Nostalgia

It's scary. I forgot my age. I still tot tt I was 19. Last year, I tot I was still 18. It's scary how we are all struggling to come to terms with our age:s



I just went blog hopping. It's sad how people's lives move on and I feel so left out from their lives. Perhaps that's what blogs are for. Sometimes I get bored when people ramble on and on about their lives. But on days like this, I can read a few months' of my friend's lives and still wish that they update more often.


It's even sadder to see people update on their relationship while I know mine will be at a standstill for months to come. I am learning a lot though, on practising empathy and being understanding. I always thought that they were the same thing, but I realised that just because I know how he feels doesn't mean that I will accept his feelings. Sigh... I have to admit that those long talks with my roommate do help to relieve those frustrations. Everything just boils down to "Guys! They're all the same!";) What am I gonna do next year with only males in my household? I will miss u, ROOMMATE!!!

Finally updated!

A blog entry has been long overdue. So much has passed since. Major event (an annual event organized by Imperial Sing Soc), my bday, my trip to Spain and Portugal, and now, my near to end Easter holsL


I would say that my friends really made this year’s birthday a memorable one. I was quite depressed over the days leading up to my birthday because for the first time in my life, I was far away from family and close friends on my birthday. It might have something to do with the fact that I place a lot of importance on birthdays. I won’t say that I remember everyone’s birthdays, but if I do remember, I would do my best to make it a special day. So when it was my birthday, I felt rather lonely. I know I had friends here around me, but I just had this nostalgia.


So I was VERY surprised when my hall friends (Roomate, Anju and good friend Peter being the main organisors) surprised me in my room on my birthday. A&P had baked a cake earlier on in the day and even managed to get most of my close hall friends to turn up (well, they would be in the hall anyway, but it’s still good effort:P) Thank you, Anju for organizing and baking the cake, and for the hand cuffs! Thank you, Peter, for baking, despite having __ (fill in number) backload of problem sheets to finish. Thank you, Jules for the Imperial College red wine, although I lost it on the night itself. I bet some idiot cooked with it! Thank you, Diana, Aditya, Daniel, Martin, Valentina (& boyfriend?), Victoria and Coel. If I missed anyone out, I am sorry. Leave me a message to tell me!!


Before I could recover from being touched by my hallmates, I was blasted away with another surprise party by my Singaporean friends the next da. BIG thank you to Jin Yang and Gabriel. They managed to convince me that we were meeting for discussion on Spain trip. Sweet! Shireen even came all the way down from Cambridge. No words can do justice to the surprise I had that day. Thanks everyone! Other than San May, I hope everyone received a thank you sms from meJ (Oops, sorry San May, I typed your sms but I didn’t have your number.)


And my family sent me a birthday package!_! Thank you!


Yep, much thanks to Joanne Ye, Lishan, Yuxie, Michie, Thong, Jen Yuh and Aris (ha! Aris, I placed ur name last, since u felt sorry for giving belated wishes. Hopefully being "punished" for it now would make u feel better.) for your birthday wishes. Couldn’t have made a supposedly lonely birthday brighter.


Of course, how can I forget about my wonderful boyfriend. Thank you for your present (the earliest to arrive) and for calling me on the eve itself when you are busy:)


Yep, the last thing to note. It snowed on my birthday!!! It would have been nothing spectacular if my birthday is in winter. But this is London, the place which hardly snows, and it snowed in the midst of spring, when the birds are back!!! I may hate the snow, but it is still heartening to know that of all days and of all years, it snowed on 19th March 2007:D
