At a checkpoint

I dug up the entry I wrote before I took my first paper in NTU.

Its come to this

Omg, first paper in 3 years, in Chinese somemore.

As much as I always tell myself its just exams which I've been through countless times, why do I still feel nervous!?!?

Noobish. I'll get it over and done with, and well done it must be!

Garf.

1271 days later, I found myself finishing the last thing I needed to do. To graduate, and to move on into the next phrase of my life. The last exam paper was an absolute pain to study for, but truth be told I enjoyed every minute of it. I am certain I'll miss studying, not so much the act itself, but the company that I had along the way.

This last semester has been great to say the least, and the memories of everything that has taken place thus far in my four eventful years in NTU, will slowly fade to become the many photos I'll look back on in facebook or in print (yes I did print some of them) There's so much to talk about, so many friends to thank, but I'll leave that for a bit later while I prepare myself for one last guilt free trip before stepping out into the world.

And I'm now suddenly a little lost as to the 'freedom' that came along when I stepped out of the exam hall. Ironic.

the power of new media

How much has changed in 5 years? How have our lives changed in this interval? How amazing what the new avenues of information sharing have shown us what was otherwise been kept away from us?

The nation may be standing at the crossroads yet again, and it may still be going towards the same direction as it has been all this while. But this time round something is different. It maybe the start of something.

Whatever it is, whatever the results maybe, its a change worth rejoicing. Here's to a brighter tomorrow.
