it has been such a long time since i last blogged..

i guess i have more or less got used to uni life after the past two and a half months.. mid-terms are finally over.. projects and essays on hand as usual but i shan't complain anything about it cause that's what every student is going through too.. next two weeks will be busy weeks cause of many presentations and reports due.. but im glad i've learnt to let go and not stress myself up too much nowadays.. one of my friends even asked me why i dont look stress at all, which i think is good :)

sometimes when i take some time out to look at my life now, i want so much to be able to meet up with bestie to eat her favourite pastamania like we used to do, to get up earlier to meet cousin for breakfast, to meet buddies for long chitchat, to lunch with kelly, to go window shopping with mum, to meet sis for dinner after school.. i miss those days before uni..

lastly, just wish to end this post by saying that im thankful to him for coming into my life :)

it's MY weekend!
no going back to school for projects!
some time to breathe, finally! :)))))

it has already been one month since i started school.. have been occupied with all the before-class preparations and readings, after-class revisions, talks and project discussions.. really need to learn to manage my time better.. really need more time for my family and friends and for myself too..

classmates are ok but because we go to different classes for different modules, all of us are more like hi-bye friends i would say.. except for my leadership and teambuilding (LTB) teammates, they are really nice people to be with, very encouraging and supportive, i enjoy working with them..





















i always tell kelly i miss going back to work, i miss my three months at auntie's office.. kelly used to say this feeling will slowly fade after i get used to school life and make new friends there.. but now that i've already spent one month in school and made new friends, i still miss her! and i still wish very much that im still working there haha..

those who know me will know that going uni is not what i wanted.. even back in SP, i always feel that a diploma is enough and i know i will happy doing a 9-5 job and having time with my family and friends, and with my husband and kids next time i marry.. people have been telling me i'll realise the importance of a degree in future, i know it is important but im just contented with my diploma because ultimately, my ambition is still to become a housewife, maybe a working one, so at least i make some contribution to my family haha..

seeing me get into uni has always been dad's biggest dream, i still remember how happy he was the day i got the letter from SMU.. i know it's not easy to get into uni and im really lucky i have this opportunity but sometimes i do break down and feel that i cant cope with studies, sometimes i thought of giving up.. i may not get fantastic results in uni, but the thought of dad holds back my thought of quitting school.. i will keep on trying..

will be going back to office next monday to help uncle with his army tutorial, im really looking forward to it :)

prays that kevin gets well soon.. i still remember his smile everytime he comes into office, he looks so different lying in ICU with all the tubes.. i hope to see the old kevin again and i know he will definitely make it!

yesterday was my last day of work at auntie's office, really sad to be leaving.. appreciate the sweet messages on the card, i'll definitely miss every single one of them, kelly most of all.. all the gossiping, laughing and talking.. ahhh im missing her already.. really thankful for her patient guidance in work and for listening to the things i went through at camp and my worries about school and other stuff..

thanks cousin for being there for me all this while too, you never fail to understand..

been missing poly days too, the fun and the mugging.. gris, qian ling, foong, su, mei and wei, i miss you all..

cant wait for the upcoming Family Day, to see the familiar faces again :)
