missing home already..

haha sorry for the one-lined post yesterday..but after spending a couple of hours trying to fix the new layout I was so sick of staring at the computer screen..haha I'm so glad I don't have to take computing next sem at NUS anymore..it would have been one of my core modules..

Anyway I just got home..spent the afternoon celebrating chee's and june joo's birthdays!:)I'm happy for any time spent with the rgs girls..haha they were discussing bidding and modules a lot today..I'm so glad I'm spared the horrers of bidding this year..haha I recall recklessly splurging points on modules last sem cos I had the mentality that I wouldn't be needing any points this sem..good thing things worked out the way I'd hoped..or I'd be in trouble now..

Somehow it still doesn't really feel like 2005 yet..think its cos I haven't started school yet. But I don't think I'll ever really be fully prepared to leave Singapore to start school..I guess it'll only hit me after I leave. So far, most of the people I know who are studying overseas tell me what incredible experiences they're having, and how much I'll learn. I still can't help feeling sad at the thought of leaving. My mom and sister keep telling me I'll ba back in a few months; its not like I'll be gone forever. True, but just the idea of leaving home, leaving this comfort zone, leaving my friends and family, leaving the place where my whole life revolves around is sad. I'll definitely try my best to keep in touch with everyone here, but there's no denying the fact that the distance will keep me from being a part of my loved ones' lives to some degree at least.

Meeting up with all my friends over the holidays is just making me miss home more and more..ok I should start thinking ahead, and I need to think optimistically. I'll get to study something I actually want to study. I'll get to meet people from completely different places, hopefully make new friends and learn from them as well.

oh and my apologies to everyone squinting at the screen..I'll try to fix it so the words are easier to make out...
