May
The past few weeks have been.. TIRING. Between work & meeting friends & settling US visa shit, i’m exhausted. But it’s alright, i’m still enjoying my last 3 months in Singapore!
A few days back, i was talking to a friend who’s leaving for New York to work and i realised that IT’S GONNA BE MY TURN SOON. I don’t know if i should be happy or sad that i’m leaving, because i’m just so uncertain about the whole American College thing. Gonna be all alone in cold cold Ann Arbor with sub zero temperature ):
BUT IM ALSO DAMN EXCITED TO GO TO NEW YORK & ANN ARBOR & CHICAGO & TORONTO & EVERYWHERE ELSE. #WIN
Apparently i’ve been infecting everyone with my travel plans, getting them all pumped up to leave sg as well. oops.
Seoul
Seoul was awesome! i really wanna go back someday but i don’t know if i’ll have the time in future.
So.. i have 19 weeks left in the tropics and i never thought i’d say this. but i’m gonna miss this place. I’m not sure why i was so bent on leaving at first but it was probably because of army. Now that i’m actually leaving, i’m starting to feel sad.
Oh well, life goes on and i get to afresh in USA! Woo-hoo
New Phase
Life has been great since i’ve ORD-ed and all, especially all the holidays!
But i’ve really taken an extreme liking to travelling that i don’t think i’d wanna come back to Singapore or settle in a place for an extended period of time anymore..
I don’t wish to be labelled as a Jet-Setter because that isn’t my goal in life.
Anyway, i was thinking about a lot of stuff during my trip in Seoul and i remembered this.
“Don’t Worry! Everything will work out in the end.”
A dear friend of mine once told me that when i was at an all-time low and damn, it really came true for me. I don’t know if i should thank God, or just be glad that i’m Lucky/Blessed/Accumulated good karma or whatever. So THANK YOU! (you know who you are because you probably can see it on your dashboard haha)

"The important thing is to not be bitter over life’s disappointments. Learn to let go of the past & recognize that everyday won’t be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember that it’s only in the black of night that you see the stars, & those stars lead you back home."

2012
So.. I did some thinking over the past few days. From the time I entered ACS(I) till I finished A levels in ACJC, nothing has gone smoothly for me. (even though I had the time of my life back in acsi). But everything seemed to have changed the moment I entered the army. And I mean really everything. Physically, Mentally, etc. Everyone says I’m the luckiest person they know, and I don’t deny it. I turned my life around, got into a fantastic school in the states( who would have known), have awesome awesome friends who are also pursuing their own dreams at various corners of the globe, as well as my loving family. I really don’t think I could ask for anything more than this. And no, I’m not one of those who aspire to climb up the social ladder just to be the most prominent thing on FB. And I’m glad for that. I’m in a really good place right now, and to a certain someone who once challenged me, yes my life is better than yours right now so suck on that. :)
College
The last couple of weeks have been really awesome. Mostly because i don’t think anything that good has happened to me ever since i flunked my A-levels.(according to my own standards).
I received my early action results! Really didn’t expect to get into the schools i got into! (neither did my parents).
Still gonna apply for regular decision, because the other schools might just accept me.
For the people who have read my essays, you probably understand what i’m getting at. i’ll take whatever advantage i can and i am not ashamed of it haha.
