Goodbye!

Goodbye to my semester, assignments, lab reports, exams and lecturers. It has been a fine semester. Everything went on well. Many people may not think so cause there are incidents where we had a tough time, stay awake late at night, make major decisions and all. But as for me, through many things that are happening, I’ve learnt that life is not always nice, sweet and go our ways. There will be time when we have hardship and struggles. So I am learning to take everything positively, knowing that there is rainbow after the rain. Just last weekend I watched a Lindsay Lohan movie, Just My Luck. Chris Pine was a total looser. He was a super duper ‘unlucky’ guy. However, against all odds, he took everything cool and calm and through it he became skillful and remained happy. I guess that is a better way to live. Not to be so bothered by circumstances, but remain hopeful, optimist and prayerful. Life will be much better.

Hello!   

Hello to my holidays. As this was a short semester, everything ended last week. From now till end of the year, my focus is on my final year project and thesis writing. I know nuts about it so I will have to read up a lot of journals. My title is ‘Nutritional status and food insecurity among preschool/ schoolchildren’. It wasn’t my choice but again, I’m taking it positively. I will need to do an assessment and survey and now I have to select a suitable school. My major problem is timeline. School holiday starts in mid November and therefore school kids will not go to school. So, how am I supposed to do my surveys when respondents are not around? If I wait till next year January, then I will have lots of free time till next year and less time to analyze datas and write my thesis. Isn’t it interesting? I really do not know how should I manage it. As for now, my holidays are uncertain. Because of the time conflict, I can’t have other plans for holiday. I wanted to work though… So, I will keep thinking… the story goes on next time…

Meanwhile, I really enjoyed my holiday so far. Hanging out with friends, shopping, lepaking at malls, chilling out at home, watching movies, getting inspired by McFly, and writing songs again. Wish me luck! Ohya, that day I saw a Jack Russell in Pets Wonderland, Mid Valley. Super cute! But the first one I saw in Taipan in a pet shop more than two years ago was still the most handsome. Hope that it is well taken care of…

Many times we are often carried away by our own thoughts, things and situations around us. We can be so stucked up by our own mind and careless about others. This reminds me why some people are ignorant of things and as if they are only living for themselves. As for now, I think that I am one of those some people. Things laid in front of me seem so huge and they are drowning me under the ground. Well, they are all challenges that everyone has to face. So what is that that is so bothersome?

Life. I am really bothered by my own life. It seems that it is hard to live a life. There is too many things to care about, too much expectations, too many presentations, too many performances. You do not know what will happen if you make this choice, what will happen if you did not make that other choice. Life is full of uncertainties.

Jesus says in Matthew 11, ²⁸"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Jesus says living for him is easy and his burden is light. Jesus cannot be lying, so what he said must be true. I guess the reason I am feeling burdened with life is because I am not living a life with Jesus and not fully depending on Him. Or else it would be easy. What do I do with all the worries and anxieties? 1 Peter 5: 7 - Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

I believe that Jesus’ love never fails. He hears our prayers, He hears our cries. He is always mindful of us who diligently seek Him. He has the best plan ever for our lives. So, Matthew 6:33 - But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Can’t believe that another semester has ended, can’t believe that another round of final exam is coming, can’t believe I sat for quiz today, can’t believe I have no work to rush tomorrow, can’t believe it’s almost end of the year, can’t believe I’m a final year student, can’t believe I’ll be graduating next year...

Wow, everything is so blur now. Time flies. I am not quite sure what I have done yesterday, last week and weeks before. As if my life is bringing me through instead of me living my life. Anyway, that is life!

I have not been writing for some time, very busy. Short semester is like a bullet train. (Pardon me, I have not tried the Japanese’s yet) Time just get a hook on me and everyday is a race, cannot afford to slow down or get a pit stop. My record was sleeping just less than 2 hours before getting up for class again. Anyway, I am getting used to it already. Working at night is really nice. Calm, silent, no disturbance… since I have the whole night, I can just work on my own pace. Yea, I know it is bad for health, too bad!

I will be having 2 months holiday. YES! However, I am not too happy about it. Going to have a hard time… I am supposed to concentrate on my final year project. But it involves school children and since its school holiday, I may most likely be starting my project next year. I hope that I have enough time. So, what should I do then? Part time job? Sleep and get fat? Build puzzle tower? Learn another new skill? Ohya, I wanted to talk more about my thesis, but next time.
