Taiwan 2014.

Have yet to transfer the pictures from the camera to the laptop yet, but decided to just post some photos from the trip taken using the iPhone ;) (Am pretty satisfied with the phone's camera actually!)

Anyway, I wasn't expecting myself to travel to Taiwan in 2014 actually. I kind of wanted a "break" from TW because I have been traveling there yearly for the past four years consecutively. But anyway, this trip marks my sixth visit to Taiwan and really - no regrets over this decision because I super duper love the place! Each time I visit TW, there seems to be something new or somehow it just feels different. Even the sense of familiarity makes me feel excited!

We flew SIA this time thanks to the sister's krisflyer miles :) Arrived in Taiwan before noon, the driver picked us up and sent us to Westgate. It's a fairly new (or at least revamped) hotel or something if I'm not wrong. Love how comfortable and chic the room was! (Y) Checked in, settled down for a short while and off we went, exploring XMD as well as SOGO. Second day was spent exploring Xinbeitou and Shihlin! (As you can tell, I'm being extremely lazy with this post HAHA, because most of the photos captured are still in the SD card :p )

Travelled out of Taipei via the high-speed rail (HSR) to Taichung and had a 1-night stay at Cingjing :) SUPER COLDDDD, it was like 6 degrees celcius by the evening and trust me, when the wind came - it totally didn't even feel like 6 degrees! Brrrrr. But nonetheless, the view and scenery there made up for the cold we were 'suffering' from :) Super super picturesque! Preston was in a pretty good mood the next morning so that explains the nice selfie ;p I'm always commenting about how mischievous and naughty he is to my friends but okaaayyyyy, he's really cute when he's out of his ultra-naughty mode lah.

Before heading back to Taipei from Taichung, we visited a few scenic places that totally did not resemble Taiwan at all!! Moncoeur was one of them and the other was 新社花园古堡. Made us feel like we were in Europe, the architecture was amazing! I'm so going to include it into my TW itinerary the next time :) We went to Jiufen and Shifen this time too, seems like it's always part of my "taiwan itinerary" every time I'm there. It's a little troublesome (just a litttttle) to travel to those two places from Taipei but I never skip those places every time, hahaha. My love for rustic places.

I have been sending a list of places to visit to my friends, so if any of you guys are intending to visit Taiwan, feel free to get the list from me so as to discover a few more places around! :)

So there, done with the post about TW in an ultimate lazy-bug mode x

Two weeks into 2014.

X 

It's already the 16th day of 2014, and I have been extremely busy (yet lazy at the same time) - but a very HAPPY NEW YEAR to all out there!! :)

2014 have been awesome so far, I have been in and out of SG, traveling to Taiwan and Bangkok in these two weeks. And I am finally back now, no more traveling till at least mid-year! Time to hit the books and enjoy the last semester :) It's definitely a first for me - Taiwan for 7 days, then back to SG for about 2 days and then off I go to Bangkok for another 4 days. As much as I really do love traveling, this is pretty tiring somehow!

I'll take some time to post pictures from both trips but right now, I'm just gonna focus on getting myself back on track, mentally as well. I need to step out of this relaxed/nua/wanderlust/chill younameit mode and get ready to face things like lectures, projects, submissions, tests and exams. Haha. It's going to be a very good year ahead, I CAN FEEEEL IT (heh, I hope it really will be!).

It's good to always set your new year's resolutions isn't it. Although I think most of our resolutions either get broken or unfulfilled actually..hahaha. BUT, it never kills to have a certain direction / goal / aim set for ourselves :)
In 2014 :
1) I hope to be able to get out of my all-time lazy underachiever mode and do well HAHA, which means to be more disciplined, determined and focused in all aspects.
2) Spend more time with my family and close friends (less work scheduled).
3) Read more.
4) Save more moolah. And
5) Good deeds.

