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.
