When Silence Is No Longer Golden

Hi readers! A few months have passed since my last post again and this time I have a big announcement: I've finally broken my single streak! In case you readers are wondering, it's her  :D. It's indeed a great news, but the things that is in my mind right now is not so great... Not sure if it was obvious, but she's not actually based in the same country as me. She took the initiative to make the first visit, which I think made sense since she has more things to do here than me there. Also, I still wasn't sure about the relationship at the time so her visiting me instead of the other way round means less investment on my side Selfish, I know, but even ignoring that fact, she still has other benefits to gain from visiting me anyway, such as meeting up with friends and family, enjoying Asian food, etc. In any case, I really appreciate the sacrifice she made for me, so I reciprocated in kind and made sure she enjoyed her time here (and when we parted, she said she ...

Hi readers! Not a very long hiatus between posts this time round, eh? Count yourselves lucky, because I decided to update my blog just to keep a journal of something that happened last week. Just to give you a background information, I flew to Tianjin, China last Wednesday and just returned today.  The plan was for my family (and I) to attend my elder brother's graduation ceremony but because we bought our tickets before the graduation date is confirmed, it turned out that the graduation would be on Sunday and we already purchased our return tickets on Saturday. Despite the trip being extremely exhausting, things did not go as planned, and we ended up not doing what we intended to do for the trip (attending the graduation) it was nevertheless a fulfilling one for me.

Hi readers!! Again, it has been a really long while since the last post! A little bit of catching up first; I have finished my exams (yay!) and is now having my 'winter' holiday in my home country (though there is no such thing as winter both in Singapore and in my home country). Just as a warning, this is going to be a melancholy post so for those in high mood because of the holiday season, I highly recommend you all to skip this post. Suit yourself if you want to read them still, though. At your own risk! Okay so here comes the melancholy part. Perhaps let me start with what I have been doing over my first semester in NUS. Just as a recap, or for your information, if you have not been following my blog (is there even anyone that follows my blog? Helloooww??!), I did not take any CCA (that's co-curricular activites for you non-Singapore-educated readers) and instead took a part time job as a helper for a research that I do not even know what. The job took quite a bit (a lo...

Hey readers. This post is once again another emo/melancholy/depressing post of mine. Feel free to close this tab if you do not feel like reading another person's miserable mind or you can also keep reading if you want. Disclaimer, it may make you feel as down as me, hopefully not worse. Just as a background story, my mum, my brother and my sister came to Singapore to visit me, or rather, came to help me bring the stuff that I could not or I forgot to bring when I went to Singapore. Today was the last day of their short visit, which was only one night. After sending them to the airport, as I boarded the train back to my campus, I felt a sudden feeling of deep loneliness. Like, I suddenly felt that I am actually all alone in this world. I remember one of my friend who came to PGPR (the place where I stay in campus) earlier than me said that I should find a girlfriend if I do not want to be lonely here. Indeed he was right. PGPR is a really big residence and the chance of me being in ...

Hi readers/passer-bys!!! It is really amazing how my blog's pageview always increases tremendously whenever I am away and increases ever so slowly whenever I am actively posting (like once every two days or so). I am pretty sure I only left this blog in less than a week, yet the pageview has exceeded 400! Anyway, I am sure you have noticed how obsessed I am with pageviews. Maybe that number somewhat fulfills my ego as a person to be famous, or accepted, at least. You know, people my age are rather crazy for... being accepted. Especially if you happen to fall at the lower end of the social strata. The thing is, we never really know in which social stratum we fall into. You may think that you are at the lower end though your friends actually think you are somewhere in the middle or maybe slightly higher. Or the other way round. Anyway, I am not going to give you any advice on socializing, since I am having a problem in socializing myself. Well, I believe I have told you in previous p...
