Hello World!

Despite still having a presentation, some reports and assignments - the honours presentation is finally done. I personally could do better but the outcome was pretty okay. A few people said they liked it. I snorted and say thanks. Despite the doubt that they actually meant what they said, I did feel rather satisfied deep inside.

Due to the group assignments and presentations, I actually made some "new" friends. I had always knew they existed, but because of these group activities, we all had a chance to really get to know each other- and these people are really funny and nice. It's been a very hard but good semester. Personally, I'm just too lazy to be this hardworking, but I guess I did - I really pushed myself to the corners of my limit. (Note: We're talking about being alcohol and Facebook free here. And a lot of work)

I'm very slow, since a long time ago... I'm just very slow! Ask my school friends, they can testify. But I think I figured out why. I'm a bloody perfectionist. I think things through in too great a detail that it's unnecessary. I also tend to priorities minutely important things. This is a big flaw that I have to fix. It's a serious problem if I have to work independently - but in a team setting, I reckon it's not too bad a quality to have.

Looking back at my previous posts - I do get very emotional and it's stupid to put these up for public eyes. Guess I might be a closet attention seeker. Now that honours stuff's are out of the way, I'm officially living a normal life again. Such a huge weight off the shoulders. And I'd probably stop posting anything that wreaks the smell and taste of extreme emo-ness.

More happy days ahead I hope. It's my birthday soon but I don't feel like celebrating at all. Too much stuff is due that day and I've got short course all week. I have never asked for a particular birthday present before, except this year. I asked Stephen for a locket some time ago. Not sure if he remembered, he is after all a busy man. Sometimes, I think that the heavy curriculum of the engineering course is so, to prepare us for the tougher road ahead of being an engineer. I'm not exactly looking forward to this but, I have to admit, I am rather excited to say hello to financial independence.

After my exams, I actually feel like researching a bit on religion. I've been a slack lately and losing a lot of faith but I still want to believe. I hope I can find the answers I need to believe again. After all, it was said, "Ask and you will receive, seek and you shall find."

As of now, 2 reports, 1 presentation, 2 exam, a few more assignments and I'm done with my bachelor degree. Four years in a blink of an eye.
