Departing note...

The time is nearing to an end, giving way to a new beginning. I feel like I've emerged from a cocoon once again, new and fresh, ready to face the real world once again. This time I hope I will succeed.  I've really enjoyed my time in this foreign land. It's a place I can call my own and relate to on a personal level because I've spent a part of my life here. I've lived independently, having had the chance to spread out my wings a little and take a flight. But that time is coming to an end and I don't know if I would ever be able to fly freely like this again in my life. Fifty years from now, if I'm still alive,...

My wish... For the 25th time...

Wow! I honestly cannot believe that 25 years of my life has passed! I wonder what I've achieved so far and what I want to achieve from here on. Second time, I'm away from my dear family and friends on this day. I really wish I were back home for turning 25 years old!  It seems like an important birthday. It seems like I have to step on into a new era of my life. I will be finishing my graduate studies end of this year and hope to have a job in my hands at least before March 2013. Life will soon become mechanical and then there are things to do in your life.  I don't know how to get past this milestone. I...

Updates

It's been a month since I was back here in Singapore. It was an awesome vacation! I did have a great time this time. I also have a clearer direction in life right now, like never before. This is something that I didn't expect. I have always been searching for a niche in this life. Now I've found it. But I'm scared I'll grow tired of it. I just hope that my goals get stronger with time. Right now my goal is to finish my foundation course in accounting. Next year, I'll be completing an application to take up professional courses in CPA Australia. I also have to find a suitable job in the accounting or financing industry....

Ranting after a long time!

Hey guys!! Look at me, I'm such a lazy pig! I haven't updated my blog for quite some time!!! Sigh... Well, hope after this entry I'll start updating regularly.  It's been a great semester so far. Things are all falling in place slowly. Now it's finally time for exams and then back to Singapore for the holidays! :) I simply can't wait to get back home! Living away from family and friends is no easy thing. At the same time it has made me realise a lot of things. Living by myself has also given me the confidence to be able to survive on my own. The only difference will be that I will be surviving on my own hard-earned...

Living for my mum...

Education. Is it performing its function properly? I sometimes wonder if the education system today really educates us and makes us a good human being. It doesn't seem to be doing its job.  Today we celebrate Mother's Day. We respect the mothers and celebrate motherhood because of their caring and nurturing qualities! We can forget any person in our lives, but we can never forget motherliness. But is it enough to just respect the mothers? On one hand we respect the mothers. But on the other hand, we have become victims or advocates...

It's been an unbelievably a long time since I blogged and I feel so out of touch from writing. Every time I make a promise to myself to blog regularly, I keep breaking that promise. I really love blogging because I feel good when I look back and see how much I have changed. It's been an amazing journey, especially the past 9 months in Australia! I never thought that I would find myself living alone in a foreign country. It's the kind of opportunity that everyone should get at least once in their life time, just to prove to themselves the worth of family, friends and the familiar home environment that they have taken for...

It's official! I hate smokers!

Source: http://www.whathappenswhenyouquitsmoking.net/tag/smoking-statistics I know... It's too harsh a comment. But it's much needed! I need to get it out of my mind and let everyone know that I utterly hate people who smoke!!  I seriously feel that smoking is a very bad habit, obviously, but at the same time it says a lot about a person and his/her attitude towards life. Even drinking doesn't seem that bad because it only affects you. But smoking not only affects you, but it also harms those around you, especially those...
