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.

Counting Blessings and Unleashing Excitement

If you have been wondering why I have not been updating for the past days, thank you for your concern. I feel that the biggest blessing in my life is to constantly have people who are concern about me. I realise that I cant buy that. At the same time, I am also quite sadden by the small number of people genuinely concern about me. Nevertheless, I shall count my blessings and not complain about every little thing.

Fridays day out with the girls (and 2 guys..hehe) was especially fun. I discovered that we are bunch of people who sometimes lose our sanity, some more than the others, but still safe to hang around with. After bloating myself up with all the gassy drinks, even though it was not intentional, I force myself to eat several times to avoid being rude. And the worse part was, the food were extremely delicious and it kept calling my subconscious mind to move them from the table to a place in my stomach. It was extremely challenging especially in Fifi's place where her mum has heartily prepared so much delicious food and I cant even walk properly, what more eat some more. For malays, it is considered rude to visit a person house and not eat after the owner offers food to you. I did not want to be rude. I am pretty upset that I did not get to taste the 'laksa' and the jelly but I was too engrossed in thinking about how I can save some space in my stomach for more food to go in. It was obvious that my attempts to find a solution totally failed in misery.

Since it was Friday, I had to be at PASE meeting at Margaret's place by 8pm. By the time I left the gang, it was already 6.15pm and there were 3 more houses over in pasir ris to go. I knew Naf was already waiting for me and therefore taking the bus or train there is not an option. Some of the girls tried to talk me into not attending PASE by giving me alternative excuses to be told to my superior. It was funny because I did not really have to answer to anybody since it is my own business and my responsibility in the business goes beyond visiting the remaining houses. Choices are never easy but nevertheless have to be made. I apologize to the Ifa, Yati and Sue for not being able to be there, but you are in my heart always. Thank you for understanding.

It was an especially exciting PASE since it was the first friday of the month which means that there were going to recognition. I was so late in arriving and I admire the patience that Fir and Naf shown while waiting for me. Of course by this time I was exhausted since I have been all over Singapore for the day. However being there was definitely worth it.

It does not matter where you from. It only matter where you are going.

I learned a very important lesson. It does not matter what your past is, what matter is what you do in the present to create the future. Lisa gave the tip that success will lie in your daily habits. It is what you do everyday with your time that will eventually create your future. I guess in the recent month, I have not been planning my day. I have been so involved with classes, assignments that I have lost track of time and missing the bigger picture. I need to plan my activities daily starting from tomorrow especially since I am on a break for the next 3 weeks. Some of the days are already filled up and tomorrow I shall be at HQ picking up products for my customers. I need to spend the next few days doing these 2 things.

1. Finalising the SNO blog for class
2. Starting and finishing the article I am suppose to write for 'Voices'

It is an honour being picked to write about what special needs officer is all about by a magazine thats going to be read by hundreds of student teachers. It is also a huge responsibility as I do not want to mis-represent the SNOs in any way. I need to put a lot of thoughts into writing it to the best of my ability.

This week looks promising since Ender is showing the plan on Wednesday and BBS on Friday. I just saw the book and cd of the month and I cant wait to get my hands on them. I have been waiting for this book to arrive in Singapore for ages! It is finally here. Yay!

It is time to unleash the excitement!
