quote of the day
"They're not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? - - Carpe - - hear it? - - Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary. "
From the movie Dead Poet's Society

i have finally regained my freedom. no more waking up at 7am. no more tax forms. no more quotas to meet. no more naggings from bosses. and mind you, i quitted. i wasn't fired. but i guess it's time to go since all the F1 and 2 cases tax forms have been cleared. nevermind if you dont get what im saying.
so now im voluntarily unemployed. and there's about 10 more weeks before i leave for UK. i shall spend my remaining holiday preparing for uni and getting all the necessary paper work done. speaking of which.. i still haven't received any letter from lse. and my friend told me that the deadline is soon!! argh. shall email them again. the englishs are really inefficient.
i must start catching up with all my long lost friends. i got 10 weeks to do so. probably one a day or something. think i should meet up with those migrating to nanyang land soon. the 25th is approaching. and yes dii that would be you :) im considering crashing the orientations and lectures of all 3 local universities. im kinda looking forward to my induction week (which is equivalent to the orientation week in local uni). can't wait to fly to London.
hmm.. i wonder how much i will miss my family and friends back in s'pore when im in UK. maybe im not as strong as i thought.
