a few words before i leave....

"I'm leaving....on a jetplane....don't know when i'll be back again....(yea raaight!?!)....oh babe...i hate to go....... "

It's Week 15....the exams week.....the eye of the storm...the last stretch....the final showdown....the end of one miserable school term....just had my applied econometrics paper today...don't think i did too badly ...hope it won't end up like my stats paper more than half a yr ago......still left with finance paper on wednesday and TWC on saturday....

Haven't been blogging for way too long...see some fungus growing here already....i rem huimin tellin' me that...so it's time to update everyone on wad's happening to me of late....

Flying off to cambodia for overseas CIP next tues...will be away for 19 days...the longest i have ever been away from home, or to be more specific away from mom&pap.....it's gonna be a real retreat from this bitch of a school life....gonna experience a rugged lifestyle, away from the comfort n convenience of home, a totally different environment beyond tis tiny hellhole.... a good time to run a check on my perspective towards life, how it should be lived to the fullest, some reflections of how good and how bad life has been and to seek a conclusion to this whole growing-up process.

It's the winter break (yes, let's just imagine it's snowing outside your window ok?), and i've chosen to park my time (and my ass) in cambodia with a group of guys and gals, some of whom i've only recently got acquainted with....and some whom I felt I've known them forever...
quite motivated by the vigor and passion some of these people have injected into this project despite the tight schedules and the many constraints confronting them. It's a good time to learn from people and to learn about myself, and this is something no amount of time can buy, no amount of pleasure can replace. You don't specify a time when you want to learn about yourself and when u wanna learn from people right? It just happens by chance...and how often do these chances come by?.....a fatalistic way of looking at it.

So it seems I have very little time left from now til next tuesday (departure)...trying to spend more time with mom&pap, catch up with frens outside smu, and simply enjoy the comfort of home, while studying for two more exam papers and finishing up the remaining preparation work for my cambodia trip.

Good that mom&pap are preoccupied with fulltime work now...gonna come home more often for dinner these days, let them have another look at their boy before his physical absence from home starts to turn dreadful (though it's quite unlikely since he's hardly at home anywayz) .....and suddenly got tis urge to speak to sis.....been a while since i spoke to her over the phone.....will find a chance to write her a postcard when i'm in cambodia (gosh, i don't even know what's her melbourne address...sigh).

It's december already...gotta spend time during my trip thinking about my goals for the new year.....how i'm gonna spend summer, what are the things i should do outside smu...what is the missing jigsaw piece.....

hope i'll chance upon an internet access in cambodia...56 or 28.8kbps...i won't mind....will leave a msg here or something....mebbe checking out my grades won't be a very good though..later spoil my trip how?

Til then...
