School Life
*text heavy*
After he left for USA, I got closer to my other friends. I realised I've neglected my friends when I'm with him. Mainly because I was really busy with school, transferring from one faculty to another (have to mug really hard) , NUSSU events etc. Just last friday, I have offcially ended all the school events that I've organised.
Year 1: NUSSU Bash - Blackout, OGL at Union Camp
Year 2: NUSSU Bash - Lust Vegas <3, NUS Rag 2011, PRU MC and Facilitator at Union Camp
Year 3: Amplify! 2012
I have to admit that I really dedicated a lot of my time to NUSSU. Some people just fail to see that. Sometimes I also wonder why I wanted to be so involved. Mainly because of Raymond, I guess. I don't regret though. I made many wonderful friends through events. People like Yanting, Tian Hon, Delvin, Yiang Meng, Mingyi, Yiting, Nicholas Lim/Goh, Mathew, Max etc etc so many that I can't name every single one of them out.
Undeniably, I distanced myself from my other friends. People like my dearest SKYMESSX. I'm really sorry. I did not really meet up with them. Maybe just take 1 or 2 modules with serene in NUS that's all. Jingyi, I guess if I were in FASS to start with maybe you won't even go UK? (or i think too much? haha) But company in uni life is really freaking important. I can't complain when I was in science, I had a bunch of friends. Friendly people, just not the same as those from CCHY. The bond is just different.
Now that I've transferred, I'm really find it very hard to blend in and make new friends. People already have their own group of friends. it's so hard to penetrate into the small circle of friends around. Lunch alone, tutorial alone, lecture alone. do you call it a loser? ok, I do meet up with my friends for lunch once in a while but...
Recently, I've gotten quite close with yushan, mainly because we became each other's listening ears. I'm the listening ear most of the time. He has so much to say about her *ahem*. hahahahah But it's still nice to see that I have such great friends. Like yesterday, because jiahon has lesson in the morning after we play mahjong, I decided to not disturb him and yushan chatted with me till morning then sleep. So nice right BFF!!!!
I went all the way from NUS to NTU to watch Basketball IVP with him, ok he watches with me. But this is when I really felt like I'm a uni student. supporting this kind of competitions. In NUS, I don't even care about these, probably because I don't even know it existed. The few visits here allowed me to experience hall life. Not to the fullest but enough to experience what i've been missing out. But I thought about it, even if I stayed in hall, would I be experiencing what I am now? I doubt. It's really the company. Thus, I asked jiahon they all, "Why do you all have to do NS? If no NS then can study together already!" I blamed the NS. It sucks.
I'm going to graduate very soon. In less than a year, I'll need to work. Ok, not exactly since I've decided to go NIE. Haven't applied, but it'll mean I'm going to NTU! hahahah Things are definitely going to change. I just don't know how it'll turn out. University life has not been exceptionally exciting and fulfilling for me. I wished I had joined more camps when I was still a freshie. Regrets.
