Sounds familiar? Writing this in with a bit of spare time that I managed squeeze out from my study timetable. Elections tomorrow and I'm experiencing so many conflicting emotions, each fighting to come out dominant. Had a wonderful time in wd. Love love love the exco and everyone. I hope the new batch will be even better than we were, bringing wd to greater heights.
Meeting my cousins again after years, I am so glad that I am able to have a conversation with them without any awkwardness. Its saddening, to know that they'd be leaving in less than a month's time and I won't know when I'll see them again. Unless, they'll be traveling with my family this dec holidays. I don't believe the saying that goes something like, you get closer to someone with time apart? I can't really remember. People cannot be compared to how you crave for food after not eating it for a very long time. Memories that should have been made aren't as we continue with our individual lives that has a 0.01% chance of crossing each other. Its depressing knowing that it is highly unlikely my cousins will live in Singapore, or that I will live in their country. Perhaps this difference will make our rare visits to each other more interesting with a larger range of topics to talk about; however, it also serves as a gap that we have to spend such a large amount of time trying to understand the polarity of our lives.
I just want to let you know..
Studying. Is that the only thing I can do right now? The things I sacrifice for my studies... is it worth it? To survive in a harsh and practical lifestyle like Singapore, is that the only viable road to choose? Pros of studying hard: Get a job that pays so I can buy the food I like whenever I want!! Cons of studying hard: Opportunity Cost!!!
Food wins. Hands down. I had tangyuan for dessert!
