The new maxim Joani and myself came up with for this new semester (at least). For her, its more on saving up and not spending that extravangantly. As for me, no specific resolution but more of wanting to be better than what I was last semester. A new year to refine those rough edges.
Its just the 2nd day of the new term and somehow, it feels different. Quieter and so much more mellowed down. Maybe we have all gotten use to the flow of things in NIE and so the novelty of the first sem has died off. We seem more detached and engaged in our own stuff. Maybe when we slowly regain the momentum of things, normalcy will resume. After all, we had a break for almost 6weeks! Anyhow, lessons seem to be promising and am looking forward to them.
Well talking about a new beginning for the new term, I had an unforgettable morning.
Firstly, overslept and was 20mins late for first lesson with Mike McNeill! If Yixin didn't call me, I would have totally slept through the 2 hours lesson! Then another horror awaited me, we had to go to mph for some 'exercise' and I wasn't wearing my shoes, thinking it was going to be an indoor lecture! Ran back to hall to change and when I returned, the 10mins volleyball activity ended! Bleah! Need not have to change I realised but...oh wellz..the moral being JUST WEAR MY SHOES EVERYDAY!
Anyhow, the rest of the day was cool. Went for a swim for the 1st time at NTU pool and it was shiok! The weather was fantastic. Then went to Borders with Joani and what a steal we had. Each of us bought 7 books for like $60 and $55 respectively! VALUE FOR MONEY! Cannot wait to start reading them! After which, we had a superb Thai dinner at this dogey place along Orchard Road! Hehe...never judge a book by its cover. The food was authentically Thai style notwithstanding the MSG overload.
Fruitful day yet again. Trying to slowly get back into the momentum of things and not remain slack for too long. After all, its a new beginning and I'm sure there will be much more that will unfold and I have to be ready when that happens. Till then, keep my spirits up at all times and just enjoy the moment!
