Am i not allowed to be disappointed even for a moment?

for all the little plans i was hoping to have.

sigh. I guess it makes little difference now how soon work starts.

silly goat

turning 23

time: 12.35pm

It feels great being at home at 12pm on a Monday afternoon. No crowds, no worries, no work. The only thing lacking is a good night rest. Not that i haven't being able to sleep, but each night for the past week has been sleep disrupted by incessant dreams.

Anw, this is old news, but i'm 23! :D haha I keep trying to upload the photos from universal studio to facebook. Hope i succeed eventually, but here are a few.

acting cool with the "best popcorn in the world"

I love them!

It was a really hot day, but we had fun and the meals were almost free as each of us were given a $10 food voucher. The theme park was small, yet enough to keep us occupied from the opening hours till about 4 plus in the afternoon. Not a place i would be visiting again soon, but a day i would fondly look back on. :)

By the end of the day, we were so exhausted that we had to go home, wash up before heading out for dinner. But the food was good and the company was even better. :)

I guess for most of us, celebrating birthdays in our early 20s have kind of lost any special meaning. It feels almost like another day, until those close to you remind you that it isn't. I feel blessed to be surrounded by much love. Much thanks to the girls with their silly antics and endearing conversations and to my bro who planned a mini surprise with his birthday cake and song at midnight. The latter really caught me by surprise, and it was a lovely start to a new year. :) Of course, thanks to my boy for the great day out!

Each year, as the birthday wishes and messages come in, I wish i could personally tell each person: thanks for remembering. I guess, its nice to be remembered, especially by people whom you thought has already lost touch with your life.

Cheers to another year ahead. :)

never again

Acting like 17 at 23.

I cant believe what a retard i was yesterday. And i couldn't feel more blessed that everything turned out alright. Yes, there were inconveniences caused that i would stay guilty of for a very very long time. And i doubt my bro will ever let me forget it. But of all the consequences that could have happened, I had it lucky. I've spent the entire day feeling remorseful and i swear i will NEVER be so stupid again. sigh.

and thanks dear, for everything. Dont know what i would have done without you. <3

On another note,

I've signed my next one year away. Never expected to be in the health care industry, and to be honest, know too little to feel confident. But in some way, stepping into the unknown can be very exciting too. I hope it will be the right choice. Even if it doesn't become a life long career, let it be something worth the while.

Its the end of May already. Looking forward to the getaway part 2 in June. :) before all the madness begins again!

at least someone is trying to understand his work

time: 12.55am

The last one broke my heart. :( sometimes you work so hard, you forget the colours in your life. poor hobbes

I absolutely love them. Nothing like it to bring a smile to my face on this sat nite. :) pretty tempted to buy another C&H book!

4 more days

time:11.48pm

Dear Brain,

Please work for the next 4 days. Make me understand everything I'm studying and soak it all up like a sponge. Block out all unnecessary noises like Facebook and online comics. Electrify me with brain waves every time I stone and make me fall in love with academic literature and lecture slides. I don't know how you can do it, but I'm sure you will figure it out. After all you are the one with all the grey matter.

Do all that and I will love you to bits.

From your owner,
quek

sometimes I wonder, why I even bother letting the tears roll.

a few steps more.

time: 4.01pm

I feel a little defeated by this morning's experience.

I'm done with all the interviews and so now, i have to wait(which could be the most painful part)

Meanwhile, I really really have to start/finish studying!

Then its goodbye school and hello world.
