Taking the very late 179 bus home earlier, staring out of the window while passing by the buildings of the different faculties and then the chinese cultural centre, it really dawned on me that it’s really coming to an end. And as Jason Reeves said before, the end is such a scary place to start.

Not counting the finals, I’m really coming to the start of the last week of my university life. Or on a bigger picture, the very end of 16 years of formal education, at least for the foreseeable future. 4 years of university life have been a continuum of hits and misses. For what it’s worth, I’m thankful the hits far outweigh the misses.

Looking outwards, I’m not afraid of what’s out there really. But the end of one phase and the start of another phase, it’s the same feeling as trying to snuggle out of bed in the morning – i really like the comfort of the bed even though i knew it’s necessary to get out of the bed for anything to be done. Student life, i will miss you and its concessions!

Words can’t express how inspired I am after watching this.

I’m probably one of the last ones around to watch this since I’ve heard of “The Last Lecture” more than a couple of times, but didn’t find enough time nor impetus to spend more than an hour on this. As things somehow always fall into its place, I’m supposed to watch this for e-learning.

Professor Randy Pausch is a man I haven’t heard about before this video, but he’s now a person that I really look up to. A role model. A man who had his dreams and made them. A man who epitomises the word ‘inspire’.

Something new for me today -- 1 hour 13 minutes is all it takes for a random stranger to put me on my knees and win over me completely. Two words I’ve got for this man.

nice compact house in land-scarce Tokyo. would be great if they start building this in Singapore too!

Time for a breather! Handed up eff-why-pee first draft! Finally, I’m almost done with you! Those nightless nights, dayless days of struggle. Last few weeks haven’t been easy juggling so many things but I’m thankful for the good things that happened between all the mess. And it’s less than 2 month to the big adventurE :)

posters for 2 of the group design projects this semester

taking a step out of the usual foot steps, i realised that there are really a lot of information all around me. everything seems interesting enough for me to think about investing a little bit of time exploring it, yet there are only 16 working hours every day.

the campus papers, the international tribunals, CNA news, fiction books, a new interesting film, an old interesting film, that website that teaches Korean language, the newly discovered Scandinavian indie bands, the website that collects some awe-inspiring product designs, the one-day lomography shoot that i’ve always wanted to embark on…

Bookmarks one too many, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to get back onto them.

Oh, december it seems? When dreaded exams are done, the streets are decorative and all is rosy.

Oh, but there’s still FYP. fuck.

We should really start thinking about how life starts and how it ends, and think about how to fill the spaces in between with a multitude of emotions that is gratifying enough not to be forgottten. – November 6, 2009
