its a long gap | Written by 【 Uniquely XC™ 】

I must say, time passes really quickly, it has been half a month since I came back to Canada, school is picking up pace, homework is piling in, CCAs starting soon (Prefects ftw!!!) To a large extent, I think this is a good thing, time passes quickly, so pretty soon I can be out of this and into the bigger world of university studies. Free from all the constraints of curfews, lights out, bla bla bla BUT at the same time, I don't want to leave a place where I can cushioned, protected from the dangers of the world outside.

I might sound like a show off, but it is good when u are at the top of everything, you feel a sense of achievement, a sense of you have reached the peak, you have achieved the highest possible. Such a feeling has not been possible in Singapore, but now I can. I can feel proud that I have done something right, something that us worthy of note. I'm no longer at the bottom of the food chain, subjected to discrimination and teasing, This had been a reversal of roles, and I dont want it just like that

Finally arrived in the little room of mine and three others, the wooden integrated study cable cum storage, the double decker bed, the wooden cupboard where I keep all kinds of my stuff. It all seem vaguely familiar, vaguely mine. It is like a deja vu, alone in another environment, no one else to look to, no one else to help you do this do that, the list goes on...

Although this is something I have experienced before in the last 4 months, I realized the start of the journey is always the hardest, getting accustomed to everything all over again, overcoming the boredom that loomed as the school holidays draw to a close. But I guess after the initial incubation period, everything would be back to normal, the homework, projects and school would all come crashing down like a big boulder pinning me to this wooden desk, working non-stop.

A new bunch of students from Singapore have arrived for this semester, but somehow I feel that socializing with most of them is a hard thing. They seem to lead a different lifestyle, barely a few days in Canada and they have started to go to the movies, shop around. That is something me and the other Singaporean haven't done for a whole semester. I wonder how that would affect their grades hmmmmm.....

I came here to achieve something and I would not let such small bumps along the journey to affect me

Stay strong

Its a new year. Already? | Written by 【 Uniquely XC™ 】

A new year, new resolutions, new aspirations, new goals, a brand new beginning . I always liked the start of a new year, because you can leave everything in the last year behind you and move on, embark on a fresh new journey that is free of the burdens and hauntings of the previous year. In a way, every new year is another new chance at life, striking it our, carving success for ourselves.

2009 certainly is a turbulent year for me, entering JC, meeting new people, leaving people, starting a new life abroad, returning home. So many events and emotional roller coasters in such a short period of time. Finally, after so many struggles and contemplation, it has finally came to an end, I have rode through this mess and emerged unscathed, and even victorious to some extent.

Looking forward to 2010, another new challenge awaits me, a new step in my education, a new chapter in my life
