New school, a whole whirlwind of new faces. It's really exciting but it's tiring too. I'm glad I have my old friends to keep in my heart. :3

Typing on my new laptop now! :)
Note: This isn't going to be a meaningful post. In fact I haven't been thinking of anything meaningful these days.
I've been quite excited about school especially since my timetable came out last night. But the excitement is mixed with a bit of dread about the days of slogging that await.
For one, it's going to take some time for me to adjust back to working mode. I went for a library research briefing yesterday (compulsory) and all the databases and citations the librarian introduced to us just gave me a headache (figuratively).
Okay the list can go on and on if I think about it, but I don't want to do any thinking now. Best strategy for school is to stop thinking and just look forward to the good stuff.
Like... good food places near school!

This is so cute :3

I just went for law camp and FTB (freshmen teambuilding camp)! I had fun in those two camps but if I had to choose I'd choose law camp where it was more fun. And the people seemed more interested in making friends...

My brother dissed me jokingly and said it's because I just like mixing with elite people -.- to which I  disagreed of course. Because not everyone in law is elite and also, there's nothing that interesting about elite people that makes me stick to them only.

We played traffic light for both camps. Traffic Light got a little weird when it came to this guy's turn... He started giving out tips on how to get the girl of your dreams o.o and his anecdotes can be described as either cute or creepy. I'm leaning towards creepy.

I feel like going for more camps but I'm either not free for them or I haven't found one that I'm interested in yet... I'm more interested in the CSP camps (community service) but I'm not sure it's really necessary to go, because I also intend to go for OCIP. I'd like to go for OCIP in year 1 but I'm not sure if I can find a group to go with.
As for CCA I'm interested in joining either Broadcasting and Entertainment, or Gourmet Club. B and E has 4 wings but I'm more interested in the radio wing (yes SMU has its own radio channel!) or the events/backstage wing. Gourmet club just sounds heavenly-- exploring exotic food places in Singapore! Woot. If I join Gourmet club maybe I should join fitness club too? o.o work away the calories lol.
And today I talked to Cheryl and found out that both of us would like to be facis for next year's law camp haha! It would be fun to see the juniors ^_^
I wouldn't mind being a faci for FTB but I think being a faci for law camp interests me more.

I want to grow up so I can be a shoulder for my family and friends to lean on...

Yucks, that sounded gross.

But it does reflect what I'm thinking of. Pity I can't put it in a less mushy way.

So I hate it when I inadvertently act like a kid...

At the same time I don't want to carry that much responsibility.

Solution: Continue whatever I'm doing and relax.

*sigh of relief

Tomorrow's my first meeting with OG people from law camp! Feeling apprehensive about it. Excited too.

Story of the day:
I went out with my aunt today, and we talked about how it was like when she first started her job. She's a nurse. She told me she got scolded everyday, and lots of the work was pushed to her, because she was a newbie. And she candidly told me she cried everyday at home. I asked her why she didn't quit her job then, and she said she needed the job. And sometime before this outing she told me that she was interested in nursing, which is why she ventured into it in the first place.
Now I'm pretty sure she's an outstanding nurse, going by the photos she shows me of her ward.
I guess my aunt is an example of the older generation who are so fearless and confident.
Frankly, my aunt annoys me sometimes. But I respect her too, so I keep this annoyance under the surface.
This story is something for me to sleep on... And to remember even after tomorrow.

Yeah! Local talent!! :)

Current two favourite local talents are Tanya Chua and Ming Bridges. Check out Ming's english songs!!

I borrowed a book called How Lawyers Lose Their Way from the library... The title is such a wet blanket, but it's the most interesting book I could find when I went to the law section in Jurong West Library... Hopefully after reading this book I'll know how to be a happy and fulfilled lawyer. Or I might not be a lawyer, but I would still need fulfillment in my job anyway! And this is where the book could be useful. I'll see.
Maybe 10 years down the road I'll tell you that I've set up an ice cream shop on Siloso Beach? Cos maybe by then I'd have decided that I really like the laid-back life? Who knows! Haha.

I've decided to treasure the time left before school reopens, cos as my brother said I probably won't have such a relaxing time for a really long time. Maybe I'll only be this relaxed when I retire. Or if I retire... So, I won't spend my day staring at the 4 walls at home anymore!

Sometimes worries about university float into my mind in the middle of a perfectly good book, a good meal, or a good drama... But now I have an answer to them, which is what Steve Jobs said in a speech somewhere! "Stay young, stay foolish."
:D

I read somewhere that said sonething like, you can sleep forever when you're dead, so don't spend your day resting. My brother said the same thing in passing today. It's like some kind of signal life is trying to send me. I've been spending my days sitting around at home and doing nothing at all except doing a few household chores. It's time for me to get out and plan my days with activities!!! Up and out, Marsha!!!

This song is coolbeanz!! Actually the first time I listened to this song was by watching a video which had an edited sound and her voice sounded a bit too high. I'm relieved to hear that this is her actual voice instead!
Anyway, I can't believe this is the first time I've heard a song by her. Before this, I didn't really notice her... she just got lost among all the other Chinese singers. Now she's something different!

I read somewhere that someone celebrating her 20th birthday wrote it as: "celebrating my 20th lap around the sun". That's such a romantic way to put it. Who actually thinks of life as doing laps around the sun?
Hey, I'm not slacking at home okay, I'm busy doing laps around the sun!
Gonna watch Sherlock on TV now.
