Graduating... Have not graduated.

It's been an interesting last few weeks of school... you inevitably have to take some steps back and reminisce about 4 years of schooling- one which you had every undoubted intention of finishing, yet did not know at so many points along the way if you would have made it through...

I hung out with newly found old friends a.k.a faces I see ever so often in school but never took the extra step to get to know them better- it was nice to finally be amongst groups of friends who have had their bonds tighter than I had around my friends as they did spend alot of time together as undergraduates- and I had chosen to spend a year and a half outside of Singapore to challenge myself on my own accord.

You get some you lose some- I didn't find a consistent group of friends I could count on for that after school snack or two, but I learnt how to make fast friends and have tons of them who wouldn't mind my company :)

final test is due on 5th May 2008. I look forward to that day- wait, I would look forward to that day after I am done studying for it. I have to admit, keeping up with the philosophy class has been disturbingly tough- given the lack of motivation to do my best for this final semester. You have this what-the-heck attitude, but I constantly remind myself that if I don't buck up at it all- I am going to regret it for the rest of my life- literally. So I do put in some hard work. So I think.

There comes a sinister obsession every semester during the exams. The allure of chinese wuxia episodes and books as well as comedies is very real. More recently, I have been overwhelmed by a young point guard from the New Orleans Hornets- Chris Paul. I like his fresh and down-to-earth attitude, I like that he's leading a team at age 22 being much younger than the rest of the starters, I like that he's humble and has a very good heart, I like that he makes his team mates better. On a side not, he also happens to remind me of my boyfriend :)

But yeah I have been following the NBA rather insanely after not having much to do with the job search done and over with- that said- I did spend a lot of time trying to objectify my cognitive dissonance with my job choice. I finally came to the conclusion that I am where God wants me to be at. It's a fantastic place to be in and I am all ready and looking forward to my first day of work!

Am going to be meeting up with my Anntic com friends, my JC friends, some of my NUS-alum friends and current NUS friends... it's so beautiful to cap it off like that- just plain vanilla nice. Nothing too outlandish, nothing too plain. Just good old hanging out and having fun- discussing the future... and having to hear from everyone else. I hope we meet up soon again some time- but in any case there's facebook. Yeah we say this now but in due time everyone's going to be busy getting married and having kids and having a career... Wow- how time flies.