I know "Good deeds" probably sound corny and lame but having been to so many places these years, I really do notice a difference in the way people treat one another (whether they're strangers, acquaintances, friends or even family). It does not have to be major big acts of kindness that will gather or be of any worth in terms of media attention etc but small acts of kindness or a simple gesture that may help another person in any way would be good enough. Things like holding the door for others, giving up seats, helping someone struggling with a heavy load, respecting and acknowledging people and the list goes on. Small acts of kindness like these probably aren't gonna be phenomenal or transformative but that's okay, because most importantly - IT SPREADS.
I just super love how Taiwanese are so warm and helpful :') Just a simple story to share, here goes: I was on the bus from Jiufen down back to Ruifang train station, there were two seats left at the last row so I sat down. 1 minute later, a Korean granny came towards the row so I moved in, making it easier for her to just sit down instead of having to squeeze her way through to get to the last seat by the window. And in less than just 15 seconds, her husband came up so I called her "Haelmoni" (Grandma in korean) and sign-language'd my way through after that to let her husband take my seat. They thanked me and said "Mi-an" (sorry) because I was having 3 big bags of (almost overflowing) goods with me and I had to stand for the bus ride down the hill now. But anyway, so I was standing near a Taiwanese couple, (about perhaps late 40s-50ish years old) who were seated down, and the lady just reached out to one of the big bags and placed it on her lap. WITHOUT EVEN ASKING! I was a little startled initially because I wasn't really looking at them and suddenly a pair of hands just removed a bag from my hands. I told her it's okay but she kept saying the bags are all too heavy for me and that it is alright she doesn't mind. :') SIGH. Yes, so you see - small acts of kindness :)

Gotta run some errands now! Till the next time X

Last official school holidays.

I realized that this set of holidays that I'm having now will officially be the last set of "School Holidays" of my life. With one last semester to go, I'll complete my studies at SIM-RMIT by mid-year 2014. It's scary how fast time flies. Back then during primary/secondary school days, I'd never thought about how fast/soon I'd face graduation etc. Graduating from a university seemed like a life event that was going to take quite a while more and so on. And today, as I'm typing this, I am just one last semester away from that event. Can time just slow down a little bit please!

Anyway, exams are over. Not too sure and confident bout the last paper (yikes) but oh well, no point brooding over it now :) Staring at my planner, I realise that November is somehow going to be very packed, unknowingly. The number of events/gatherings/meet-ups (and work) have all slotted themselves nicely in every available date for this month. No idea how that happened, but I'm looking forward to everything that's gonna take place :) Yes, even work! Haha. I haven't been working for the past say, 1.5 months?! I kinda miss the people and the ambience.

Speaking of work, my friends and I are at this stage where we're all talking about our future in every conversation that we hold. Where are you going to work at? What do you want to work as? What industry? What field? What are you planning to try? All these questions, gosh. I am so afraid of them right now. But I've decided to take some (more) time to think about it before deciding. Can I be a sloth till I travel to Korea with Steph in Sept?

On a lighter note, I've been heading out for the past few days! Gene's birthday celebration w Glenda at W.39, Mad Garlic with the second sister, The Tiramisu Hero + Windowsill in the Woods with the uni babes, Itacho for the eldest sister's birthday celebration. Updates through pictures:

To a good month ahead, x.

Bella's twentyfirst.

Great Saturday spent with the lovely sisters as well as the guys at Treehouse Villa for Bella's 21st birthday party yesterday :) 

The cute birthday girl x her monochrome-themed cake (major yums by the way!)

We love you Bella! (Missing Cheryl, Jenna and Meixuan)

We spent about half an hour singing since Youngyee had his guitar with him. It was a really nice feeling, we just start singing whenever he plays a song, or rather, whoever who knows the lyrics will just sing along. And then we try to harmonise and all. Sigh! All the good old days of performing on different stages (whether locally or overseas), learning of songs, taking note of the dynamics, etc. I do miss them all! Choral music was such a huge huge huge part of our lives back then! And choral music brought such awesome people into my life. :) 

Can't wait to meet the sisters more regularly. We're going to try have monthly meet-ups, finally! :) 

Just a short update because I'm taking a break from studying. Lazy me. Using the thunderstorm as an excuse, "it's too noisyyy", opps. 

For? | Absolute randomness.

