joLted to my senses...
Yr 3 SEm 1, into week 4.
Oh dear... 1 month into the sem and I've so much on hand undone. piLEs of readings, lec, tuts and textbOoks are still waiting for me. To add on to the heavy content, I have 3 bOoks on hand to finish: ANgels and demons which I'm totally in love with, Secrets of a millionaire and obama's biography.
Attended 2 workshops for the past week: Resume writing and interview workshops.
And I never knew how much preparedness one needs to do before seeking a job. Totally enlightened by the 2 instructors who taught us the secrets and techniques of making our resume stand out among the many thousands applicants.
iT was an awesome and enriching week for me because I finally understood what is required of me to land myself in the dream job tt i"m seeking for. And it's never too late to start gaining experiences for the competencies required in your future job.
It's time to revamp my resume which is so dead and not concise. Subsequently, it will be to take action and source for internship opportunities. I need to be more pro-active in building up my experiences!
So MUCH to do yet so little time! I must JIA YOU, JIA YOu, JiA YOu! =)

The Penultimate Year: the yr of change!!!
SCHOOOL STARTED AND i'M INTO THE 2ND WEEK OF YR 3 SEM 1!
tHE 1ST 2 YeaRS HAD beeN practically a honey moon for me. getTing involved in FOCs, CCAs meetIng and TKD trainings and havIn a hall on campus to laze my days and nights away without fretting about waking up early in the morning just to beat the morning crowd on trains.
My life has turned upside down with effect from YEAR 3 SEM 1. NO more hall but the comfort of a home to turn to when I'm tired after a day (4 hrs of journey on the train and buses + 3 or > hrs of schOOling)! haha anD i wiLl be seeing HY like more than my famIly coS shE'll be my companion on my "journey to the west" to collect scriptures daily! BUt it's betta than nothing at least we have each other to talk to on the lOng and tiring journey. i'm thankfuL that SG is merely a red dot and not as big as China where we have to take ages to travel from one end to another.
aCADEMICALLy-wise, I realLy hope to "level up" and attain a second-upper degree in 2 years time! my future depends on it and i have to be more pro-active in learNIng and being world-wise. Intentions for overseas exposure and internships are brewing and I really hope to do my utmost besT to pursue my interests in the SG toUrism INdustRy and the bOOming cHINA. I shALL stUdy smarT and not sTUdy too hard in the rigid waY~ aja aja fIGHTINg!!!
ANd after beiNg troUBled for the past 2 weeks over my sparselY scattered 5 day week timetable,I've managed to change it to a 4 day one! yAy frI wiLL bE freE!!! but nOt for entertainmenT alwaYS. iT shaLL be my sTUDy day cuM prOJ day cum relAx daY! noW, I have more reasons to LOOk forward to TGIF and greater motivations to spur me on during scHool days....

tHE flashbacKS of my 21st: a mini- affair >>>
reaLLY can't believe thaT I'm already 21 yrs and 17 days old!!!=X
celEbrated my 21st @ costa sanDs chaLet with different grps of friends( sec, jC and uni!!!) between 3rd-6th AUG and it was really a memorable and unforgettabLE one due to the haPPy and bad moments that ensued.
I tried to have a different celebration this yr compared to my prior ones which were usually celebrations over some dinner or entertainment. AT leaST it worked out finE and i'm gLAd to have spEnT it in a fuN and coSy way with grEAt coMPANies.
All was well on the first 2 days of celebratIon until the 3rd night when we had a combined celeBration for Yiming and me. The culprit was none other than the BBQ food catered which landed half of us with food poisoning. What was supposed to be a heaRty celebraTion for 2 girls turning 21 turned disastrous when the bday gal and her family started to complain of vommiting and nauseousness at night. One by one, the other two started to experience the same symptoms and we had no choice but to call off the night activity and sent one of them to CGH in the middle of the night. BEing the one who initiated the idea of a chaLet, I realLy felT guilty to have landed my guests in such agony.=X
Despite the complainTS made to the BBQ caterer,the only irresponsible response we got from that was just a mere apology which really didn't help in our circumstances. HopefuLLy, thE NEA will do us some justice or else the phobia that we've developed thereafter this incident would really haunt us on.

it"S now or never...
God gave us one life. Either you live it to the fullest and treasure every moment lived or regret when it's too late...
I chose the former.
iF you want to live to the fULLESt, start by making a difference to every single individual. U'll never know how impactful u'll be until u tried. ~aJa aJA, fiGHTing HUI LIN!!!=)
Just some thoughts to share abt life after so much that had happened in JUL...
The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud. In order to grow and gain wisdom, first you must have the mud --- the obstacles of life and its suffering. ... The mud speaks of the common ground that humans share, no matter what our stations in life. ... Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one
