This is already the last week of my one year foundation studies. After my finals next week, I'll be done with pre-U forever.
This whole year in college had been such a whirlwind, so many things to do and so many changes to adapt to. I remember when I first started college, fresh-faced and innocent with nothing but shining, glimmering dreams of the future.
I made many friends and met alot of people, good ones and some really great ones, and I learned much about independence and responsibility in this short 11 months away from home. However, not all of the people stayed in my life for a very long time. Only a selected few left whom I hold very dearly in my heart.
Events and happenings for the previous semesters seemed so distant and vague to me now. I used to have so much happening for me in my life, but now it all seem to come down to nothing. Nothing made a lasting impact, nor do they hold any importance to me now. But still, thanks for the memories.
Throughout this semester, it felt like I had not been studying enough. Maybe it's because I lost interest, or maybe because I want different things now compared to when I just started. However, I will still give my best for the finals or else my whole year of past efforts would have been in vain.
Looking back, I wonder what college is really about. It means different things to a bunch of different people. Some take it seriously and it's all studies and no play with them, but some take it as an opportunity to have fun and get wasted.
Me? It used to be all about studies, then organising events, and then fabulous outings with friends. But now, I like to think that it's a place for me to learn to grow up...
...And I think I'm catching up pretty fast.

I Was Once An Avid Blogger...

... But now I guess I'm not who I thought I was anymore.
It's been forever since I had a proper update on what I've been up to, and it's not because I have been up to nothing (not Cafe World only ok! wtf), it's because I chose not to share anymore.
Going through my blog, several significant events were left out of the loop, details were spared and it was just like nothing ever happened or changed at all.
Truth is, so many things happened -major ones and not-so-important ones- but I conveniently chose to not share it here, not because I don't want to, but simply because I am not able to express things as freely as I once could. So many things, feelings and people need to be considered when I write that it seemed such a chore for me to blog. Better off not doing it, makes my life a whole lot easier.
Or maybe I'm just complicating things. Can't help but feel a little sorry to see my blog in this state of vacant. Maybe I'll come back when I found myself.
Until then, take care.

READ THIS: I know that I posted previously that I was on hiatus but when blogspiration came I just couldn't resist it! Hahaahahahhahaa note to self: never take my announcements seriously!
I was unpacking my stuff upstairs in my room when certain items caught my eye. Those things evoked so many memories of me and my family in better times. Memories that I chose to shove behind my head and bury it forever was digging its way out of its grave.

Unfortunately, my parents rented out the Ipoh house already so I never did got a chance to fufil my Christmas room fantasy and now I'm stuck with reminders of What Could Have Been. I can't say it's a good feeling, or a bad one but it's just somewhere in between where there are no words to describe what it feels like.
Fast forward a few years and I was in my teens in Secondary school. I did and said alot of stupid things that I'm not proud of right now, but I had alot of fun during my school times too. I regret now, wishing to grow up and go to college so fast that I let my high school life passed me in a whirl and now it's too late to go back.


posters of celebrities I worshiped in my closet and bathroom door =.=
I was a teen, for Pete's sake, don't judge!

my name in graffiti style from a once a very dear friend of mine.

my time capsule 2008 which marks the end of an awesome chapter in my life.
it had been sealed and I have no memory of what I kept inside.
shall open it in 10 years time :)
