Many things happened for the past 1 week; in a way I'm too drained to include details here. A very good friend once remarked to me that "...that one day the merits you see will be but the demerits that I possess". At that point of time when I heard it, I felt it was crappy; for now I can appreciate its meaning, full if not most of it.

I'm back to singlehood again. All my good friends who read this must be really surprise - What? How? When? Why? Well, sometimes as much as we want things to work out, it's just not possible. The break-up is a peaceful one and there's no quarrel or hard feelings involved. Both of us were not very compatible and if the relationship continues, there won't be happiness or future.

Anyway, along the way, I think I have been a really bad bf. I doubt not many gals can stand a guy like me. I am sorry for not being a wonderful bf for the past 150+ days. I didn't know that I can be so unbearable at times. Also I never knew that some of my opinions will come across as being too stifling to be accepted. Indeed a person's character is analogous to that of a coin and depending on which side you look at, it'll appear as positive/negative.

For the special friend, the Guangzhou trip will be one which I remembered for life. The time spent with you represents the happiest time spent on exchange and it can easily be one of the happiest moment in my life. Whatever's gonna happen between us in the future, let nature takes its course. Only Father time will reveal the truth eventually.

Anyway here are some snippets of the happenings for the one week. From last Sat till Tue, I went to Guangzhou with 3 Singapore exchanged students; we had a great time shopping and eating. Don bought so much things that he has to buy a trolley to bring all the boxes (yes I mean boxes!) of ornaments he bought back to HK. The returning journey was tiring but fun (challenging in fact).

Nothing much happened after my return except that I've some school works and assignments to catch up. Had a Mid-Term on Organic Structural Elucidation on Thu. I was late for the test but I was the first to leave as I finished the paper pretty effortlessly. The result was out yesterday and I got the highest score in the class. Hmm I was joyous when I received the news; at least, it shows that I am able to excel outside Singapore and most importantly, I've not let a special friend down.

Back to do my work for now. So much things have happened that I need time to reflect and move on with my life. After this exchange, I still have one whole year of honours year project to do. I prognostigate that it'll be a tough but fulfilling final year. I believed this exchange has made me stronger, more independent and not to forget, give me a very strong foundation in organic chemistry.
