It’s been a year…
A year since I wore something green on myself…
A year since I held the ‘kiwi’ and brush…
A year since I last stamped my foot...
A year since I had to listen to commands to start walking and change directions, in unison, nevertheless…

It was year 2005, around the same time, 3 years ago. Where my parents departed; leaving me all alone in an island strange, and unfamiliar to me. I told myself all this would end in due time. And I can still remember clearly how I felt at that very moment when I told that to myself.

As I queued up in a single file, together with many other boys like me, waiting to get my hair shaved;
As I embarked on a journey, filled with regimentation and physical training;
Never would I have thought at that point of time, that I would be sitting down here, right now, at the comfort of my own home, typing what I am typing right now, without having to pack my belongings for the week ahead of me, without having to worry about booking in, and with my hair long enough to ’fly’ as the fan rotates to my direction with every uniform interval.

It’s just amazing how when you think back, that time really flies and waits for no man they say…

With that, I would like to end this post and leave you guys with a quote that has never failed to motivate me and also as a reminder to all you reading this right now that TIME IS GOLD. Don’t take it for granted; for when it’s gone, you’d never be able to get it back…

“Four little words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd; a little bit more. They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more.”

Its been 2 months since my last post. And I've been working very hard to fulfil the resolution I have set for myself. I knew adapting to a new full time job would be rather tough, which I'm also glad that I'm taking only one module for this term at school. This will help me to worry less about school work and concentrate more on the new job that I have on hand.

When I first started with the job, I'm faced with challenges on how to adapt to something that I have never done before in my life.
Then I'm challenged with how I supposed to be more efficient on my role in the company so as to not create unessecary inconveniences to my colleagues.
Now, its coming to the end of the term and school work is starting to pick up. So I'm facing new challenges almost everytime.

3 months is the period of probation I need to serve under this new company that I have joined. 3 months is also the duration of a term in school. And now, I'm in the final few weeks of this crucial 3 months where I'm challenged to cope with juggling school and work all together at the same time.

For once, I'm feeling stressed up. A 1st in a long time. Feels good cause at least I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing and bad at the same time cause going through this process is not exactly what you'd call 'feeling good'.
