Being 20.

October 7th. I became 20. Period.

The faster time passes, I realized that birthdays have no meaning; it's just another day.

Today, 28th of November. I am sitting at my laptop typing rapidly, trying to remember. Trying to feel the sweet nostalgia of what it was like to be 18.

My service for this country started about two and a half months ago. Now that I am reaching my POP (Passing Out Parade) date, I begin pondering about what I would become.

Am I still who I am? Probably not. Factors around me have influence my thinking. Right now, I am just stuck with - What done is done, regretting won't get you anywhere.






Amends were made, memories forgotten. Time heals all wounds and perhaps one day help me understand why I got them in the first place.

Cake?!

This is kinda late, considering my blog was sorta 'closed'. Got the pictures from an email. Can you believe they are cakes?! Enjoy =).

Pre-Vesak Day!

On 9th of May, it is Vesak day. The day where Buddha was born. Blah blah blah. One day before 9th May, Kim, HY and I decided that we should have a religious gathering. Thus, made our way down to Bugis 觀音堂 (Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple). We prayed, cast our lots and left. I didn't get a good lot but still, life seems neutral.

Since today's outing was a 'budget' one, we thought of going to the National Museum!

NOTE: NUS students gets FREE entry! =)

Let the pictures do the talking! I am tired of doing things that are so leh cheh!
