my first


this blog'd been an intention since i came back to S'pore after the long break in Vietnam, until now. i wanna have a proper avenue of emotions for my next phase of life, after all the storms and rainbows of the past 19+ years.
let me recount...

i was all stressed up after prelims... and as a result all geared up for the final battle... i was disciplined... still, there was little guarantee that i'd do it good... i lost sleep the night before the results were out... and couldn't believe i was holding my slip the next day, which showed a dream come true...

i went to work, at a bar for a week, and then at Times for 3 months plus... both were good in their own ways, though the bar experience was pretty painful...

i appllied for many scholarships... the SPH english test was horrendous... the IDA wasn't much better... and when i thought all chances had passed, a spark came and i became a firefly...

life's been mostly on the up ever since i got back here... i've met new friends... i've done new things, which i never tried before... i've become more acceptant of my looks... and above all... i still have my old good friends... cheers :)

there were low points, of course. like when Lan Anh left for Vietnam, and i knew i'm not gonna see her any time soon. but i still missed her flight cuz i woke up late... or when i didn't get into NUS law... though it later turned out to be a good thing...

now might be another low point... when school and life and things else don't work out the way i want them to... i'd get up... but i need some time... and i need you :)

anyway...

a dedicated blogger is someone who no matter how pressed by time or charm or calmness would commit to his online expressions and not disappoint an excited and gossipy and, of course, caring audience.

i guess i just am not that sort, hahaha. i blog when i like. sometimes i blog to myself, on things not exactly very nice to reveal to many others, but a few close to heart. you know who you are :)
but i do hope i could commit myself to this blog... i'm tired of searching for a good skin and a good host... it's time i started to blog...

stay with me... and be in my mind :)
