Hello everyone,
seemed like this blog has been laying dormant for quite awhile, and I also have to admit that I have not been contributing much in the recent months.
How's everyone? I hope all of you are doing fine and picking up the momentum for your studies. I have been here for more than 2 weeks and I still miss Singapore as much as when I first arrived. But things are all good for me and I am pretty much settling well.
I have finally finished the workshop today, after 2 weeks of intense designing and building, our glider actually performed quite well in the test. Thanks to some of you for the constant encouragements, even though I always say its hard and everything, you guys just perked me up with all the 'don't worry, you can do it, sure can wan lah' , I think all these have lifted up my mood so much, making me feel that I am still so very at home and close to you guys.
Thanks especially to the few that have been looking after Ivy and keeping her company. Both of us really appreciate all these kind actions greatly and Ivy often mentioned how much she enjoyed and cherished the company. Many many thanks to you guys!
I just received my time-table and realised how big a jump it is from 1st year to 2nd year. Time-table is so much packed up compared to last year's. I just want to urge all of us to relish the challenge that is coming at us in the new year. Be it school work, project, deadlines, essays, do it with pride and confidence. I always believed that we are always put in situations that are within our strengths and abilities to overcome, if we choose to. All I can say is after this year and when we look back at the things that we have accomplished, we will not regret not putting in enough effort or not having try hard enough. We can never control the results but I strongly believe we can control the efforts that we put in.
Study hard and work smart; and at the same time take time to rest and reflect too. If things are going wrong, stop and ask yourself what went wrong. Take the step to change or to accept the criticism that is to come with them. Learn from them and I am sure even the worst problems that you have will be made more pleasant. If things are going right, of course be thankful, and humble and continue to use it to maximise your potential.
Having said that, I think all of you are capable individuals that are good enough for anything in this world. It is just a matter of choice actually, whether if we choose to go for it or to run away from it.
Take care everyone, as I embarked on my new year while many of you are already half way there, remember to keep you focus and goals in sight. Speed does not necessary means direction and more often it does not bring you to your destination. Do things with patience, and be patient with success also. Work to your fullest potential, ok? Life is not about being successful, but the process that comes before it, right?
I pray that everyone of you are happy and healthy, not forgetting all your parents and family also. Have a good mooncake festival!
Til we meet again, bye for now.
God bless
