Its a new year. Already? | Written by 【 Uniquely XC™ 】

A new year, new resolutions, new aspirations, new goals, a brand new beginning . I always liked the start of a new year, because you can leave everything in the last year behind you and move on, embark on a fresh new journey that is free of the burdens and hauntings of the previous year. In a way, every new year is another new chance at life, striking it our, carving success for ourselves.

2009 certainly is a turbulent year for me, entering JC, meeting new people, leaving people, starting a new life abroad, returning home. So many events and emotional roller coasters in such a short period of time. Finally, after so many struggles and contemplation, it has finally came to an end, I have rode through this mess and emerged unscathed, and even victorious to some extent.

Looking forward to 2010, another new challenge awaits me, a new step in my education, a new chapter in my life

University

Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice by coming back to Singapore. You know, before taking the flight back, I was really excited and stuff, excited that finally I can see my parents, excited that I can finally see my friends, excited that I can revisit places that I missed. However, such an empty excitement has imploded ever since I set foot on Singaporean. I do not know if it is the change in me, or is it the change in others and their expectations of me, but I feel that everyone is distant, not just friends but also family.

More disagreements with family members, more squabbles with friends over minor stuff, more frustration over not being able to schedule everything I want to do

This trip certainly has not turned out so well, that is not to say that everything turned out badly though, there are certainly some high points such as the class's Christmas party and all the movie outings etc, but why do I get the feeling that those are just facades, people are hiding feelings, obscuring their thoughts..

I dont know, maybe it is just me

I detest people who are unable to keep secrets, you know who you are

Exam Results | Written by 【 Uniquely XC™ 】

I am posting this in the wee hours of the morning, but I am too excited to withheld this info. My exams results are OUT! 94% for english, 98% for math and 93% for bio, and an average of 95%, which is exactly what I set out to achieve in the first place XD Going to school to collect report cards later, which would show the marks in more detail I hope.

But certainly I am satisfied with the results so far :D

The time has finally come

A new Skin | Written by 【 Uniquely XC™ 】

Under the recommendation of Juliana Ng Zhi Yuan, I have finally changed my blog skin and I must say it looks quite nice, a change from all the cuteness of the previous watermelon skin. I am now embracing the emo side of me XD

Exams are officially out!!!! I think I did my best and whatever the results, I am happy with what I have achieved. Now, it is 3 weeks of relaxation and fun before the turmoil of school starts again on 11 January 2010. Another new year, new dreams, new resolutions, new environment and certainly new people to meet and interact with. Certainly, I am looking forward to that and at the same time, look back to 2009 as a year filled with joy, excitement, despair, sadness and definitely something that is memorable. :D

A lot of things have been happening, good things actually, firstly, I managed to get a scholarship of 1125 CDN for next semester, which means I can take another course to boost my average up XD AND it counts for my university application Yippeeee! This definitely made my day during the exam period.

For now, it is back to work, I am TRYING to start looking at the stuff that I am learning next semester, Calculus and Vectors, Economics, Writer's craft and Chemistry.

Finally, the end is near

Monthly post | Written by 【 Uniquely XC™ 】

On gosh, my blog is becoming really dead, it has been like a month since I last posted and I must say a lot of things have passed and I am now feeling really lost and pissed off actually..... changed my blog skin to the one in my other dead blog, cant be bothered to search through the millions of skins out there for a nice one, so here you go FOR NOW

Exams are coming in around 1 week and I havent really started revising much at all, ARGH, I have a feeling that I am going to screwed, and my marks are sliding for english and I have only manage to increase my pathetic bio marks by a little bit, like 1 or 2%. Math is the only one holding steady at 97%, which I must say, I am impressed with myself, but I should not be proud, continue to work hard for the last stretch.

It has been one semester since I came to Columbia International College and I must say I have kinda of gotten used to the place here, made a bunch of friends and learnt a lot of new things. I think I am in a third space, stuck between the realms of my past and the aspiring future in front of me....this coupled with exam stress really makes for a bad combo + I am starting to develop a sore throat from drinking too much hot chocolate (It is such a nice feeling esp in the cold day like everyday in Canada).

It is really hard to imagine tmr I would get my uni application pin number, I AM GOING TO UNI, it is like so fast lor, I still imagine myself a year ago, innocent and childish. It all looks so distant, I seem to be like a completely different me. I dont know if other people see the change, but I think what matters is that I feel more grown up and more confident to take up the challenges that await me in the future.

Still looking forward....

Finale | Written by 【 Uniquely XC™ 】

Ahh.... Finally I can post something on blogspot yea. It has been an agonizing 3-4 weeks without blogger and I can finally spill my feelings and thoughts yea. A lot of things have happened in these weeks, I got my mid terms, went to Canada's wonderland, which caused spark between me and someone else when I mentioned it haha and Toronto stayover. I shall not elaborate on them as it would take pages, plus they are all over, so no point already.

This week going to Toronto again to some chinese shopping mall, which is touted to be the biggest in North America, that must be something eh, BUT I cant buy anything cause I am broke, only around 300 dollars left ARGH. And my mum is not sending any more money cause the exchange rate sucks, so now I am a little poor kid stuck in a faraway land, how amazing is that -.-

The weather is getting really cold now, entering the -ve zone soon and snow is imminent, probably mid or late november. Not that I am excited about it (I would be bloody freezing) but I think it is definitely a welcomed change from the hot and humid weather i have been experienced for the past 17 years.

I have selected my courses for next semester, Economics, Chemistry and Calculus and Vectors AP, which is something like a uni year 1 course, can you believe it, someone who fails math perpetually takes a university level course haha XD not that I wanted to take it, but my teacher asked me to okay and some more he is nice and teaching that course, so no point rejecting.

im posting in my freinds house now muahahahaha, I am sooo enjoying myself here. I think it is soo much better if i stay in a proper house than in a dorm. There is so much more freedom, much better food and much better place to sleep in. Somehow, it made me think about my own home.

Miss my bed, my room and the toilet - sounds weird, but i am accustomed the way everthing is arranged. HAHA, this sounds really stupid, but i do.

Yesterday while skyping with mum, my little brother cried when he saw me on the screen, i dont know if it is because I look foriegn to him or he really misses me, haha, I hope that it is the latter. But it is at that moment that I realised how much I miss everything about Singapore.

But looking forward to canada, I am going to Canada's wonderland this coming saturday, OMG, i am so excited, really cant wait for it. They said there would be haunted mazes and rollercoasters in the dark, this is so cool!!!!!!!!

I <3 October
