Enjoying uni life...
It has onli been 2 weeks since e start of my 3rd yr in NUS. It has been rather carefree and fun.. ahah.. partly bcos tutorials haven started.. it wld be more stressful when projs n tests start to pile up. But still, I'm goin to enjoy both the carefree n more stressful days in uni.
Its simply fun.
Anway, was tryin to recall ppl whom i've met thru out e 2 weeks in sch.. some weaklings.. some irritants but mostly fantastic good old frens.
One day, i went for a lecture alone cos i'm not taking tt mod w other frens. This sec sch fren was in e same lecture theatre as well... sitting w her frens. She saw me comin into e theatre and asked me, "hey sixian.. u taking this mod alone ah?" (accompanied w a shocked face). I replied expressionlessly, "ya.. why?" and tt joker replied, "wahh.. u v brave leh.. i dun dare to take mods alone one." (look upon me lke i'm a brave warrior)
I showed a v ridiculed, even more shocked than her look, filled with sympathy look.
wat a disgrace to the women population.
Sigh, weakling...
Then, i settled down away fr the weakling.. with my cup of hot milo.. sipping contentedly.. celebrating my own independence.
-------------------------
This evening, I was walking towards the bus stop at forum. Suddenly, i heard a voice , "hey!" I turned back and took a few secs b4 i recognise a somewhat familiar face. "oh .. hi" (give a polite smile). I dun lke tt guy. In fact, i dun rlly know him. Thru one or two conversations, i was completely irked by his demeanour and childishness. I've analysed tt he is a big snob, no EQ, chauvinistic and an egoistic guy... and his classmates dun even wana tok to him in his jc years. Poor fing..
I turned away and tried to hurry on...
"hey, so wat are u studying in nus?" he stopped me.
"fass"
"oh! ME TOO!"
"what are u studying?"
"sociology"
"oh! I'm taking sociology too!" he exclaimed proudly.
(phew.. i'm in my 3rd yr.. u r onli yr 1.. wont rlly hve a chance to take e same mod. thank god)
He seemed v contented w himself. Cos.. he managed to strike up a somewat decent conversation.. hopping tt i will rattle on and on and chat w him.
Just when he was about to ask me sth.. (he opened his mouth n i think rattled off some words), I said my final piece, "erm.. i'm rushing. Bye."
I turned ard and din even wait for him to say bye.
He did la.. i cld hear it fr my back.
--------------------------------------------------
You know.. tts e gd thing abt uni life. U can rlly choose to ignore some ppl totally.. weaklings .. irritants. If u got them for ya projs, its ok.. just try to make e best out of e situation. Its jus a few weeks we are tokin abt over here. And treat it as u r doing a good deed. You can enjoy yaself by watching how they behave in the most childish and insensible manner.
In ya working life, u hve to work w all kinds of ppl... whether u lke it or not. Most of e time, u dun rlly hve e choice to choose who u wana work w. U cant ignore some ppl.. esp if ya work or ya job scope has direct relations w them. Working is more of a long term thing.. It wld be a diff experience fr uni life.
Uni life rocks. ha :D Life is good.
For e past 2 weeks, It was nice meeting up w frens for lunch.. goin for lec tgt.. and spending time jus slacking ard..watching e world goes by.
today.. i had such a fun day. I accompanied her to eat lunch. Then we went to e forum.. sat down on e stairs and ppl-watch. Its nice watching ppl walk pass.. we saw so many funny things.. couple w e same tops and even bags (quite feminine one ok..).. diff fashion styles.. sonic.. sexy man etc. I laughed so hard today..
But most importantly, it was a nice feeling...
sitting tgt.. watching the world goes by...
in a nice n relaxing mood.
The world out there is one hectic one man.. ppl running ard.. rushing to lecs.. and wat hve u?
No need to hve endless conversations to keep us occupied.
Bcos.. hving each other's company is simply a joy.
We have our own trains of tots momentarily.
Yet, those quiet moments aren't intrusive or awkward.
It makes us feel even closer to each other.
The laughings.. gigglings... the telepathy... the same feelings.. the jokes.. the quiet moments..
all so spontaneous and relaxing.
----------------------------------------------------------
I've dedicated some time to myself too.
quality good time for e good old me..
:D

