You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

I must apologize to all my dear readers for being on hiatus for a week. I think this is definitely the longest period of time I did not get to blog. For all who were concern enough to ask, thank you, I really appreciate your concerns. I am doing fine and well. It is just that this has been the most exhausting week, emotionally, mentally and physically for me.
The main reason why I could not blog was because I could not get connected to the internet the whole week. Now my brothers computer is able to but my laptop is still unable to go online and it sucks! I have so many assignments to be done online and I just cannot live without the internet. Since I have not been able to blog, I have not been able to express and write out my jumbled thoughts and its making me feel disconnected and messy. Its weird but I find blogging a great way for me to de-stress and express, so not being able to do that for a week really sucked for me.
Like most of you know, I just moved. It is weird because even though my room is much bigger, nicer and installed with an air con, it still does not feel like home yet to me. I have not had the time to just sit and being at home. On Sunday I was busy unpacking and cleaning the house especially my room as I had a lot of assignments due this week and next week and I wanted to get myself organized as soon as possible. Monday onwards, I have been leaving home early in the morning and coming home at night. Except for SI, I have not watched tv all week. Furthermore, I am not too fond of the toilet too because it is so much smaller than my previous toilet. You know you have to be comfortable with the toilet. If not you will feel disconnected somehow.
The journey! I have been guilty of cursing about this all week. My house is so far away from the train station that the journey there is at least 20 minutes without any traffic jams. This does not include the time spend waiting for the bus to come. Oh, by the way, there is only 1 bus to my place. Because of this, journey to school will take almost 2 hours and that is a total of 4 hours spend on traveling to and fro each day. I am still not adjusted to this inconvenience yet, in fact I am not sure if I will ever get used to this! The people at home have been lacking in understanding particularly because I am the only person in the house who travels using public transport! It sucks!! Big time!! I mean, go experience waiting for the bus and then come back and tell me I will get used to this!
On Wednesday was a really bad day for me. All the things that can go wrong, eventually did went wrong. This was what happened.
- Woke up late, rush to the train
- Ended up being early to class
- Went to the wrong place, lecture was happening at a class, not at the lecture theatre
- Did not eat lunch, gastric on the way home
- Caught in a windy rain on the way to meeting
- Got drenched
- Had to pick up products, was carrying a heavy plastic bag in the rain
- Got drenched
- Feeling bloated at night, thanks to gastritis
- Fell asleep for a few minutes at the bus stop while waiting for the bus
- Too exhausted to do anything else
I do not know why I feel extra tired this week. Is it because I forgot to take my supplements or is it because I did circuit training twice this week? Or is it simply due to the move? I pray for strength to allow me to go on and embrace this new path that I have chosen.
I must thank my wonderful classmates! They are such a blessing to me! Especially Fifi who constantly remind me about the assignments and projects that I have to do. I have been so disconnected this week that a few assignments that is due completely slipped my mind. I was also pleasantly surprised by the number of people asking me how moving day was like on Monday. That was sweet. I did nott expect so many people to remember and I just realized how many people I actually talked to about my move. My project team mates are extremely understanding but I really do not want to take advantage or make myself an excuse not to do the work that is needed to be done.
It is September already and that means I have exactly 1 month before Kankan and Samina will be in Singapore. It might seem like a short time to achieve my goals for this month in the midst of finishing off assignments, but I am determined not to let any distractions get in my way. To my team, I cannot do this alone. I need your support and help. Your success is my success as well. Just let me know if you need any help.
My mum does not seem to understand why I have to do this now. After the exhausted week, she cannot understand why I must run all over the place to do this business at the same time I am studying. It can be done. It shall be done.
Not looking for pity, sympathy or advice. Just a little understanding will do.
And ta daaaaaaa here is my new room! Its purple! My favourite colour!
I know its empty but its not now. I shall be taking some pictures just for you ok! Muahs! Stay positive!
