone in restaurants will bring you pitiful stares from the service staff and surrounding customers. Eating alone in coffeeshops are worse because noisy aunties will bring their misbehaving children/grandchildren and squeeze with you on the same table, expecting you to leave with darting eyes, creating an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere as though I'm obstructing their family time. If not, hum sup (dialect for pervertic) men will look at you lecherously, teasing or waiting for an opportunity to hit on you. Even if ya lucky to avoid all of the above, the coffeeahop will never be quiet enough for a peaceful meal. That's the reason why I like to get take aways.

I'd better enjoy my peace now before returning back to Singapore.

Blogger in Chinese

I typed blogger.com and everything showed up in chinese.


Seriously, I've no idea why. The language chosen for my OS is US English (I can't imagine using it in chinese. I would have freaking no idea how to navigate my way around; I don't even know what's an icon or a folder called in Chinese) and I blog in English, so how can the website displayed be in Chinese?

I Conquered It

If all else goes well, I'll graduate with a BSc Psychology at the end of this year.

If all else goes really well, I'll graduate with a BSc Hons Psychology at the end of next year.

If all else goes extremely well, I'll be a post graduate student at the start of 2013.

*fingers crossed that I didn't screw up my advanced statistics exams on Friday* Otherwise, I am pretty much screwed.

So, basically today marks the last day of my undergraduate studies (after sitting for my last paper).

Very random but I feel like typing this:

Q. 大学生了没?

A. 早已是大学生, 而且年底就毕业了!
