Had a rather different Xmas 2011. A more relaxing and less hyper one this year.
As humans age, people see things differently and expectations change. No longer are the days when I yearn for a super high or exciting Xmas. This year all I wanted was to go slow and just enjoy every moment with my frenz. I did it and I enjoyed it.
I learnt something this Xmas. Life is really precious and we really have to cherish every single moment. Today's incident at work really let me see life in another perspective. Sometimes we just have to stay satisfied. Be satisfied with whatever we have and never risk your life to do something just for the sake of your face or dignity. An enjoyable Xmas occasion that turned into tragic for this family. An injured Father, frantically busy mother, disappointed daughter, upset and heartbroken granny and petrified aunt. If he did not gave chase and grab the culprit, things would not have turned out this way. May you get well soon and may the culprit be nabbed soon.
Nontheless, it is one of my most valuable Xmas so far. Merry Xmas everyone!

At this hour....
2.35am
I am still awake. Was so sleepy at 8am that I literally feel into deep sleep till 2am. Now I am awake. All thanks to the idiotic flu bug, cough syrup & flu tablets.
December so far has been good. Reinstated my Distinction Degree, got my performance bonus, met up with ex-colleagues & friends, more exercising to a healthier and better looking me, and a step further to knowing her. It was a great dinner and chit chat session. Guess that somehow draws us closer. Though abit but enough. I'm thankful.
Had a job interview too. Even though it wasn't the kind of job I liked but well, at least I get to understand more about the kind of job that I am eventually looking for. I don't know if I will eventually leave my current job because I can noe sense that my bosses are trying to keep me. I do appreciate that but there are many factors in life whereby one eventually looks at in terms of job prospect, salary, opportunities and well.. as many as you may list.
Half of December is gone and I am looking forward to the remaining of 2011. A great meet up with bros on Monday, fun filled xmas party with my usual poly gang and my advanced bday celebration with my crazy colleagues on Boxing Day. =)

A roller coaster ride week
My journey this week was indeed like a roller coaster ride.
Excited that after a month, the exam results will be release. Excited to know how well I did. Happy because on wed i met up with my ex colleagues for dinner, been so long since we met up. Even more tensed up when the night approaches and you know well that when you wake up the next day, the truth will unveil.
My mood fell straight deep into hell when i saw "PASS" for OB. And the marks i got was exactly the same as my combined projects marks. Did I score zero for the exam? After doing so well for my projects, now I am being told I only got a pass? And I am stripped off my Bachelors Degree with Distinction just because of this? I really cannot face the fact, neither could I accept it. Super upset. It was one of my worse day ever. This is the result I produce to show my beloved Dad in heaven? I hated myself back then. Why shall such bad luck fathom on me? I have to appeal and I did. Felt a little better when the coordinator received my appeal email and acknowledged that she will review my case. Waited the whole day and still no reply. sighz.
Thursday morning was just as bad for me. How I wish everything was a dream and I really do not feel like going to work. Nonetheless, I dragged myself out of bed and left for work. While chatting with Jun Long who was trying to console me on Whatsapp, I decided to check my mail box. The moment I saw the incoming mail and the first word from her was "Congratulations!.... you got a overall Distinction ... it was an adminstration error..." I could really feel the damn bloody heavy stone that is sitting on my heart fell off me. It was really an error and i got back 17 marks to pass OB with a Distinction and to graduate with my aim, Bachelors Degree with Distinction. I was really relieved and damn super happy. Glad that I got my highest score in my entire University life for Business Ethics module too.
After 2 years of hard work and sacrifice. It is now finally over. It is time I can move on with life and embrace a new stage of my career and life. I am so glad and blessed. My hard work finally paid off.
Thank you all for showing me support and concern when I was really down. Thanks for all the messages left on my facebook. You guys are the best!! To my boss Yap, thank you so much for believing in me that I could do it. Thank you so much for assuring me that it was all a mistake. Thank you for always giving the trust and faith.
I am still in my celebration mood. After this, I shall really sit down and think about what I step or path I should take next.
December is finally here. It was a good start after all and I shall look forward to the rest of this month. =)
