to the brim
This coming week is gonna be full of activities and packed...I can feel it in my bones! Actually no, I just have people to meet/things to do almost every day. This December does not really feel like a holiday. But I'm not complaining.

December the 1st
So I spent my first day of December getting my racepack for Standard Chartered with Marlia and met Nurul after at Starbucks. Pisang, you are dearly missed :( We took advantage of the one-for-one grande Christmas drink at Starbucks(4 cups in total!), but still I think we didn't take full advantage of it. Not after I heard what the dude behind us ordered, 14 cups in total! Even the barista was...well, speechless.
Exams finished on Tuesday for me! Headed out for Thai food with my classmates and it was fun. Laughter over dinner and making fun of the new KFC poster girl. "Eh that one my NUS Thai classmate leh" and, accusing L of "sleeping around in NUS" when in reality, he just keep switching halls in school haha.
Some photos grabbed off facebook,
This class is pretty international cause there's a Vietnamese guy, an Indonesian guy and a pretty Japanese girl! The one sitting at the front is my teacher and beside her is her son :)
I remember intimidating first lessons. Making new friends. This semester I went in to most of my tutorials knowing no one else (except for geography, and we only had 4 tutorials the whole semester). My first ever term paper was for SEA. That was one of the last few essays I got back. The first marker gave me a grade that made me happy, but because there were two markers my grade eventually dropped slightly. It's okay. "Next sem, next sem". Was alone most of the time during my breaks during first half of the sem. But I didn't mind. I enjoyed being alone around campus although sometimes I can spend about 6 hours alone before talking to someone. This sem, I decided to do something I told myself not to. I picked up a CCA. And a pretty commitment heavy one (in terms of the number of sessions we have). But it's okay, I more than enjoyed it. It opened my eyes to so many things. Had my first ever huge jalan raya. Met so many people through this CCA. It pretty much helped me to shape my first semester. But I'm still trying to find that balance, between both. I struggled to study for finals, questioning myself about so many things. But the thing is, you don't have time to brood to much, you always go ahead although it may be hazy at time. But this is where people come in. They help you and guide you. When you also learn to rely on yourself and trust that you'll pull through.
This wasn't a summary of the sem. Felt too much for me to type out everything. I don't even know how to feel. I think it's impossible but I'll try, try to remember all of it.
