Mood: beautiful Happiness of the day: The sun is out today! Event of the week: 2 exams this week.
It's always difficult updating the journal during the weekend. Because there's just so much that's happening, so much to do, so much to say...
Chronologically, the first nice thing that happened this weekend was going out for dinner with Shaun. He's just got a bonus, for his work last summer, and he decided to give me and Lynn a treat. But hehe, Lynn was tied down by prior appointment [basically to her boyfriend] and couldn't make it. So of course I made the most of the treat. I was in this really good mood, so I dressed up a little [I bought this beautiful blue skirt online!]. There was an Asian frat party going on that night, and I was contemplating going, since I was already dressed nicely. In the end, I didn't, because while taking an after-dinner stroll on the Quad, we met some friends, and we just stood there chatting. Maybe if I had gone to the party, I would have had a more "happening" friday night. But I guess there's nothing to regret. It was fun spending some quality time with Shaun.
Then Saturday was the day of our AGM, when we elected the new SSA ex-co members. Yes, I have officially stepped down as the treasurer of SSA. As a general comment on the past year of service, I think I did a pretty good job. It felt good, to know the SSA account grew while in my term. Heh. There had been moments of frustrations, but it was all worth it. Now that I'm relieved of my duties to SSA, I'm prepared to run for a position on the KCSA Adboard. I just went for the interview actually, for the position of Tech Director, which should probably provide me with some exposure to the theatre production scene. If I do get it, that is. This guy I know from 2 semesters ago, is also running for Tech Director. I think there're 2 or 3 positions available, so maybe I'll get to work with him. He's a pretty cool funny guy.
This morning, I called home. Chatted with my brother about his play. It'll be showing on the 20th and 21st of July, which means I'll actually get to see it. Which should be interesting.....but if the play sucks, I'll know that it's my fault. Hmm..so maybe I shouldn't see it after all. I talked to my parents, and they were in a really good mood, cos they just came back from the Khoo Association dinner, where my brothers and I all managed to get a scholarship award. My younger brother was even the student's representative, and gave a thank you speech. A few years back, I was the rep, and now it's my brother. I think that made my parents really proud. What I'm excited about, is really the $400 scholarship...maybe it's not much, but hey, better than nothing. Enough for me to shop in Singapore, at least. Heh.
Spring makes me really happy...I don't mope around as much, I don't whine so much. I was just telling Li that day. I think I'm a lucky person...funny thing is, I think I've always been a lucky person, just never really put it into perspective. I'm relatively smart, which makes it a lot easier for me academically, [I do badly mostly because I'm a lazy bum as well.] My parents love me, my brothers sort of love me, my friends sometimes love me. Good enough, good enough. WS emailed me, and asked if I was feeling lonely, because of the last journal entry. I used to, but interestingly, I don't feel it anymore. Romantically, who doesn't want that special someone by her side? But hey, I'd rather be patient and just wait, than get all desperate and destroy everything else that I am thankful for. Gotta look on the bright side! Gotta live! Gotta enjoy the sun while it's out....
