the paper on the 22nd marked the official end of my being of a year 3 student.

it's time to welcome my final year and fyp.

kinda sucks to end year 3 so badly though.

worst performance for a paper for the longest time.

like really bad bad.

rarh.

but ah well tgif =)

had a great time with my bolstie again =)

sometimes just a single sentence is enough to kill your mood.

don't you think.

sometimes i just don't know why i'm trying so hard.

one of the biggest reasons why i love ese:

we learn together.

we study together

we learn together

we help each other out

we share possible solutions/reasons/summaries of modules with each other

and you know they're to help you unconditionally.

its amazing how everything and everyone's just so genuine.

no ulterior motive, no selfishness, nothing.

it's something that's difficult to find these days.

this is so random but...

exactly 2 months from this date marks the end of my internship.

by then, almost everything i've known my life to be like these couple of months would have ended.

end of IA

end of jurong island-ing

end of hall life

end of the endless activities

end of year 3

almost the end of my last supposed 3 month break.

hello fyp

hello graduation

hello jobsearching

and then it's hello working life.

doesn't time just pass you by

in the blink of an eye

i never knew leaving KR would feel like this.

despite being so burnt out for the last year or so.

despite becoming more disconnected from hall than usual because of my many other commitments.

despite telling myself that leaving a year earlier than expected would ultimately be a good transition period from full time hall to full time student and finally to full time worker for the future.

standing on the stage, behind that oh so familiar curtain, knowing that this was your one and only - very last performance to KR,

the feeling was overwhelming.

the place which has given me so many ups and downs.

the place which taught me to love (literally, when i found you)

the place which has given me the most precious of memories

the place which has given me the best and worst of friendships

the place which made me grow into a stronger person.

the place which i've spent 3 years of my life being more of a hall person than a student.

i guess sometimes saying goodbye isn't easy.

i'll appreciate the memories, the friendships the love that KR has showered upon to me.

oh and the money too.

after being presented with the Lee Soon Ann Outstanding Scholarly Progress Award.

i can't wait to see my name on the plaque in the mpsh (probably cos i never really took note of its existence until now, so i'm still kind of intrigued)

ah well,

but yes, my time here is up. and it's time to give this chance of experiencing and growing from the KR life to someone new.

whoever you are, i hope you will seize the opportunities and make the most out of your stay here in KR.

so there it is. another phase of my life passing me by.

thank you KR!

love,

kimberley

this is not how i wanted my internship to be.
sigh.
screw it. =(

sometimes i wish i didn't have a driving license

nan guo de yi tian jiu shi nan guo de yi tian.

zhe shi jie shang shi mei you zhen zheng kai xin de shi.

今天又是很难过
今天特别难过

and so, a year later, here we are again =)

it's a pretty surreal feeling.
amazing but true.

ta-da! the barrage simulation

sweeter than ever fruits
and our toasted hazelnut blum.

yeah! love ya =)

it looks and smells like it's gonna rain =(
pls pls pls let it not rain today =(

a cute little story for all:

Today i saw this cute old couple walking up a hill.

The husband looked at the wife and said, "Race you!" They both started running as fast as they could. When the husband realized he was winning, he stopped and pretended to tie his shoe so his wife could win. He even got a kiss for it.

Love, no matter the age, GMH!

this is sooo sweet.
maybe someday we'll be doing that too.
happy 15th mth dear =)

everytime i see the fire coming from the island near me...
my heart drops.
i just want the best for you.

haha and over dinner today...

and it's an early 15th month celebration =D
15th out of the many more to come <3

今天很难过
昨天也是很难过
明天也是会很难过
天天都很难过

and i think a part of me just died when i heard that

i have no motivation to graduate anymore.
there's just nothing to look forward to anymore.
no reason to work to hard.
to choing my studies anymore.
there's nothing at the finish line.
nothing i want waiting for me anymore.

i don't want to go there just because everyone's going there.

i want to go there because i've always dreamt of doing it.
to graduate from a university, take a couple of weeks and backpack europe.
backpack europe.
sounds silly but
i already wanted that even before i entered university

i'm not angry. i'm not anything.
it's just a little hard when this is something i've dreamt of for like half my life.
i just need a little space. a little time.

now everything just feels kind of.
empty.

it's amazing how it makes my day just seeing you smile into the screen =)
<3

hey apple.

hey apple.

hey apple.

NOTHING!

HAHAHAHAHAA

hey apple.

hey apple.

hey apple.

HAHAHAHA i'm sooo addicted to annoying orange.

its so irritatingly funny.

and funnily irritating

and irritatingly funny.

and funnily irritating.

hahahahahaha OMG.

in the unfamiliar crowd, you're the only face i wanna see.

after a day at work,

seeing you just for that 5 minutes or so

feels like the best thing in the world =)

that look on your face

and that warm embrace

makes everything feel better again

i could live in this forever =)

hehe yeah! another great day with you! =D

alice in wonderland is not too bad! pretty good! =)

but if i were a kid, i'd cry after watching it.

all the pretty and cute little characters in that fairytale land that you're been reading about

all suddenly transformed into evil looking creatures with morbid scenes of alice in the wonderland

total nightmare for the kids (hence the very important PG sign)

haha anyway I still wanna get the cute forever friends bear mug =D

when i see it wahaha =p

ps: i hate e-learning week haha =(
