all work and no play makes karen a dull girl. not forgetting to have fun with friends during this cny. going around doing house visiting, getting to know my friends one step further especially my nj friends. laughing at goi's baby photos and realising that one's future isnt a predestinated thing. wow-ing at tiong's huge and pretty house and drooling over his youngest brother. haha.. i guess the best part for me was going back to nj to visit ms ling. no matter how much i detest the school, we all love the familarity we get when we stepped into the school. the running track where we sweated and bled for napfa, students involved in all kinds of after-school activities (sports, dancing, slacking around in the cantenn, CCA) brought back fond memories. i love the feeling of going back to school to chat with a trcher whom i truly repect. talking about the good old days together, and updating each other with our lives, although ms ling had not been very tactful with her words that day, we all love her! =)
while, on the eve of cny eve, nj frens gave me a huge and pleasant surprise. so much of a high-class resturant right? luckily i din fall into their trick completely but i was damn angry and sad over that lousy pair of heels. damn it! to put that aside, the highlight was their sweet revenge. haha.. dingod's tiramisu still rocks the most and it ended literally in a high note with a bottle of white wine.

on a sad note, this cny taught me the harsh reality of life - the world is unfair. all of us lead a different life. you cant compare with others because deep down in your heart, you know you are a loser. you try so hard to make things a little better for yourself and everyone but there is always someone who will give you hope and destroy the hope simultaneously. you thought things will take a gd change but everything is just a illusion. it goes against what you want and it does not tally with your upbringings. you start to question yourself are your efforts worthwhile? you dont want to be defeated. you keep telling yourself to push on but will history repeat itself? there is nothing you can do. everything is just not within your abilities yet. positive energy starts to leave your body sliently, leaving you with nothing to fight. you start to give up and not hope for anything.
