A lot has happened since my last post...where to start...ok firstly, I'm currently sitting in my dad's study room using his computer cos my computer died!It kept hanging and went completely dead when I tried to restart it..

next important thing that happened...I got accepted into university of tasmania.I felt really weird when I received the news on friday morning...I felt both happy and sad..guess I didn't really expect to be accepted after western australia rejected me..I spent the whole of friday and the weekend thinking..I have to make a decision quick or I won't be concentrating on my final exams at all..

Lionel told me that my mind's actually already made up..I actually think so too, but I'm just feeling confused cos I don't know what's more important to me..my sister outlined it for me..I really want to do medicine, but I really want to stay in Singapore as well..everyone's telling me to make the right decision for the right reasons..

ruth happened to call me yesterday morning from london..she was raving about life there and how much she's learnt and experienced in the short month she's been there..I'm really very happy that you're settling in so nicely ruth!I do think going overseas would be a good oppurtunity for me to learn independance and also to pursue my dreams..so why do I feel so sad?my sister says its natural for me to feel sad at the thought of all that I'm leaving behind..yes I will miss all my wonderful friends who take time out of their busy schedules to read this boring blog, I will miss my family members who have supported me and encouraged me to pursue my dreams..Lionel: I'm sorry I was especially quiet today, but know that I will miss you very much :(

God has truly blessed me by giving me this chance..and I intend to make the most of it..but I can't help feeling happy, scared, apprehensive but excited all at the same time..everything just feels so surreal..I can't believe just 2 days ago, I was still mugging for my chem engineering final exams..sometimes things really don't turn out the way you expect them to..

I checked out all the related tasmanian info online...the studying environment looks really nice, even though the weather's awful..haha my sister's fiance told me his friend studying there put it this way: Its too hot to stay in the sun but too cold without the sun..some pple would prefer city life in melbourne or sydney, but I would actually enjoy the peace in more quiet areas like perth or tasmania..

so has my decision been made?I guess so...people I'll probably be leaving in the third week of february..the week right after my sister's wedding..heh so many happy events!thanks everyone for all the encouragement you've given me:)

I'm basically on holiday now!no more thermodynamics and differentiation and integration... :)

jing: haha buy me a car and I'll drive you around!:)
deb: heh thanks!it'll be your turn next to pass!
nad: haha thank you...I really miss you!it feels like you've been gone for a really long time already :(
pips: erm it would be a bit dangerous to allow a colourblind fellow like you out on the roads...haha kidding!you mean they don't allow you to take drive because you're colourblind?
cheng: haha sure I'll pick you up..if you ever wake up on time!I can't believe you missed our friday lunch AGAIN!!!!haha
lynn: heh thanks!how've you been doing?hope u're not too stressed with school..sigh wonder if i'll be as stressed as you over in tasmania..
nic: haha funny you should mention studying...cos I haven't touched a single book over the weekend!been thinking and thinking the whole time away...I miss you too!
