The City That Never Sleeps

Caught Vettaikaran on Saturday evening. Typical Vijay movie except songs were enjoyable minus Vijay's new wig. Met up with the girls yesterday for a nice lunch at Marche and were chilling thereafter at Spinelli's for coffee. Heartwarming session always discussing about future plans, life, facebook dramas and scandals as well as debate over lunch about general practitioners vs specialised doctors in the field. Gonna head to watch Paa soon and planning for 3 idiots on Tuesday. As well as more plans for pulau ubin (need passport adhy!), paintball etc when gang is in full form again.
With that the semester is drawing close also. 2 core + 1 breadth + 2 technical electives ahead of me for semester 6. Semester 5 results wasn't much improvement. Certain modules were abit disappointing. Especially for material science and human resource module which I put it alot more effort than deserving a C and B- respectively. Oh well. Bellcurve never works to your favour being an engineering student. I have been learning it abit harder every semester. But let me put in more effort the next 3 semesters and see if I can reap better results in time for graduation in 2011. During my long rides in the coach ride within Turkey, I managed to re-read 2 books. The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch as well as Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Finished Things I want my daughters to know by Elizabeth Noble last night also. Last lecture was a very inspiring read as the author is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is given couple of months left with life. How he tries to make the most out of all it and make his demise the easiest on the love of his life as well as 3 kids is amazing. It made me wish that maybe we all need such a indication with death so we can plan life accordingly and not bother about unimportant things in life. People who don't matter anymore. Petty things like not doing the laundry won't matter. Live like we're dying by Kris Allen indeed. Things I want my daughter to know is a very heartwarming, light hearted read seeing how the step-dad tries to hold his 4 daughters together after the demise of his wife. The letters their mum leaves behind to share with them the way to live their lives, the directions, choices, decisions they should make. And greatest of all, to love. Will try to crystalise the year 2009 later tonight. |