农历七月初一
现在是9.03分，再多三个钟头就是农历七月初一。
这一刻，是属于自己的。是一种很微妙的感觉。
没有特别的开心，也没有特别担心。
华人的农历七月，就是这么一个微妙的月份。
如果要严格地说，这是一个nostalgic month.
翻了翻字典，发现‘nostalgia’也可以被译为‘怀旧之情’。
单单‘怀旧之情’不能很完整地诠释此刻这种微妙的感觉。
应该再加上更深一层的感触：一点怀念还有一种在空气中弥漫着的美丽的伤感。
没有苦涩的滋味。因为，我很风光地挥别了那个舞台。
在对的时间离开，我的收获很多，很丰富。
今年，格外的兴奋。
我写了一篇关于七月歌台的故事。
作品在今年 - 第九届新加坡大专文学奖中获奖了。
很开心，不是因为有奖金和奖章。
开心、欣慰。
鞠躬尽瘁的表演者.
被遗忘的艺术文化. 被遗忘的观众群.
此刻是属于你们的。
谢谢评审的聆听。

She wanted to go home...
About a mth ago, a primary 4 gal passed away because of a heart attack. She had always been a healthy young kid, there weren't any probs with her heart.
She left suddenly.
Just like tt.
Leaving her beloved parents and 2 sisters ( Primary 1 and Primary 6) behind.
xxx xxx xxx
When her sister was still ard, her sister wld accompany her (pri. 1 sister).. bought food for her and the sisters would enjoyed their meals together during the break.
After her sister left her, she tried v hard to get used to having recesses w/o her sister.
Today, during her recess, she suddenly tot of calling her father.
There were no special reasons or so, she din call her father to help her get the homework tt she has forgotten to put into her bag this morning.
She just felt like calling him.
She just want to listen to his voice.
Usually her father wld answer her calls, but he didn't answer this time round.
She began to feel flustered.
She immediately called her mother, who also nv failed to answer her calls whenever she called.
She waited and waited...
Again, there was no reply from the other line.
This time round, her heart sank.
The feeling of fear and helplessness gripped her once again.
And she cldn't help but cried.
She tot of the last person she could call...
her grandmother.
And this time round, a familiar voice finally answered the desperate call.
Her grandmother answered.
She was told tt her parents are busy working or for some reasons, they cldn't answer her call at tt time.
Before she hung up, she told her grandmother tt... she wanted to go home.
When recess ended, she went back to her class. She is a monitress and she had the responsibility to bring her classmates back to class.
Before she stepped into the class, she saw her elder sister (Pri. 6) waiting for her outside her class. Immediately, hot tears filled her eyes and she hugged her sister very tightly...
Perhaps at tt moment, she has forgottened about goin home already.
She only wanted to know tt there is someone whom she loved and who loved her as dearly.. is alwys there to give her some sort of assurance.
She needs to know tt they are still around...
She needs to know tt she can still reach out for them whenever she needs to...
She needs to know tt ppl dun alwys jus disappear..
xxx xxx xxx
My sister and I heard from Dad about this poor little gal and the emotional ride she went thru as she tried to deal with the loss of her sister.
We were at a loss of words.
I turned to look at my sister, who was sitting beside me in the car.
Her eyes were a little moist.
I tot i saw myself.
I hugged my sister and planted her a kiss.

Donuts in the house!!!
Freshly baked donuts posing at the counter... while incredibly long queues of human beings await patiently outside the tiny shop. yea.. u're rite! They are not any Tom/Dick/Haryy donuts ok.. they are donuts from the DONUT FACTORY!
MY ONE-DOZEN ASSORTED DONUTS!!!
YUM!!!
Irene's share of one-dozen :) (my gosh.. the spicy cheese donut is damn nice!! And i've forgottened to order them! Like so well done rite?! Roarrrrr...)
Hiangky's share of donuts! erm.. only half of them actually.. she also bought a dozen! muahhahah...
Queued 2 hrs for these sweet darlings.
ya.. crazy huh! ahhah..
Yeah.. i agree..it does sound crazy.
But its a kind of privilege.. to have the time to queue up for something u desire.. once in a while of cos.
Once you've started embarking on your working life, you wont hve the luxury of such .. really.
Cos' there is no space and time for such 'sinful' luxury.
( an imagined monologue of a full-time employee: "wah.. siao ah.. where got time to queue up for those donuts? my lunch time onli 1 hour ok.. take bus or train to makan already takes up 20 mins.. where got time?!! wat? sat n sun can queue? pls la.. we slog fr mon to fri.. saturdays n sundays are supposed to be spent wisely.. lke resting well b4 another hectic week comes along. U ask us to go queue in e wkends?! li wu siao boh?)
It feels good to be young.. to be a student.. to be able to slack every now and then.
xxx
As the customers inched their way to the counter, finally reaching their destination...
the excitement piles up within their bodies. The sense of accomplishment.. satisfaction...
Like kids, they beam with delight.. waiting to carry tt box of donuts home with pride.
until.. he/she has been told, "i'm sorry sir/madam, THERE'S NO MORE DOUGH ALREADY. Pls come again tml. "
