Finally... The first post after a decade.




School started this week and so is the gear that has long switched off since the start of the holidays almost 2 months back. I've been procrastinating about blogging - probably due to the fact that i'm still in the holiday mood, and as well as feeling... kind of blurry in terms of motivation for this 2010. 


Wow. 2010. Who could have thought of this 10 years ago right? I mean, a decade ago, I'm 13, just started secondary school, feeling all geeky with my thick specs and long skirts. and high socks. yes. high. LOL. ankle socks was pretty foreign then. If you have ever asked me 10 years ago, I would have never imagined that I'm taking my 2nd diploma, happily in NTU-NIE, instead of a degree/honours in biotechnology. Yeap. My aim was to be a researcher since a long time ago. I knew I could never be a Doctor, healing people, when I couldn't even really take care of my own health and still going in and out as a patient of the hospital too. Neither could I be a businesswoman, when I never knew the tricks and ways of handling expectations, that can be quite ridiculous when you're in Singapore, so I must say.


I have a few thoughts about my New Years Resolution... and yeah, it's overdue. One of them is to be able to blog as often as I can, getting my thoughts down into this humble blog that I have not kicked out of my life for quite a while. Up to date, I believe there are so many other traces of other blogs I've made and none last this long.Thanks to those who made a special part in my life, teaching me to never run away, especially of my own words and outlet.


Another would be saving up as much as I could afford, for rainy days and future prospects. Yes, I may be only more than 2 decades old, but this is the time where so many changes happen. From schooling to working, from having nothing to having something, from learning to experiencing, from being in a family to making your own family. Yes. This is the time where things change so much - it makes you wonder how well you can keep your pace up in this never ending Flyer. 





I went to Jurong Point after school earlier, to get my diary for this year with Shaheen. Not that I wanted it at first, I was looking at the fisheye camera Dha bought opposite LJS, and the lococameras are such a breathtakers. I was hoping to get the camera that you can take two pictures in a frame - but decided not to since I've already gotten my A220 and soon, a m4/3.


The 3 pictures I've uploaded are showing off that lovely book of mine. Pardon the webcam from my Vaio - but I'm charging both my phone and camera at the same time. It cost me $26 - couldn't help but feel attracted to it - as a motivation for my E-P1/2. People wondered how I could imagine myself buying such an expensive barely-there-an-entry-to-a-DSLR. But, I think its just a notion of understanding that when you can afford something you really like, and owning it with your own money, you'll overcome the cons towards it and if there's any mistake you've done, it'll just hit you hard enough and make you learn better. I guess I'm just being realistic and honest here, and I took the 2nd picture with the idea of having the diary as a "zoomed in" hat of mine on my head. Anyway, I want a DSLR, but having a bulky item would definitely deter me to not lug it around, since I'm already bringing my Vaio, and my other necessities and notes that can hurt my shoulder after a long day.





Hah. Stumpy fingers of mine. Anyway, tomorrow would be such a long day, that I would only have an hour break with an eight-hour tutorials. Crazy? but true.


I don't know how I'm going to do this, noticing myself losing concentration so easily these days and not getting into the flow as often like a few years back. But I'll try to blog as often as I could - in hopes to make myself a better person in language and taking notes of my mistakes/achievements and penning it down before it runs and hide from me. Well. It's my outlet, and I know this is the cyberworld, where my blog can be seen by many from many different nicks n corners of the world - Just that I believe that people should be respectable of the little space I've made for myself in this big WWW and wouldn't be doing anything unnecessary and a waste of time and feelings for themselves. If you don't like it, just leave me alone. Like how the saying goes, jangan sibuk jaga tepi kain orang. heh.


Anyway - today's tutorial was great - we had to write a 200-250 essay consisting of 2 paragraphs. Argumentative. In 30 minutes. It's been too long since I've written by hand, spoilt by the netbook n laptop that I have, it was refreshing to me. :]


Now I know a person who's in the same class as me for DSM. hurhur. Seriously, I think im such a timetable-collector. lol. Been asking for everyone's timetable just to appease my curiousity. Nevertheless, I really hope that there isn't anything that would hinder me from being myself from now on. To control my actions and all is just too awkward for me that it gets me to be the next C3PO - and I'm the worst robot ever. haha.


Oh well. I want to watch my last episode for a Japanese Drama (Smile) - prolly after I'm done with printing any important notes, noting down any important dates on my newwwwwwwwwww diary and getting all prepared before plonking myself in bed to just watch and doze off happily. Haha.


With love. hugs. kisses. and drafts that I'm contemplating to post.
Sal :]
