all shapes and sizes

people come in all shapes and sizes.

despite my 4 years in an approximately 250 chemical eng students body, i dont know know all of them. to set the bar lower, let's define know as you recognize this person in your cohort so you dont have to know this person on a personal level.

there was this day, a group of students decided to bake cookies and give them for free to those hardworking students just to make them simle.

there are some guys who are the prim and proper boyfriends. they belong to the group that mums will love them to bits at the first house visit.

on the down side, there are bound to be immature and childish (oops, do they mean the same?) people around you. their intelligence level made me feel disgusted. they describe themselves as reckless and childish but do those give them enough reasons to not act their age?

maybe meeting new people is a fun thing to do afterall.

up in the air

what will you put in your backpack?

i dont know why this movie receives so little publicity. maybe because spore is showing it very very way behind us, so the hype died down. anyway, i wanted to watch it when i saw the teaser.

it kinda strikes me now that it is important to maintain balance in life which i cant do it very well. when deadlines are near and exams are coming up, i will just locked myself in my room and study. it sounds gross but that is the sad part of my life, competing with over achievers. i dont even talk to my family much. the only time they will see me is when i go to toilet, bathe and have my meals. this little 4 walled room is like a prison cell for me.

when i realize the distance between us, i will try to get back into their lives again. and sometimes, i have to admit it is just too late. people start to drift away to look for another source of comfort when the current existing one fails. nobody stays at the same spot and waits for something to happen. people move on! well, i guess i have been a pretty fortunate girl because i do have friends who stay by and wait for me. and i know we will definitely go a long way and probably will meet up for tea when our hair turns grey. comforting thought ya.

connecting with people is a skill that i lack in. sometimes i wish i could really open up and give my friends and loved ones a hug and tell them how much i miss them and want them to stay in my life.

have you ever felt the moment when someone stares into your soul and the whole world stop moving?
