i still have a blog

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

I almost forgot that I still had a blog until yusheng asked me why is it dead for long. Haha. One reason why I stopped updating is because most of my friends had stopped blogging, and I no longer visit blog so often. Naturally, I begin to forget the existence of my blog. Okay, I promise to update more often, though new photos are usually uploaded to facebook more quickly.

5 more weeks to the end of the semester. Life isn't all that smooth-sailing, and I did horribly badly for my statistics course. Damn it. I also have not been doing much research. And the most important thing of all: I need to re-evaluate my life goals and think of what i really want to do in my life.

One good thing about living overseas again for me is that besides realising the things that matter more to me, and who are the people that matter, I often also relieved my experience back in France. Back in Singapore, I hardly ever think of the days when I was an exchange student. But when i'm here, I'm often reminded of things that happened back then. Now that I stay in an off-campus apartment, I really start to appreciate the nice neighbours I have in France like Violaine and Marine, who made my life so much better then. I remembered telling someone that I have 400++ friends on my facebook, and if I talk to one everyday, one year will have passed quickly! I didn't keep in contact with many close friends after leaving, but I promise to do so after this posting this entry.

Of course, a few times, I also wake up in the morning(freezing cold usually because I never turn on the heater in my room) and wonder why the f*** am I in montreal, a place where I don't even have any friends whom I know for more than a year, where there is no dog greeting me at home? Will I be happier if I have just stayed in my comfort zone? Maybe I'm now happily working in ubisoft sg as a game programmer, and happily squeezing in the packed trains everyday, and getting fined for drinking plain water on the train. That's why it's important for me to keep retelling myself the purpose why I'm here.

Fortunately, montreal is quite a livable city, and it's convenient for me to go to anywhere with the 37CAD metro pass. There are also enough asian restaurants around to satisfy my food cravings. Actually, I believe that living in France has toughened me up quite a bit, and it is so much easier to adjust to life in Montreal after experiencing Condillac!(http://membres.lycos.fr/residencecondillac/accueil.htm). I still remembered how difficult it is to find a public toilet in France, and in Europe in general.

That's enough for today. Shall continue another day.
