Tomorrow is the start of new term...
and there will be less time for me to relax and do random stuff..
hehehehe..
Quite sad but it's okay..
since I already enjoyed a good summer holiday..
Earned myself plenty of new experience..
and now I know how hard it is to earn money so I gotta be more self-conscious when it comes to spending money..
Working in my aunt's company was certainly an enlightening experience..
I was exposed to real-life working experience..
and it wasn't the most pleasant experience I could ever get..
but it's good to learn things through the hard way..
so you'll be more resilient the next time you are faced with the same situation...
because you've been through the worst..
Anyway, new academic year, new stuff to study and of course, new way of studying..
I pray that I will do well for this year and get myself a summer placement in big chemical company, hopefully P&G...hehehe...

I have finally arrived in Newcastle after a long and arduous journey..
but the weather in Newcastle is crazy!!!
So cold!!!
It wasn't like this last year..
I have a bad feeling that this coming January is going to be hell!!!
September is already this cold, what about January???
Anyway, moved into my new house..
the house is definitely not the best I can get..
The furniture is new but the arrangement seemed to be anyhow done..
My room is the biggest cos it used to be a living room..
It has a sofa, 3 tables (dunno for what), a medium book shelf and a wardrobe..
I have plenty of space in my room but nowhere suitable to put my bed..
Currently, my bed is in the middle of the room and it really looks very odd..
but I don't have the time to care about that now..
Got plenty of things to do today especially after Suyanto messaged me yesterday to settle the remaining utilities bill and the deposit..
So gotta work hard today!!!!

Today is already my last day in Singapore..
I'll be leaving for London early in the morning the next day..
Can't believe that 6 days passed so quickly..
When I first planned the trip, I thought, 6 days should be more than enough..
but when you spend the time to meet friends, 6 days will never be enough..
There will surely be something to do everyday, something to talk about as well..
I will never be bored when I talk to my close friends..
I always feel I can talk the whole day when I meet them..
Well, yesterday I went to Pasir Ris Park to eat!!!
Imagine that I have to go from Boon Lay MRT which is at the far west of Singapore to Pasir Ris MRT which is at the far east of Singapore..
so it's a trip round Singapore..hahahaha..
but anyway, it was a good experience..
First time eating the seafood over there...
I ordered dried chili frog, bamboo clam, and kangkong belachan..
Never tried bamboo clam and dried chili frog before so it was really a good experience...
The bamboo clam was cooked with garlic and it really brought out the good taste of the clam..
A very very nice meal indeed..
After eating, I walked around the beach for a while and the sky was so clear yesterday..
Stars can be seen easily and to top it off, it was one day before the mid-autumn festival so the moon was really bright and almost round...
When you walked under the trees, it felt so peaceful, it was as if you would like to stay there forever enjoying the cool breeze and the drifting sound of the sea..
I saw a couple sitting together surrounded by candles..
How nice was that???
Maybe I should try it with my girlfriend in the future..hehehe..
It is a place worth going..
similar to East Coast Park but it is less crowded so it is a perfect place for a couple who wants to enjoy the time of their life..
hehehehe..

I will forever be a child no matter what I tried to do..
I was born into a family who cares for me too much..
Ok, maybe some people say it's good cos it shows that they love me and so on..
but I think that the affection they give me is excessive..
I am already 21 years old which is an international age for an adult..
Therefore, I should have the liberty to do whatever I want, and go where ever I want..
My family should already know that I don't like stuffs like clubbing, drinking and all those stupid things that make you feels high...
but why do they still control me like I am still a child?
Yesterday I went out with friends..
and it should be obvious that I wouldn't stay in one place for the whole day..
I went out with my sister in the morning and then parted ways and walked around Orchard with my friend to look for presents..
After that, she had to go to church and so I was alone...
Having nothing to do, I decided to go to NTU to visit my fellow comrades...hehehehe..
we talked and played until I forgot the time...
When I realised it was already 11, I rushed back immediately..
At that time, I thought, my sister should still be awake since she never go to bed as early as 11 pm..
That was a mistake...
I should have informed her where I was and what time I would be home since my phone battery was low...
I rushed like mad but still not enough to catch the last train..
so I had to go back with cab..
and as soon as I reached home..
I received a good scolding as expected..
Apparently, when I went out, my mum had called my sister and asked her to do this and that for me..
All those were actually unnecessary but I appreciated their care and concern and told my sister that I did not need all those as it would be provided in my new house..
What I am not happy about is that why they still want to know who I go with and where I go???
It is as if they give me the impression that they do not believe me...
I hate people who don't trust me when I have been so nice to them..
It really made me depressed..
Today is supposed to be one of the most important days in my life..
but I already start the day with a gloomy mood...
and to make it worse, it is raining so early in the morning..
How I wish for the day where my family would give me the liberty to do whatever I want without any intrusion..
I wonder when it will come true..
I wonder...
Maybe I'm really just a boy after all...

Going to Singapore on my friend's birthday may be one of the biggest decisions that I have to make in my life..
I was forced to choose between family or friend..
I tried to balance as far as I can..
and chose to come to Singapore after what I thought enough balancing..
It turned out well indeed..
I almost screwed up as I did not bring the birthday present on time due to unforeseen circumstances..
Gave her quite a surprise when she called me and heard me wished Happy Birthday!!!!
FYI, I called her as soon as I reached Singapore and repeated that in the afternoon for many times but she was busy with her work...
Luckily, I had a diversion and gave her the actual birthday present on the next day..
Well, actually it was 2 days after her birthday..
I know it lost its meaning but certainly it did not undermine my effort..hehehehe..
The present was a custom-made mug which I drew our favourite anime character on it..
She thought I bought it somewhere..
but then I asked her to look at the bottom of the mug and it has my trademark on it..
She told me she likes the mug and will make good use of it..
What my friend said is really true..
"Everyone can buy presents but only a few can make birthday present"
and to make a birthday present certainly means more than buying one..
That sentence is what pushed me forward to make one for her..
I'm happy that I can make a difference in a person's life..
Although it is only for a while..
To me, birthday is a once-a-year event and should be made special...

.....I think my blog is a gone case now..
3 months without updates and the c-box is gone..
I think I need to change to one that gives a permanent membership in case this sort of things happen again..
So yeah..holiday is almost over and tomorrow I'll be leaving for Singapore..
eager to celebrate friend's birthday and my favourite artist's birthday!!!
Hehehehe...
but last day is always the most emotional moment..
yesterday I just had a farewell dinner with some of my colleagues...
and they gave me a picture of us together in Brastagi trip...
then we went to arcade and played until it was near the closing time..
and tonight will be farewell with my parents...
Although I have been overseas for these past few years...
The last day before departure is still hard..
But anyway, I'm not going to spend my time blathering and complaining...
Looking forward to 20th September and hope that everything will turn out well...
