school has started and we're in our second week of sem and for some strange reason i don't feel like it's real. i feel like i'm going through with the motions and not feeling invested in anything that i do.
occasionally i had to remind myself to take stock of what i'm doing: sitting in bus A today i jerked awake with the realisation that i'm an undergraduate at NTU in my last sem..... very surreal. maybe it's because i'm not prepared - physically mentally and emotionally, to accept that this is THE last semester and that i'm on my way to a murky unknown. although i am excited about what the future holds i can't shake off that sense of foreboding and sneaky suspicion that life as i know it, will end this May/June as i don that convocation gown and throw up that convocation hat.
maybe it will take a couple more weeks of school for that fact to finally sink in for me... and i hope it won't be too late by then for me to start cherishing this last sem of school.
in other news i finally got my eyebrows trimmed today, had a pedicure done and bought two more rings! the freshly plucked brows and the glossy red toenails just makes me feel so good :D we all gotta groom and pamper ourselves at times. next up on my to-do list.... get a haircut (like finally!). and i had better get it done before the chinese new year.

a wild flower dies
where it blooms
so let me be
a wild flower
its death shall be
the fading of beauty
