miss the days in Ngee Ann

Had a bad sore throat 2 nights ago that caused me to wake up to a fever the next day. Though I didn't behave like a sick person at all (hahaha 过来人 will know!), I'm so blessed to have lovely people who took great care of me and nursed me back to health in such a short while. So look after your kinship and friendships!

Talking about friendships, there are some friends whom I tried so hard to keep but fate has it that they just have to leave. On a lighter note, there are also friends who stick with me through thick and thin though I did not do a good job at maintaining the friendships. I've been doing a lot of "I'm sorry but I really have no time to ... because I am rushing my ..." last semester. But friends and family members who are understanding enough to my crazy schedule, despite my persistent absence in their lives, made me guilty and of course, thankful. And I've learnt that nobody is too busy for anything, so I am going to make the effort to be there for these people as far as I can.

I guess the reason why people are always so busy is because we are often judged by how fast we can get something done, how fast we can go, how much we can do, how many things we can at the same time, how fast ..., how much ..., how far ... . The society seems like it can't and will not slow down and because of this, we are unable to slow down as individuals. Life goes by fast enough, we really need to slow down and smell the roses, if life permits us to.

Anyway, life can't get any better now that it's holidays (say yay to 4 months!) and I get to spend more time with my friends and family. Sunday is the official family day and I love how we spend time together as a family without having to worry about incomplete assignments/revision. Volunteered for some event that's happening this Sunday with my mummy. heh. Ages since I've done something meaningful. Then weekdays are spent catching up with my friends and nannying for mum.

Had a good outing @ the Mind Cafe with my JC friends, the Brewerkz with the girls, Cafe Cartel with part of the girls and accompanied Joyce to pursue her dreams with Ah niao. Appreciate so much the time that I have to do what I want now :) Photos up soon, goodnight world!
