already? the week literally just flew by and tomorrow, i'll be back in school, struggling in Korean class and hustling with FYP work. major yikes if you ask me. maybe i did advanced readings and lectures for some of my modules but what i did not do is study for my Korean speech test that i will be taking this Wednesday. maybe i got my priorities wrong, but i really have to be working on that for the rest of this week. 

the first half of the week was pretty productive because i did some readings and lectures in advance. but the later half of the week came and i ended up being unproductive. thank goodness my midterms are over already. we had fyp meeting on monday. of course we had to have a meeting even on recess week because we really need some progress. it is stressful seeing the progress of other groups but we'll do our best, we'll do our best. fyp had been taking the bulk of my time this semester so far, as i will always do some kind of fyp work almost every day. but it's the last year already and i gotta do this well!! stress!!

on tuesday, i met janice, a senior i made friends with in a class we took alone. somehow we clicked and grew closer during the semester when i had no friends in school so yas! it was a good catch up! she recommended me to watch the sixth sense and that was exactly what i did that night which explains why the later half of the week was not as productive as i hoped it to be. 

on wednesday, i met with jingwen and peishi for lunch near peishi's work place! what to do, we have to adapt to this working adult's lifestyle. we had lunch at the builder's cafe and caught up with one another, as always, talking about hall people, post-grad life and our Korea trip which at this point still cannot be confirmed with the coronavirus situation. went to starbucks with jingwen afterwards. was supposed to do some fyp work or something, but i ended up watching the second episode of the sixth sense. went for dance open class with weiliang that evening!! we were finally meeting during the semester, only during recess week, but it was a fun hour! it was my first dance open class and not gonna lie, i was nervous as heck. but the class was at a doable pace and the vibes were good i enjoyed myself thanks liangies for the jio!!! we had shake shack for dinner afterwards. all that dancing was for nothing. :'-) 

thursday was finally the day that i stayed at home. maybe i attempted to do some work but i think most of the times i got distracted so.... :-) 

met theo on friday afternoon and stayed over her house that night! the last time we met was like before the semester started and we're finally catching up with one another in the middle of the semester. we, or she, definitely had a lot of updates over the seven weeks of school HAHAH it has also been such a long time since i stayed over a friend's house. it was something i would do quite often back in primary school but yes i'm so grateful for the time with theo! we had sushi express for lunch, and major movements during fellowship time (it was hilarious), and also doing work until midnight? we've definitely grown up man. we both woke up 15 minutes before leaders meeting on saturday yikes :'-) i had a quick lunch before rushing back home for fyp meeting. 

and that's how i spent recess week. six more weeks of school until the end of the semester as i do not have finals and things are only gonna get more and more intense. i'll definitely have to pull up my socks for Korean, it is the module that i am most worried for this semester. and i'll also have to be consistent in my grades for the other modules that i'm taking while working on fyp. let's get this! 

all the love and till next time x

it's a realisation that i tend to reminisce the past. sometimes i catch myself thinking about years ago, the friendships, the good times we had, all so different from the present. i got to learn to accept the changes and move on with reality. i can't keep getting stuck in the past. there's nothing more i can do, even if there are regrets that i had from then.
