2012.

Last Day of 2012.
Gloomy Rainy Day.

Abundance of warmth within.
Bright future awaits.

2012.
The time where the world was supposed to come to an end. 21-12-2012 3pm?
The Mayans were wronged, and somehow all the sciences and technology seem to show that life will still carry on on the 22nd of Dec.
A deep part of me however did questioned how then do tsunamis and floods and natural disasters escape these detection tools and still occur. Could the end actually happen?
It did not. Life goes on. I am counting down tonight and I'm looking forward to next year.

Internship at GIS. Cancer Lab. 
Graduated.
5-month stint TTSH MAP. Same duration as my internship. On paper it may look like just another internship. It wasn't. I was blown away with the experience. The people created the desire to be hungry again. I made friends who I really enjoyed their company. I learned from the layers of experiences of the directors.  At the same time an idea dawned upon me. And I decided that I was still young. And I can still be foolish enough to take a risk. A risk that can put me back a few years back behind my peers, a gamble that can really backfire; Or a risk that can promise me the depth of knowledge that I've always been interested in, get to enjoy what I enjoy doing daily. Get to speak to people. Get to know people. And to be given the flexibility to plan my time, my life, and my trips. It's paving the way to my interests, eating and traveling,  and I know, I would not be able to take another similar shot in another half a year or 2 years time.
And so I took a leap of faith.

Come 2013.
Be hungry to succeed. (job)
Be thirsty for knowledge. (human development)
Be ready to make my presence known to the world.
Be humble.
