Bye blog.

Yup, i've decided to stop blogging here and shift to tumblr.... ask me for address if u want, but i won't be blogging frequently anyway.

So.... Finally a last blog post on the end of my mugging life, a post to sum up my uni life.

Year 1, i entered NUS via RH. Was really excited cos i'm living AWAY from home.... made an awesome grp of friends, joined activities, did things i've never done/experienced b4..... freedom! but then my studies suffered. Complacency that was developed when i was in TPJC caused me to be over confident in my abilities. In the end, i sort of flunked my grades. Had close friends who helped me, but still it wasn't enough.
However, i don't totally regret, cos of the many suppers i had, band practices, room sessions, music composition, concert, late night get-togethers, etc... In year 1, i truly learnt to be independent, living in a single room, cleaning my own area, laundry, etc... and i loved the experience.

Year 2, didn't get enough points to live in RH, so i stayed in kuok. Felt kinda down thoughout the first semester, cos it was really really boring. Regretted not finding liling more and dropping by her room in kuok. RH felt kinda distant cos i couldn't join in the activities... but thank god for engine friends who were there with me. Sem2, i returned to RH. Joined choir, floorball.... my 2 fav ccas in hall. =) I knew year 3 would be hard for me to stay again in hall, so i enjoyed myself to the fullest. Although by then, you could see the subtle tension between indy cos of all the stuff that's going on. But still, i'm glad we held on to each other till now. Results in year2sem2 was the worst. I might have regretted then, but now i don't, especially since i've already found a job and know that results don't play such a huge part in my future. I'ld choose the experience over academic results.

Year 3, plagued with lotsa projects.... got closer to the engine friends (thank god!) and managed to pull up my results abit. Celebrated my 21st bday, nothing big, but spent it with that few close cliques of friends. Plus, my dad allowed me to go to japan with engine friends.... my first overseas trip! XD with japan-loving friends.

Year 4, FYP. Struggled like shit to pick up everything from scratch cos it's programming. Thankfully there's hweesh who helped me alot, and friendly fyp supervisors who guided me and seem to have rather low expectations of my abilities, so whatever I did was kinda 'more-than-expected' to them. LOL. Took up a technical elective alone cos i was really interested in that, and i have NO regrets. Totally loved the bio module. Oh, and UTOWN opened, so was happily mugging there with RH buddies and engine clique. haha. Became addicted to starbucks, got closer to rh buddies, and fell in love with the yih starbucks atmosphere. Oh, and i started dieting in year 4 too.... was kinda feeling the pressure of lousy grades, difficult fyp, and sometimes being a loner when i mug alone. But i survived! Celebrated the end of uni life with AQUOS with a trip to Australia... did all sorts of crazy stuff like skydiving, climbing gates of a shopping centre cos we got locked in, stole toilet papers, had htht, ate kangaroo, crocodile, and emu meat, etc... Although i wanted to go for the newzealand trip with indy but wasn't allowed (same for hk trip with engine friends), i should be thankful that i at least got to go for a trip. I realised how much i love travelling so i'll be saving up for trips once i start working! =)

So now, i've passed out of NUS with a general Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) degree, lost 10kg, and i've finally found a job at Keppel FELS. Have yet to start work cos the company delayed my entry. Coming Monday (3rd sept) will be my first day. Harsh environment, long working hours, but it's time to push myself and step out of my comfort zone. I've gained experience in uni, gained new awesome friends, grown up a little, but there are still things i've to improve on. Mainly my self-confidence, which was at an all time low in uni cos of my size and grades. Slowly pushing myself. =)

So as i continue this new journey and chapter of my life, i hope i'll find confidence, happiness and love in the near future. This blog was started for me to rant when i'm stressed and thanks to some friends who occasionally check my blog, i don't feel so lonely/stressed. Since secondary school, i've been blogging here.... So i guess it's time to close this blog, or rather stop blogging here. I've shifted to tumblr cos i can't resist their awesome pictures, and i'm sick of my chatbox being flooded with weird spams.

Bye friends! =) *hugs and kisses* bye blog.
