Impromptu Outing with Ariane

A day at the zoo!

So Wayne picked me up from my house this afternoon in his ah beng car (like car, like owner. LOL!) and we headed straight for the Zoo! I can't remember when was the last time I went there but it really has changed quite a bit and there are still currently upgrading works going on. There's gonna be something new comin' up too in 2012 too, like some river safari thing...

I didn't exactly take many pictures cause my camera ain't that great to zoooooooom in and focus on the animals. Here's just some shots which I think is fairly good enough :D hahaha. & I didn't get to see the polar bears, sea otteres nor elephants and some more :( Don't know where they all went, upgrading works fault! Haha. Enjoy the pictures anyway!

There were so many school kids at the zoo today. Cute but really NOISY!!! Hahaha.

Papa Hippo

Mama & Baby Hippo

I could watch em all day, they're rather amusing in their own way of life.

Um..... Ok I know quiet obscene, LOL! OK next............

Feeding time for the Giraffe

Lemurs

My favourite butterfly (as you can see it's left wing is kinda damaged)

But still so pretty :)

It kept fluttering around me and following me and didn't wanna leave my hand, shoulder, face, hair (I swear!!!!!) so I had to push it lightly to this branch, haha.

Bats eating. Saw one of em pee-ing upside down...... LOL!

Random thought that I just had to try to put into words :)

Okay, so I finally decided to use my sony digi camera instead of my iPhone............ it has been sitting on the shelf collecting dust since my last trip on new year's eve (I think) or the day after that :O Hahaha.

One of my favourite rings :D Idk what I'm doing here or why I took this........... & I seriously think my face is getting rounder over the years, totally not cool. Ah but anyway...... Just like any other typical ordinary Saturday afternoon, I sat down using my laptop; Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and what not, and what made me kinda question and go into deep thought was after reading people's (both the known/unknown) same ol' usual thoughts/complains/opinions and etc. regarding a certain topic. i.e. Love and Friendships -- these 2 never fail to top the "topics" amongst teenagers like us at least, haha.

Honestly, I don't even know why or what brought me here to blog about this but I just felt like it and I've never better to do now anyway so yeah.. haha.

Maybe I'd just share abit and who knows, let you people/readers out there (whoever you are) be enlightened or a lil comforted to know that you're always never alone in whatever "tough" situation you might be going through or have gone through :) Hey, we all still managed to live on and survived eventually didn't we? Haha.

I'll just say this generally and also, in my own point of view that yeah, losing a friend or loved one is indeed painful. Sometimes so painful that it drives one crazy or even to do foolish acts. I've known people who have cried and drank their hearts out trying to forget the pain they feel in their hearts temporarily a.k.a run away from reality, people who've hurt themselves countless of times because they feel so sad, angry, disappointed and just like shit inside out, people who've had suicidal thoughts and many many more. My heart really goes out to all these people, these young people. It's like most of us haven't even hit 20 and here we are crying/*insert whatever emotion here* over people who have left us because of this and that this and that. I know exactly how it feels because I've been through it all and I'm happy to say that I'm much stronger now and that I've learned many things along the way. Sometimes, we really have to learn to let go in order to see the greater things prepared ahead of us, and greater people who are there with/around us. We always have to keep looking forward and learn not to look back nor be angry at ourselves being filled with regrets or wishing you could have done this or that. The past IS the past, we can't go back in time nor get it back. If it's meant to be yours, it will be eventually even w/o effort. What's done is done, we move on. If we fall, we get back up. If we make mistakes, we learn from it. It's just part of Life.

We've only got one life, and we definitely have no time to waste it on people who don't appreciate or love us. Heck these people really..... haha. In life, you don’t get the people you want sometimes but you do get the people you need; people to teach you, to hurt you, to love you, to make you laugh. To make you exactly the person you should be.

