A walk to remember, a year to decipher and a future to look after

It's been a year (well not exactly a year but a whole academic year) since I entered NUS as a university undergraduate. It was then, all about application for student pass, rushing for tuition grant application, long queues on the registration day and carrying heavy bags and luggage to my first ever hostel. I could still remember the rush of adrenaline in my body when I first started my life as a student in Singapore and knowing new fellow Malaysian friends in MSL before I eventually attended my first lecture. It was still fresh in mind as if it was just yesterday. I had GEK2022 Samurai, Geisha and Yakuza as Self or Other for my first lesson. Of course, with my dear friend Joan, we were anticipating how the class would turn out. Then, class after class, learning how to cope with the immense pressure and trying to adapt to the lifestyle, it was soon nearing the first week of holiday, the recess week. Perhaps I wasn't fully adapted to the life here at that time, I was extremely happy when I returned home. In my mind, I kept on complaining about how bland and hectic the lifestyle in Sg, not wanting to return to the solitary life, in which such negative thoughts eventually died down after a while. Of course, now I had already gotten used to it, or I can say myself as being "immunized" , since I would be wandering off to do something else like watching movies or creating a havoc in my cluster (Im pretty known as the talkative one) when I was tensed. Ahh..good luck to my future clustermates ^^. Oh~! Almost forgot, the nerve-racking experience of going for the choir audition, which I had thought I would not have made it. Pretty surprised when I succeeded and also got the section I want, soprano! Go SopDarlings! It was a thrilling and a memorable journey of ups and downs during practices with my fellow choristers. I really love NUSChoir and wish them all the best in their competition in Bratislava. I couldn't go because its TOO expensive. Nothing is free in Singapore, that is the MAIN lesson I received. Talking about money, I also became more and more thrifty on my own expenditure. So, kawan-kawan di Malaysia, janganlah rasa kecewa jika saya selalu mengadu betapa mahalnya perbelanjaan kita. Belanjalah saya kalau nak aku tutup mulut =D. Now, before I even get the chance to seriously think what I had gone through, it is already the end of the 2nd semester and Im heading back today (Its already 2.30am now so...yea). Soon, after the semester break, I will have to head back to NUS to take in the role as OGL for the orientation. Will get to meet with the freshies! Also, prepare for another war when 3rd sem begins..boohoooo~. Alright, time to sum up. It had been a wondrous journey for me. I could say that this experience is pretty much a once in a lifetime experience. There were times when I felt a tinge of regret coming to NUS but now, as I think back, I would not have been the way I am now if I had not chosen this path. So, once again, I want to thank God for his blessings, my family, my dear friends in Subang and also my friends in NUS who helped and guided me tonnes when I had my moments. Really thank you all. I would not have been able to live my life fully without all of you. =) *hugz* God bless~
