University life? You bet. 

There's a fine line between being stubborn and staying true to one's principles. There's also a fine line between having an ego and being self-confident. (And also a fine line between having trust and breaking it. Cross it and you're done.)

Starting against NTU was pseudo-flattery and the result was a downright demoralising and shameful defeat- the worst competitive basketball game of my life. I NEED to pick myself up and tmr's game against NUS is where I do so. There is no other way out other than through.

This absence simply tells me how much I appreciate your presence in my life- my every day life. I know saying come back soon is stupid because you simply won't come back any sooner than the stipulated date but it's alright I'll be stupid for you once again. ASNL, Chiam Jun Ting!

"Fucking win the NUS match on monday. No fear for anyone's safety. Dun give a fuck what people say or think." I must admit I need this sort of attitude at times like these. (Applied in context, of course.)

Discovering a different U indeed.

I'm slowly learning how to make sacrifices (for the better, I think).
I'm learning how to prioritize.

Time management. I think it makes or breaks your university life.

Dear Faithful Readers,

I would like to express my sincerest appreciation for your loyalty towards dehnail.blogspot.com, which, for the past 2 months, have gone without any update. Thank you.

This is an apology to the many (or a few) who have been waiting for the Eurotrip update, which, unfortunately, has yet to be completed. Nonetheless, I have decided to disclose this link: http://eurotripdan.blogspot.com for you to take a look of what (little) content I had put up before the forces of procrastination, an active social life beyond my blog, and now, the fucking Uni-rat-race, have grinded my blog updates to a complete halt.

This blog is not going to be shut down. It is going to be here, and I'd post as and when I like.

Regarding the eurotrip update, I've never given up on it yet, but I'm sure the earliest I get back to doing it up would be after Semester 1. Damn.

Once again, thank you.

Regards,
Dan

Last week a foreign worker was working outside my flat at the lift landing when I left my house. When he saw me, he smiled, and proceeded to step off his stool to allow me access to the lift when it arrived.

When I returned a few hours later, he was still there, but this time, working on the other lift. I didn't allow him to smile first. So smile I did.

After stepping into my house I turned and asked him, "Hey, you want something to drink? Coffee?" He lagged for 2 seconds before waving to politely decline. "Ice water?" I persisted, this time my face was even more enthusiastic than before. And he nodded!

So I poured him a glass of ice cold water and brought it out to him. The smile on his face made my day. Never mind the bottle of water lying near his tools. He had a glass of ice cold water served! I asked him what was he doing with the doors and he explained that there was a lot of scraping to do to touch up the doors. After that, I thanked him, he thanked me, and I went back into my flat.

Today, while washing my dad's car downstairs, we met again as he was fetching some material from one block to another. That warm smile and nod of the head was enough to make my day, again. It was as if we are friends. =)

These little things are keeping me sane from the roller-coaster ride of emotions I have been feeling recently. If you truly know me, you'll know me.

p.s. still working on the great eurotrip update. shan't spoil the "surprise".

I know YOU are dying to read an update on the unimaginably-awesome 34-day 10-boys 11++ European cities Backpacking tour I just had.
So do I.

But I don't quite know where to start. yet.
But I need to sort out all the photos, upload them onto facebook, first. Count in things like 21st celebrations parties, meet-ups with everyone, AND facebook-photo-tear-me-apart-technical-issues, etc. And there you go, I'll take some time.

I haven't even packed my birthday gifts proper and looked at the party photos proper!!!

Thanks, a million thanks for all who've made an impact in my life thus far.
(and for the AX Watch, Birks, Shirts & T-shirts, Jerseys, Belt, Perfume, Book & Book Voucher, and the other little gifts too heehee. :D)

Stay tuned.