“For, after all, you do grow up, you do outgrow your ideals, which turn to dust and ashes, which are shattered into fragments; and if you have no other life, you just have to build one up out of these fragments. And all the time your soul is craving and longing for something else. And in vain does the dreamer rummage about in his old dreams, raking them over as though they were a heap of cinders, looking in these cinders for some spark, however tiny, to fan it into a flame so as to warm his chilled blood by it and revive in it all that he held so dear before, all that touched his heart, that made his blood course through his veins, that drew tears from his eyes, and that so splendidly deceived him!” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

For as long as I can remember, my favorite month is October.
For no apparent reason actually, I just like the month. Wondering now if it's because the word looks nice to me, or because it's one of my closest girlfriend's birthday month, or because it's nearing the end of a school term, or maybe it's because it's officially Autumn (not like we experience it in SG, but oh well, I like autumn anyway), or because I just grew up having a liking towards it for no obvious reason really. Whatever it is, it's comforting (?) that it's October again.

For the past few days, I have been talking to a dear friend who is currently in Germany. Really sweet of her to send me links of my favorite yonghwa GIF images as a form of motivation and support via iMessage. And when I'm on Skype, "how has your day been?", "-another yonghwa GIF link-" and "how are you?" etc. greets me without fail. Followed by things like "eat well", "rest alot", "sleep well" and similar lines of concern. She may be younger but I've stopped viewing her as a "junior" ever since we had a good heart-to-heart talk about many things in life (others would just regard it as 'cheam' conversation topics) at Ramen Play about 2 months ago. I'd never forget how that conversation we shared changed a few perspectives of mine, as well as how I suddenly felt so "young" in front of her. It was as if I was the younger one suddenly. But nevertheless, I am thankful for a friend who genuinely cares, albeit being 6000 miles away :)

For a thinker like me, I can't help or control myself in terms of the amount of things that flood my mind constantly. I wouldn't say I'm a pessimist by nature (though there were a few occasions whereby I do suspect that I may be one), but I definitely know where to draw the line, well, most of the time from drowning in thoughts and from entering my world of silence or being in a state of solitude. Growing up has taught and highlighted to me many things about myself actually.
For example, I used to be annoyingly noisy; squealing or even screaming at the littlest things, a true blue chatterbox in primary school days etc, but as time passes and as I grow up, I began to learn to truly enjoy and appreciate me-time, reading, talking about things that would be deemed too profound and deep for a teenager/young adult (of course, with a person of the same wavelength and frequency), develop an absolute dislike for people who spends all day gossiping about others as well as people who talks without thinking. I was handed a title and role as a student leader, with heavy responsibilities on my shoulders, with many pairs of eyes watching my moves, I learnt to deal and handle things with proper thought processes, sensitivity as well as to make decisions that may not be popular, but right. And yes, I learnt to enjoy silence too. Anyway. Now that I think about all these, I wouldn't really regard this quiet and somber demeanor as being "emo" or anything along that line. I just think that we have more empathy and that we're good as listeners for our friends etc. Point to note - I'm not anti-social, I'm just more careful about who I become chummy with. Sometimes, I wish everyone around me goes through the same thinking process as I do, so that it won't be difficult to express my thoughts and people will just understand exactly what it is that I'm feeling. But of course, I have to count my blessings, despite sounding like a person who is so difficult to live with right now haha. I am thankful for having friends around me who tries to understand or at least, be there for (and with) me. Though I secretly wish that in that list of friends, Mr Tng would still exist. 

For about nearly two weeks now, I have been thinking about the old friend a lot, more than usual. Someone who would always nag and remind me how blessed I am to be surrounded by people like him. Although it sounds like a self-compliment in an egoistic way, haha. But for us, his friends, we know it's absolutely true. And although it's been more than a year now since he's gone, I still can't seem to come to terms with it sometimes. Every now and then, I would scroll through my messages to locate his name, realizing that each time - I'm scrolling a little further/more. Maybe this is one reason why I'm not that eager and bent on upgrading my mobile set to the 5S (besides the fact that it's OOS), because I wouldn't be able to locate the messages anymore. There's a folder on my desktop of pictures that we took together. Because I think it's scary if there's ever gonna be this day where I wake up to find only blurred images of you in my head. So, it's a just-in-case thing. But so far, I haven't opened that folder with the intention of trying to piece back the images of your face, everything's still clear now. *Beams*

No idea why and how I've gotten into this kind of absolute random writing mode tonight, I'm supposed to be mugging!! But it's good I guess :) It's been long since I've last poured out so many things, hehe.

