i'm too cold hearted?

something unfortunate has happened to one of my relatives and shockingly, my reaction to the news was 'really? oh. ok.' which was very typical of me. but still, i suspect something might be wrong with me. am i too cynical about life, too self-absorbed to care about others, too nonchalant about things happening around me?

i only realised my unresponsiveness when i heard other people's response to the new piece of information. i can still rmb clearly the thoughts in my head when my mum exclaimed in dismay. 'oh wells. this has to happen sooner or later. might as well happen sooner before things get worse.' and pity for my aunt just came to me.

for me, this event may just be the turning point in his life which is very much needed for him to survive in this society. i can almost understand that this event for him may be the one that sends his life crashing and one that he can never forget. 

 i just can't help but looking at things from the more objective angle - just hoping that he will really gain something from this experience and become a stronger and more mature person than before. i don't know what to feel or say to him. we haven't been close at all and words from an near total stranger are almost imappropriate.

perhaps i'm just too cold-blooded... i don't know. and neither can i explain this change in behaviour. 

but anyway sadness aside.

photos time!

family-size pizza at pepperoni. it's fricking delicious.

guess where are these taken...

my dear friend

my dear friend,

i'm not too sure if you will be reading this but in any case, i'm just using this opportunity to express my feelings.

things like this have happened before and i know will happen again and again. i have already done my best to help or whatsoever. i somehow see a pattern - a friend in need is a friend indeed. initiatives to communicate from you are almost always due to your distress (from whatever problem). and again, i did my best to help you in whatever way.

and the most interesting part is, when the problem is gone (as i observe), initiatives to communicate simply stop. correct me if i'm wrong. but before you do, i advise you to think really hard. i think this pattern is simply too familiar. 

anyway, i have again tried to revive (too dramatic?) our friendship but attempts in vain. i have already tried. so erm... (how should i put it) but you get what i mean.

so here it is. my opinion. end of my ranting session. yay.

muahaha. i shall blog about happier things later.

university... brrrh...

sorry for the long delay. and no, my life hasn't been hectic or whatsoever. just that i have been trying to live in my own little world where no exams, competition, and reality exist. and now it's time for the verdict - it's high time for me to work hard and put my best into my studies.

it is easy to talk about it now when i haven't touched anything intellectual for half a year, or even longer since i didn't study much for alvls. and serve me right... oh wells.

but anyway, i have made my decision and it's kind of final (i think) - i'm going to ntu environmental engineering.

and right now, i haven't found anyone else who is also going. actually, i can barely find anyone who is going to ntu. what's wrong with the world, or rather, what's wrong with the young adults in s'pore. why is everybody going to nus. grrr. life sucks. Big time.

i'm having panic attacks here and there, every now and then. about the orientation, making new friends (which is impt since i barely have any existing ones in ntu), making accommodation arrangements (like finding a room mate. argh), buying laptop, buying new hp and mp3, blah blah... it's like sec 1 all over again. oh dear. since i'm in the IP and never really had the pressure to make new friends in jc because i see my whole cohort again there. i have already forgotten the rules and basic etiquette of meeting new people and making new friends.

and right now, as i'm trying to blog coherently here. a new fear just *popped out*.

my english language is going to suffer a horrible death during the uni years. oh no. it took me six years to push my eng to the standard today (which is still kind of low actually), and the next four years will just push it slowly over the edge of the cliff before it plunged into its death finally in the end.

the abovementioned illustration is literally what i can imagine now. argh. slow and painfully frightening.

anyway, back to my original fears of the uni year as a freshman. i hate making new friends. argh. and having a low level of eq, i think i will pretty much piss everyone off on my first day. trying to make new friends also means that i can't be my bitchy self for quite a long time - not goot. i have to make friends with the seniors so that i can have a reliable and constant source of uni information and gossip, meaning i'd probably have to suck up to them - that's even worse.

next, my hostel room mate. i can't find any - that's bad enough. my friends and sis keep telling me horrible stories of disgusting room mates who make the hostel stay Hell - that's cherry on top of the icing. oh noooo...

but anyway, my sis also told me stories about how people (teekos) peeped in the girls' showerroom. haha... that kind of amused me actually. i seriously pity anyone who chose to peep on me. they will get the biggest trauma of their life. and maybe also get their one and only rustic castration surgery by an engineering undergrad in their whole life.

oh wells. life, again... i guess i will just have to take the things as they come then. and STOP WORRYING. ok. now the photos for the week:

SUMO!
