me feels very empty&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;cos' i know that there's like no more new friends episodes to look forward to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;it's really the best show i've watched to date&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and you really get very attached to the characters&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I always get way too drawn into shows, especially serials&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I get attached to the casts&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I get all emotional after the end of each episode&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and when I meet people who watch the same show,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;that'll be all i want to talk about&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm not sure if this happen to everyone&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but it certainly is taking it's toll on me&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Like some withdrawal symptom&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;By the way,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;i'm spending 90% of my time watching shows&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;i'm just trying to complete as many shows as possible before I enter the army&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm planning to watch midnight in paris soon too&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;cos' it's another great show&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;alright, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;back to watching New

type='text'>Nostalgia</title><content type='html'>It's the second day of chinese new year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a summary of the past week,&lt;br /&gt;went to fuhua with kristie on friday, it was very last minute. &lt;br /&gt;So i didnt see any teachers, but mr low found me outside the staffroom. &lt;br /&gt;Chatted with him for awhile. &lt;br /&gt;Before going off to meet weiting to buy some stuff for ns. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While walking to fuhua, i saw a lot of students. &lt;br /&gt;Walked past rulang, shuqun and i suddenly realised how old i actually am. &lt;br /&gt;It has been years since i last visited my primary school&lt;br /&gt;And thinking about it, it has been awhile since i've graduated from RPS. &lt;br /&gt;Time really flies and so much has changed. &lt;br /&gt;Friends come and go&lt;br /&gt;So much has happened &lt;br /&gt;Can't believe 7years have past just like this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really hope time can just past slower sometimes. &lt;br /&gt;I just want more time to appreciare  everything around me before they're gone. &lt;br /&gt;Everything is just passing too fast!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we were younger, we were rushing to grow up,&lt;br /&gt;But now, all i hope is just more time to be young again;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the times where we were more naive.&lt;br /&gt;Back to the times where we have nothing to worry about&lt;br /&gt;Back to the times where ... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just once more, i wanna feel less stressed, uptight, anxious etc...&lt;br /&gt;Just hope things will slow down for awhile.&lt;br /&gt;Just hope that time will pass slower&lt;br /&gt;And hope that i will have more time to appreciate stuff around me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright, it's CNY and i'm at my aunt's place. Should hang out more with my cousins instead of updatig my blog. Haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE OUT THERE!&lt;br /&gt;HAVE A GREAT 'DRAGON' YEAR&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

year&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;once with my jc classmates&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and another time with huaxuan and nicky&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;it was fun both times round&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but huaxuan's and nicky's one was more thrilling&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;cos' it was the first time i travelled out of city square&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and we cabbed to quite a number of places&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm glad they were that adventurous ,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;if not, i'll never have the chance to explore johor&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'll be entering NS soon too,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;have been hearing a lot of stories&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and have been doing some training

hope much though&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;sigh....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I just want time to fly &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and this 2 years will be gone in a jiffy&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Still, I hope that i'll be able to adopt a positive perspective&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and thus, I'll be able to enjoy my time in NS&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and then time will

The dreadful year...&lt;br /&gt;I'll be in National Service in a month's time and i'll be spending my next 2 years there. &lt;br /&gt;I'm a little nervous and worried already&lt;br /&gt;I mean, i'm gonna be in the military and I am not sure where i'll be posted to after my BMT.&lt;br /&gt;It freaks me out not knowing what's the path ahead. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there'll be my A levels result&lt;br /&gt;The exam i've worked the hardest for my entire life. &lt;br /&gt;The one thing i have to excel!&lt;br /&gt;I'm pinnig all of my hopes on my A's and I really hope that i'll really ace it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there's the apocalypse!&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure whether I believe it,&lt;br /&gt;But it is a fact that the world is in a very bad state now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well, who knows what the future will hold. &lt;br /&gt;If there's one thing i've learnt in 2011,&lt;br /&gt;It'll be to live life to the fullest so that you'll have no regrets. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE OUT THERE, we've made it through another year!

It sounds like a waste to sleep on the plane, cos' there'll be so many shows to watch. But then, i'll need sleep to be energized throughout the trip. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btw, i just came back from prom.&lt;br /&gt;Didnt attend the entire thing but i was there to take pictures with my classmates. It looks nicer than fuhua's. At least, everyone look nice (even with make up on). &lt;br /&gt;Felt quite sad that i couldnt be there for the entire evening, but... Oh well. I'll still have a chance to attend in my uni days. Hope i won't miss that. Alrght, i've written quite a bit and i'm gonna end here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bon voyage. :D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Regarding the A's,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;well things weren't as smooth as it was for the O's&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;there isn't any paper where I can confidently say that it's a definite A&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Competition is stiffer (that's for sure)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;which means that it'll be harder for me to attain the A&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but still, I hope that the two years worth of mugging will be able to get me somewhere&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I really do hope that i'll be able to excel in my A's&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;cos' it's the route to uni.&lt;br

feels like we're all in one big family&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I've really learnt a lot in this 2 years&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I feel empowered&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I feel closer to

achieve success&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On a side note,&lt;br /&gt;had fun today with these gang!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;was suppose to try ice skating for the first time in my life&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but the rink was booked for private purposes&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;oh well... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;we ended up watching Johnny English

watching it again even if it is free.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;that's just my view though.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Head down to the F1 racetrack after the show&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and spent some time
