And before I know it, it's already Friday and spring break is almost over. Only 3 days left before school starts again. Argh so fast so fast! I want more holidays! More days like these when I don't have to go to school (but sadly, still have to do work sigh). It wasn't much of a break really - just slacking for a few days before starting work again. I think I feel somewhat rested though (at least there're no classes), but I just know that it's the calm before the storm, before the endless work and tests start again, before the cycle repeats itself, before I find myself under immense stress and pressure (partly cos of my own fault), and it'll be 8 weeks of finding that inner strength and perseverance within myself, encouraging myself and telling myself to hold on, in the hope that I'll be able to survive the rest of the sem. Hardly an encouraging thought huh. But really, I guess that's what this sem has all been about. Catching up, keeping up and persevering, holding on against the trials that life seems to bring almost every day. As it is, I've hardly done what I'm supposed to have done over the break. Well, how can I bring myself to do much work during the break, when really, all I need is a really really long break, to get away from everything, and not just a few days of respite? But no matter how sucky and difficult life can get, I must not forget Him, who's always there for me no matter what. And it really pains me that I've been more of a sinner, backsliding more, turning my back away from Him more, and yet He's always there. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

Anyway, I just realize that my freshman year is almost over. Only half a sem more to go! Where has all this year gone to? It's really so fast huh. Unbelievably fast. Which sometimes made me wish time would just stop, cos it's just passing by too quickly (and I don't like it).

Have played tennis twice this week. I really miss playing tennis and it just felt so good to play again. At least it's a more enjoyable form of exercise haha. And Jessica and I are addicted to the msn solitaire. Which is very very bad, cos it's really addictive and we must really consciously tell ourselves to stop playing, or else we'll never stop playing haha. And we played ping pong again yesterday too, both of us. Which really reminded me of the 4 hours we spent playing ping pong on Sunday haha. And somehow, I just remembered the 2 of us playing against xinghao and mingwei (and obviously we were getting thrashed). And the 2 guys were nice to let us win 19 points. In fact, they were like preventing each other from hitting the ball so that we could win the points (like xinghao pushing mingwei away and mingwei turning around when it was his turn haha). It was really really funny and 2 of us couldn't stop laughing. And I must say we're both touched by what they did.

Just talked to Huiling online, and she just came back from Jason Mraz concert! And she also went for Oasis concert some time ago. Unfair unfair! I also want to go to concerts too haha. The irony is that I'm here, the place where most of the music acts are from, and, maybe it's just me, but I don't seem to know of anyone coming over to have a concert. Haha. But then again, I'm so out of touch with the entertainment scene. Basically, no time. That basically sums up what my life here has been about haha. Oh well.

And I received a little email from my brother too. Well it was actually very short, but what he wrote was just so so funny, it made me laugh and nearly cry too. I don't know if you'll read this, but yeah, I miss you a lot haha.

It's only about 3.5 months left before I'll be going back. Seems like a long time, but I know that before long, it'll come soon enough. I think I've definitely handled my homesickness much better than last sem. But I definitely still miss home and all its familiary and comforts. And my family and friends too! And I don't know why, maybe we've been eating out everyday and basically eating chinese food almost everyday, but I'm craving for singapore & indo food a lot more now! Kerupuk, terang bulan, sambal goreng tempe, carrot cake, oysters, chicken rice, roti prata, tahu telor, mpek mpek, soto, rawon, nasi uduk (or nasi lemak as they say it in sg), crystal jade's roast duck haha, wanton mee, rojak, gado gado, the food from the nice seafood restaurant nearby my house in jakarta, and many many more! Okay shall stop myself now haha.

Oh well..better get going already. Work work work! So much work left to do. Oh well.
