One month plus into my awesome job and I've passed my probation period! :) It has been an enriching experience for me in terms of personal development and i'm currently loving what I'm doing! :) Been especially busy cause I dedicated my time to coaching students, preparing them for the final laps of the exam. But it is definitely a crazily fun time because the people around me are awesome, especially miss boss and some of the crazy kids whom bought me on roller coaster ride. I guess I'm really lucky to learn something in such a open culture, and i'm still growing/learning! :D I cried, I smiled and I laughed crazily at the things I've experienced.
Didn't have much of night life now but it's okay! Because no matter what, people whom you valued the most and valued the relationship, will make time for you and vice versa! I'm so glad that crazy girls and family and bf supported me so much yah!
Ain't sure what will the future lies ahead, but I'm definitely enjoying every moments now !

What's your dream?
I had a memorable interview with a cool very bunch of people from a tuition centre and I really really enjoyed it. I feel that I've learnt alot from them during the interviews. Unlike most tuition centres, they are really looking for someone whom they think will fit their culture. Having passed through their first interview, we were asked to do a dreamboard which consists of long term and short term dreams. It's kinda of unique because usually when we go for interview, most of the interviewers would ask about like why you choose this job? I understand that you studied bioengineering,why would you apply for this job? Tell me more about yourself etc etc.
So while preparing my dreamboard for my second interview, I actually spent alot of time penning down my thoughts about my future dreams. Though it may seem unrealistic and I have doubts about achieving it ultimately, every sharing sessions with the interviewers kind of make myself grow as they shared their viewpoints and all. "It does not matter whether you have succeeded in achieving what you want, ultimately it's the process that counts. And when you really did achieve your dream, that sense of satisfaction is totally indescribable."
I know these might sound cliche! But when I heard them telling me this, I really wished I could cast away my doubts and just continue working hard and achieve my long term dream.
I really love the culture over there! Ain't sure whether I could get the job though, cause it seems really competitive! I kept telling myself, "its okay, even if I don't get in, at least I've learnt alot from them through the interview" though I still secretly hoping that I could get a call from them by the end of this week!
Start thinking about what is your dream and start penning them down! In any case, "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life"

2013
It's 2013 , a new year, a new beginning. No wonder many people say once a person hit 21 years of age, time really flies after that. It seems to me that another year have passed so quickly that 2012 has become 2012+1 !
Doubt there's any reader now since I have not been active blogging for the past year. Haha. Got too lazy and the only time I blogged last semester was due to commitment for ES2007S module! Somehow I have the itch to express my random thoughts today.
Have you wondered whether you are of a better person or a happier person each day? Somehow I feel that as I grow older, I do not feel that I am a happy person. My grandparents' passings have impacted me so much. It was the first time I really experienced death of my closed ones, it was a double blow I would say.
My deepest regret last year was not being able to spend time with my granddad before he passed away. It was a sudden one because I didn't expect him to leave us, leave me so soon. I fondly remembered how he used to buy paper lanterns for me and sister during Mid-Autumn Festival when we were young. And how I always know that he will buy roasted duck whenever he comes to visit our family. And how lucky and smiley he was when he played blackjack with the relatives because he will always win a lot and will increase his bet each round. And how he will call me "Xiao Mei" though I wasn't the youngest in the family. For my grandma, she has suffered a lot all these years, after suffering from stroke and all. Though I was not considered as one of her favourite grandchildren when I was young, I remember how we will always find almond jelly in the refrigerator and it was the grandchildrens' favourite dessert after meal. And how she came over to visit me when I was admitted to hospital and she bought stuffed toy bear for me. Though she could not communicate to us for years, it tugged my heartstrings when she pulled and adjusted herself ,leaning on me for support on our way back from grandpa's funeral.
In the recent days, I feel that my parents are really getting older, with signs of more obvious wrinkles painted on their faces, how vulnerable they are now to age-degenerative diseases. My dad's eczema and doctor recently diagnosed that mum is having retinal tear as she kept seeing floaters on her right eye.
So for 2013, I hope my loved ones will remain healthy. And me, being a worry-wart, to be less negative and be braver in facing any new challenges ahead.
