Life thus far...
It has really been a long time since I blogged. but I suddenly thought of something...
I was having a heart to heart conversation with one of my close friends and I realized that I wasn't the only one who felt that I held on too much on past years while I was in my JC days.
It got me thinking about how we tend to hold ourselves back and prevent ourselves from moving forward in life. The major thing that I hold on too are my friends, I have that insecure feeling that my friends and I will drift apart as days go by as all of us embark on different paths. Some go to polytechnic, some go to JC, some go overseas. Thinking back, once friends and true they will always be there and I should never fear of losing them. COZ THAT'S WHAT BEST FRIENDS ARE. It's funny how we don't talk to our best friends for months but when we chat it's as though we have been with them and chat with them every other day! It's a feeling of joy that is indescribable.
I feel that through university, I have actually grown. It isn't a significant growth but it is somewhat visible at least to myself. Thinking about how I started tutoring a primary school girl. Something I never actually saw myself doing (like in a million years!!). I have got great friends and amazing people around me who really inspire me. Everyone has their flaws, but there is always something to learn from anyone and everyone. Because we have our very own strengths. Most do not see it in ourselves, but others see it. And I feel really appreciative when friends tell me my strengths and comfort me when I lack self-confidence or fear that I'm not good enough. No one is ever good. Good is subjective and we should always strive towards self-improvement. I really would like to thank my friends I have and anyone who has been there for me and encouraged me along the way. Reminding me of the things I have achieved above all the 'failures' I have had. Friends are really important because they pull you up when you are down. Although I have grown, there are still a lot of areas in which I can improve myself. I think university is the time where we meet a lot of people, with different thoughts from you, different personalities and everyone seems more mature. You have classmates who are older and wiser and they allow you to see things in a different perspective. I have always lived in my own bubble (not that I don't now) but my bubble has become much smaller than the world. There are so many things that I'm oblivion towards. Many things I do not understand or bother to read about in this world. But a part of me has become more interested in these things as I interact with my friends.
With all these new life experiences, all the more I would really love to go on a semester exchange! I have heard so much about exchange, from my brother and my friends. And I have met an exchange student from UK beginning of this semester. It is really interesting to hear about the different countries culture. I believe it will really be an eye-opening experience for me. Not only learning about other culture but also myself. Living independently in a foreign land would really be a challenge for me - a good one!
At different point in life, we have different goals. We may find ourselves lost over the years in university. I mean I am only year 2 and I have felt lost many times. And there are times that I suddenly feel that I have a purpose in university. most of the time ya just lost like why the HELL am I studying this??!! hahahha but ya, now my purpose is EXCHANGE!! HHAHAHA
BUT REALLY I HAVENT TALKED SO DEEP ABOUT ANYTHING WITH ANY OF MY OTHER FRIENDS. THIS FRIEND I HAVE IS SPECIAL!
Uni its just hahahha a roller coaster. I mean life is...
Always remind yourself of that one thing that drives you to work hard! Inside everyone there must be a fighting spirit just whether it is triggered. If there is no fighting spirit you would not be here right? Sometimes we just need to take a step back look at the painting of our lives. No matter what it is on it, it is a beautiful piece of art, messy or not, clean or not, it is still your art piece, your life! Zoom into the beautiful parts to remind yourself what you have achieved and what you could have achieved and what you will achieve in the future! hahhahaha really this is not me talking. I feel like there's a inner voice in me or inner character that I have unleashed. It rarely pops out though hahaha JUST TREASURE EVERY MOMENT.
