my baby

MY BABY's AMAZING ;D

Within me

Haven't dropped any ink here for awhile.
Dust has settled huh..
Maybe even spiderwebs in corners, like my room.

Anywhoo. As I'm sitting in my C309 hostel room at KE VII hall, with ballads in the background, and a tiny naggy me in my head telling me to sleep, there are a zillion things going on in my head.

School's been on for a week and three days.
And I've been "living" independently for about three weeks.
After all the orientation activities, things start to simmer down, and anticipation of serious stuff begins

I kinda miss the old times when things get spoon fed to us...
Notifying my parents that fees are due,
Printing of lecture notes, assignment worksheets,
Being told exactly what to read and when and from where...
Having an aunty at the bookshop that'll sell you a whole pack of notes you'll ever need for the semester
Having a fixed class that comprises a class committee that bao kah liao all the necessary lil details like printing the class timetable
Homecooked meals.

But hey, the Past is past.

Then I think about the Future.
And one word comes to mind - Fear.
Right now I'm juggling:
Two tuition students
A standard 5 modules with 17 hours of contact time per week
Not inclusive of the hours spent doing alltheabove on my own
Plus the countless readings and texts that ARTS FACULTY virtually spells.
Being an IVP - Inter-varsity player, (which isn't really set in stone yet. But a girl can plan/hope)
which means three trainings per week, 3-4 hours at a time.
Being a part of KE VII hall
Wanting to be active in hall (I mean, why else join a hall right?)

Can I do it all?


Mommy and Daddy think so (:
They gave this to me when I checked-in to my hostel
It was so sweet I cried =(

Your presence is a gift to the world,
You're unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be -
Take in one day at a time.

Count your blessings, not your troubles,
And you'll make it through what comes along.
Within you are so many answers,
Understand, have courage, be strong.

Don't put limits on yourself,
Your dreams are waiting to be realized.
Don't leave important decisions to chance -
Reach for your peak, your goal, and your prize.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying -
The longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets.
Don't take things too seriously -
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.

Remember that a little love goes a long way -
Remember that a lot goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment,
Life's treasures are people... together.

Have health and hope and happiness,
Take the time to wish on a star.
And don't ever forget for even a day...
How very special YOU are!
