I should be studying.

The name of the title clearly explains what I've been telling myself through and throughout this entire week so far. Yet, nothing has worked.

The second half of the semester has officially started SINCE LAST WEEK and still, my body is lagging behind, probably stuck somewhere in the midst of the first semester. Can somebody rescue me before I turn into an anxiety-filled, stressed maniac by the end of the semester when you know what's coming up, that's right, EXAMS! GG -.-.

Its funny though, I have the motivation to blog and rant but none to open my books and sort through my notes/lecture slides/things to memorise. I try to keep my blog entries nice and motivating but it's kinda hard to when you're not feeling that motivated yourself. Hope this feeling won't last too long, cannot afford to!!

Alrighty, nothing much more to say..have a good weekend =]

Friendship contemplation (just another rant)

Lately I've begun to think about friendship and what it really means and why we need friends. To be honest, I probably think about these types of things too much, if you know me well you'd probably say I'm over-analysing situations and people or whatnot. Maybe I am and maybe I tend to, but that is only because I truly value my friends and not because I want to be analytical.

Ever since high school, possibly from fourth form onwards I guess you can say that I lost my naivety and innocence (in a friends-related sort of sense). Back in the days before then, I was the sort of girl who thought that I should try to be friends with everyone no matter if we got on or not. Obviously it's not as easy and simple as that, coming from my experience. If it were, then the whole world would be friends and everyone would get along but that's not reality. Reality is we vary in personalities, habits, wants, needs and so on. Friends somewhat fulfil or supplement those things. That is why we often see people who are very different butt heads in ideas or simply do not get along.
I just want say...that's normal!

Previously, I would of thought to myself something along the lines of 'Why can't I just be friends with them, why don't they like me? What's wrong with me?'
I now understand that is just a part of life, no one is perfect. We cannot force ourselves to like someone just like we can't force ourselves to hate another. Let's just cherish the friends we have at the moment, remember the wonderful memories we've had with previous friends and hope for success in our friendsips to come :D

Rewind and retell

Wow...it's been more than a month since my last post, I'm ashamed. Sorry to any readers I've been letting down, I guess it's true what they say, time passes fast when you're having so much fun=]

Time has officially escaped from my grasp this past month as a result of the excess free time I've gotten due to term break. But now, it's that time again, the start of a whole new semester. New papers, new classmates, new books (ugh)...I don't know whether to be happy or sad. I'm happy because I can stop wasting time and actually start using my brain juice again but I'm also sad because the holidays ended near such a highlight of this year. That is, my trip to Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and Gold Coast, Australia. To sum it up in one word, it was AMAZING. I guess it's also to do with who you go on the trips with, going with my best friend and her family made the trip extra special. Its trips like those that remind me how much I love to travel and experience the freshness of an entirely unfamiliar territory, the feeling is exhilarating in itself.

If you ever get the chance to travel to Australia, I do recommend those three places, not one let me down. Each has its own flavour and feel, whether it's more to do with nature or buzzing with city craze, a mix of both made it more exciting. Sunshine Coast lives up to its name, though not at its peak sunshine, was still enough to be warmer than chilly Auckland. One word that comes to mind when I think back to Brisbane is NIGHTLIFE. That is, not clubs and stuff like that but think Queen Street but ten times more lights, sounds, people and stores. It was to the extent that we could compare it to Asia nightlife (Really fun for people who like to shop at dusk). Last but not least...GOLD COAST. What can I say? I'm sure many people have already heard numerous stories of this well known tourist location so I won't elaborate. However, I will say that I absolutely loved Gold Coast, probably more than the other two places. It had everything you could possibly want when on holiday, shopping, great food, great sites, nature, theme parks, concerts, the list goes on.

That's just a short summary of my holiday experience because I think the best way to explain my holiday is through my photos and not my words =P [Check FB]
Anywho, new start, time to add oil and work through this semester like there's no tomorrow! Most of all, don't stress just do your best =]
