Miracles.

Okay, so 6 weeks internship is over. Great colleagues and working environment. Experienced working in a small team of under 10 people (importance of teamwork cannot be more emphasized) and got decent exposure to IT side of marketing. Pity that I only got much more involved in the last 2 weeks. Anyway, it was a great experience and I will remember it and learn from it.

Tomorrow marks the start of my final year in NP. Time flies, and now it’s my final year. Finally being able to specialize after studying broad-based business modules for 2 years. Marketing + Psychology, 2 things I am really interested in. For those who know me well should know that I am a very passion-driven type of person. hahaha. NPTT’s management is alot different from the past, and weekly meetings will have to be carried out now too. Gonna be a really exciting year! Looking forward to the future with optimism, excitement and full of drive! (:

“Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Instead, take a chance and aim to make the moment perfect.”

Okay, so results are out and I am relieved but not happy at all. Ironic much, I know.

So this is the end of my Year 2, and come April, It will be my last year in NP already. How time flies. If only time in internship flies so fast huh? hahaha. Year 2 was a fulfilling year, full of ups and downs. OIP Xiamen will forever be a part of me, somewhere deep, deep inside my heart. Year 3 will be a really busy year, and I am determined to do well in anything, everything. I want to end my life in NP, on a high. And before I know it, I will be in army soon. hahahaha. TIME REALLY FLIES.

It feels like all the hardwork previously went to waste in just 1 semester. Relieved but not at all happy with myself. This was a hard fall, one I would never forget. I have fallen so hard I am never going to let myself fall again. But I am going to continue trying, cause I don’t want to let myself, parents or anyone down. I want to be able to look back and say yes, I tried.

“We like people not so much for how we feel about them, but for how they make us feel about ourselves.”

Okay, so my 6 weeks intern started last Monday, and today marks the start of the 2nd week. Colleagues are nice, working environment is pretty relaxed, boss is open and friendly too. The only downside is that I don’t have much work to do and time passes so so slowly. As the company is very IT-based and does web/server designs to provide IT solutions for other companies, we can’t really help much except with web/server testing. Which means we can’t really be exposed to marketing as well because their product isn’t completed. Oh well, hope things get better!

I have realized that studying is actually better than working, for now. We don’t have a choice whether we want to work or not, while we can just say we don’t feel like going to school to study on a particular day. Work is more serious, your job is on the line, and there are way more politics involved. Studying is not as tiring, not as tough, a little stressful at times, but you have awesome friends to be there with you anyway. So yeah. Interning is a good experience, and a learning process for all of us! Shall treasure every moment of it even if it sucks now and then. (:

Oh yeah, I finally created a Tumblr account few days back. Wanted to create one long ago but was afraid it would be too much of a distraction. But it has awesome quotes/pictures/interesting stuff for people to share and enjoy, so yes!   Here’s my link for people who are interested! “http://thatspecialmoment.tumblr.com/” I will still continue blogging on wordpress now and then though. WordPress – long posts, Tumblr – short posts with awesome pictures/quotes! My life is so connected with others and entertaining huh? hahaha. Okay people, spread the love and inspire others! I want to be able to look back and say yes, I did make a significant positive impact on the lives of others. (:

“Find comfort not in holding on to the past, but in realizing that the future is yours to create as you wish.”

Okay, so exams ended already, and this marks the end of Year 2 in NP. It’s been a really tough and tiring semester, but a really interesting one. Making new friends, working with new project mates and all. In a flash, 2/3 of my poly life has passed. !Just hope that my results would be fine this semester. Not expecting too much since I kinda know how I would do already. Hope there will be pleasant surprises? hahaha!

Come April and I will be like Year 3?! So fast final year already ah? hahaha! Even though poly life isn’t as relaxing as people make it seem to be, it has certainly been fruitful and fun!

Anyway, Monday marks the start of my 6-weeks intern, hope the job will be something I really enjoy and be able to get some good work experience!

Ivy’s flying off to Shanghai on 11 March for her 6 months intern, gonna miss her! Hope she does fine there and really enjoy life and whatever she’s going to do there! 6 months is a long long time, independent girl leh! hahaha. Looking forward to Thursday! (:

Tomorrow’s the big game, excited! UNITED ARE SO GONNA WIN. Arsenal/Chelsea/Man City fans cheering for Liverpool just because they don’t want United to win the title are like, OH COME ON. hahaha! Okay, bye!

“Human should learn from waves. Not because they easily raise high but because they leap up again after falling.”

