Of memories of school and reflections of personal life-goals.
today is the last day of class for all of us in AF05. it didn't hit me what that would really mean or how I would really feel on this very day (probably because of all the assignments that we have to rush for etc over the last week), but seeing all the FB statuses of my classmates' and friends' while I am at home waiting to go to school to join them for lunch (skipped the morning because I had not finished my assignment that is due today), a bittersweet feeling crept up and all of a sudden, I realized that I am really going to miss all this.
The morning madness to get to school on time on Tues, Thurs & Fri,
the b*tching & gossiping about certain 'wonderful' characters in the class who are on some of our common 'dislike' list,
the lunches at Bras Basah, Wendy's, Waterloo with my wonderful groupmates,
all the stupid bets of free lunches of yong tau foo that we will make to spice up our lives in school,
the meet-ups on off days from school to go KTV, play boardgames, mahjong etc,
the rushing of assignments till wee hours of the morning or late in the night together online, keeping each other awake,
etc etc.
Although it is not the last day of school, because we will still meet for our final post-briefing on 31 March, but it is the sitting in class together, hearing boring, and at times scary, lecturers going on and on with their notes, that is making everyone so emo today. :(
please don't let me cry in class today. :(

On a more thought-provoking note:
I realized that one of my supposedly-bigtime personal goal is actually not all that important to me, not anymore. A year or two ago, it was one of the three wishes that I would make on my birthday - but of course it never came true. And sometimes, I do have random thoughts about the possibility of it actually happening and that it is something that I hope to achieve within the next 4-5 years.
However, as I was doing my assignment on personal goals, I was horribly stuck. Because, it hit me that it is no longer a goal anymore. Or perhaps, it is no longer as important to me anymore, at least not at this point in time. Maybe it's because I realized that there is more to life than this, and there is so much more things that I want to do and achieve.
Or maybe because my thoughts and perspectives on this supposed goal have changed because of certain incidents.
Nevertheless, this epiphany is starting to shine some light on matters and issues to my life. =)
I guess, time for reflection is really important for each individual. Sometimes, due to the fast pace of lifestyle, we never stop to think, reflect and look back to check if certain things that we were going for are still our priorities, or whether it has changed unconsciously due to changes or circumstances that happened to us. Wouldn't it be sad if you just go for the supposedly goal, without stopping once in awhile to make a check, and realize at the end of it all that perhaps this goal is no longer as important to you as other goals may have become?
