Hihi! Sorry for not blogging in such a long time. I have tons of pics to upload. But unfortunately, my camera battery just refused to be charged. =( And my fujitsu tablet just had to crash again. I got to get it fixed. Hopefully, they won't reformat my computer because all my pictures are inside....
Anyway, life has been quite hectic this semester. I just had my mid-term tests and I was quite unprepared for almost everything. (Urgh, don't even want to think about it.)
19th September just passed and I realized that I'm 23 years old! Omg.... I remember when I was 18, I was contemplating, 'exactly how would I look when I reached 23?' Well, I'm 23 now and I don't feel any different, except that life's wayy better than it was during my JC days. Compared to last year, this year's birthday celebrations are comparatively fewer. Celebrated my birthday only with 3 groups: lifesaving, NTU animal group and my church groupie (Pics will be uploaded at a later date when I'm not so busy). I'm actually fine with that because I'm quite burnt out.
I didn't celebrate my b day with my family either, though dad gave me $200 for my b-day present. (heehee....)I think the greatest present I gave myself was when I finally settled the remaining debt from that Bitch's phonebill. A whopping $484 in total! God is so good to place 5 weeks in the month of August~ heehee.. pay increase.
So officially, I'm DEBT FREE! YAY! But I still want my money back from that woman. Sigh.... She is a coward to avoid answering my phone calls. I don't even want to kill her. I just want my money back. She can even pay me in installments. Mrs. Jennifer Lee, let me be precise, you owe me $3000 plus in total. If you're reading this, please do not shy away in guilt. When confronted with the lawyer's letter from the phone companies, I faced up to the problem and here I am... 6 months later... DEBT FREE.
Just wanna say that please.... stop being and coward and trust God to help you settle whatever you owe me and your other debtors ok?
I'm not angry, but this experience has indeed changed my perspective on things. It has made me a wiser person. I remembered what my pastor said at the start of this year: God is causing all things to be shaken, so that the things that cannot be shaken, may remain.
In a way, I'm glad that this problem was revealed in February... I guess that was the divine shaking. And through that, God has given me favour to so many different jobs: as a lifeguard, teaching assistant, events coordinator, emcee and finally tutor. Within 6 months, my bank account experienced a 100% increase. It is indeed God's grace.... and I'm soo thankful. I guess this is the best birthday present I can ever give myself.
One other good news is that I won the humorous speech contest (Club level) again, this year. And I got 2nd-runner up for the Area contest~ which was good because I was seriously burnt out from school work and doing speeches. Unlike last year, I did a new speech for the area contest because humorous speech 1 had too many inside jokes. Bad news was that I broke down before the contest... hence the 3rd prize. I really could have done better if I had a smooth taxi ride to the venue.
(Latest Update*) After 10 years of the same hairstyle, I decided to go for a haircut. Yep.... and this is how I look right now... (taken on my laptop's webcam)
So far, most people do like it. But it is amazing that the people who are adversed to it are my love ones, like Yujun my cousin and Stephanie, my sister. (*Kevin hates it too... because he thinks I look like a nerd~ Whateva!) They reason for not liking it as much was that this hairstyle did not suit my sporty personality. It might be true... but I'll figure a way to look sporty instead of preppy.
Gotta get back to my essay on Virginia Woolf's 'Between the Acts'. I've got till Friday to finish it. LORD HELP ME......
