The beginning of the last semester

Yeah, school has started. So far it's been alright. Normal I guess, lectures as usual. It'll all soon pick up pace as we go into week 3 onwards. I must say that my modules are as interesting as ever...interesting is one thing by the way. Difficulty is the other. After looking back at almost 3 years of university life, I must say that my love for psychology has never once wavered. Which I thank God for. It reassures me that psych is what I want and what I can see myslef applying next time when I go out there to work. Many of my friends are getting a little stressed up over graduation, whether they can do honours or should they just file for graduation this semester. Well, it is a serious decision especially when you're kind of approaching the end of your tertiary education. For me, I've just filed my graduation today. Yeah, going to get a BA end of this semester. Somehow in me, I feel that it is God's plan for me to do honours in Aussie. I mean, In Aussie, psychology is so much more established and ya, all my life in NUS I've always admired people who've been on SEP. They come back with awesome stories about their time spent in Canada, UK, Korea, Germany etc. And I remember hearing them all and telling myself that is it indeed a great experience to go for SEP. Really and eye-opener. Well I guess God has been gracious to me. My honours year will be spent in Australia and I'm definitely going to treat it as my very own SEP. I want to start 2011 right, being a good student is not really what I'm aiming for. More like, wanting to treasure everything I can about NUS, friendships, FCBC and of course, the one and only Singapore. Time seems to fly pass me and I entered into 2011 without even realising it. Amazing isn't it? I know that it's going to be a year of great change, and sometimes when I think about it, it is as if my heart can barely take it. It's like exciting, yet fearful, happy, yet sad. Looking forward is something that my papa has always taught me. He told me to never regret doing anything as that's part of life. Part of growing up. I agree with him. My policy is that, whatever that your heart has set out to do, do it to the best of your ability. Why? 1) It pleases God, it's worship to Him (coz He gave you His very best) but 2) So that you know that you'll have no regrets. Whatever the outcome maybe you'll just have to accept and learn from it, take it as an experience. Don't have any regrets, coz you've already done your very best.

Not esay, but possible.

One more thing, after a while, I feel CAP or GPA doesn't really matter. I mean, not that one should heck care about it, you should definitely aim high and still work hard. But I mean, you shouldn't let it dictate how good or smart oyu are. Coz it's not accurate. I mean 4.06 is just, ya 4.06. That doesn't mean you're not a good student. I don't know, but I strongly do not believe in that. Sadly, most students in NUS do not think the likewise. Anyway, it's gettign late, I'm turning to my bed now. Take care peeps.

Countdown 2011+ Lunch at Serene's house + Hiking + Updates

Guten Abend Leute. Wow, have quite a few stuff to give thanks for and also to update you about. Let's start with countdown on 31st Dec. Had an awesome day at jo's house again. Arrived at around 11am. Wir spielen X-box und Karten. We played X-box and card games, yeah, some of the girls loved monopoly deal. Wir haben Pizza gegessen. Ich finde, es ist sehr lecker. We ate pizza for lunch, had a nice time introducing the girls more to Louis. Then, it's movie time. Watched 'I am Sam' (I cried like MAD!) and Step Up 3. Not too bad. Then jo came back. Did a short thanksgiving session with everybody and off we go for dinner. It was a simple dinner at a hawker centre, soon, we set off for tct for countdown. By the time monkey and i got back home, it was already close to 2am. Very tired, feeling a little sick, but yet, I just can't help it but to thank God for a wonderful time. I'm glad that I was able to spend time with some of my darls, to cross the new year worshipping God together. 

After service on 2nd Jan, the special project people procceeded to Serene's house for a lunch treat. It was my first time going to her house. It is beautiful. Everything looks so new. Ja, sehr sher neu und schön. Ate Pizza again, had a nice time chatting with Serene and her husband. Really thank God for such awesome people. Watched a bit of Harry Potter (was trying to explain to some of them the story). Reached home around 6plus...

Today 4th Jan, went on an awesome hiking trip with my darls (Izzah, Jona, Jeanna and Kester). Can you believe it? We started at Kent Ridge Park, to Hort Park, to Henderson Wave, to Mt Faber, finally to Vivo city. Took around 3hrs plus...did a lot of jump shots...talked, laughed. haha Ate luch (more like tea) at vivo and we talked and talked and talked (the topic was on KIDS!!) The thing I like about them is that we can talk about anything and everything for hours! haha went zara after that, reached home around 7pm.

All in all, I must say that I've been blessed :) Thank you Father for making the weather so beautiful for us today. It didn't rained till we've finished our hike. You have brought me so much joy and fun as I entered 2011. Tmr I'll be spending time with my awesome 3 ladies (Joy, Rui Qi and Skeen). These 3 ladies are awesome people who also always bring so so much joy to me :) Thank you for giving me so much before entering back to school. I know that it's going to be a great year this year. Just so excited to see your plans unfold. Use me, I want to be part of it.
