am very tired.
been rushing around, following the directions my little piece of paper provides.
worse thing is next week doesn't seem to be any lighter.
and though as much as i love ny new N5610, it seems that my comp doesn't seem to do so as well.
been indulging in few selective gulity pleasures :)
but am too too shag to blog about though.
so many things that i wanna say, but i'm fighting a losing battle withe my eye lids

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life -- proverbs 4: 23
i'm not much of a religious person, but there are times i always feel these quotes do make a difference. especially so, the above-mentioned one for this past little chapter of time.
as this is finally the end of things, let me pen it down.
am quite sure a few of u might know that i shown a sincere interest in a girl for the past 2-3 months. she was not only a breath of fresh air, but i truly felt intellectually excited, challenged and confused all meshed together. suffice to say, the complexity of emotions can rarely be brought out by mere words alone. through a series of roller-coaster rides, i learnt many many lessons. for that, i must really be thankful.
but yet in a sense, i'm disappointed in the manner that it fizzled out. i would rather take a simple and direct reply to the face, than for you to beat around the bush and create a dire sense of wishy-washy-ness.
must really thank the pple that have helped me, listened, distracted and allowed me to rant when i needed to :) in some ways, i hope i would be able to repay it when the opportunity do arises. even those little messages and phones call to talk about randomly absolutely nothing really serve to help moderate things out :)
thinking of it now, am pleased about myself being rather clean-cut and straight forward towards this whole chapter, though it wouldn't been possible without those helping hands along the way :)

quite belated, nevertheless
HAPPY YEAR 2008!
brief update on things.
went on a 7 day Vietnam trip to hanoi/sapa! was wonderful to take a break and had the glorious company of friends. not to mention, being exposed to various interesting mindsets and ideas as well. really a fun time and eye-opening experience.
got declined by u.penn. apparently, my essays ain't good enuff to earn their financial aid :(
appealed successfully into the SMU scholarship prog, pending 1st round interview now. feeling good about this :)
joined cheng san toastmasters, after scouting around. great atmosphere and nice people there. embarking on my very first project speech soon. *crosses fingers*
had a blast of a festive period! spent much time with family and friends. stayovers, rowdy cheers, board games, ice-creaming and poker-ing. kinda of a blur now of what exactly happened, think i'm suffered from social exhuastion for a day or 2. still have a few others to catch up with. cant complain though :X
was discussing with a fren that when it comes to things of the heart, one needs to emo for max 2 days and will be over it. apparently, i cant heed my own saying totally though :X
cyclical emo-ing is really quite the amazing. i myself am truly amazed by it. after nearly 3 weeks of excellent health, it can pounce on you, just when your mana reserves are negligible. guess it takes a constant effort to maintain one's sanity, but am glad that it's easier to contain and maintain nowadays.
but i must say the feeling of getting hanged in between is the worst ever. though it may be a vital and enriching learning platform, but i'm never ever keen to visit it.
