Finally.....new sem!! It's been too long, seriously. But I'm thankful for the time that I had to, shall we say, pursue my personal interests.
This semester I'm going to have about twice the headache I had over the last few sems, I suppose. Just looking at the subjects and the contents are enough to make us all sigh. And there's STILL maths subjects! Darn.
Being not a study person, I suppose I'm gonna have to put in extra work for this sem. Plus i gotta balance my time between work and play. Sheesh.
Got three new classmates this time, two Chinese and one Indian. Same case as last time, one and only female in the whole class. Nice people in general, but kinda hard to communicate with them since I'm not very good in speaking Mandarin.(Gotta learn, I guess.)
Well, that's it for this post. Will post sometime when something comes up.
I just hope I can cope with it this time.

A Little Something to Think About
It's been a awhile since my last post......been quite busy these days. It's so tiring these days......hope to get my mind off things for a while.
Been chatting with a friend of mine from college today, discussion went on from music to games to useless stuff like wasting time talking on how to waste time (useless isn't it?) until the topic of "romantic relationships" came up.
Hard topic to talk about, normally, except when speaking from personal experience. She told me that due to an incident 3 years ago, she didn't believe in "love" anymore. Well, what could I say? It's all your fault? Obviously not. More like "There, there my dear, don't cry" kinda thing.
As I read on, one thing became apparent to me; people are very funny. She said to me, " A relationship is not a relationship when one in a couple have no feelings towards the other."
I said to her, "Well then, are you telling me to give up?"
If, and only if, someone starts to have feelings towards another party can something come out of it, no? Yes, the feeling should be mutual, and yet, some people think if it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be. So might as well give up.
Everybody has flaws. Everybody will be rejected in their relationships one way or another, at one time or another. And then what becomes of that? Just because one relationship ended in a bad way means no more relationships? Well, then you could say that just because a meal tasted bad then you aren't gonna eat anymore? Or because the air smells bad then you aren't gonna breathe anymore?
Get up, I say. Get up and keep moving forward. The past is history, the future is a mystery. Today is a gift, thats why it's called the present.(Thanks Dave.)
Keep moving forward. Experience life in all it's abundance. Give yourself a chance to see the beauty of the things God has given you. Live. Even if you fall down, always know that someone somewhere will pick you up and help you move on. And if someone falls in front of you, help them to move on in their life. We are flawed, which is why we need each other. And through helping others and yourself, you will find yourself. That's what it means to be human.
Think about it.
