It was the right thing to do

I can honestly say i am disappointed, at least a little. I mean, it is wonderful to be in a relationship with someone... but

Sometimes there is really too much to consider. I have jumped straight into relationships too fast and it never ended very well at all. Not going to repeat that mistake, if i ever want anything to be done right again. It takes time, and although it would be wonderful....... no . Sometimes you just have to say no, even though you don't want to on the surface. But deep down you know it is the right thing to do.

And... can i imagine being with him for the next year or 2 years? honestly speaking? no, i can't. Do i really want to give up being single? what about my vow to say single for at least 6 months? only 3 months have passed? Not a good idea to just jump into something new.

but ohh, i do feel the pangs of disappoint sting me, yet i know i know i know it is for the best.
Then last night, we had an intenese, deep conversation at about 3 am in the morning. I never have deep intense conversations with many ppl. It was great, and we decided that it was for the best. I mean, if you are both unsure abt if it is a good idea, should you really go for it? This isn't some big entreuepeneural thing, this is real life and emotions. I don;t wat to risk friendships too, i mean , is it really worth it?

Wow. i think i am coming way more mature than i used to be... damn.

note: think before you jump

NYC Awesomeness !!!!!!!!

Ok, writing this from the computers at the jazz hostel...

last day in new york, going to visit the meuseum today. They have this huge exhibit on the horse, so i am going to be a giant sucker for it ( hahaha) Anyway, it is still early and i have the time to do that . My flight to go back leaves at 6pm so i have the whole day.

It has a been a terrifically COOL 2 days!!! a fantastic short getaway from Uof Waterloo which was getting a bit overwhelming to say the least. But being here, being away from it all has been good. Seeing the neon lights of times square and broadway. Only going back at 1 or 2am. SOO FUN. Oh and i saw Equus, BRILLIANT play!!! it is soo deep, dark and textured. Amazing stuff, and ok daniel radcliffe, CAN act! i mean it takes guts to strip in front of an entire audience 8 days a week. Hats of to him for that. Richard griffiths was amazing too. Great acting. Also watched avenue Q, which was TONS better than i expected!!!!! it was sooooo goood!!! and so fun to watch ppl's expression at all the songs !! sesame street for grown ups!! especially if there are songs like " if you were gay" " the internet is so porn" lol I have the soundtrack so i am addicted to the stuff.
Also, last night, me and steph were coming back on the subway, we were waiting for the C train to come, there was this guy who was playing his guitar and singing, a busker only he was freaking awesome!!! sounded really professional. Ppl were really listening, it was like a mini-concert . Then some guys joined in and started singing only he sang really off-key. But the atmosphere was so amazing, so electric like we were one community of strangers joined togehter by this guy's music. PPl started clapping and singing away to it. ALL while waiting for a subway train! i mean this would NEVER EVER happen in singapore would it?

Anyway, this trip has been frigging amazing and i appreciate the short break from school.

SILENCE ! the ninja master speaks

So... where do people in a procrastinating mood do? they blog
Yes i should be reading that god-awful chapter on accounting ( i shouldn['t even pretend it is interesting) I should be reading god-awful german , ( don't you dare HABEN or SIE SIND me) i should be heading the gym /pool to work out, i should be reading pysch ( which i stupidly read the wrong 4 chapters for last niht) i should be checking Mike's bikes.
Instead of being here. But i am here. So there.

Oh and i turned 19 yesterday... My floormates are the best!!!!!!!!

Oh and i should try to bed before 1am. Whenever i leave singapore, the paradigm changes. Oh a good thing! i got into a 300 level Chinese class! ha!!! take that fucking O level non-syllabus B chinese MUAHAHAHAHAH. The text book looked like something i did in primary school. But i hope it is not too difficult. And in Singapore my chinese is considered crap.

- And one more thing, i think i am glad i go to school non populated by singaporeans. You can count on your fingers the singaporeans that i know of. No i don;t go to UBC or SFU or U of T or any of those fricking brand name schools.

But no matter... i had an excellent 19th birthday. I got a cake and a beautiful giant message card. No-one has ever written me something like that in my life so... so touched... Ha! 2 cakes this year compared with O last yr.

I am torn between soo many courses to take next semester, in the end i think i will take speech com 223, i mean i am supposed to take it next yr for public speaking, but why not take it now. Either that or english or women's studies. too many choices and a shitload of reading...
