Happy new year ppl! I know it's a little late, but still...

Nothing much happened over the past weeks. Just work, school and usual boring visitations. I'd rather be the visited than the visitor but i doubt that'll happen anytime soon.

There's like too many things to do in no time at all. There's the usual work where i've got 5 jobs on hand and everything's getting a tit bit too crazy. School where local lectures have not even started and will only commence next week and project due dates are all falling out too soon in 2-3 weeks and then there's the mid-sem tests in a month. I've not even started studying! Then there's music theory class where i'm supposed to memorise all the italian & russian terms and all the key signatures by tonight and i've not even started memorising yet. I'm gonna go insane a little too soon.

It'll be a long day today. Gonna go visit uncle Winston & uncle William's house, rush to school in clementi for lecture at 2pm and after that rush to Hougang for theory class.

I'm suppose to do songs for the kinder class in church for the month of Feb and i've not choosen any songs for tomorrow's class yet! I've no idea how i'm gonna murder myself.

My apologies for abadoning the blog for the past week. Was just so caught up in everything, both school and work that i've no time and energy left to blog.

There's still one more post birthday meal with the colleagues on Wednesday. Couldn't make it before my birthday because of time conflict i guess.

I'll be officially 21 in a matter of 30 min!! It's too fast, really too fast.

It really has been a frazzled week for me. Work in the day, school at night 3 days in a row for the first three lectures of each module. I can bearly keep myself awake at work and have cans of nescafe mocha piled on my table in case of emergency - when i can't keep myself awake any longer. The first three lessons for Small Business And The Accountant is over and done with, there's still Corporate Accounting and Company Law to sit through and hopefully i would have already gotten used to it.

I've moved work station again - to the side of the other unit. Prefer it better as it's more closed up, a much better place to stone. The people at the unit that i'm currently in use speakers to play their music softly instead of ear plugs, so i borrowed a spare Eeyore speaker from my colleague as i guess it'll be more fun than always being plugged in.

I've been pretty bleary especially this week and things gets even the more arid and so i went messing around with my [borrowed] Eeyore speaker.

And as the day dragged on...

Alright, it's 12mn now, happy birthday to me! I'm officially 21!!

I guess i've just got to face up to reality that i'm an adult now.

May God bless me with many fruitful years ahead.

I am seriously in search and in need of strength. For the past few days and the next few days to come, it had been and will be a 7am to 2am days.

Attended 2 church services on Sunday. My brother was receiving the edusave award in the morning so the parentals and the brother were only able to attend the evening worship. I had to help out at the kinder class from January to March so i had to come in the morning. I didn't want to have dinner at home, so went back to church in the evening for service after my birthday lunch with Pei Yin and Yun Jie at Vivo City.

After dinner went home to print the remainder of the notes for this week's lectures til almost 2am. Woke up at 7am yesterday to shower in hoping that it'll wake me up a bit more. Was kind of stoning half the time at work and first day (or rather night) of school officially started after that. Reached home at 12am, shower again and slept at almost 2am..again.

This morning woke up to shower and off to work. I skipped the stoning process and went straight to dozing off at the 11am mark. Now it's 12.30am and still waiting for my hair to dry so it'll probably won't be another hour to bed time. Tomorrow morning should try going back to showering in cold water. I've no idea what i'm gonna do at work tomorrow. I'll probably be following Mag by sleeping with my eyes wide open.

Jun Ai, it's now my turn to bully and your fault to take for influencing me to shower so many times..haha! Jk jk.

I am so in need of a rest day and i hope 1 will come real soon!

So well guys, hope y'all enjoy school this semester.

Am keeping myself awake now helping Jun Ai get mentally prepared for her upcoming scholarship interview on Tuesday by bombarding her with sample interview questions and my own made up answers not even sure if they'll be good enough. So while waiting for her in-between replies through msn, decided to come write up 1 more entry before i go to bed.

1 year has passed like *snap* and i'm getting real scared of how fast time is ticking away. Come to think of it i've achieved so much more in 2008 than i did in 2007 especially in the second half of the year.

The last semester was my first ever working-study combo and it has been tough. Skipping dinners on school nights and stuff, finding strength and time to study and catch up with school work with any available time that i could spare. It was horrible going through studying for exams because there was not a lot of time incorporating studying into working schedule. All i learnt from this is to always have trust and faith which i failed quite miserably in this aspect but praise the Lord on how He carried me through exams given the little faith i had in Him and myself which i am charged as guilty. That is definitely 1 aspect that i should and will make an effort to improve on this coming semester.

This holiday didn't feel like a holiday at all, not the slightest bit. I'm even wondering where my holiday drifted off to. Even though i didn't have as much time as i would like for myself this holiday, but it was definitely a really fulfilling one. The activity that really made an impact on me is the Wangsa Maju mission trip. Even though it was only for 8 days, it was definitely a very fruitful 8 days. I made new friends, a really good friend out of the new friends, learnt a whole lot especially to be grateful for anything and everything, being humble, the achievements that i receive from stepping out of my comfort zone and so much more. I grew a whole lot spiritually and in my faith and i guess i'm not as invisible in church as i used to be anymore. I used to find going to church a routine, a way of life. But now, i realise that i'm going to church because i want to, not because i have to. It just makes so much of a difference. I'm really proud of how far i could push myself and definitely hope to strive even further for this coming year.

Hope y'all have an awesome year ahead and God bless!

Happy New Year to all!!
I know i'm a bit late and all but still, happy new year to all.

I know i'm supposed to post pictures but i'm kind of caught up in my birthday celebrations, granny's birthday celebration and preperation of school that i've not much of an energy and time left to be posting pictures. As such, i've decided to post a summary of pictures of each event only after my birthday so one shot all up.

The last couple of days were crazy and i reckon the next couple of days will be too. This is probably the only day when i get my day off to come blog.

So let's see what had happen during the past week and what is to come for the coming week.

29th December - Monday -> Work
30th December - Tuesday -> Work, drop by youth camp at night
31st December - Wednesday -> Back home from youth camp aft lunch, granny's birthday dinner at night
1st January - Thursday -> Church planning day in the morning, lunch at spegheddies with church friends, 5hrs non-stop shopping after that
2nd January - Friday -> Guitar class + (extra) Theory class, 3 movie marathon and dinner at New York New York with Yan Lin at downtown east.
3rd January - Saturday -> Off in the day, theory class at night
4th January - Sunday -> Church in the morning (will be teaching kinder bible class for the next 3 months), lunch with Pei Yin & Yun Jie, probably go back to church for evening service with the parentals and the brother
5th January - Monday -> Work in the day, class at night
6th January - Tuesday -> Work in the day, class at night
7th January - Wednesday -> Work in the day, class at night
8th January - Thursday -> Work in the day, tentative dinner with colleagues at night
9th January - Friday -> Work 1/2 day, guitar class in the afternoon, official birthday dinner with the family at night

It'll be a crazy crazy 2 weeks and thank God school did not start yesterday if not i'll go crazy a little too soon.

I guess that's it then. Gotta go back to printing my course notes.
