timecheck

2.07 am. And I am leaving for tanjung pinang later at noon!! Was texting XQ cause we were both thinking of whether we should do OCIP, but we found out that most of the ones we were interested in had already either closed their registration or had enough volunteers ): But it's okay! Cause we found one which was different, so we're just waiting to see if we can join that! I'm gonna head off to bed now haha this post was random.

First day

Day one of school at NUS today. Never felt more vulnerable haha! Had SSA2206: Islam and Contemporary Malay Society and Geog intro lecture. Weather today = unbelieveably good! Really thankful to have some friends around like XQ who spammed me with stuff on bidding, Puny, who always ask me what mods I'm taking what tutorials etc so we can be together (I didn't realise this at first but nowI'm touched!) and also Nurul for waiting after school to go home together. We dropped by the Geylang bazaar and were taking the longest time to decide if we should buy ramly burger haha! And the cook asked Nurul if she was local, he thought she was Thai. Indonesian or something I'd accept, but Thai....

the act of surprising

This was how I spent my first day in NUS.  There's this girl I met at the MS/PBMUKS FOC and she's my faci, Khai. I told her I had to come to school to buy my textbooks and pass her my GC since she was taking a math module this sem. I didn't have to lie though, it was all true. I had to bring her to where my groupmates were at and she was....probably one of the hardest person to drag when she can’t see a thing (I covered the shades with tape!) See the candles at the last photo? They melted and blew out by themselves before Khai could even reach the place. And before we let her remove the shades, we forced her to "Just blow la" haha! This girl acts tough but deep down inside she’s quite a softie and a scaredy scared haha. Happy birthday Khai! :)

maybe in another life

Today, today I got real mad at a friend. Mad because...he had already lost so much. And as of just now, he has lost me. As a friend. Okay I just typed a chunk of angry stuff but I *backspaced*.  I don't want to be angry anymore....it's just not worth it. I went for a run and I feel so much better already!

what are words

One,
two,
three,
four,
five,
six.
Six.
I laid out six plates on our dining table. We never have have a complete set of identical plates anymore. And even if we do, I bet our cups won't match.

These past few days, I realise how much my parents have aged. I can't imagine life without them. You know, it's true. That no matter how much you hurt your parents, at the end of the day, they'll still love you and find it in them to forgive you.

My parents will always have a place in my heart that a lover just cannot fill.

A Note From the Universe

The slate’s been wiped clean, the past has released its grip, and before you sparkles eternity, yearning for direction. All that lies between you and the life of your dreams is just one teeny, tiny, gentle, little rule. Only one condition, prerequisite, principle that matters.

It’s not love. It’s not God. It’s not fate, or luck, or karma. It’s not complicated or esoteric, and you needn’t sacrifice, plead, or pray to invoke it. It’s the only rule that’s ever existed, and it’s the only one that will ever exist. No reality can exist in its absence. For its mere existence, you are. With its existence, the power, the light, and the way are revealed. It’s your purpose to discover it, and it’s your destiny to master it. It’s the beginning, the middle, and the end. The Alpha and the Omega. The be-all and end-all of every wish, desire, and dream, and you are its keeper.

This caveat of all caveats is that absolutely nothing can be anything until it is first imagined. Thoughts become things, nothing else does. And so, it’s the thoughts you choose from here on out that will become the things and events of your life, forevermore. It is written in stone. There’s no other way. It’s your ticket to anywhere you can dream of. Your passport to abundance, health, and friendships. The key to the palace of your wildest dreams.

Your thoughts, and your thoughts alone, will set you in motion. Your thoughts will yield the inspiration, creativity, and determination you need. Your thoughts will orchestrate the magic and inspire the Universe. Your thoughts will carry you to the finish line if you just keep thinking them. Never give up. Never waiver, doubt, or ask.

Aim high.

That you’ve even received this Note, that you’re able to read it through, means you are so close. So extraordinarily close. The hardest work has been done. The wars have already been waged. The lessons have already been learned. The journey, now, is for home.
