Hi im back!

Miss me? Yea, me too.

I'm going on a 3 day field trip tomorrow. Rather excited i have to say. It'll be a good chance to get away from Auckland for awhile, bond with my classmates, and reconnect with mother nature. I will also probably be without internet for a few days. HOW WILL I SURVIVE? Jokes. Should be fun, can't wait n_n

Lately, i've been rather content. I think i've rediscovered myself again, at least to an extent. Now that i've stopped wasting my time thinking about women, ive found myself reconnecting with many of my close male friends who i've become somewhat estranged from in the past few months. It's so much more fun hanging out with just guys. Don't get me wrong, female companionship has its perks too, but guys just make better friends.

These days, ive rekindled my passion in the things that matter to me most. My master's thesis, my body, and basketball. It's all ive been thinking about, and ive dedicated all my time to these things. And i have to say, it feels really good. While i cant say that i am happy, i have definitely found contentedness in these things. Focusing on these aspects of my life has given me new confidence in myself, and i've learnt to be an independent man. Time really flies when you're doing the things you love and not worrying about trivial things.

My dad has always been telling me that our generation is so fortunate. Ive never really understood, thinking that we have it hard. But talking to my international friend today, i think i can finally see things from his point of view. I really am quite lucky. I can come home to my family and a warm delicious meal already waiting for me on the dinner table, whereas she will go home to an empty house after a long day and still have to cook. I dont have to worry about not having enough money to spend, having to cook for myself, and the workload here is really minimal compared to what uni students have to deal with in China. I guess ive really taken these things for granted.

I have to say, i am really looking forward to the future. I look forward to my exams because i can finally show my true potential. And i look forward to being able to study in australia next year where i can finally realise my dream.

Anyways, i better go to sleep, i gots to wake up early tomorrow. Night~
