ON GOODBYE IPC & DR CHONG, SOUTH PARK & CHEESING, DEEP TRASH, FACEBOOK TAGGING, HUNGER, LOVE, AND SEEING AN OLD FREN WHILE JOGGING
What a long & messy title. But it kinda reflects my mood now hee.
International Politics of Communication paper is finally over todae. It was undoubtedly the toughest paper I had to prepare for. And I was initially quite worried that the words just wont flow when I see the questions. Thankfully, I survived that.
That sorta wrapped up my educational journey with Dr Alan Chong, who sent a very sweet msg/ email to all of us after the exams. Really enjoyed my lessons with him, from Singapore Foreign Policy to The Study of War and finally IPC. What a brilliant & truly personable educator & academic. =) I tot about replying his email, but decided that I ll write a nice card for him after all my papers instead. Would be more personable hee.
Act there's a number of Professors and other staff whom I really wanna write to. Gotta put that on hold 1st tho.
-------
1st time I watch a full episode of South Park todae in Hons room. Haha its like damn trashy and funny la!! I totally love it, and I think i ll try n catch up with every past episode after exams.
Now i think about cheesing whenever i see cats. Heh.
-----
6 of us went Vivocity to lunch at Bosses after IPC paper. The DD Boyz plus Hummer & Ah Mah. Then after that coffee & more trash talking, while busking in the sun (for Daniel & Kelvin Fu). Its quite fascinating the amount of deep trash 6 male chaps can come up with haha. I can so foresee next time when all of us are working, more of such chilling out sessions to come.
Yes, and more cheesing.
------
I finally learn how to tag facebook photos todae heh heh! What a noob. Put up 2 pictures of the cheesing Daniel n Kelvin.
But the best noobie line came from Sean Ler: "Wah, Facebook can automatically recognize the person in the pictures wan ah?"
Haha. Awesome line.
--------
Somehow the trash talking doesnt stop heh. But over dinner it moved to more serious stuff.
I guess its inevitable that when u put PS Hons lads together, they cant help but talk & speculate about politics. heh.
And then on the topic of hunger. Inspired by Dr Chong's email. Had a great chat with Kelvin Fu on this.
Indeed, we must not lose out to the hungry talents from China and India. We need to be even hungrier than anyone! Not just hungry Singaporeans!! But hungry global citizens!!! ("Now, bring me my CHEESE burger!!!!!")
------
As I was riding home, I heard this line over Class 95, on love:
"You can always give without loving, but never love without giving."
Food for thought.
------
To round off this wonderful dae, I went for my customary jog at 1230 am, and so qiao, saw Gerard at a bus stop haha!
Always enjoy talking and learning from him, since the army daes. Someone I respect a lot. =)
------
Ok. End of another fascinating dae for me. With each passing dae i take a step closer to end of exams and graduation. In fact, only 7 exact daes lie between me and my graduation, and most importantly, my leaving from NUS with absolutely no regrets.
Hummer was right when he said to live life with no regrets. I think we have rather similar philosophies in life, although he more lao beng than me heh. Glad to have known this penguin, I mean chap.
