It's actually been a long time since I've posted on Livejournal.
Believe me, this is no easy task.
So far life has been really kind on this end of the earth. I'm glad to say I'm pretty blessed with a lot of good people in my life who emerged in my need during one of my horrible periods of my life, so I can never thank them enough for everything they've done for me: It's just really great to know that there are at least some few good people left in this world.
A rough idea on things on how it is, since I last updated. This is for you, Rae and Yin, since I have been absent for a really long time. *salutes* Sorries. Especially to Yinneh. Thanks for still stalking meh on Facebook: I still do stalk you on your blog when I have time =3
Life's been alright. May had been a really shitty month; not a really good way to start off the beginning of the new term, IMHO but I guess I sorted it out and things have been pretty okay since =] Many thanks definitely goes to my friends Jo, Chen, Ting and Chris for letting me spend a night at their place. I'm glad to have learned a few things or two from you and *laugh* I'm still learning but hey, that's part of life =]
June, what can I say? It's a stable month, I guess. Miss a few things, went for a few things. Oh, did we tell you we won the Karaoke Competition at the Anicon in Sunway? Yup, we sure did (With our sure-as-heck lack of practices XD) but it was a good memory for me. At least. I'm happy to have spent that day with Rachel. Also to Charlie and Kero and Megu, who were also there. Group hug to my team =] Nice to meet Lilian too for the first time =D And all the other people who were there who I met who I just CAN'T REMEMBER their names (Sorries).
But oh! Thousand thanks to Nyan for showing up. You've been really great support =3
July! Eric's Birthday Bash was just great. A few bunch of friends, gathering, and we had a few laughs and all. And then I was thrown back into my prison for more work, more paperwork, and more clicking on the damn pivot points who don't seem to align themselves straight XD ARGH. But all was good. I had a fun month watching like 21 times of Wong Kar Wai's In The Mood For Love for my thesis, and frankly speaking, I'm still in love with the movie (Say what you want about it, Wong Kar Wai is a genius to me XD) I learned from this team project that
communication is really fucking important and I mean, really fucking important. I've had a fair share of moments, which I'm glad I have Chen to rant to, hahaha.
August! Nearly the end of the month, *wheeze*
Nothing much to say about here. All I know was that my mind's so cooped up with work that nothing, really, NOTHING else really could be accomplished at all. But by the end of August, I had a great session at Manga Class =] A really awesome experience, honestly. I feel like Saiko and Shujin from Bakuman - did I mention how awesome a G-Pen is? Well, if I haven't, a G-Pen is winsome, and that's how the story ends =] Had a great time with Chris and Tanyus before they left for the UK: I'm seriously missing y'all now! XD I love our K session: It was awesome. Went back to my hometown for a really (And I mean, really) short 3 days trip, which by the next day, my new term begins. Did I say my term break was only one week? It is, sadly. This is probably the last holiday I'll ever get.
September! War begins XD This is where my really long period of term begins.
Wenji came to visit me on my birthday, which I am REALLY grateful for (Since I haven't seen her in ages, gourd I love you XD) and I ice-skated for the first time in 21 years (not ashamed to admit it. I never really saw the need to actually ice-skate) Ice-cream cake was love and everything has been love so far. I'm good with work, final project's looking up and I'm glad to say, being a banana isn't so bad after all.
At the end of it all, I'm a sort of new me. I've gotten rid of a few bad apples in my life, and yes, that's all good. Who am I pleasing anyway? This is my life, my future; so how I want to lead it and end it is all my shit, not yours =]
So, to cap it all, this is how it's been. A really long list of what I've learned along the way =D
- Never attempt walking from PJS9 to Mentari Court in the middle of the night and back in the wee hours of the morning. It's bad for legs who aren't trained for far-distance walking or lacking in exercise
- Running in the night never felt so good. If only the cops weren't patrolling.
- Friends are those who like being with you. Real friends are those who love you unconditionally =]
- Staying overnight doesn't mean you'll get most work done. If you plan well, you don't really have to stay overnight.
- Have a certain degree to treat people during meetings. When they want to be treated like adults, reason with them like one. When they behave like children, give them a smack on their bottoms and just tell them to go have some rootbeer, play house while the rest of us adults discuss BIG STUFF =]
- Crying is a good salvation at times.
- Five Flowers Tea is great for sleep. But not great when you have to get up to pee every hour.
- Life seems much better when you have something to lean on. Literally. Preferably a someone, too =]
At the end of it all, I'm happy.
I'm going back to researching my work, while downloading lots of other work.
Quote Shujin and Saiko today for their awesome face
=3D
Danke schon
Love y'all.
