An End Towards A New Beginning

I would say it was quite a success, this year's Week '0' Finale. Every of my colleagues were on board this whole project to end off the Week '0' Orientation for the coming Year 1s. My part was the Jam & Hop from 7.30pm to 10pm. The students streamed in to the Sports Hall quite late so we waited till a considerable crowd was formed before starting the programme. Turn out was about 1000, probably the most well-attended Freshmen Jam & Hops I could recall.

So a new academic year dawns this coming Monday. A new beginning packed with big and small new adventures, may it be making new friends, new subjects, new timetable, new lecturers/tutors. For one, all the CCAs are going to get fresh blood from the recruitment next week.

Probably not known to them, the department handling the recruitment drive has been maxed out from the past few major departmental events serving high brow events and those involving all the schools...back to back. Every weekend seems to pass by so quickly and it's just week after week of activities. No lull period when the students are off having their vacations. But that's the kind of work at SAA. Even the temp staff get to experience it with us, first hand.

I am looking forward to a brand new semester of challenges with my students. Hope I'll do better this year.

Quoting from some guy next door, with every ending comes a new beginning.

Dol-awass-eo • Back I think that’s what it means la. Act cool only. 😂  This picture's got nothing to do with this post, but I happy just want to put it here la...#tb27032023 Context: Today my bff reminded me that a while back she asked me to revive my blog and start writing again. So here I am, sitting in McD thumbing my comeback essay (eee…this word still brings the shivers) which could even be my last since I seriously don’t know where I’m heading with this. But one thing I can say though, the tagline of my blog still stands. Bandaged to be able to leave my heart. Not trying to be emo but it’s the truth. One type of bandage recommended by my bff is called “Manage Myself”. This includes not expecting to change others but managing my own expectation of how others can/should change. I haven’t read my previous posts since I last wrote (Dec 2016) but I vaguely remember one such emo post where I mentioned about less expectation = less pain. I can’t recall what caused me to write somet

Friendship Inc.

Quite a lot has been running through my head for the past few days, in particularly, the issue of friendship - what it meant to me in the past and what it means to me now. People around me have asked me, "Cynthia, do you have a best friend?" or simply, "Who are you close(r) to?" I don't know what the kind of answers they are expecting out of me and why they would want to know, but everytime such a question is asked, I can't immediately give an answer. It probably sounds kind of strange. I mean, if it's my close or best friend, wouldn't the answer be really straightforward and requires little thought to it? But yet I find that I'm unable to respond. All around me, I find that people are often seeking to be someone's special someone. It doesn't necessarily mean boyfriend-girlfriend kind of relationship. I mean isn't it nice to know that you have a special place in someone's heart, especially if that someone is one whom you find that