On a lighter note, I attended the recent POP! Was so so happy to see the boys! Congratulations dear friends! :) :)

This month has been treating me rather alright so far! Hoping that it only gets better ;) Meeting Crystal and meimei tomorrow, yay! :)

Ok, back to the books! 

soulbuddy.

One of my favourite months of the year is finally here again! It had been a hectic September and I'm glad it's over now :) Projects are all finally completed *screams*, thank goodness. Almost went crazy this semester cos of the work load! I never thought that we'd be able to even complete them all ahead of time, and hence am super thankful for having the best mate with me in this :')

Anyway, I finally met my soulbuddy for a proper meet-up as well as a birthday brunch date with her! Days with her are always so so so good, where we can really just speak our mind and know that no matter what happens, we'll have each other's back. Being such an eccentric pair of buds, we totally speak the same language and it's amazing how she never fails to comprehend the exact thoughts that I have in my head.

We headed to Symmetry for our brunch date! Such a rustic and fantastic place, we love itttt! The overall ambience made us feel so comfortable and we were so captivated by everything that was going on!

Hope you like the gifts dearie! :* 

Met soulbuddy again a couple of days later for our hair appointment with Elizabeth :) It has been so long since I last visited Elizabeth! Thank goodness my hair was still pretty manageable for the past 3 months and that the situation with split ends was getting better already (Y) Anyway, we chopped several inches of our hair off! Yayness  - happy us with the new hair length!

Exams are coming up! May everything be smooth-sailing *crosses fingers*!

On a sidenote, me is going to Bangkok in January again!! HAAAPPPINEEESSS :p

"Everybody has a secret world inside them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe." — Neil Gaiman, The Sandman

So I've gotten a little lazy these days, or perhaps I could use the word "busy". Have always wanted to update this space but it's always so difficult to pen down all the thoughts swimming in the mind.

Is there such a thing as quarter-life crisis? That's what I told two of my friends a week ago. If it does mean feeling lost, being kinda directionless about the future and so on, then I think I'm going through it. Haha! The world is so so so damn big, there are many things that intrigue me and I can't figure out what will be the one thing that will keep me glued to it eventually. I guess this is how life is - you always have to wander around, explore and figure things out yourself. And for now, I will keep doing so. Until I find that amazing something that will bring upon changes in my life :)

And all the thoughts in my head, they constantly flood my mind and sometimes I dislike the fact that I over-think, causing myself to lose focus or lose sleep. But then again, after some (gosh, more) thoughts, I figured that these thoughts keep me alive. I'm born a thinker, and I shall proudly accept the fact. There are friends who wonder why I just LOVE to think about things, telling me 'don't think so much' etc. But the thing is, sometimes there are things in life that we simply can't control - and in my case, it's thinking. And telling me not to think so much is like telling me to change a huge part of myself, which I don't think I want to because I'm pretty much used to how I function and how I am as an individual. Thinking keeps me sane. Although sometimes things get pretty complicated and that sucks because I don't have a habit of ranting that much and also because I feel that it's different when we try to voice out our thoughts - the meaning just somehow turns out differently. It's so difficult to put them into words to let somebody truly understand them. But I'm thankful that I have a number of close friends who do comprehend with what I try to tell them each time :')

All things happen for a reason. And to a certain extent, I will keep believing in that saying.

Staying true to myself, x

Wanderlust.

Back from the land of smiles! And probably the last trip of twenty thirteen.

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” Terry Pratchett

Falling in love with Bangkok a little more and more each time.

food for thought.

x 

Change is the law of life. Every situation in your life, whether it’s good or bad, will certainly change and if you focus only on what’s happening, you will miss the biggest part of your life. The only thing that never changes is you. Just your thoughts change, not you. Because every different situation affects your thoughts and your way of thinking. When the world around you changes, it also changes your way to look at life. This is where you really need to focus.   

You can not control what’s happening in the world. But you can surely control what happens to your mind. Don’t let the world change your thoughts. Rather, change your thoughts yourself to be the best version of yourself. If you focus on bad things in your life, you will forget the good things coming in. 

