Good mornza! On a non-peak morning train now and I feel so good, like so much better than yesterday when I couldn't get on for 6 trains, door of cabin closed on me at one-north when I haven't even get out, had a super bad stomachache and a screwed test. Nonetheless, thankful for Tuesday! For everyday of this last study trimester actually, everything seems so bright and positive (most of the time lol) that it has been 5/13 weeks already.

Weird how I started off in Sept 2014 being heavily worried and stressed over school to the state of crying continuously few days a week (I knowww) to being nonchalant BUT still hardworking hahaha. Past 6 trimesters weren't really a breeze, but I've learnt so much from school, from a different environment compared to poly with different cultures and facing a diverse of personalities everyday. So now, I'm telling myself to enjoy every single day of this trimester before moving on to a one full year of being away from my classmates and one step nearer towards being a working professional.

Ya apologies for my dry and reflective content ok LOL

Hyped for new style experiment with my awesome possum hensum boy 😍
This guy was commenting that day and the other day lolol about how both of us spend money on different stuff - tangible and intangible goods. Shermy like to spend on quality clothing items that he can see and wear everyday even though it costs a bomb, but I don't mind spending once in a while on a staycation or a vacation, food, massage or a day of fun. I refuse to spend more than $10 for a piece of top, bottom or shoes, while boy can eat the same thing everyday just to save money. Overall, I can say that both of us don't splurge and know how to invest our monnehz in ourselves wisely hahaha

Speaking of food, I already can't wait for lunch with Roll already damnz

Current blog post count for 2016: 1. ONE. Only one. How did it became like this hahaha

And having penned down this post. Today is my aiai's birthday. And the last time I posted was my laopo's. LOL. I think this cute nicknames will stay till we're old and with kids and it has narrowed down to just a few that have the honor to be called by a nickname from me hahaha

Anyways, it has also came down to one last trimester to be in the undergrad course that I am in, not exactly the last of the last, but the last one that have 13-weeks duration study modules. Then I am moving on to a 1 year internship. Quite thankful for the school's scheme actually, I have came to appreciate how much it will help me in my career as time goes and the way they taught us has came to become effective as well. Most of the professors that have taught me (before this trimester, which has just started 2 weeks ago) were awesomely patient as well. SIT, what are you waiting for, time to sponsor me for a blog post LOLOL but speaking of this, surprisingly I still have occasional visits to this blog. Shall call this the Dead Sea of Mermaid Ong now hahaha

Have not been feeling well for a week also since Piak's soccer tournament finals last Sunday (Woooooo!!!! So proud of the bro even though they got runner-up -- their persistence was so commendable, whereas as the other team was just a bunch who play smelly) till now and I have different symptoms everyday, I don't even know what I feel now LOL

So today is my dearest aiai birthday, and yesterday was a blast even though we 抱病上场 and went to Katapult trampoline park and jumped until our souls left our body. The back dive was some scary shit - I have came to a realization of how LONG it has been since I've such adventurous ventures (and this is not really adventurous) and I was more of a scaredy cat than I thought I would be hahaha. Good 1 hour though. Then we had a short lepak session at ma home while she read some love-letter from me keke then she went for another birthday plan hahaha. Never does this peach know we'll surprise her again this year huh hahaha having only met the other surprise plan participants/old friends like about once a year only (except for XT). It was always a good night to see aiai being surprised, and I always had a good laugh with this bunch around.

So happy and feel so blessed for Shermy too, having started a new phase of his life. I am glad and so proud of this guy who always works so hard and never fail to put his heart into everything he is doing. Gonna start trying out one of his hobbies for a period of time soon hehehe wonder how it'll turn out!

Speaking of all these. I really feel like a very fortunate human being for everyday of my life, even though I NEVER fail to complain every single day and rant to anyone and everyone hahaha. Everything is going on the right track for me if I just step back one step to take an overview of things happening in my life and where I am now, the 13 years old me would not believe that I would have come this far to be where I am now. Nope I am not in NTU or NUS or SMU but I am really glad to end up in SIT with the opportunities it has to offer us as students. Nope I am nothing near rich now, event though I save as much as I can. But I have a family who cherishes each other every single day, my friends who surround me these days are the only ones I need in my life, and I have a boyfriend who cares for me more than himself or other people, events or objects (lol *coughdenimcough*) in his life, and lastly, I have a tentative 5 year plan that I want to head to, and I know how not to be too affected by how successful or not others are in their lives and to go with my own pace.
I will still get anxious now and then and tell Shermy every time it happens which is quite often, but he and I know we will get through this.

