Overworked student who has constant bad hair days. Make that bad hair life!

I dabble in outdoor instruction when I'm not making war with schoolwork... and will always be a full-time klutz while I'm at it, but hey, that's what the harnesses are for right? I hope to be a Starbucks barista at least once in my life; green aprons, coffee making machines and people who make good coffee appeal to me! I also enjoy meeting new people, good food, writing and being constantly inspired.

What about you?

My last school semester in Temasek Polytechnic begins on Monday, because all too soon, my 3 month internship with M/s M & N has come to a close this week. "Expect the unexpected" has been the story of my life and the closure of this chapter this past Thursday will simply be another addition to that mantra. I will always be thankful that I sent that email on a whim, that everywhere else sent me a rejection email, and that I never got any other offer from any other firm/company save for this one, however ironic that may seem to be.

Few places accept people the exact way they are, and I am lucky to have chanced upon such a place. I met people who restored my belief in the many things which I have long forgotten and given up on, met people who affirmed the things I currently believe in, and met people who didn't scoff at my ideals. These very same people took time off their extremely hectic lives to invest in mine, held my hand, made these 3 months a turning point in my life, and told me to "chase your dream". I take away as much as I have given, and I cannot put into words how much comfort and warmth these 3 months have provided me with.

Good things truly do come in small packages after all.

In the face of death, all my problems and worries of the present are as always, diminished to the littlest of importance. Rest in peace my friend, for you have run a tough race, fought the good fight, and now it's time to rest for eternity.
13th-Sep-2009 02:24 pm - "Effort, commitment...
...& sometimes you just need to persevere lah, hmmm?" are some simple words of wisdom my mentor has chosen to bestow upon me so far. Howdy everybody, internship officially started a few days ago, on the 9th of September 2009... and the only thing i have to say about it right now & have chosen to believe to date, as Albus Dumbledore so aptly articulated in Harry Potter (or rather, J.K. Rowling);

"It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices."

You now see above one of the happier moments in my life, in all that time I've been missing from this quaint journal of mine. Much has happened once again while I did my disappearing act; & "I get by with a little help from my friends" has never rung so true than these days. Another semester has also up and left, and all I'm left with in this polytechnic journey are a mere 8 months. Afterwhich, if everything goes well, I will graduate in April 2010.

I hope all these paths i've been weaving in my mind as to what I'm going to be doing after graduation will not just be made of cotton candy & will disintegrate with this impending reality every grown adult seems desperate to ingrain in my mind. I hope everyday that they will actually materialize, I pray everyday that they will & I work hard everyday so that they have a chance of doing so, no matter how small the possibility. While it is important to remain grounded, most of us are empty shells w/o what we dream of... I am the same!

Time has not been the only one that has up and left; a very recent passing of a dear friend & coursemate has left many of us gobsmacked, hurt, lost & scrambling for each other in hope for the least bit of support we can find. It would be pretentious to associate myself closely with her as all we previously were were campmates & that was all to our brief friendship; but I remember her for the energy and zest she possessed for everything coming her way. It has been a little more than a week since her passing & my thoughts are with her loved ones.

Have a pleasant journey Nicole L., we're always thinking of you. I will remember you most distinctly for laughing at me when I missed buses... no, don't even think for a second that I'm going to forget! I'll settle that score the next time I see you. Be safe and happy now sleeping beauty, rest in peace (:
