we had jc og outing yesterday! very fun.. had starters at billy bombers.. the shake's nice! then we went lao beijing at ps to makan.. the food there's nice! :) and ya.. we just chilled.. its dem cool.. almost 3 years liao! time really flies.. we are all separating and going on our different paths.. diversely different paths.. medicine, engineering ( speaking of which, buddy, esther is going to michigan too lei! u must be really happy!), mass comm, accountancy etc etc.. and our dearest friends are going abroad so so very soon.. like this week.. good luck lindy, edward and edwin, levina too.. i'll miss you all a lot a lot.. the loyal supporters of the og.. :( boo.. i hope that when all of us meet again, we wun feel distant from each other.. and that we will not break up into cliques relating to our own profession and talk among the cliques.. no that won't happen.. :)
first day of school today!! rather fun! and it suddenly occurred to me that what i'm going to learn is finally going to be applied in the future! cytology lec was a wee bit too fast.. hope he slows down.. if not i'll really holland.. bah. well.. i got really inspired during the first aid lecture.. the first lecturer was telling us stories about how first aiders could manage to make a difference and save lives during emergency.. perhaps it was the way he put it across, but i was super overwhelmed.. like close to tears, thinking about the difference all these first aid knowledge could make.. picturing someone drowning, and then being pulled back from the brink of death, because someone had bothered to learn first aid and had stepped out to help.. ok, it was not all about first aid.. i was extrapolating the feeling of making a difference and saving a life to my future profession.. i hope i can get to make a difference and save a life soon.. what a noble thing to aspire to! i was truly truly touched and inspired..
happy birthday singapore! as a child, i never bothered about national day, except that it's a holiday.. but as i grow up and understand more about national sovereignty, i find that it is indeed remarkable that singapore has made it so far within 40 years. it's truly amazing! in these times of uncertainty, terrorism, economic downturn, rapid changes, globalisation, increased literacy and rebellism and what not, singapore has emerged a young nation, proud, developed, strong, peaceful, safe, a happy nation for all.. though some things can be improved on, but i think the government of singapore has really done a superb job! *applauds!* 40 years ago, if someone had told me singapore will be this prosperous, i would have dismissed him as wishful thinking.. but wow! poof! sacrifices have to made somehow.. a small country can't be developed, and still have spaces for ppl to experience kampong lifestyle.. so i guess these kinda places will have to be reserved for travelling.. :) national day has finally found its significance in me! :)
sore throat go away.. i miss the girls..
