year 2005 achievements
Wheeee....Happy New Year peeps!!
A new year with a new beginning.....
Looking back at Year 2005, I realized that there were more blessings than woes. I had my ups and downs. Let's see what I've both achieved and lost.
I started Year 2005 with a new job and also a new love. I made my mark at Atotech SEA Pte Ltd as a lab technician for 7 months, both for my industrial attachment and also while waiting to get accepted into a local university.
On the other hand, love made me a better person. It was rather hard to be in love again and to stay in love till now. He means the whole world to me. He has given me the encouragement of not giving up, cheered me up when I was ranting and raving, stayed patient with my bitching and he has given me all the happiness that I need from a guy for the whole year. We do have out disagreements but we are willing to compromise. Well, he taught me to be patient, more humble and he also taught me a new sport....golf!!
In 2005 also, I lost weight while working. I became a workaholic and prefer not to eat and to make things worst, I'm scared of getting FAT. I won't deny that it's also because of the power of love. Anyway, I also graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a Diploma in Chemical Engineering in early July. I made my parents proud with my grades. I, too, was proud of my 3 years of hardwork.
Later, in the middle of the year, my dreams came true. After filling in forms after forms, I was being accepted into a local university. I was offered a place in Environmental Engineering in Nanyang Technological University. To make things better, I got the direct-entry to second year for the 4-year course. I was ecstatic cause I was given another chance to attain a better future.
I forged new friendships within that one semester in NTU. I have more new friends and they are very dependable. We mugged together and helped each other when we are in need. But university life ain't easy. Competition was tough. Everyone in there are mostly top-scorers, COM holders and are of the same academic status as me. I became soo small and felt that I am the worst among the best. Never in my academic life have I felt like I'm a failure. I brokedown when I failed quizzes after quizzes even though I studied hard for them.
Exams came and the pressure was much higher for me. I lost my appetite, lack of sleep, became very emotional and weak when all I do during that period of time was to study, study and study. I couldn't handle the pressure and thankfully, my mother was there as my shoulder to cry on.
But I was blessed again when I passed everything. As a start, amidst all the tough competition and all, I guess I've passed with flying colours. Now, I am able to move on without any hiccups. Not forgetting, I was able to prove a lot of people wrong when I took up Sociology as a minor. They said that I'm crazy to take up a minor. And well.......I did better in Sociology than my core modules....!!!
Although there are so many blessings, there was one thing that I regretted. I held a grudge on someone whom I've grown up with and spend my time with since young. All thanks to him, I was mad at him. I wish he should have known better and be more mature before saying or doing anything. I have my spies. He should have known that, like him, I have an ego as big as my head. I have pride. And also he should have known that I'm not a little girl anymore and that I can't accept some things that he has done. Above all, I do regret cause all my life, I wish I have a big brother like him who protects and showers his love to the younger ones. If you are reading this.....I'm sorry.....
Year 2005 has been a great year for me. I hope Year 2006 will be a much better year. Although my love is going to be in Tekong and won't be there for me most of the time, I hope his love won't leave me and that my love won't leave him. I hope it'll be a better year for us. I also hope that I'll achieved better grades this year, without doubt, cause at least, it'll make me happier and boost my confidence level. I want to make my parents proud for the second time when they see me in the academic suit in 2008..........
