Yep, and with Wednesday over last week, another chapter of one of my activities in NTU has closed.
Last week was the last event of the Main Committee of Deli Aprecio Club 2007/2008. It was the Welcome Tea, and we had the election of the new committee. Technically, after they have been officially elected into the new committee, our job's done. So... after the loose ends have been tied up, life with DAC should be a thing of the past.
It feels rather weird, though, seeing as I've been in the committee for the past 3 years. I've worked with many different people from different courses, and learnt about different ways of working. And I've seen DAC going from a 2 year old club to a 4 year old one, a rather old age for a club to be in NTU, I think, seeing as people would assume that we have had more experience after 4 years. Ah well.
Anyway, with this chapter closed, as I mentioned before a few entries ago, other things will start, like research work, tuition, and others. Other things will inevitably come and take DAC's place. But that doesn't mean DAC's forgotten. Haha... it has been a rather significant part of my NTU life from the time I began there, and to a certain extent, it has shaped me too. So... Yup.
I'm feeling all kinds of emotions at the moment, and I've got readings at the back of my mind in the to-do list section, so I guess the sense of nostalgia I'm feeling is not really being translated here. Oh well, perhaps when I have time I shall come back to reminisce about it. But till then, I'd just like to leave a mark here to show the end of one chapter. Many more are going to open up in my life, but that doesn't make any other chapters any less significant. =)

Online Shopping
I thought I was over that phase already! =( But recently I've been feeling an urge to go look at the stuff available in my livejournal account. Oh man... Itchy fingers, itchy eyes, itchy heart! Somebody help me to curb my spending!!!
Haha but luckily, I haven't spent on anything yet. I've a target to reach. I wanna go Europe for grad trip!! Anyone wants to go?

Reading People
I can't deny this any longer. I'm terrible at reading people. I can't tell how they are feeling by looking at them and their behavior! Is it a matter of self-confidence, or is it just insensitivity on my part? Or some other reason? How the heck am I gonna be a good psychologist in this case?
Hmm... Food for thought, isn't it?

Tired
Second week of school and I'm knackered. And there's nobody else in Hall 6 to liven up my hall life. =( Well that is, with the exception of Kok Yong, but he's two floors down and I'm two floors up and there's no way we can study together because of space constraint.
I feel like jumping into bed and sleeping my life away for now.

Blessed
The last week has made me realize again that I am a very very lucky girl, and I would like to thank the following people for making my life so much easier. Without the three of you, I think I'd probably be going very mad right now.
1) I was stressed about my attachment report- the formatting, forgetting to include certain sections of the report into the contents page, thinking about how to hand it in when it's not very convenient to go over to the North Spine to hand it in when I'm at Outram one day and South Spine another.
Enter my wonderful knight in shining armour- Mr Ang Kok Yong, who told me to just write the contents and he'd do everything else for me. And by "everything else", I meant the formatting, the printing, binding, and delivery of the report. And that meant that he'd be in the lab doing his FYP for a shorter period of time.
And because I had been in NTU doing my report till rather late in the night, he also delayed his dinner (cos he was in the process of doing the formatting- it's a long story, I'd rather not say it here), and we ended up having supper at Buona Vista and 10pm. It was impractical for him to send me home to Bedok when Buona Vista's just a few stops away from Boon Lay, but he offered to, anyway. He only stopped after we found out there's a straight bus from Buona Vista to Bedok. And you know what this wonderful guy did? He kept me company on the bus, talking to me off and on on the phone (well hand phone bills are expensive you know), checking how many stops I had left, even though he himself was very tired too. He only put down the phone after I had gotten into the cab, after knowing which cab I was in, because by the time I reached Bedok, it was 1230am, and everywhere was dark and quiet. How wonderful is he?
2) The last week of the summer break also means that I have to start preparing to pack to move back to hall. However, I've been busy with the graduation project, and other things, so I didn't really have time to pack my things. Enters another angel- Mira! I had only told her to pack the cleaning supplies for me, and I would pack all the rest, but when I came home, I found that everything had been packed, and more. Mira had read through my list, and added in things which I had forgotten. And you know what was most touching? She remembered that I like having a little bolster case to sleep with, and she included that for me too! That was not necessary, but she actually remembered this little thing. How sweet is that?
3) Of course, I wouldn't have made it to hall without transport of my own, and my dear father provided me with that. He made 3 trips down to NTU, and even went around looking for things which I did not have at home so that I could bring it to hall. Without him, I'd still be left with a million and one other things to bring back to hall.
I am really very thankful for all the help all of them have given me, and being there for me. All these deeds, though seemingly small and might also seem to be the role they are supposed to play, hence the duty they performed, are nonetheless really really wonderful. They all went above and beyond their roles, just to make it easier for me to survive. Thank you all so so much. I think to a large extent, I am what I am today because of each of you. =)
