i sat on bus 179 this afternoon, returning home.
i realised for once the beauty of the trees along the 179 route,
and how much i missed it because i rather take cab.
suddenly taking bus didn't seem so bad afterall.
and then i realised the pretty flowers on the trees were all gone.
last i recall, trees were glittered with beautiful pink, yellow and light greens..
so we do have a season change too?

as i countdown to my last days in ntu,
i start to cherish more of what i normally overlooked
like doing projects till midnight in sal
like korean food at can 13
like staying long hours in library alone just to study
like japanese food from can A
like being alone in my hall, watch tv, study, then fall asleep.
and even simple things like cleaning the toilet in my room.

3 years, just like that.
what a short, yet long 3 years.
everything that happened seem so much, yet so little.
things that were happy, sad, frustrating, demoralising, encouraging etc etc
most importantly,
very very very reflective.
contrary to what you guys might think,
i think it didn't do THAT much good to me,
to lose what i thought was my most attractive trait
and still in the midst of recovering it.

and yes i gained pretty much a lot things as well,
friends, experiences, wider perspective to many things in life.
i hope friendship we build will never fade
and may good luck still shine upon us
as we embark on our next important journey of our life.
