today, i was supposed to lecture the students about mantle plume and hotspots and to keep my promise to "get back to them". but because mdm selvi had alot to cover today, so i didn't manage to lecture....which is kind of sad because i wanted to share some insights with them. but i guess everything happens for a reason?

meanwhile, after reading kris's entries, it kinda makes me feel melancholic about moving on to uni. haiz....afterall, i'm the only one going NUS and it kind makes us both sides of the same coin right?

i think as i grow older, i am more willing to start conversations with complete strangers. like i don't mind talking to people randomly - only when i feel like it. you know, sometimes you meet some people and you get a certain vibe from them?yeah, i was going to a health check at NUS that day and i talked to these 2 girls because they felt good. maybe it's a kind of positive resonance thing.

starting over, making new friends, finding new ways to fit in..it's exciting yet also tiring. that day i was in class and anqi was saying that the dead of SMU told them that you be able to fit in and be sought after, you have to be trustworthy and reliable. if not, no one will want to work with you. he gave an example of a student he knew that kept a list of people's contacts and their characters so that he knew who to work with in projects.

although it is realistic, in a way, it is also cruel. but i just in reality, i wouldn't want to work with someone who leeches off me all the time as well right?

i guess i'll have to enter Uni with an open heart and see where that takes me?

from a broad perspective, we're really all drifting apart in all directions. I guess the only things that anchor me back is friendship...a friend to call and a hand to hold. in times of need, sometimes that is the only thing that matter.
