Yea, kinda cool to come back home n have great food of hometown AGAIN! A bowl of Hokkien Mee is already enough to make me feel great at home.
Family is always as nice as it is.
The house that I have been living for 23 years, is still as familiar as it is. Every furniture, every switches, every appliances remain so familiar to me. Perhaps, that's the feeling of HOME.
Another best thing is I can online using this computer. WOW!
Ok. Let's enjoy the pics below once more time. Do click it to enlarge so that you can see the handsome pic clearer. HaHA!

Yaaawwwnnn
Ha... I am back to yehuai.blogspot.com AGAIN. I was about to start reading notes on Singapore Architecture : History,Culture & Socio-Economic Perspective. Then, I'm distractted (attracted) by MSN message. Ok. He offline very soon after some short chat. So, I was ABOUT to start reading notes again. My mouth started to exercise its muscle before my eyes could focus on the notes. Yaaaawwwnnnn.... Ha, I think I should seriously start reading. When I was ABOUT to.... (OK, I know you'll think: AGAIN!? wat's this fella gonna write about? ) Ha... and I am here writing this short paragraph. To my amaze, I don't YAWN when I typing. Hmm... architecture, why the subject becomes so boring!? Is it because it is restricted to Singapore alone (not much architecture forms can be observed)? OR, is it because of those heavy words : History,Culture & Socio-Economic Perspective? Well, I think I seriously need to start reading now. FOCUS! :)

Second Day of School Reopening
After resting for about a month at home, I am back here to NTU again. The one month holiday has given me sufficient rest after going through a very hectic semester half a year ago. During the holidays, I was able to do so much of other activities which I find myself enjoyable. Undoubtly, I do manage to explore them, which through out the process, am able to acquire a different experience!
However, I am worried of this coming semester as I would be back to the normal routine of rushing for deadlines after deadlines. I would be back to the engineering world where the professors speak specific technical language that most of us do not understand, yet need to memorize. I would be back to the hectic uni life where there're piles of stuff for me to do. Though I may over-state the situation, nevertheless, I am really nervous about it. Striking a balance, I am still trying my best. And, that is and will be my way of life as I re-state it over here. (Hmm, Writing blog is a way of talking to inner-self)

Devastated in Exam!
Completely devastated! I could not believe myself of going through exam in such a horrific way. From the start, I was not sure of the solutions I did. The fear of uncertainty continued to loom large upon me. It increased to an extent which I could feel my heart beat pounding so loudly. It pushed me to a very high level of stress. My mind was not with me anymore. It either wandered off or intimidated by the fear of uncertainty.
The concept supposed to be right. But the solutions seemed ‘weird’. Hence, confident level went down. This was when the disaster happened.
After experience through it, I knew something was wrong with my thinking method. I am so used to seeing a typical style of question that sound solution is more prioritized than concept. Though I understand stuff through concept, I placed more emphasis on neat, presentable solution while attending exam questions. This made me devastated! I relied too much on REPRODUCTION of solution. Intuition and common sense were downplayed to a dangerous extent that was too costly for me to ignore.
In fact, I am so weak in facing the unknowns, the uncertainties. The thinking process is heading towards dead ends. Oh, wake up, mind!

Bicycle Ride
I was about to write some of my thoughts in past few days. However, I was occupied with exam preparation till I did not spare myself time to write them down.
In past few days, the most precious experience would be riding bicycle. It was to be an escape from the studious exam preparation. At first, I routinely rode bike down the slope of my hall. At that moment, I realized how routine I was. So, I abandoned the routine path, abandoned the feeling of "feelingless" in taking the routine path. I let the heart to decide where I want to go. Then, it led me to places where I never go. It led me to places where I had nicer experience. There were high slopes and hills which I hesitated to ride up. However, the depressed energy within me signaled me to go by its ways, to release it. The down slope sliding experience was great. Yet, I guessed I did not fully savour it. My bike’s break wasn’t functioning very well. Thus, I was cautious about it. It took away my guts to enjoy the sliding experience to the fullest. Besides, I went to places which made me felt eerie. I heard sound of… wind blowing? However, it mixed with voice produced by throats. Was that illusion of the frightened self? I did not know. But, I didn’t stay at that place for long. Next time, I should try to stay over that place and experience through it by meditating.
After enjoying this ride, I realized the happiness of going anywhere without purpose. Then, every scene becomes enjoyable. Without destination, every path becomes destination. Further more, we could see more than what we wanted to see. After that, I made a little wish to myself: I want to travel with a bike when I visit other places.

Birthday!?
Ha~ it is a coincident that I started blogging a day before my birthday. I am not someone who is so anxious towards birthday. I thought I could lead my birthday peacefully, even without any celebration.
Just few hours before 12am (wonder why birthday greetings and celebration must be done at that time), my girlfriend was with me. We were preparing for exam… what a date har? I was just doing my stuff like any other days. When it was almost 12am, my girlfriend wondered why the greetings didn’t come yet. It kept me wondering too. Hmm, I felt the little surge of desire from the bottom of my heart, that I do hope to receive some greetings? weird… as I thought I am not anxious about it. After having this little sense, I again telling myself not to anticipate anything. You know… the more you anticipate, the more you will be despaired.
“Happy Birthday to You… Happy Birthday to You… “ the somehow familiar song came from outside. At first, I could not believe it. Then, I wonder who were behind the door. Finally, my friends, Nam, Jen, GeokTeng appeared! Ha~ it was quite unexpected. I loved the feeling of being surprised. With the birthday song, the simple meaning of friendship touched my heart. I am indeed grateful for this simple act. It is simply sweet in the heart. It is a kind of sweetness that would not exhaust your feeling, and will always last for longer time. Again, a grateful thank to these people who spend their time at the most “kan cheong” hours. People said: a true friend is easily found amongst drunkard, gambler, more precisely those from lower class of society. But, I still could see the simple meaning of friendship being reflected amongst educated people.
Not the least, hihi~~ a name must be mentioned – Junnie, thanks for her peanut as birthday “cake” =P
