♥ Nearing a major part of life.
I have had quite a few different groups of friends asking if I am going to have a 21st. Actually, all these talks about 21st birthday parties have been going on since start of the year.
And if you have yet to receive any invitation from me, don't worry, I don't hate you. I just didn't organise a party and yeah, I don't think I will be too. Because (1) it's too close to my birthday already, about 2 weeks left *hint hint* (2) I don't want to make myself so busy and hectic on my birthday.
I have also gotten past the age of receiving presents, so angbao would be preferred HAHAH. Okay, just kidding ah. A nice meal together is good enough. :) Some very "nice" person told me that he shall not celebrate for me because he gets no free dinner and still has to pay for my present LOL. Speechless... hahah. And it's also not that I didn't have anything I wanted now, but somehow I can't really pinpoint out something. Oh yes, but you can just cross out accessories because much as I love them, I am always too late for school/outing to attempt to accessorize my outfit.
21st is not a really big milestone in my opinion. But since I am not gonna have an 'exciting birthday party', I decided this year I should attempt something new.
Some things I can think about offhand:
(1) Run a marathon (5km also good :P)
(2) Successfully lose weight
(3) Go exchange/GSS
You are always welcome to add something to this list which is accomplish-able. :)

♥ Start of a new semester.
So, I was really dreading this semester. After a very long 12 weeks of work, 2 weeks of rest is absolutely not enough!
What's worse, all my accounting modules from this semester onwards are gonna be with the batch after me. This is no good. ): Like all the friendships which I have built up for the past 2 years all gone, then I need to build up new friendships again with the batch after. Although I have always been a floater, but I have never stepped into a class feeling so awkward before. Seriously, it's like you don't know anyone around at all, except that one or two other fellow double degree kids' faces whom you can recognise but cannot even put a name to.
Nonetheless, the day ended off pretty well because I was logging on to STARS and there was this one vacancy in the claw class that I wanted since like forever, like course registration?! And it has always has 0 vacancy, so I immediately swopped in and yayyyyyy, same class with a few other double degree kids I am closer with. :)
Now that I have a rather relaxed 3-days week (I have never ever have that before for the past 4 semesters?!?!) I need to settle my lunch mates. I don't know and will never understand why certain people can lunch alone, but I absolutely hate doing that! So, Tuesday and Friday lunchmates positions open for registration hahah!
I am also seriously considering exchange. Should I go for a 4-months exchange or a 1-month fee-paying GSS?! And the thing is both probably add up to the same amount, either that or exchange will be cheaper! I can clear more modules during exchange and I can stay there longer! Downside is that Peisi won't be able to go if I am going exchange because of her FYP! ): On the other hand, we can have 1-month long of fun if I choose to go GSS together! Hmm, tough choice! Will take the semester to consider. :)
Alright, 6-hours long tomorrow, let's go!

I have this sudden realisation that there is only two more years to the end of my student life.
Speaking of which, I have already been through 14 years of education (not including kindergarten that is). And besides the bothersome examinations, I would be more than happy to be a student. And I want to prolong student life as much as possible, but I can't.
So, I have to make really wonderful memories before I graduate. I should pack a lot of activities into my timetable (without the expense of my grades I hope) to make the most out of this.
I am already planning some pretty cool activities. Kickboxing and judo, anyone? :) It's no harm for a girl to learn self-defence right, although some very irksome people always say I will never need to use it. (Which I hope I don't need to use it too)
Also, I have never really thought about an exchange before. But it seems like a lot of people around me has gone or is going for exchange, and I am now seriously considering it. I don't think I will go for an exchange though, 6 months is long and I think it's gonna be mad expensive, but I am thinking of GSS to one of South Korea's university. Honestly, I am not a mad Kpop fan, but I am definitely more of a Asian person than anything else, so Europe and America is definitely out for me. China doesn't interest me, neither do Japan (I would prefer Korea anytime), so the only options are Korea and Hong Kong. The only HK university GSS program was stopped this year, and I am not too sure if there will be one next year. But HK is kind of similar to our culture, and I thought it would be good to immerse myself in a totally different Korean culture.
All's not decided still, I need to consider my finances. I am a poor student. ): (Quoting sexay) But I have doing my research mad early (it's at least half a year to registration!) but hopefully all's well and I would be there next year! :)
