Who on earth still reads this dusty little corner of the web, anyway? Nonetheless, the urge to blog just hit me, so might as well.

Had a good run earlier and thought a bit about things, like how life can be so short and abrupt. Ordered a wreath for the first time today and the feeling was odd. I didn't know what to write on the message space and took a long, long time to compose it. I guess as I get older and older, such things will only become more common.

I also thought about the wholly awkward Xmas gathering at Mich's last night. While it was good to see friends that I haven't seen since secondary school, I guess the party also affirmed my suspicions and what school and all its fluff mods and personality tests have taught me - That I am an introvert with a practiced extrovert side ie I only appear extroverted because I have to. It was weird reaching early and being alone. That shall never happen again.

Got back results from my first ever sem in SMU too. Did much better than expected. GPA's 3.8 out of 4.0, so all I just need to do is to get a 3.7 next semester and I'll get a place on the dean's list. It was quite a pleasant surprise because I was just hoping for a 3.4, but I guess all that hard work and monk-like lifestyle did pay off somewhat. No girls, no play, no nothing. Only library. Sad, it sounds, but it helped me get over the latest mess of my shitty love life too. Bumped into her a couple of days back and it was just hi and bye. Hmmm.

Shall resolve to work even harder since I have 1 less mod and not get distracted by anything else. Must embrace the pressure and expectations.

Come on, Edwin. Fight for yourself.
