Quiz was over in like 5 mins.
Turns out its 10 MCQ
And some were a lil tricky
But on the whole,
It's still managable.
Prof ran through the quiz answers
Right after collection.
Got 9 out of 10.
The old me would be upset that I din get the Perfect Ten
But strangely,
I am at peace.
I am thankful for being able to do the test.
And most amazingly,
one of the questions that came out
was EXACTLY what I raised in class before quiz.
Was debating before that to ask or not.
And somehow I just did.
*Amazed*

Me myself included
Never have I wanted a quiz so much to come
Never would I have been so happy to hear that I have a quiz =)
But oh well,
I prepared for it last week
To the extent I actually chose not to work
Then it din happened
*bummed
Yesterday I had to work
So I could only revise the extra chapter taught last week
At night.
Spent some time studying it on Sunday,
But the weekend was so packed
I barely had sufficient time.
So planned to study last night
But was so tired,
The deductions did not make sense at all.
Slept at 1
Then woke up at 7 to study.
Din get to practise and memorise til 4 just now
Finally break is going to be over,
And quiz is going to happen
As Prof announced!
*Yay =)
And I am not scared..
Cuz I studied and I know God is with me =)
Oh yes,
For those who read my last post,
Do go try Tornado at Swensons.
Ask for it! =)

and by the looks of the 1st month,
if it's anything to tell abt the other 11,
Then I guess I am in for a long long ride.
School has been great.
4 weeks and I already have the rest of the year mapped out.
*kinda
Internship from April to Aug
and hopefully the exchange from Aug to Dec.
For those interested,
Yours truly will be doing a tax and audit internship
In a small firm.
*Guess I am wanting something new.
No more big-firm, nor welfare organization.
Family-wise, I have been lying low since the last encounter.
Hopefully things don't blow out of proportion.
Unlikely, now that New Year is coming..
Lots of distraction for my mom.
Cos normally my parents have multiple arguments abt spring-cleaning.
It's like an annual happening that you just can't miss =P
Job-wise, I am now working in school;
Taking on P&G at a flexi-day basis
& also teaching tuition.. Again!
My student, whom I lost to
"market forces of cheaper labor in other country"
Has come back to me =)
So yepz, God has been good to me.
While there are faith-challenging moments in life,
There are also faith-sustaining ones which holds me through.
And yes, not forgetting social-life.
Finally met up with Jo, Mel & best junior
Best Junior bought me this huge circle of chocolate back from India;
And even treated me to ice-cream at Swensons.
She wanted to treat me to Tornado,
But nah, I am nice enough to ask for something cheaper..
Though most of you would prefer Tornado ya? =P
And yes, yours truly has decided to go for a prim & proper look
I have dyed my hair in a more toned down;
more subdued chocolate colour.
No more bright gold
No more red hair..
On a up, in the ups & downs,
Luv,
Cyn

You have happy memories;
but you learn to shed your innocence.
I grew up being cynical,
Humans are too complex to trust easily.
But slowly I learn to love;
And accept.
I learnt to give others space as I grow,
Knowing that they too need to grow.
I learnt to accept
Yes, we are different;
We don't have to be the same.
You have the space to be You.
It is then a struggle
When people don't give me the space to be me.
Expectations of who i should be and what I shd do.
Mom, I am lesbian.
While I accept that you are homophobic
And will love me less because you think i am imperfect
Being gay,
I struggle to accept
that I don't have the space to be who I truly am.
I am not going to mould myself into the cast you set for me.
I want to be what God wants me to be.
If I am to be straight, let it be God's will and plan.
Let Him tell me and mould me.
In growing up, i learn that there are tradeoffs
Something to be obtained
Implies something to be given up.
Could it be then that to have the space I need,
To protect myself from hurt,
and to preserve my own sanity,
I need to be away from the family?
Could it be
that I need and should move out?

Strangely, it felt no different from other days.
Of course I did not wake up expecting big changes;
Nor did I expect to be transformed.
Still, a new year,
a new beginning.
Cliched, but I always liked it.
While I intended to spend some time dwelling on 2006,
writing about its ups and downs,
I changed my mind.
It's over and I have to look forward.
In 2007, I have dreams to pursue;
KPIs to achieve;
And of course resolutions to fulfill.
I never believed in resolutions,
but lemme indulge in 1 this 2007.
My resolution: To be less than 5 min for everything.
I can see it being unfulfilled many times..
But I am still going to try.
At least minimise it, or put in an effort to fulfill it.
While thinking of the dreams to pursue,
and the KPIs to hit,
I am reminded yet once again
Of my capability as a moral being.
Or rather, my limitations.
I guess to pursue one,
Often implies a sacrifice of another.
So to those who have expectations of me,
And somehow they run in conflict of what I chose to pursue,
Forgive me,
And I hope you will understand.
Someone said,
"If they are real friends, they would understand"
I hope this year in 2007,
I will find that many of you are real.

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.
Desires
A Pair of Pretty Sandals!
CPA! Achieved!
Investment Guru
dislikes
creepy crawly "things"
Unnecessary politics
Goals
get driving license
start my own business
to create my own hedge fund
