*memories*

Realized it's been a week since I've wrote my last entry. Been complaining to people about my hectic schedule: 3 mid terms in the past week, 3 final projects in the coming one, 1 final project 1 test and 1 final exam in the next one and 1 final exam in the next next one. On top of it, I haven't book accomodation for my parents and I when we go to New York in 3 weeks' time. Not forgetting me having to pack up - splitting my stuffs into 3 categories: to bring home, to send to UK and to leave here in the US. Think I'll push the packing right to the last day before my parents come over *Xiuli the procrastinator*

Honestly, I haven't been as busy as what it seems. Guess the past few weeks had been the happiest and most fruitful period I had in UIUC. (Which make it even more bittersweet that I'm leaving in 3 weeks' time) Friday nights with Likyin - lamenting our plights, but yet happy about it at the same time; watching Grace and Andrew squabbling; how Dennis always give in to Andrew; how going back home from church turned out to be a car washing and ice-cream session; how Grace managed to get her ears pierced *our secret, ahem*. Not forgetting the time when I played soccer at "Asian Cup" - pretending to be very much into the game by running around and stop when I'm 0.5m away from the ball (ball phobia, all thanks to Soon Meng's ramming the ball into my chest in JC2), and when we played broomball today - ice hockey with sport shoes on the ice-skating rink. People were sliding across everywhere, falling on their butts and knees. Guess it's an experience that I'll never get anywhere else.

Well, it doesn't mean that only the events above constitute to my life in UIUC. There are a lot of people who have made me more matured and a better person in this year too, be it through guiding me or hurting me. On one hand, there's a part in my heart that has found inner peace, but yet, on the other hand, I find more negative emotions within myself than I've ever had towards certain issue(s). Not really sure how to go about handling it, because I don't even really know what's the problem, or whether it can be resolved. All I can do is to pray (to whoever's up there) that such negative emotions will be purged eventually, and I really hope so, hope that I'll be able to see the better side of certain things. Haha, told myself not to be so judgmental, but it's not that easy... Hehz, not going to go into a sappy entry, not yet... I still need to face the people here for 3 more weeks, hahaha...

"这个世界一直不断的改变;
经过的事,认识的人,都将是过眼云烟。
但都说了,就因为是如此,所以才特别的珍惜。
在珍惜的当儿,也会特别的去享受每一分每一秒。
但是,也因为如此,有时会不小心的产生压力。
不知道为什么生活就是如此。"

i almost forgot about the issue regarding Soon Meng's less-than- gracious rams.

Hope your fear of balls (soccer balls) would go away soon ya?
