before i officially matriculated into NUS, i went for arts camp.. from where i tot i wld b able to find pple i cld spend my uni life with.. it din turn out that way at all of coz.. though i met ck who was from another og and i always forget to account that to arts camp's credit. but ironically or not, i became better frens with him, someone from another og, rather than my own og.. perhaps it was timing, or perhaps bad decisions on my part, but i just cldnt click wif my own og and when i was into things, they weren't, and when they were into things, i already wasn't... but i still went on the 2nd stint of arts camp, although i wasn't exactly councilor material anymore at that point.. there was false impression that i was in the same frequency wif them again, but i slowly realized that it was just not to be.. though i guess im glad that i was able to help someone out..

but year 2 was juz going to b as quiet as year 1, wif juz a slight difference that i started taking korean, which was because i started listening to kpop? which was because i went once or twice to chevrons wif sam and ph who spammed korean songs there? i guess without this catalyst i probably wldnt have got into korean language.. but it is juz a fallacy of coz.. but seeing how timing cld b an important factor here, since me starting from year 2 is something to note.. and oso the sub condition that jy, who was from ck's group, and had always been just grace and ck's fren, oso wanted to take korean, that ended up wif me really going for it and getting into korean 1 in the end.. of coz, its hard to say whether without her wld i haf taken it all the same.. since i dun rmb how into it i was at the time alr.. but i guess i wld haf still, judging from the fact that i've always been going into new things on my own in uni and i had grown rather used to it anyway.. so from level 1 to level 2 my year 2 was seemingly an extension of my year 1 wif very minor changes. i'd haf to say that first 2 sems of korean really din make much of a difference to my uni life after all..

n i almost forgot about kcig, in sem 2 where i decided to take a look at this cca.. i dun rmb how i got to noe this cca though.. perhaps they came into the class to promote it, or perhaps i received their email, but i think the teacher mentioned that it wld b good to haf a korean buddy to improve our korean.. so i tot i'd go to their welcome tea to haf a look.. i still rmb though.. that i had asked sam to come wif me becoz i was tired of joining things by myself.. but somehow i guess he wasn't free or just wasn't interested enough and i ended up going alone.. the welcome tea itself wasn't much though.. but i applied for a buddy all the same and got one.. it was 2 singaporeans to 1 korean buddy but it was quite a flop in the end.. between me n the 2 of them.. haha.. only thing i got from this buddy thing was that i ended up knowing a few more pple, beatrice, sarah, minqi, and maybe i cld count vivian.. haha..

and then came the korean immersion programme in the holidays.. which was kind of like the main turning point in my uni life.. where i actually found frens.. uni frens.. though they were all mostly one year junior except for a said few who were either my year or a year senior. but if i rmb correctly, before the trip, i was still having doubts about going.. since i was clueless about purchasing air tickets and stuff.. n i was probably not in the mood to ask anyone, plus my mum was alr ill at that time.. so i had been going to n fro about whether i shld go anot... so i guess without jy at that time, who helped me jump on board the ship, or plane in this instance, with angie helping to buy the tickets, i mite really haf not gone at all..

a month's stay in korea, im not sure if it changed much of myself n my view of this world and stuff.. but i finally opened my eyes to the other pple who were taking korean classes as well.. partially oso becoz the only person i really knew was jy, since the pple i knew in my own korean class, juz a few, wasn't on the attending list.. i assimilated myself a fair bit into the main crew of the programme, i guess it wasn't too difficult since there were only 6 guys and the guys were part of the main group.. ok im going off topic on this entry so i shall stop recollecting my immersion trip.. haha..

so back to start my third year uni life.. n thats where i am not sure whether if i had not gone for the immersion trip, wld i haf continued to korean 3.. i guess i probably wld still haf... but it wld definitely not b the same as how i spent my third year.. i happened to know at least 80% if not 90% of my korean 3 class and i was always hanging around the other korean 3 class as well, partly coz i wld 'pickup' bernice b4 we went for our next class.. which was another thing that i received from immersion, a fellow student in my major.. and in korean 3, due to a few reasons, i exchanged tutorial slots with jy, and got into the 8am class.. im not a big fan of morning classes of coz.. but i was able to accept that change in my timetable as well.. and so i met a totally different bunch of pple in this tutorial class instead of the other one that i was supposed to b in originally.. and thats where i met ht.... she was in my lecture class as well but i guess its easier to get to noe each other in tutorial..

and then coz priscilia was the president of kcig and jiaquan was the vp, i went once or twice to kcig stuffs and on one occasion i got to noe that there was actually now a 'dance crew' in kcig.. i was intrigued of coz.. but more so when they arrived n i realized that ht was a part of them.. come to think of it... i kinda dun rmb how i got her number, but i believe it was in the end of sem 1 that she brought me into the dance crew.. again i was the only one to join at that point of time. not that i wanted to of coz.. i had asked more than a few pple to join wif me.. but none wld accompany me.. so i got into another stint where i cld only self survive.. haha.. of coz at least i knew ht.. but it was still difficult to get into a strange group by myself.. although i managed to in the end.. haha..

and after a long n tiresome entry, i come to yesterday, where i had a performance with the dance crew, although i alr graduated, so i guess it was my comeback and goodbye stage all in one.. haha.. it was fun i guess.. but im really not a big fan of performing.. i rather learn dances for the fun of it..

so to conclude this providential entry, if it wasn't for ht, i wldn't b in kcig dance.. if it wasn't for pris and jiaquan, i wldn't haf gone for the kcig, n i wldn't haf known ht was in kcig dance.. if it wasn't for jy, i wldn't haf known ht at all.. if it wasn't for jy ( or angie ), i wldn't haf known jiaquan or pris, if it wasn't for sam n ph, i wldnt haf taken korean, if it wasn't for ck, i wldn't haf known jy, n if i din go for arts camp, i wldn't haf known ck.. so its like a relation tree.. n if i rubbed away one branch.. the rest may or may not disappear.. but the way the branches intertwine intrigued me for a while yesterday.. which was wat led me to this entry.. sometimes its just fun to look back... n sometimes looking back is really just for the fun of it.. nothing inspirational at all... haha..
