她的声音，音乐的清脆，搭配简单的吉他旋律，简单而有力，打进了我的心。。。

一首叙述着远距离的爱情。。。

远距离恋爱其实很困难，总令人感觉甜蜜中带有很多心酸。搏斗久了，多数人都会无奈地选择放弃这种甜中带酸的关系。远距离恋爱，会多了一些些的疑问和不肯定，同时也需要安全感的渴求。

两个人在一起，就必须要明白，大家都是不一样的。如果出现任何冲突，请用心聆听对方的话，看看大家的不一样。。。

Most important ethic in life: Honesty

I couldn't believe my eyes today.

A week ago, our mid term was given back to us. Out of 100, I scored a low 42 and she had 39. She called n looked for me urgently after class, asking me abt my score and requested to see my scripts. She said she wanted to know which were the questions she had answered wrongly. I was puzzled. I left my script with her and she returned them to me that evening.

Today, I realized that she amended her scripts and resubmitted to the prof. I happened to browse thru her script among the pile of assignments given back to us. Her 39 became 62. It seemed that she erased her wrong answers and wrote the correct ones. It was so obvious! Those questions which she had amended were the ones I got correctly while she didn't during the mid term.

I cannot understand why she did that. I felt really unhappy and sad after the class today. Not because she had a higher score than me. I just can't figure out why she had cheated.

Its a shame to NUS, sighz.... :(

A lot of my friends said she is a very attractive girl, I used to agree with them, but now I am taking it back....

What good is her appearance if she don't possess a clear conscience...

Back soon!

Oh my, I just saw the countdown clock on the right and realized that I have less than 30 days left in the States. Should I be sad or happy? I think both. I dunnoe how much I have learnt and achieved in these past 5 months, but at least I think I am more independent now. Free to do what I want, know what I need to do, think the right way! Thats most impt to me, do things the smart way. Apparently, MisterLyon is a very blur person, hahaz..

There are lots of ups and downs living alone esp in a country that is so far away from home. I agree sometimes, life is pretty tough, but one has to experience it to know how it taste like. I realized that most of my blog posts this yr are abt me travelling around, having fun. Not many entries on the difficulties that I actually faced in this new life of mine. Not that there are none, but I have decided not to publish it out. Sometimes, it is best just to keep it to yourself, at least I believe certain stuff needs to be hidden inside my heart. okie, sound a bit emo liao....

Anyway, Hip Hop class ended yesterday and only 9 students turned up. Perhaps most pple thought there was going to be a test. Hahz, nope, luckily! But there were photos and videos taken during the class. Its is really fun to join a dance class in another country and then start to see the difference in the teaching methods. The instructor, Harold McCord, teaches his own unique style of Tru-School Hip Hop and street dance. And I really had a lot of fun attending his class, though there were like 2 guys including me, and abt 20 girls...hahaz.....Its abt the dance, not the girls!!!

I woke up this morning and received 3 Sch alert SMSes informing me that East campus gate is closed because there was some unidentified object observed in a stormwater drain near the main entrance to campus. The bomb team also arrived! First qn on my mind: Was there a bomb found? Its not surprising because recently, police found explosives in one of the houses near my city. And then there was some state elections this week. Maybe got some pple not happy or wat, wanna start something naughty. After 3 hours, the police announced that it was a geo-cache!

It is actually a piece of tupperware, something like the one in the center of the pic. It must be non-transparent. I dun have the exact pic, the above was taken from wiki, cuz I also dunnoe what exactly is a geo-cache. According to the news, it was determined to be a box associated with a hide and seek, scavenger hunt-type game for GPS users, called Geocaching. In the game, players use a Global Positioning System receiver to hide and seek containers called geocaches. The caches are typically small waterproof containers that have a logbook and "treasure", often toys or trinkets.

Maybe somebody lost one of the cache, maybe it got kicked into the drain...This cache caused the traffic jam to the campus West entrance and my 1hr to reach the sch instead of just 15 mins. Now pple are blaming the police of making such a big hooha over such a small thing. Hmm, but what if it was a real bomb... In Singapore, if u see an opaque box in the drain, would u alert the police? I don't think anyone will bother.

My engine ethics lecturer initially guessed and told the class that the unidentified object could be somebody doing homework on the street....ya, very funnie...ha ha ha...
