i've completed my studies..

i've turned 23..

thank you dear for the birthday song at the stroke of 12 midnight.. i love u baby..

thank you miss chua for the lengthy phone call.. reminiscing the past.. we can sorta go on and on talking about the good 'ol school days.. and tuition boys and the havoc we had in class..

thank you for all those who have sent sweet messages and birthday wishes.. for keeping me in your thoughts..

i've spent a decent amount of time at home.. in the comfort of home with family members and with little baby girl..

i received a call today informing me that i've been offered a pretty good position in a reputable company..

life is good..

and i'm grateful for every moment of it..

the 3 years of studying is finally coming to an end.. and i thought this day will never come..

relieved? i certainly feel that way.. more glad than ever before..

varsity life hadn't been all that bubbly and flowery for me.. maybe it was just me.. or not.. whatever..

or its just a matter of me being in the right place at the right time.. right or wrong, it doesn't really matter..

at least i know, the only right thing i did here, was to secure a degree and join the working world in a matter of weeks.. that's what's important isn't it..? that's the only reason i put up with all these crap.. :D

i think i've done alot of growing up within these 3 years here.. i don't and couldn't be bothered with petty/trivial matters.. i've learnt to 'walk away'.. and sometimes, walking away is the best thing to do.. it hurts less that way.. and people can't hurt you too.. 

during this period of growing up, i've learnt to be defensive.. and i wasn't like that last time back in school.. i am an agreeable person.. which is supposedly good, but not good for the ruthless outside world..  being on defensive mode is a good thing.. i guess one needs to defend and protect oneself as you grow older as people can be nasty at times.. AND other people cant be changed..but we can change ourselves instead to adapt to it..

am being defensive but i make allocations for people that deserves my attention and priority.. people that i trust and have faith in.. people that i love and care about..

i am just FREAKING glad that's it is all gonna be over in a matter of weeks~!!!

I AM GONNA GRADUATE ~!!! WOO HOOO~!!!

p/s: am in the midst of shifting out as well.. am no longer staying in the rented house in SP and i've cleaned my room.. shall be shifting my belongings back anytime soon, most probably right after my last term paper next week. gonna bid farewell to both my nice housemates, Sin Ling and  Jermyn.. it was a nice feeling to re-connect and chat like the good old days during a sudden blackout last few weeks ago.. it may have been a short period of conversation, but it was definitely worth cherishing..

p/p/s: and the OLYMPICS Opening Ceremony was pure, surreal AWESOME-NESS~!!!!! 've watched the entire programme from 8.00pm to close to midnight with my mouth gaping and dumb-struck with all the special kung-fu-hu-ha effects.. apparently the whole ceremony was choreographed by the famous Chinese director Zhang Yi Mao.. makes me proud to be a Chinese..

my brain's all muddled up.. but it'll sort out on its own.. eventually..

bah..

3 - 4 weeks of lectures left to go.. due date of thesis coming up..

no wonder the brain's all muddled..

i think my entries are getting duller by the day cos of all this muddled thoughts..

other than that..the only possible reason i can think of is that am getting old and am losing my sense of humor and creativity.. LOL..

recalled a random word, "cappuccino dog.. " which came out of the blue that day.. that was a wonderful day..

found a nice picture of not-so-baby-anymore-Rinchen and me..and the sister at the back adjusting her hair..

 

our siberian husky baby grew up..

she was this tiny when we first set our eyes (March 9th 2008) upon her in the petshop.. and how she captured our hearts at that very moment..

honey.. it's your 23rd Birthday today..

it's my 2nd year celebrating it with you..although it wasnt an elaborated celebration but it was definitely a memorable one in its own special kind of way..

i'm glad to have you in my life baby.. it may not be all honey-moon and heaven-like every day for the 2 of us, but i guess its how 'imperfect' things are which makes everything perfectly unique in its own way..

thank you for providing me your shoulder to lean and cry on for support.. for your comforting hugs during those 'stormy' days.. for being my pillar of strength.. for sharing my passion in food and dogs for sharing your hopes and dreams with me included in it.. it means alot to me dear..

you know what i think the perfect guy is like? he is the man who can put his lady ahead of him without losing himself in the process.. and it described you perfectly well baby..

happy 23rd birthday once again baby.. I love you dearly..
