yet another day of memories...
And 2006 has been quite interesting for me. =]
I am normally adverse to telling people all the blessings I have;
For fear that I will lose them..
Yes, I am quite superstitious when it comes to such stuff
After all, I still want my blessings!
But after realising that the year hasn't been just all good..
I reckon its quite safe to share. =]
The bad.. you have heard, from my last entry.
For once, I am only doing 4 modules..
Sigh.. i hope i can do as well as I did in previous semesters;
And that doing less modules is not equals to doing less studying
Another change that I thought was bad..
is that my student had shifted house.. again!
And its to a super ulu, on-top-of-a-slope flat.
Not kidding.. there is no direct bus service in, and I got to walk pretty far
About 10 to 15 minutes walk from the bus stop..
Which is okay if I am not carrying my laptop..
And it ain pouring. =[
Lucky for me..
It hasn't poured when I made my first attempt today
And guess what, I got a fee-raise for the extra "trouble"
Frankly, it's not the cash that is the blessing,
It just feels good that my effort is recognised.
Although the cash certainly helps =]
So counting my blessings:
1. Fee-raise plus one recommendation to another prospective student's parent =]
All these extra cash goes alot to help for my projected expenditure in the next few months.
2. Advanced tuition fees =] I got my first payment today, even though it's my first lesson of the year..
and I din even ask for it!
3. The feel-good feelings that came with the first tuition of the year.
A good start abodes well!
Apart from all these,
I have managed to complete all my New Year clothes' shopping!
Maybe I am just less choosy,
But I am very very satisfied with all the items I got this year. =]
And not forgetting, the most drastic change in my appearance so far..
Hehz.. my hair!
I got it dyed last Friday..
A shocking attention grabbing colour!
I really din planned for that..
I just trusted the teacher at the salon
And it turned out like this
Sadly.. a few washes have dimmed the colour..
In my opinion.. a little disappointing
In Mom's opinion, it looks better
Less wild in her words,
So if you guys see me now,
Pls tell me honestly what you think.
And just some reflections in retrospect:
I am glad for everything that has happened this year
I want to always remember to be thankful for the things that happen
Good or bad.. having strength to see them through is the most important.
And I want to tell everyone who is around me
Thank You so much for your presence.
And thanks for allowing me to grow the way I want;
To explore the stuff that I need to,
And to develop as what I am.
I have no regrets as to what I did last year..
And the decisions I made. =]

Dreams
To be out and open
Independence
To be totally Christ-like
I believe that:
Courage is not an absence of fear
but the willingness to face up to the circumstances in spite of the fear.
