It is now the 1st of March, 2010, and for 10 years of my life I spent this day celebrating the anniversary of Anglo-Chinese School, the place where I grew up and learned how to be me.

Earlier tonight I spent a significant amount of time reading through the old blog posts on josh.nkN, from entries made while I was in Hongkong to those from the first semester after Wuhan, dating all the way back to October of 2008. It has been an amazing journey.

It has been a long time for all of us.

This post isn’t meant to be quite as sentimental as it is becoming, I think. But anyway, what I hope to do within the next few days is relive some of the former glory this blog used to have (as much as it had, anyway). So just like back in 2008, this will begin with a shoutout to all who still read this page to leave a comment just to say hi. This space is about to get more interesting. I guarantee it.

Start of something new?

Right then, I’ve officially ended my stint at Youth.SG for now. I’ll still be a contributor writer but for obvious reasons it can’t be full time anymore and that means… NO PAY!

I must say though that it’s been tremendous fun writing for a youth magazine for a change.

Okay so I’m back! Where was I. Right, tremendous fun writing for a youth mag. Well it was nice to be able to write in a relaxed fashion (which I never do except on my blog) and more or less not have to worry about style or tone.

Anyway, school starts on Monday. I guess I’m prepared. Not much else I can do I suppose, that’s what I mean. I only have a couple days of freedom though, and today’s already over so just one left.

I did a terribly awesome bit of shopping today. Okay it was hardly a bit, but shopping with Mum makes it all better!

It’s a long story though so I’ll cut it short. In a nutshell I ended up buying 3 things: a shaver (‘cos mine broke), a dry cabinet (‘cos they’re awesome and keep my camera stuff dry and HELLZ YEAH) and a voice recorder (as an investment ‘cos well, I’m tired of writing. So there)

On a separate note, may be time to update my wishlist. But no rush on that I guess. Not like I’ll ever run outta things to want.

So yes! I’m all set for the new and last semester. Kickass! The next post might just be the back to school first day post. Not that I’m obligated to write one.
