Graduation is just around the corner~~~
It's a good thing, no? Or is it really a sad thing? 3 years have felt like just 1 month. But in the past 3 years I have changed and grown mentally, psychologically and spiritually. Physically, I've slimmed down by quite a bit since 3 years ago. Yay me!
I have changed my perspective on life, my knowledge has increased--from those that I have acquired from my lecture notes, to those at my workplaces (internship and temp job workplace); from CCA activities and sitting on an Executive Committee to interacting with people I meet physically and online. I have definitely matured and I have been tremendously blessed with many experiences that have molded me into who I am today.
True, not all my bad habits have been broken: I have even acquired some new ones along the way, unfortunately. Nevertheless, I have learnt to take every day of my life as a learning opportunity and a day to appreciate the things in life, be it big or small, significant or insignificant, material or intangible.
My poly life has been thoroughly enriched by family and friends, teachers and acquaintances, haters and strangers; but most of all, God has made the last 3 years in this institution of education worth while. He has strongly impacted my life in times of jubilation and in times of strife. He has placed people, incidents and things in my life that have shaped me into a better person than when I graduated from Secondary School. Without all of these, I would probably not be able to type this out now. Thank You very much from the bottom of my heart.
Friends and family, thank you for being there for me, and for showing me the true meaning of life in each of your special ways. Friends and teachers, thank you for being there for me. You may have interacted with me for just a few days, a few months, a year or even more, but you have nonetheless changed me for the better. You have taught me the true meaning of friendship and learning, and certain people have taught me how to trust. I am deeply grateful for meeting you, and may we continue to keep in touch.
Haters, I forgive you, even though sometimes it is extremely hard to not curse you and hate you back. I thank you for teaching me patience and anger management. I pray that I will be able to stay strong morally, and I hope that we could be able to make up for the hate that runs deep in our relationship.
I have too many things to type in one post, so I'll most likely continue in the next post.

It's the final lap till I become a (temporarily) free bird!
It's exciting but scary at the same time, because it made me very aware how fast time flies. It'll be a long break till the next step in education, and I hope that I can make the most out of this long break to accomplish much and reconnect with friends and loved ones. Maybe I'll take this time to discover myself, but travelling alone is not an option. I'll keep that in mind, but in the future perhaps.
In the meantime, I can't wait for 16.5 hours to pass! ^^

Diamonds
There will always be people who get upset by your actions.
People will disappoint you, and be disappointed by you.
It may be their fault, it may be yours, or it may be everyone's fault, but they'll point their fingers at you.
People may ignore you or forget you, either because you bore them, or because you are unimportant to them.
People, at least one of the 6.1 billion people living on this earth, will hate you to the core.
But that doesn't mean that you have to give up completely.
When the world turns against you, it's not the end of the world. It will be a period of trials and tribulations. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, and surely there's nothing on this earth that will be too hard to the point where it kills you. Well, in the physical sense, there may be, but other than that, I don't think so.
Any period of difficulties would be like the intense and sweltering heat, immense pressure and achingly long periods of time that carbon undergoes. Almost worthless carbon--the kind that is mixed with clay to make pencil leads, the kind that when compact fuels flames. Yes, carbon, under all those extremes, emerges forth as a raw diamond. After which, it is mined out, cut and polished with great care and intricate detail, to become the jewel of all jewels, and all bask in its expensive, glorious and sparkling beauty.
We are all diamonds in the making. I hear of many of my coursemates wanting to quit school when it is the middle of our very last term in Poly. Why the low determination? I'm also going through the same tough times as you, I complain too, but I know that it's just the final league of the marathon that we all have been labouring through for the past close to 3 years.
Why give up now, diamonds in the rough? You're only just a polish and cut away to being a masterpiece.

CTs are over...
Well most of them anyway.
Still have to tackle 1 more when school reopens, 6 projects to complete and 2 interviews to prepare for. Also need to think of what to cover for the ED individual oral presentation. Oh, and the CAC Comm Selection Camp to plan and prepare for.
But the last would be a form of destressing, as well as Christmas. The only 3 days where I can relax.
Oh well, work hard now, reap the rewards later. (:
Go, girl.
