Christmas Eve

Oh its Christmas Eve, and tomorrow is Christmas, and ... ... I don't feel a thing at all. Yup quite sad to say, I don't feel the festive mood like how I used to feel before. Christmas is tomorrow, the new year is coming, but to me they have suddenly become like any other day. Was talking about this issue with my gf yesterdae, and I realised that it was the same for my birthday, and even for Chinese New Year. I no longer feel the eagerness and anticipation for such holidays anymore. Am I getting older? Oh no. Well for Christmas maybe it is a personal thingy, maybe I really am getting old, but for Chinese New Year, I think it is more of a tradition dying, and come to think of it it's real scary. Because of the demise of many of the older folks, visitings have been reduced, meaning that the only chance you have for meeting of relatives you almost never get to see, will soon be gone! Oh dear.

Well one thing for sure is that, 2006 is really coming to a close, and with 2007 drawing near, it would also mean that school would be starting soon. Managed to get 3 of the preallocated modules I want, but then those 3 in addition to the breadth mod I would want to take, makes it only 4 modules! I am still short of one module. After hearing what others have said, I think I would more or less go for South Asian to fulfil another exposure, but then its exam clashes with one of my modules. Having experienced one sem of exams, I know what a disaster it would be to have 2 exams on the same day, and as much as I can, I would definitely avoid that.

And as promised in my previous post, most of my post would now include this 2 words, Arts Camp! Haha, well been thinking about certain issues lately, and think I have more or less come to a conclusion. Hopefully I would be able to settle this by today. From the last post to this one, I have received quite a few encouragements, and this again has inspired me even more. Once again, a big thanks to you all. Really appreciate those encouragements.

And oh, I will be flying off to Shanghai/Hong Kong real soon, and I am sure that will definitely be a fun and enriching experience. It's my first time visiting a country during winter, and it has also been quite a while since I went overseas. Well, that is of course not including the training trips to Taiwan and Brunei.

Ok this post is getting long, but just wanna share something. How many of you have actually been late for an appointment, so you decided to forsake the public transport you would usually take, move to the road side and wait for a cab, wait for so long so much so that when you finally make it for your appointment, you were even later then you should have been, and ended up spending more than 5 times what you should have spent. Yup, I just experienced that 2 days back. In fact, I waited so long that I think I could have walked to school from clementi, and still be earlier. Yes, I am serious, that was how long I actually waited.