Alright, been rather busy with driving and school work. Final exams are starting this sat. Saturday paper again, why am I not surprised. I have 4 papers, and my exams end on the 4th March. After that, will break for a short while before my 6 weeks internship start on the 7th. Which means I barely have time to relax during this semester break of mine. Sucks, but yeah. And come end April when the new semester starts, I will be a Year 3 student and in my final year. How time flies.

Anyway, I just cleared Stage 2 of driving last week. Will be taking a 3-week break from driving till after exams. Will go for practical lessons only on weekends and maybe Fridays during my internship. Don’t want to tire myself out. Hopefully can get my license by mid May latest? hahaha. Will finally be learning reversing and parking in Stage 3, kinda excited actually. Looking forward! (:

As for now, it’s hardcore mugging for exams and the occasional Fifa 11 to destress! Press on people, freedom is near!

“Fate controls who walks into your life. But you decide who you let walk out, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.”

Finally passed my FTT today! 50/50! Shiokkkkkkkk!

And yeah, passed my FTT and I am done with driving theory. No more studying for driving theory. Super happy when I got the result today. Makes up for all previous FTE failures I guess. hahaha. So now I can concentrate solely on final exams and practical lessons for driving. Yay!

Manchester derby tomorrow. Big big match, could go a long way in deciding the title race. I feel up for it, like totally. And it’s Saturday at last tomorrow! No school, nothing at all, just relax at home. Shiok!

“You never know what you have until it’s gone, but when it doesn’t come back maybe it wasn’t love after all.”

Jap is finally over!

It has certainly been a joy learning jap under Tomoko Sensei. Nice and understanding, ideal type of tutor. I feel a sense of accomplishment to be able to speak and write basic Japanese. hahaha. So gonna miss Tomoko! I still remember not studying for the first jap quiz and end up screwing it up. From then onwards, I studied hard and practiced for every test and quiz, and did well in the end. It’s all about having a positive attitude huh? hahaha.

FTT tomorrow, must pass! Hope everything goes well tomorrow! It will be study break next week, which means final exams are just around the corner, got to mug hard already. Okay, bye!

“You never know what you have lost, until you’re standing in a room with that person, and not being able to call them yours.”

Okay, so I got my 6-weeks internship posting results. Got posted to some IT company called CodeBox at clarke quay area. Interview on Tuesday, hope everything goes well. Wonder what will I get to do there. Shall see. Fion got posted to the exact same company as me as well, lucky much.

It’s CHINESE NEW YEAR! All the best to everyone for the year ahead, and here’s wishing good health for everyone too!

Went visiting on the 1st day of CNY and ate new year goodies and collected ang paos as usual. Played some Blackjack and lost around 20 bucks. You win some, you lose some huh? hahaha.

Gary Neville has announced his retirement from professional football, and what a legend he has been for United. One of the best right-backs around. Time for Rafael to step up and be the next best right-back. Bucketloads of talent and potential there. Come on Rafael!

And it’s finally 5 feb tomorrow, which means Xiamen gathering at long long last! Miss those people a hell lot, got some catching up to do tomorrow! Looking forward to it!

It’s 1 week to my FTT, and I really hope I pass it on my 1st try and get done with theory for driving. Hope Ana and I pass together on that day!

“The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it.”

Finally passed my FTE on my 3rd try this morning, 48/50! Went for practice before that and some questions were repeated in the test. Guess it really helps and I should have gone for practice previously and save a few bucks. Anyway, glad it’s over and done with. Next up, FTT on 11 feb, and after that’s over, I will be done with theory for driving and can focus solely on practical!

Happy Birthday lq! Hope poly life would be awesomely fun and enjoyable for you! I still owe you a meal! hahaha. Meet up really really soon!

It’s still raining non-stop, and the weather is freezing cold. Brrrr. Hope the sun comes up really soon!

“Saying “I’m fine” can mean two things. It can mean you really are fine, or it can mean you’re drastically hurting inside without showing it.”

It’s been raining non-stop for the past few days, and it isn’t doing much to help my mood. Sometimes my mood is slightly affected by the weather, I don’t know why either.

Sometimes, when things seem to be going well and everything seems to be perfect, I always have this fear that something bad will happen. And something bad happened. I just didn’t expect things to turn out this way, and I am just really, really disappointed. The higher the hopes, the larger the disappointment I guess.

I don’t really know what or how to feel right now, but I just hope things do get better. I am tired of feeling inferior and doubting myself, but I can’t help but feel so after what just happened. This feeling sucks, really.

I am not going to give up, not so easily, not just like that.

I can’t afford to fail tomorrow, and I need all the luck I can get. Hopefully things do turn out well for me tomorrow.
