Just got a call from American Airlines today telling me that my ticket to fly back home has been booked. I would be leaving from Champaign airport on May 17th at around 545pm. That's about 2 weeks from now! I will be arriving in Malaysia on May 18th at around 12 noon, if there is no delay in my flight.

These few days I have been overwhelmed by nolstagic feelings as I walked around campus for maybe the last few times in my life. Every sight that I see, every path that I take...all of them seem to remind me of different people that I have met, whom I might never get to see again for the rest of my life.

It seems just like yesterday I have arrived here, and today I am leaving a place which has taught me so much, which has given me so many memories to hold and cherish in my heart.

To all who have touched my life and heart at one point or another, maybe you will never know just how much, but you will always be remembered. Maybe one day if Fate is willing, we will meet again at a new place in a new world...how much would we have changed by then? Or could we freeze time so that everything will always stay the same?

They said goodbyes are such sweet sorrow.

It's true.

I'm standing at the door to a new world
What I've realized is that I'm not alone

If I close my eyes
You're behind my eyelids
How strong has that made me?
I hope I'm the same for you

Titanic Two The Future

Jack is Back. This Summer.

Watched Titanic 1 many years back...still could remember what a big wave it made in the cinema at that time. Now that there is a sequel for it, can't wait to catch it when I am back home.

Now how many of you were actually tricked to believe that was a preview for an actual movie?

1 month to the Big Day...

The nearer it gets to my graduation the more stressed out I get. I am not feeling excited about it at all right now, maybe I am, but the stress is overwhelming everything else. I am more excited about going back home than about my graduation...even though this is like one in a lifetime event.

First reason is cos my parents told me they are not coming over for my graduation after all. I do not wish to list the reasons they gave me here. I am trying to understand them all, but sometimes, I really hate to have to swallow my own disappointment just because I am trying my hardest to understand others.

Second reason is cos I am suddenly overwhelmed by lots of assignments and exams...and I am feeling unmotivated to do any of them. I have to force myself to get through them everyday. I keep telling myself this is already the last lap of the race, but somehow..I am just feeling really lazy to do anything at times.

Third reason is that whenever I think about what I am going to do in the future, the more I think I wouldn't live up to others' expectation of me.

I am not making sense right now...think I will just go and take a nap and hope I will wake up feeling better.

I realize I tend to write/blog less when I am happy.

So judging from the amount of entries I have posted lately, you can probably tell my current mood.

This time I will keep this source of happiness in my life a secret for now. When the time is right, I will probably write about it, but right now I don't want to jinx it lol. I am quite superstitious huh?

What I spent in Chicago on Thursday:

The stuff on the left is preserved cuttlefish. It used to be my fave snack back home. There was once I ate it almost every single day, for nearly a month. Lol. It has a very strong taste and smell though, so it is either you like it or hate it.

The one on the right is shrimp rolls...it is crispy and has dried shrimp paste all rolled up inside. One of my fave snacks during Chinese New Year...but it is kinda expensive, even back home. Here, I only got a half plastic bag full for $8. Oh well. I am trying to keep it out of my sight for now so that I don't finish the whole thing within a few days.

Went into the Hershey's Chocolate Gift Shop when me and Eunice were walking around Michigan Avenue. Decided to buy some back as gifts for my friends back home.

Biggest Hershey's Kisses I have ever seen. Kinda unique...bought it for my mom's coming birthday this May

Also spent some on souvenirs...wanted to get myself a dress but all the dresses in the malls we visited were above $500!  There was one which was selling at $2000. I don't know about other girls, but I would never spend so much on just one dress alone.

Alright, gotta go back to my books now...two exams waiting for me this coming Thursday and Friday
