keep believing

And I just have these random things accummulating in my head, that I shall pour out in the same fashion as their nature of being. Random.

I’ve received results for 5 out of my 6 modules, got a pass for each, and I thank God for this. I got pretty decent grades for all except for this one module which was supposed to be the easier one. I barely passed. I guess it’s another lesson on complacency and pride.

When you know about something that you believe is good for you, will you go and enforce it to other people, to those whom you care about? I’ve recently felt this ‘I should have’ moments, where I really regretted not making some friends listen to me. It is too late now. I should learn to take the step to share and to have the urge to convince others, about things that I believe to be good, before things like this happen, before it is all to late..

Making decision is always hard, and I should stop having decisions made for me. I had to make some major decisions the past few days, and I must say I’m proud of myself. I’m now left with getting myself ready to live with the consequences of these decisions.

I’ve canceled my France-Italy-Spain trip which was supposed to make up the main chunk of my traveling plan, and replaced it with little day trips around Switzerland and a week trip up to Stockholm. It took me some time to pray about this and weigh my priorities and many other things. I wish I could have done it sooner and I didn’t have to disappoint anyone, I’m very sorry..

Made up my mind for my Final Year Project topic too. After much consultations and little reading up on the topics, I chose one which seems to be quite challenging. Well..

I didn’t get a room on campus, which came as quite a shock to me. I was expecting to return to my beloved PGP, to the space-constraint and over-heated room, random hang outs with random people, over-priced campus food.. but apparently, they increased the cut-off points for returning exchange students like me. But thank God for my sisters who have been offering me their room, I’m staying off campus with them and Pat this coming semester.

And thank God once again for the many lessons and for things that seem to fall into place.

To answer people who have been asking, again and again, and again: I’ll be back in the little red dot on 20 July!

I was away gobbling the legendary pork knuckle and gulping beer in Munich, acting princess of fairy tales in Neuschwanstein, cam-whoring, reliving history classes, and pigging out in Berlin, touch-and-go-ing in Brussels, and checking out the red light district and coffee shops windmills and museums in Amsterdam. It was a good ten day trip, where we made use of all means of transport (trains, car, bus, tram, bicycle, ferry, plane), where new friendships were developed, things learnt, stomaches filled, and eyes opened.

Thank God for everything that went smoothly. Things could have gone very wrong..
