Life ain't the same anymore
I miss school life.
Realised it for the first time when I met Alvin (one of the 6 Alvins whom I know) in Central Forum today. There was a bazaar in Forum! Walking past the same familar stores that sell the familar accessories and to my surprise, the t-shirt cum jeans skirt stall sells Little Miss Tees for only 10 bucks, and 2 for 18 bucks!! (that's besides the pt..) When was the last time I had jalan jalan in a bazaar? How I miss school life in NUS!!!!
Not that I've dropped out of school, but rather I no longer attend classes like I did in the past 3 years.. I miss attending lectures with the rest of the Chem Eng peepz and this sem I am not taking any common modules with the entire cohort since I had already cleared my Design I module in Denmark. Ironically, I used to dread long lecture days, and those days with long breaks in between. But now I am missing them. I miss hanging around on benches or having long lunches in canteen or walking around the bazaars at Central Forum in between lectures. There's less get-together session with my friends from Chem Eng and I've got specially jio them for lunch every now and then whenever I miss them. And the electives I take are together with the graduate students, so few of the other undergrads take them as well. But at least I still see some friends around, like Sharon, Lisa and a few others. Plus, tt doesn't help that I am taking 2 science GEMs this sem, spending half of my time in Science Fac instead. :(
Now that I'm in Year 4, there is more free time in the day for me due to the less number of hours clocked in for lecture and tutorial time overall. But at the same time, I will use my free days to do FYP. FYP is individual and again I'm left alone to do my project and could only say Hi, Bye to friends whom I met in the lab corridor. Although school had already started for a week, I do not feel like a 100% student when I still have to juggle between work and school.
Maybe when work ends I will be able to spend more time hanging around in school and meet up with friends! :)
And Boy... At the same time, I feel old...
Add colours to your life!!
