happy new year!

yes, i know, super belated new year's greeting, no? =)

anyway, here i am, back in singapore, and back into the swing of things. am feeling much happier now that routine has set in.

spending new year's here was supposed to be a sad occasion. all alone, with most of my hostel friends not back yet, and the ones who were back weren't exactly party animals. however, it was a relief that two of my best pals came around to spend new year's with me.

we shopped in the day, "partied" at night...taking in the spectacular fireworks at the esplanade together with 90,000 other people. as we stood there, looking at the sparks and colours, i suddenly felt so grateful to be alive. it was good to be breathing. it was good to have friends. it was just...good.

and as i looked back at the past year, it wasn't so bad anymore. looking to the future, i actually felt excited to start my final year of JC.

therefore it was with enthusiasm that i faced moving day. although the mood was sombre the day before when moe came to clear up some doubts (they really shouldn't have come), i guess most of us were glad that the day had finally arrived.

the new hostel is absolutely gorgeous. like a hotel. like a condo. with rules as strict as the ones at prison. hehe. well, it isn't that bad la. i actually like it there. =)

don't have time to write anymore. shall maybe add more later.

anyway...happy new year!
