I'm still here

I know.

I know it's been more than a month since I last updated. My apologies to anyone who has been following this blog and wondering if I abandoned it. No, it has not been abandoned, just neglected for so long due to my laziness, procrastination and preoccupation with a variety of stuff. I'm writing this entry to break that long lull, and also reaffirm my commitment to keeping this blog going, for I still have the need to capture those unique moments in space and time in my life. Much has happened since I last updated, and yet due to my laziness, procrastination and preoccupation with various stuff, I never got round to preserving those noteworthy moments in my life and my thoughts about them. The need to keep a record is even greater this semester, which is the beginning of my third and last year in university (unless I do my Honours year, which would mean an extra year). When I think about how it was not too long ago when I first entered university all excited yet full of anxiety about a new phase of my life, I get a little frightened upon realizing how time slips by so quickly. Therefore, now that the mid-semester break is just round the corner and I can finally take a breather, I resolve to update this blog more frequently with my thoughts, observations and of course those unique moments in space and time. I'm thinking at least one post a week, or one post per forthnight if I am busy (hey, I am a senior student after all!). But there will be entries to come, that's a promise to readers and myself.

Anyway, here're some updates on myself. Having completed my one semester of exchange with the University of Leeds, I went back to my university in Brisbane, Australia to resume my undergraduate studies. Not much about the city and my university has changed in the six months I was away. This semester, I moved to a new residential college. I could've moved back to my old one, but I figured that staying there fore 1 and a half years was long enough. Besides, I have enough of college food and after staying in a self-catered college for six months in Leeds, I decided that I definitely prefer to cook for myself. So far, I'm liking it here in my new college, and I'm closer to my neighbours here than to the neighbours I had in my previous colleges.

It's dinner time now, so I'll sign off here. There WILL be more entries to come, so keep an eye on this space. Till then!
