July 25 - Graduation! ________________________________________________________________
So so, guess who graduated on July 25th! After 16yrs of education in the singapore system, eh-hem, I am officially done with school. With that motar-board on your head, somehow you just feel alittle smarter. Hoho. So, some pictures to remember the moments by :)



Friends. Still more photos in my comp, but too lazy to upload all.









Family! Mom with motar-board too:)










Dearie and the lovely lilies. Just a yr back when i was at his convocation.

Hanging on the ride. ________________________________________________________________
Things are getting a little crazy, i am learning hard to cope.

This job is bringing me places i've never seen, putting me in situations i've never been, making me buzz in stress and excitement like never before and making me rather worried about the remaining sectors of my life.

Now i understand why there are so many people in this line who aren't married - they probably can't find time to attend their own weddings.

It's been almost a month and everything is just speeding faster by. The working hours are long and somehow the days off seem extremely short. Time management is a skill i need to learn.

Getting home tired every night doesn't help. Conversations get thin and often end up in bursts of frustration. Sometimes i wish for more understanding but if our shoes were switch i'll probably be reacting worse.

Give me new strength lord, guide me in my way.

Since i started work, i've been leaning on the lord more than before. The spare time i have, i just start speaking to him, asking him for guidance to make sense of my environment.

A transition indeed.

Excitingly turbulant time ahead.

Learning to stay on track. ________________________________________________________________
I'm back.

It's been awhile.

You know what? When you start working, the last thing you want to do when you get home is to switch on your computer and type another paragraph onto your blog site.

Work work, now, let's see how i should decribe it.

It's a weird thing. It's interesting in the sense that you're doing something different everyday, there's this constant bit of excitement because new things could come your way very suddenly. But then there's the time crunch when you can't get the news out fast enough. Right now, i'm still pretty new and so things aren't as bad. But as i look on at my colleagues, it seems they are rather stretched. It's definately a profession you've got to love to stay on, and i wonder for how long if the hours are that unfriendly. We shall see.

Meanwhile. This weekend was an eventful one :)

Spent time with dearie, conquering ikea as it was opened till 12am for the shoppers to beat the GST hike. Then there was the long wait for the famous bedok ba-chor-mee. Yum yum definately. How can a simple dish taste soooo good?

Sunday morning was dim sum breakfast and then church. I felt it was a great service cause it was talking about excelling in the wkplace and finally work's relevant to me. Spent the afternoon visiting dearie's sis who just gave birth to a cute little baby girl. I always get this sense of amazement when a new life is bornt. I wonder how parents cope, a tiny, fragile little thing that's gonna grow up so fast.

Oh wells. :)

Alrighty, monday's gonna be a day of errands and tasks. ironing being my least favorite followed by the mandatory run. boo-hoo.

cya.

Lyric of the month

Travis - Flowers in the Window

There's no reason to feel bad
But there are many reasons to feel glad, sad, mad
Its just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But i am here to help you with the load.

Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And i am glad that you feel the same
Cause to stand up i'm in the crowd
You're one in a million
And i love you so, so lets watch the flowers grow.