The best way to live your life in a world which is constantly changing is by believing that everything will change one day. So if your time is going good, enjoy it right now and if your time is going bad, don’t forget that it will end. Your happiness doesn’t depend on the situations of your life, but on the way you take it. 

And here comes August, time flies. It's no longer just a 'National-day-month'.

July in a glance.

July is coming to an end! And I am kinda feeling relieved, maybe a little hopeful too. After one whole year, I am finally going to work lesser per week :) Hoping that this would give me a good amount of time to deal with school, spend more time w family and friends and of course, some important me-time. And August shall be a good month, hopefully! Am going to Bangkok for a short 3-days trip with the sister! May there be good loots :P

July practically flew by, I can't really recall what I did in the entire month. But am just going to update through pictures captured :) Attended Joey's 21st at Hungry Chimps! Really loved the setting and decorations done at the venue!!! (Y)

And there, the cheery birthday girl :) 

with a beautiful cake! 

Stay happy and warm always my noey!! x

Finally materialized the plan to meet up at Garden Slug with Diana this month! :) It's still our all-time fav restaurant. This place is a gem in the East and we love how cosy, unpretentious and awesome it is! Really miss the times we were busy with our duties and responsibilities while we were in Admin & Venue of the DND Comm :') We shared our fav mash potato (REAL GOOD MASH), and she had smoked salmon pasta while I went for the shrimp and roast pumpkin pasta thanks to her recommendation.

--
A week back, I attended Zixiang's commissioning ball held at The Jewel Box! :) It was a good catch-up session and I met a Polyforum friend there too, and turns out we were seated at the same table! Talk about coincidences. Don't have much pictures from the event as it's with his friend (who is also the PF friend I mentioned), opps! But all in all, it was a pretty great event; thanks for the invite (Y)

--
Spent the previous week meeting up with darling old friends :) MS + Gina! Really miss the 4 of the MS girls who are overseas, but am glad we had a full attendance still, in terms of girls who were stuck in SG :) Meeting up with MS never fails to make my day better, words may not even be apt enough to express how thankful I am to have this bunch of sisters. Anddddd on Friday! I met up with Gina :) Like-a-finallyyyyyy!!! I've known this girl for 15 years now, how time flies. Thinking back, we were all still so young omg. 6 year-olds hanging out with each other daily :') We don't even meet up often, and it's really amazing (and i love it) that we can talk and laugh just like the old times. Cheers to friendship xoxo!

Thankful for fantastic meet-ups with friends, thankful for a peaceful July.


Meeting the canadian, HAHA I mean Diana, again tomorrow :) Can't wait can't wait! Am going to bring her to Nam Nam to nom nom hahaha! :)

Till then.

Sem 3!

Hello wello jello! Done with half of the visiting lectures, it feels great going back to school! I really miss school life a lot omg. As much as I can't believe I'm saying this but yes - I do enjoy school ;) Take a break from work and just focus on my studies. Not that I'm leaving work, just that I'm going to work lesser. Haha, I can hear the applauds and cheers from my close friends because of this already, not to forget my family of course.

Some pictures to summarize my first three days of school this week! 

Just a short update. Last year of uni life to go! :>

“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.” - C. Joybell C.

Taipei 2013 w PF!

It's been almost 2 weeks since my return from Taipei! Third consecutive year of going to Taipei during april-june period :) Weather was the hottest I've ever experienced there so far, almost the same as Singapore's. But we're still super glad to have booked the trip back in March! Don't know if it's luck or fate or what (haha), but we totally avoided the horrendous haze! Thank goodness! :)

We reached TPE at about 6am and it was way toooooo early for our check-in at Taipei York, so we left our luggages with them in their store area. We got approached by a driver who could bring us around to tour places that were slightly a distance away from the city, he quoted us 600NT (approx SGD26) per person and we felt it was pretty reasonable cos we requested to go to JingTong, Shifen, Jiufen and Keelung.
Jing Tong is one of the filming sites of a popular Taiwan movie last year - You are the Apple of my eye. Heheh, being fans of the movie, how could we not visit this place!! :p

Instead of writing wishes/well-wishes on a sky lantern, people here would write it on a bamboo, and could either hang it along the fences, or throw it up onto wires above the tracks etc.

