e comincia domani

last thursday was pretty emotional in a sense because it really marked the end of a phase of my life. Sitting in the auditorium, waiting for my turn to go up the stage, i actually felt a bit like tearing. to think before that i wasnt even excited or even mildly felt like going to my convocation, i even went to mambo the night before and got myself so tired. but it was really a moment and i am glad i actually went to my convocation, it was a nice way to mark the end of an amazing 3 years.
i would have to say that these 3 years have been absolutely awesome, going to places that are amazing, meeting people who are amazing and seeing and experiencing things i have never done before. University life was good, although there were ups and downs, i managed to enjoy the school life and made some friends who i know i will keep for life. I wasnt like super enthusiastic about making friends in university, i could even say i wasnt the least bit enthusiastic. so i am not the kind that goes around saying hi to everyone, and trying to be everyone's friend. and i am glad i didnt. so i just have a few friends to keep and i am happy about that and i know we will still be meeting up even though we face different things. thats why during convocation i just stayed long enough to take photos with those who matter to me and i left very soon, heh. in the first year there was, hall life, it was an amazing experience and every night we laughed ourselves to sleep and i will never forget those good times. also with nice neighbours. in the second year i was lucky and i managed to get into tourism and hr.  also i met people who are always helpful, patient and nice, and in the third year i had nice final year project group mates. there was never a moment in the year when we were complaining. we were always there patient and willing to get pass anything and i am so proud of them and i learnt a lot from them. and i can say that i really enjoyed all my time in university when i am around.
university also brought me to so many places with so many opportunities.
i went to texas to work, met people who changed my life forever and changed how i would be as a person, changed how i made my choices. i had a great time with tx and her mummy traveling around usa and also i met new friends like jessica etc.
the usa trip brought me to more new adventures as it opened my heart and mind. and it led me to milan, where i met those wild people lol who gave me so much trouble and fun. that life was a crazy one. xin, nic, j, mike, ray, jin, saiko. amazing people and doing shit and traveling, drinking so much our bills were more than 300 euros and we had a shock. we didnt waste a single moment in europe, we were always living it up. went to so many places with so many things that happened. each country we lived to tell a tale. Greece, Turkey, Belgium, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Holland, England, Sweden. We were everywhere. 
After that, coming back to singapore was hard because Italy was so different it kinda changed how everything was supposed to be and the world just didnt feel right again but thanks to many friends who still exist and many things, i manage to feel alright in singapore again.
then i went to tanzania to teach, and i had a mindblowing experience, i saw what love and hope is, and i went there to give but i was given so much more. i took the hearts of the kids and now i carry them with me wherever i go. i pray for them and i hope they will have a better life. I know probably the next time i see some of  them would be in heaven, but i am even thankful for the chance. They make me know that everything is worth something and everything is worth being grateful for. Even the smallest things like dirty water.
Then i also managed to travel not only with my friends, but my family. I. went to eastern europe with the family and it was really such a cool place. then with xiaoyi's family, we went to france. then i went for 2 weeks with my sister to see the shanghai expo and beijing, and i just went to hokkaido with my family. 
and now that everything has been lived and experienced and is over and it is time to turn to a new page of my life.  i am thankful for the things i have been blessed with and the people i have met. most importantly, i am thankful for the people i have met before these 3 years, that even though i went away so much , did so many things, they are still here with me and i am still their friend. and also to my family, who supported me through most my adventures. lol to them stealing my passport for maldives.  and also thank god.
now that all has ended i am again an empty piece of paper, i am gonna start finding something in life, 
i hope i'll write an amazing story again.

life
