"I am blogging (yet again) when I should be studying.
Just recently, the whole 'terror thing' happened. Whenever such news struck, we feel pity, sorry, anger and even disgust for the unrest and loss of lives. There is devastation everywhere, which makes me ponder...
There is always somebody out there destroying something.
There is always someone who's bound to go against and beyond authorities.
There is always someone that's going to tweak things. Flip logic. Play dirty.
Someone unsatisfied, not happy with the current times.
Something is created, and then being torn down.
Something so unexpected can happen.
And the vicious cycle repeats itself."

The words above were written by me ages ago (as if), when certain places in the world were raided. Not going in-depth into the these locations, y'all are free to guess. Hint: I wrote it somewhere earlier last year (2016).
I know this cyberspace has been neglected lately. This ever so "opinionated", sometimes subjective, both factual and non-factual site. After all, what's the purpose of a personal page right? I get to immerse myself into literally anything! Heh.
How's it out there in reality, you asked.
It would be a complete lie if I said nothing was going on. I can barely manage my own time at hand - in school and at home. Some of my classmates are way better at handling tasks and people. I admit I am still learning from them. They never fail to entice me. Their POVs and mine, wow Sta... great soft skills going on there.. /since when did I find such trivial statements like this humorous/.
I came back
now only because:
- It is the long holidays!
I am done with my Freshman year in Polytechnic. Lots of things took place. 2016 was by far the most thrilling and eye-opening year. I have had my fair share of ups and downs. Talk about daily energy and interactions, my tank is pretty much drained.
- This space has mostly been on my mind. After all, I started doing this thing since childhood, more precisely at age ten. No doubt I missed posting here frequently.
- I have not had much motivation and drive earlier. Decreasing my hours of sleep and getting tired easily due to commitments. I am sure many of you out there (whichever age categories you guys fall under), can relate to this. You procrastinate, your productivity level dwindles. A new
bad habit forms.
- Me failing two modules at the start of Semester 2 was very alarming. I only managed to make a comeback at the end of this year. Ditch having to re-module, ditch that. I have proved that there is so much room for improvement, earthlings! /Proud Calista tapping herself on the shoulder/
MAIN HIGHLIGHTS
What I focused on mainly for the past year, was to give myself as much exposure as possible. That was when I took 'stepping out of one's own comfort zone' at play.
From taking part in school camps, orientation programs to trying out some Interest Groups. I came to the school, not knowing anyone from my course. It took me some while to adjust to a completely new surrounding.
I have probably embarrassed myself several times along the journey. But you know what? These are the moments I will look back upon and laugh. I figured what my incapability is, and yet at the same time, recognized how strong-willed I am.

In retrospect to my earlier post
here on "Differing Plans", I have long needed to update my progress - I signed off from my A'capella Interest Group. That happened before Semester 2 commenced. One reason was because of time constraint. I realized I overestimated myself in that aspect. With that being said, I am not going to explain myself further. I have already wrote what I needed to in a separate email to the in-charges.. Friends, you can approach me personally!
Have to admit, still... that I have no regrets joining it in the first place. If anything, I did enjoy myself. Got to takeaway what A'capella is, then enforcing camaraderie within the assigned group itself.
Urbanites started off shaky, each individual having a slightly different temperament and taste in music. It took us some while to coordinate and blend. With the help and effort from our supervisors, seniors and fellow IG mates. Kind of felt the family energy lying about.

Here's to the classmates I have embarked my first year in Poly with. You guys are a pretty rowdy bunch! Haha! I have said what I needed on other social media platforms.
Here's to my family and friends (both in and out of school) for the immerse love, care and support. I may not be the best, but thank you for tolerating the nonsensical thyself.
Here's also to people whom I talked with very seldom now, thank you for the memories. We may not have the opportunity to forge deeper bonds, but at least we connected.
Here's to people who may have picked out the flaws in me, I know I have them. At some point I may seem distant and fake to you, and I am not going to put that in denial. Instead, I accept them solely as they are. Please hear my apologies. Also, I hope yaw are having fun.
Lastly, here's to all for making me learn and grow. I guess I am getting out little by little from my princess tendencies.
Cheers and all the best to a new year (erm technically a 'new SCHOOL year').
