4 months and I am still...

It has been 4 months since I stepped foot on this little red dot. In a blink of an eye, my first ever semester in NTU has come to an end. Time really flies by quickly. It never stops to wait for me. -_-"'

First sem is over! I ought to act a bit emo, right? lol...Time for reflection on what I have done to my little life.

Have I changed? Essentially nothing has changed in these 4 months. I am still the same old guy that is annoyingly talkative (yes I know I can't shut my mouth up) and is still hooked on his fav tv shows. Yea, I still feel sleepy all the time even if I have slept for way more than 8 hours a day. And I still do things by following my heart instead of my mind, which equals to being irrational and emotional.

In one way, I'm glad that I stay true to myself and be happy most of the time, but in another way, I hate myself for not being self-disciplined and focus on my study. I either was late for classes or just skipped them. I can barely sit still for more than 5 minutes to read academic stuff. Arrr...how many times have I told myself to get rid of my bad habits? Well, I guess it won't be considered a bad habit if it could be gotten rid off easily. lol...Well, I swear I will try harder next sem. We'll see.

Believe me, when it comes to study, I am capable of giving myself tons of reasons not to study, even during the freaking exam period. Excuses after excuses... I feel bad sometimes because I promised my family that I would change to be more serious and hardworking in NTU. Liar! It wasn't my intention to lie though. :p Who doesn't want to be successful? But then, define success for me.

Stop writing on your boring higher education. Urghh...Give yourself a #$%@!$* break. Yay! 5-week sem break. I couldn't be more grateful. Overall, my life here in NTU is really fun but a bit stressful at times. Still, I prefer my comfortable home in Malacca. Staying in hostel makes me realise how much love my parents dedicate to me. My siblings are jealous of me as they claim that my parents (especially my dad) dote on me, the youngest son. I didn't agree with them at all but now my opinion is swayed more towards their side. Hahaha it isn't my fault to be adorable, is it? *blushes* *pukes* :p

Talking about things that make me happy - TV shows. Hehe, I like that a lot of my friends are fans of Prison Break and Heroes. It's fun watching movies together. And yes, I am not the only one who is crazy over Survivor and to a lesser extent, Amazing Race.

I never get bored watching Survivor and Amazing Race even though most people think they're repetitious. They are not. Survivor keeps topping itself for the last 3 seasons. You thought it could never get better and the production team of Survivor prove you wrong. The latest season, Survivor 17: Gabon has been very entertaining. I would definitely encourage people to watch its awesomeness. It's very interesting to see how people interact with one another. Love the revealing human nature, as well as the untouched mother nature. Gabon is really beautiful. As for Amazing Race, I got to learn some geography and it's always entertaining to watch the meltdown of some racers under the pressure of the competition. There are reasons why this show won the Emmy for 6 consecutive years. What a feat!

I just finished watching the latest episode of Prison Break (Season 4 Episode 12). Love this episode from top to bottom. This quote from T-Bag is meaningful: "We are captives of our own identities, living in prisons of our own creation." I think he is trying to say that somehow we're being stuck in an imaginary prison of our own. You wanna break free? Dream on!

Vacation is love. More and more friends are leaving campus with their luggage and this place is getting creepily silent. Seeing others leaving with the smile on their faces kind of makes me want to get back home immediately. Well, just another 3 more days it'd be my turn to say bye bye to NTU (though it's just a temporary good-bye). Hope everyone has a fruitful amazing vacation! Plus, Christmas and 2009 are coming. How exciting! ^_^