Can't wait for this trimester to be over and start my own new phase at a new environment next year. Really cannot wait.

Till then, till next time

Firstly... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GIRL XT (yesterday)!!! And congratulations hooooooomygod. I'm just so happy for you it brought tears to my eyes when I saw the news :')

Dislike how being uni makes it so hard for me to meet anyone who is not my classmate. But anyway nearing 2 years liao, what's new right. TWO YEARSSSS we thought things will get easier but nooo I don't even know if this school treat us like human lolol So this week is the 13th week which means that it's the hell week once again with all the submissions deadlines all in this week plus presentations. The weird thing about the people in my course/school (not sure about OU) but we look forward to exam period more than anything LOL because it means no stupid deadlines and facing stupid people. Maybe not literally stupid lah just people who freeloads and think they queen or king. It's alright, after this trimester it'll be just one more study trimester left starting in Sept. HI THERE MY KOK BROS lai lai join your senior

 Just gonna be prepared for all the brain usage maximus today, was gonna say something negative but nah, I CAN DO THISSSS JUST 4 MORE DAYS LEFT

Year 2, Trimester 1. Three more study trimesters to go before the integrated work and school programme. 9 more modules to go, probably all with team projects.

There are people who are really smart and they know they are smart, and apparently they will tend to look down on those with weaker abilities. Those who are rich in knowledge. Who is so eager to show off what they know, rather than share and teach those that needed the teaching. "Elistist" is the word. They do not care whether the weaker ones tried their best because to them, weak is weak and they will forever be high above.

Facing people like that is really tiring. I might be one of the weaker ones, I might be stronger than a few, but the respecting people principle is one that I apply to, whatever I do, wherever I am. Unless of course, with a second chance given you prefer to disrespect me again and again.

People issues. Sigh. Something that I have been facing, something I will be facing in school for a year or more and... In the society. Unavoidable, that is, and this is a fact that I am aware of. But here I am, blogging out loud, and discreetly hoping that there will be kinder people, more compassionate people, people who are not full of themselves.

On a brighter note... HHN5 NEXT FRIDAY. HELL YEAHHH YEARLY TRADITION. Totally can't wait to be scared to death. Those who love horror genre should watch The Visit, the show where I can't help but keep asking Shermy, "How?! OMG HOW. HOWWW" during the climax of the show.

To Shermy and the few classmates that make my time in school so much better, thank you. X

So... I think my life has so much changes. It's actually quite fortunate that there is this place where I can go 'I', 'Me' and 'Myself' and no one judges. It's sad that I've become so mindful of getting judged.

Note to self, reflection time -- you've got every right to be happy, as cliche as it is, no one can love you if you don't love yourself.

Thank you fisherman x

 I guess that when certain kind of situations happened to you for quite a few times, you'll panic, you'll feel the same negative emotions, you'll be helpless, but somehow you'll also know that the whole thing will be done and settled with one day, and the rainbow is forever there, it's just how you can make it visible to you. 

Exams are next week, I'm barely making it through. These three months make me feel the dumbest I've ever felt in my life, but I've also learnt quite a bit, and I'm thankful that at least I'm gaining interest although the workload and difficulty level (to me) are really ridiculous sometimes and I am just like fml, why am I even doing this, why did I even chose this route. But end of the day again, I know the real reason, and speaking of that I realise that I actually have a goal, having a direction and that really makes me feel much better. 

People in school are really good to me, I'm thankful for all the craziness and laughters and gossips but oh god the drama that existed in there really awes me like I don't even get that kind of dramas floating around in school when I was in primary school or my partial secondary school life. But all's good, everyone has the evil tongue now and then but all of them have soft and kind hearts. Which I really find so awwwwwww. 

