contine with my summer trip, after Italy, our group of ard 9 pple splited ... yanyi + rachel went to switzerland while me n a couple of frenz went Spain - the country I alwae wanted to go ... the country in which fascinate me for a long time ... I wasn't to be disappointed after I finished my trip 6 days after ... 3 cities in 6 days ... beautiful Barcelona with the architecture of Gaudi ... it's a masterpiece ... every building he designed was so fantastic tt one cld just fall in love with his creation ... but pity I oni got 2 days in the beautiful city ... with a nice metro line ... din get to go in to the gigantic, awe-inspiring cathedral Salvador Famili, but it's enuff after all in life it what we have or rather wat we seemed that mattered. anyway after tt we travelled to Sevilla, in Southern Spain ... me n Jayce always argued abt when to pronounced it as seville or sevilla ... both r correct ... one is the english spelling while the other is the spanish spelling ... aniwae who care rite ... it's supposed to be freaking hot ... but i spent the nite shivering out in the cold cuz i din book a hostel ... the train station was closed after midnite n we ended up sleeping out in the cold ... my experience but we weren't complaning cuz we have a nice tapas news ... aniwae by the time I left Barcelona I was rather sure tt my family wasn't successful in sending the $$$... which mean I got less $$$ to spend ... which was a gd ting ... because I alwae spent without any restraint... watched the bull fight n flamengo on the second nite I was in Sevilla ... it's my dream to watch both of them ... chance of a life time ... an intensive evening for me ... when I told a spanish exchange student I wanted to watch a bullfight, she looked quite disgusted ... I donno y den becuz I thot bullfighting was part of a spanish culture ... aniwae everyone the 7 of us were looking forward to catch the bullfight ... as a child ... was rather amazed by the bright clothing worn by the matador n the bravery they inspired ... Jayce was rather looking forward to watching the bullfight ... so he was rather disappointed when he was told that the bull used for the Sunday fight will be young bull and the matador with less than 2 years of experience ... aniwae after touring ard Sevilla and buying lotsa souvenir ... the bullfight was all it was left ... the matador get hurt during the match ... he was a brave matador ... get really closed to the bull ... but he made a mistake n was punished ... got stabbed on the thign ... n the blood was oozing profusely ... after the match i was tinking ... was really tinking abt the pain the bull muz have been feeling ... it was so torture n all becuz everyone wanted to see the matador performed ... but the poor bull was slowly tortured to his death ... mabbe I was a bit selfish when I told my frenzs that bullfighting will b banned soon ... all becuz I have watched it before and I found it rather unjustifiable, cruel n inhumane ... but culture ... gd or bad don change overnite ... old habits die hard. After Sevilla, the last city in Spain would be Madrid ... lotsa shopping malls ... lotsa Zara, the girls juz went crazy ... tink pingting n stella were enjoying themselves shopping ... pingting bought lotsa stuff n she must hav been really glad with her purchase ... tink i bought a couple of stuff for mom as well as for aunt ...

8 July 2004, Thursday - today attended my third commercement ... most of my frenzs were like "complaining" tt they saw me again today ... it's a happy ting seeing all of my frenzs graduating after 3 yrs of study ... they were realli happy n I guessed their family muz b proud to see them finally getting a degree ... took lotsa fotos with all my fellow frenzs ... they were happy to see me ... n we all glad realli loud until all those ard us were like noticing us ... It's like 3 yrs realli passed by so quickly ... time realli flies ... n it's sad becuz beautiful moments, sweet moments, happy moments filled all our undergraduate life and it was going to be over soon ... Rongchang looked realli scholarly in his attire ... one of my first few frenzs in NUS ... someone I realli suspected ... someone I got to know rather well ... his sister bought a cute bear for him n he was trying to ask someoone to carry it for him ... haha ... but too bad I disturbed him n asked him to pose a foto with the bear ... he was like "complaining" ... aniwae I like "distrubing" pple ... somehow tis mischievious nature of me haven't eluded me yet ... guess it what kept me alive ... Cheehong was there as well n so was baowen n aivee ... met others as well like Yong Ping, Tianfong ... was so happy for them n we went celebrating after tt ... the weather was bad ... but it nvr dulls the mood ... ended up the whole afternoon at Coffee Bean, wasting the day away ... was juz talking n talking ... as though it will b a while when we will meet again ... it was rather late when I travelled back home ... ate dinner outside ... have to eat dinner again when I reached home becuz mum wanted me to have dinner ... it was sad travelling back with my frenzs n tinking there next semester I will b like chionging 7 modules without them ard ... I kept telling pple I was sad seeing almost all my frenzs graduating ... the 3 yrs of friendship were meaningful to me ... it was sth memorable ... sth I cldn't forget ... sth I cldn't swap it for anything ... when I told pple I was sad, few pple believed ... mb I am always in my cheerful self ... but mb I am too much of a feeling person tt parting is always sth difficult for me to swallow ... when I left for Sweden earli tis yr, I was realli realli sad ... I woke up in the morning tinking abt my family ... tinking abt my frenzs until I started making new frenzs who were v nice ... yst called my tuition's kid mum who have loaned me all her winter stuff ... said her son was not performing well in Chemistry and she wld ask her son whether she need some tuition in Chemistry ... called me tis morning n asked whether I cld find time to teach her son ... it was gd to b back again but I knew it wld b beyond me to teach 'A' level Chemistry ... recommended my buddy Beng Hwee ... who has such passion for teaching ... a guy who valued kindness + friendship ... guess auntie was disappointed i couldn't take up but was grateful for my recommendation ... i started teaching tuition 5 yrs ago with a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of belief and i'm glad tt my tuition have always improved n the parents hav always liked me ... it's alwae made me felt gratified when I thot of tt. back to top?
