Once bitten, twice shy
I am not unforgiving, but I am selfish. I do not want to jeopardise my next few months for the impending stress I expect you will give.
This sounds bad, of course, since I am championing for second chances. Everyone makes mistakes, I do acknowledge. But, I am not sure if there have been changes since. I don't want to take chances. Risk-aversion is my principle nowadays. Maybe that's the issue that organisation is trying to tackle as well. It's easy to say "I forgive and forget" but in reality, it's not true. We all bear grudges, that's the hard truth, no matter how saint you are.
I'll try in any case. Maybe I should give you and I another chance, maybe, just maybe, the outcome is completely different from what I forecast.

The beginning of an end
Tomorrow marks the beginning of an end.
As usual, my fear of a new semester is overwhelming - the new classes filled with students from all walks of life with different attitudes, behaviours and habits. How am I going to approach them? What should I say? Will they like me? These are questions that bombard my brain every time.
Of course, as a 21 year-old going 22, I learnt that we can never appease everyone. Somehow or rather, there will be people who like you for who you are, and there will also be those people who never like you regardless of how much you try to be like-able.
Whatever it is, this year is my last year in NUS. I'll make the best out of it and try to enjoy it with my best friends. I don't know what awaits me in my future, so all I wanna do right now, is to be myself, to embrace my life, and work for the better :D

because small things matter

It is a little late when I decide to start this blog, but it was also at this time when I believe that blogging will benefit me in the long run. There have been many instances where my tiny brain was so overwhelmed with thoughts and feelings that it was on the verge of explosion, regardless whether they are positively or negatively charged. Bottled feelings, as most said, aren't exactly healthy. Then I chanced upon several of my friends' (both real and virtual) blogs and realised that it could be a perfect avenue to unleash and reflect upon all these fragments of memory, emotions and thoughts.
My mystery: why do some people choose to display all their unhappiness, anger and frustration externally, and transfer them to the lovely people around. Many a times, a simple smile to the people you communicate with makes the cold world seemed much more live-able. In Singapore, it is difficult to see a smile on one's face, it is even more rare to have one to smile to you. This clearly reflects why she is ranked high in the unhappiness index. I wonder...is it really that demanding for one to give even the slightest smile or warmth to the people around. Perhaps, we are all just too obsessed with personal achievements and plagued by the underlying jealousy and competition in this 'dog-eat-dog' country.
about your site
Flavours of Life will be where I document some of those human mysteries I observe in my surroundings which most choose to ignore. It can be extremely interesting to stop, observe and reflect on them because you may be surprised by the sort of enlightenment one can gather from them. It is also here where I seek mental relaxation as it provides me with an escapism from the harsh reality. I will also use this space to immerse in my obsession for entertainment (Well, I can't quite move away from this since it is one of my main source of virtual happiness)