There's some annoying people with no sense of empathy and sensitivity towards others. Smart but talk with no brains. The irony. 

Thank god for my didi, hu0xing ge, kaikai and the market bunch so I don't have to hold my complaints back when I get angsty or in desperate mode, and I can say whatever shit I want which varies depending on the 63754865 moods we're put into everyday lololol and they'll entertain me. 

And lastly, my pillar of support, my boy. We have been missing each other so much, can't even have much quality time together. The December holidays are so yearned for, and it's definitely not enough for me but I'm so so thankful for it. Had my own exam prep kit today which I'm really all smiley about today, which was specially prepared by my fisherman. *beams* He brought it up personally and didn't want to let me know what is it. How sweet right? I mean who else, which guy does this for their girls nowadays? He brings out the best in me and I've never been a more positive person before I met him. Had a slight rough patch with coping with the sudden changes in lifestyle, and I'm glad it made us both better people. I always reminisce about how we play wrestling together and laugh at weird people we see (yeap I know don't say me) and always creating inside jokes that make me tear and my stomach pain . You're really the best, boy. 

Gonna get a good sleep and tomorrow is really gonna be my full blast, full effort, full energy studying. Jiayou jiajia. And to the kids (we're forever kiddies in our own hearts) taking exams soon, add many many oilllll

Firstly, a happy 22nd October which marked the 8th month for me and Shermy for being together. Perhaps not a happy-everyday kind of 8 months, but till today I am still glad that I have him in my life. Being a really self-conscious and on-off negative person, having someone like Shermy who reminds me every now and then of how treasured and how not worthless I thought of myself that I am, really means a lot to me and changed my attitude towards life a lot.

And FINALLY SAW SOH VIVI TODAY. Makes my day a lot, missing this girl so much.

Came here to clear my mind off stuffs... Can't proceed to studying. Is it because I am gonna be studying Maths? Haha discrete mathematics is like killing me with all that logic. Thank god I got a C+ for my first test. By right I actually need to work much harder for the upcoming test on next Friday that's why I am so pek cek now because it seems like my mind can't settle down and start attacking the nots. Maybe I should move on to another mod first before moving back to maths. Oh well.

I make jokes. Because who doesn't like making people laugh and also making ourselves slightly happier at the moment, at the same time? I can take jokes to a certain extent, quite a large extent so as to say. But please, do not take that as an advantage and start sprouting nonsense just for the sake of a joke and think about what you are saying for that moment. Especially if it is not even funny in the first place. If you have to make fun of me to say the joke, yeah go ahead, DO NOT drag anyone else in my life in for that little meaningless joke you're making.

---

I need to do something more meaningful because I know that doing meaningful things makes me happier. Like exercising, sweating it all out and feeling good about myself and my body afterwards. Like completing schoolwork and feel free of tasks and assignments on my hand (well this is why I am feeling bad now). And like doing good things, good deeds, being good to people and not ask for anything in return. How many times can we truly do that -- treat people well without any other thoughts or certain motives? Not even like, "Ok I've been gossiping about people quite a lot nowadays, it's time to pay back those karma points." or "I better start treating people well so that I will get nice treatment from other people." Disclaimer: I don't treat people badly! (a bit straightforward sometimes but nope I don't think I am bad) Just that if you think this way before doing a good deed, it's like a hidden motive isn't it? This makes me wonder what is it like to be truly sincere towards other people, and the only way should be... Not thinking about this question at all I guess? Since if we start thinking it means we're thinking of reasons and it would not be coming from the bottom of our hearts. Don't know if what I've said make sense at all lololol

Tests on next Tuesday and Friday. Was so traumatized by the weekly non-stop tests since week 3 of school but I think now I am quite adapted to this style, thank god. Hopefully after this post I'll be fully concentrated on what I have to do. I NEED MORE POSITIVE VIBES

If the saying is true that we should stay away from people who make you feel negative about yourself, should I?

Or... this other quote that I just saw,

"Once you learn how to be happy, you won't tolerate being around people who make you feel anything less."

I must constantly remind myself that those we do not need to care about those that doesn't matter. And also that people judges us lesser than we think.

So thankful for Shermy and the fam. Letting me know that I am not alone, always.
