Happy 1 month for not writing anything constructive on this dead journal (YES journal!). Life has been really good but also troubled with some bad events in my growth cycle. Yes, life has its ups and downs. Have not dwell too much on the bad stuffs though. Sometimes I really think I can literally persuade myself out of depression. If there is one day when such abilities were to be gone, then it will mark the ‘you know what’ day lah huh.
First and foremost, 10 of the precious holidays is spent touring the the kingdom of thailand. Not that it is my first time there, but still manage to see and experience some of the things that u can only do if u know the locals there.
1) Visited their university – OMG. The university has a major in agriculture and they teach students how to plant veg. It is so big that maybe the uni occupies the space of the whole Tampines town.
2) Accomodation – Getting to stay in the local’s house.
3) Eating street food – This has always been a NO NO since my stomach cant really tolerate these food. But still, the kid in me wanted to take a try on them especially when we have diarrhoae medicine. Great choice I must say becos the street food are super nice. Even nicer than the restaurant’s food I swear!
4) Driving around in Thailand – I’m not the driver obviously. But I have never sit in a car other than taxi in thailand before.
5) Visiting other places other than BKK – Time for me to opern my eyes and see
6) FOOD! – Food is really fantastic. Overate for the whole 10 days but luckily didnt gain the famous 5 kg. Still enjoying thailand speciality dishes and of cos home made dishes as well!
7) HOTEL – The hotel is really chui. Intermittent hot water + air con leakage + tv channel shortage. But still comfy for the 20 SGD per night cost
FRUITS – Fruits party every night in BKK. I love their pomeloes! U can find ready peeled pomelo just on the sheleves of the supermarket and it cost only like 3 SGD. Jackfruit cost just 1.30 SGD when sillypore sells at 3-4 SGD for one packet. Indeed sillypore.
9) Shopping heaven – Need I say more? I wish I had the extra large baggage to contain what I wana buy. Plus extra money of cos to complement it.
10) Massage massage – Nth beats the thai massage. Really love it to the core. Feel like shipping them over to be my personal masseuse.

Ended 2009 on a high. Time really flies. 6 more months to graduation in the year of 2010. The accomplishment to end my studying life on a high is also a great satisfaction. Last time I didnt think I would be able to make it into a university let alone going into the biology field cos it has always been my worst science subject. I didnt think I would fulfill one of the vacancies as a ’scientist’ as what we would have learn in primary school such that ’scientist’ always give ppl the impression of ‘crazy’. It was the dreams – dreaming to make the breakthroughs in my life; dreaming of doing something extraordinary that not everyone would be able to perform; dreaming to be in the top university in sillypore. One by one, the ‘wishes’ came through but these does not happen without hardwork and sheer determination. Its these 2 factors which had really brought me forward. This really tells us to DREAM, dare to dream! When theres dream, there will be follow up actions. And with everyone’s abilities, nth can beat us on the grd unless u urself is beaten to the ground. Never surrender! Dream, work, live and be happy. So happy 2010 ahead. May all be bless with gd fortune and gd karma. Smooth sailing yr pls!