Shifen was up next, played w old-school fire crackers, released sky lanterns and omg one of the most exciting and exhilarating part of the trip - we rented scooters and rode around Shifen! We rented it for 1.5hours, rode it to view the famous waterfall, and spent the remaining 45 minutes exploring this little town on the scooter!

We then headed to Jiufen, spent about an hour or two buying lots of local goodies back for our family/friends :) So thankful that we decided to travel around on the first day with chartered transport. Can't imagine how we were going to lug everything around for the rest of the day!! Last stop was to Keelung! But we didn't really take many pictures as we were too hungry and tired due to only having 2-3 hours of sleep on the plane. Weird, but after returning to Taipei York, the girls decided to hunt for a supper place at XMD. After all these years, I finally stepped into Fish House!! Was so attracted by the seats as they're actually swings!!!! Heeh, happy me.

We totally KO'ed and didn't even wake up early for breakfast the next day! Love our room too much :p
Visited a risotto restaurant w a famous golden retriever as their mascot, food was alright, we all thought the risotto could have been better.

Check out our phone stack! Thanks to G, "strictly no phones, no social media etc during meals!" HAHA.

Travelled to Danshui after our meal! Played lots of old school games as well! It's still one of my favourite places in Taipei :) I don't really know how to explain it but I just love how rustic the place is, full of nostalgia. Took a ferry to Dan Shui Ma Tou (pier) towards the evening to catch the sunset :)

I really love the last two shots very much :') Major love for such beautiful sunset! We were really just sitting there enjoying the sunset, the peace and serenity....UNTIL i-forgot-who SAID "who's up for FUN RUN?!" And a few seconds later, all 7 of us were playing Fun Run on our phones -.- So much for being romantic and all HAHA. After a few rounds of fun run, we left Dan Shui and went to ShiLin. We were there mainly to eat and to hunt for shoes because a few of us didn't bring shoes for clubbing hahaha. Surprisingly, we really didn't buy anything else like clothes or accessories! In fact, for the whole Taipei trip, I came back with ZERO new apparels and accessories, surprise surpriseee!

The next day was spent visiting Taipei 101, then heading to SOGO! It's totally our favourite shopping mall :) We spent so many hours....just at the first level - Cosmetics. Check out our haul! I must really praise the guys for their patience HAHA. Not once did they hurry us and pull us away from the counters. They just left us at the area and went to browse around etc. If I'm not wrong, I think we spent close to 2-2.5 hours just at the first level shopping for make-up. #girls ;) Our plan was to head to Raohe for dinner actually, but due to time constraints, we went back to XMD for dinner and then returned to Taipei York to get ready to visit the club. We chose Club Lava, a little disappointing cos we were expecting a really large crowd, but we still had fun! :)

Had all-you-can-eat steamboat at XMD for about 2 hours, then we returned to our rooms because of bad weather (okay, and because we were all too tired + there were two suffering from hangover from the previous night hahaha). We totally nua'ed in the room, watched movies all the way till 7+pm! I know we're supposed to make full use of our time while we're overseas, but I guess relaxing and nua'ing are definitely part of traveling too; a getaway trip haha. Headed to Shi Da Night Market but it was kinda bad cos they actually closed half the market due to residential issues! So we came back empty-handed after all the window shopping, their trend was abit different from ours anyway. At about 1am, we decided to leave the hotel again to visit the 24hr Eslite Bookstore :) So glad we made this decision because we all bought books! HAHA. Spent a good 2 hours there browsing different genres of books.

The trip came to an end in the blink of an eye. It was a well-spent 5 days with them as we managed to catch up with one another, have fun and enjoy the company :) Super love this bunch of spontaneous friends! We're all kinda different, yet kinda similar. Have learnt a lot from all 6 individuals and managed to sort out some thoughts during this trip as well. So thankful for them :) With Jackyboy enlisting soon, we can't really travel as a group anymore for the next 2 years but I'm sure the girls will do a BKK trip sometime next year again. Love y'all velly much!

School's starting soon! Can't wait to return to school, miss my uni babes already! :) One last year of school, note to self: stop working so much and just enjoy being a young (student) adult.