Life is funny isn't it? Just when sometimes you think you've got it all figured out, just when you finally begin to plan or do something and get excited about it and feel like you know what direction you're heading in.. the paths change, the signs change, the wind blows the other way; north is suddenly south, and east is west and so on and you're just lost. It's so easy to lose your way, to lose direction -- just like people; be it friends or lovers. Shucks I think I talk too much..

I'm not perfect, no one ever is. I dare say I've broken hearts but I've had mine broken as well. Heard of Karma? I believe in it too. Honestly, I never really thought about myself until recently. I always put my family and friends before myself and never once have I complained about anything really, no one will ever see me angry nor sad (okay maybe just once) even if I do feel that way. I have an ultimately high level of patience and tolerance which sometimes is bad for me because people then take me for granted and just do whatever they like.

On a side note, I'd always be there and give the best to my good friends, and lover(still waiting.........) LOL. Whatever it is, I will never want to hurt anyone. Even if I did hurt anybody in the past, I didn't mean to/you left me with no choice/you deserved it. Sounds harsh but reality speaks.

I'm not the girl who is stunning, have great hair, flawless face or a hot bod, I'm not the girl who has any special talents, I'm not the girl who says sweet nothings to you 24/7 nor expect you to talk to me 24/7, I'm not the girl who expects you to buy me gifts almost all the time or every month of our "anniversary", I'm not the girl who makes empty promises nor use the word 'forever', I'm not the girl who expects you to pay for my share all the time -- in fact, I feel SO AWFULLY bad, haha. I'm not the girl who uses these 3 words "I love you" very often but it doesn't mean I don't! ;) haha. I just find that it loses it's meaning when said so often.

Ah okay my brain's kinda frying, I should stop talking so much now. So I shall end off with a quote aight!

“Three things in life when gone never come back: time, opportunity, and words.”

FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY

Luv my hair todeay hehehehaha.

1 year down, 2 more to go

So, my results were released today, slowly and painfully.......... (I think only RP-ians would get what I mean by this statement), haha! Sounds over-exaggerating? Well, not really.. haha.

Anyway, yes! I don't have to retake any Year 1 modules because I passed everything when ironically, I did fail some major exams in between :\ like getting 'E' and 'F' grades etc. I guessed my daily grades + attendance helped pull me up to at least a pass overall! (Thank God).

Hmm I guess I can say that I'm fairly satisfied with my results since I expected the worst :\ But still, my overall GPA stinks. I kinda regret not putting the effort to do better for my first semester in year one where I could've scored better cuz the modules weren't difficult(which I thought it was) compared to what I did for last semester and at least my GPA would'nt have dropped to below 2.5.

I can't imagine myself sitting and going through the 'hell'ish modules I have for next semester, in year two. Because I know for sure, my GPA would continue to drop even further. Especially with another Physics module which is gonna be x5 tougher than the Physics we took for last semester where I already struggled so bad. No matter how hard I tried, I always got an 'F' grade. It's not because I'm lazy or hate Physics as a subject or didn't put enough effort really, I just couldn't comprehend and understand Physics as a whole. I don't even know the basics nor have a foundation for it.

One thing I dislike about RP's education system is that yeah, it totally follows the school's motto or whatever you call it, "LEARNING WITH A DIFFERENCE". And hell yeah do we learn with so much difference. I don't hate the school or anything but I feel when it comes to certain modules like Math and whatever Sciences, the students should at least be taught and given some basic fundamentals by the Facilitators or something and not just left alone with some other ppl to do their worksheets together as a group. (We RP students should ALL know the different "faces" and "working styles" of classmates) & honestly sometimes, I don't feel like I've learnt anything for the day AT ALL. Ah oh well, I'll quit the ranting already.

If my appeal for transferring course is unsuccessful, I really don't know how I'd cope for next semester with these modules: Chemistry 2, Applied Physics, Materials Science, Anatomy & Physiology. Yup, just plain science, Science, SCIENCE.
