previous sem, it was AAA [Accounting Application & Analysis] and IEF [International Economics & Finance] ... for this sem, i think CMA [Cost & Managerial Accounting] might just be my another nightmare...
i guess i can never run away from accounts ):
and another module that im learning now is Business Law. after my 1st tutorial, i think i can be a small-time lawyer by the end of the semester. haha. the no. of case studies, laws, rules, acts and so many more that we have to remember. unbelievable. but then, the module is interesting. so i guess that makes up for the amt of brainwork needed. haa.
oh, i finally finished and submitted my ITP report. 2 hours, a 1514 word report. i feel so accomplished. haha.
on another note, cough is still here ):
was just thinking abt some stuffs on the way home just now ....
i think in life, there are many many lessons for us to learn.. be it big or small. maybe you'll learn it from your own life, and sometimes, maybe from others' life too..
for some of the lessons in life, some pple learn it the easy way, and for some pple, the hard way. i guess, sometimes, some of us need to make a few wrong turns before coming to the right path.
and maybe only after those wrong turns, we will then learn how to appreciate the right path, and stay away from the wrong paths. and the next time we come across a similar wrong path again, we'll know how to stay away from it.. i hope.
sometimes, things happen and we may not understand why is it happening. and we may question God why...
but i think, all we need is that simple faith, patience and trust in God, that He has His own reasons for the things that are happening which we may not understand why
yet. and when we have that faith in God, we'll see that He makes everything beautiful in
HIS own time (:
I ask God to take away my habit.
God said, No,
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
I ask God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.
I ask God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
I ask God to spare me pain.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to me.
I ask God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own! ,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
went to watch Rainbow Centre's 20th Anniversary concert, "True Colors"
the whole performance is not bad. the children can dance quite well! to see them enjoying themselves as they perform really brings a smile to my face and heart.
the segment that left the most impression on me is, "Who is the Teacher?" the words that the mentally disabled boy said just shoots straight into my heart. how true indeed.
though we are so-called "normal" as compared to them, but i think, in some ways, they are better off than us. they are very simple. their life is simple. from them, you learn what is called joy, hope, simplicity and love.
seriously speaking, for me, i think starting sch and falling sick is inseparable. why huh?
sch has only just started! and .... i'm sick again. ok la. maybe before that i was starting to get sick alr. and just so happens that sch starts and i fall sick.
but, it's still ok la. nt so serious. just cough and sore throat. though i guess their good friend, flu, might come and find me soon too. haha.
now, i am almost convinced that my body system has a mind of its own and it loves to play games with me.
officially, sch has started tdy. but cos i have no lectures tdy, sch starts tmr for me.
cnt believe how fast 7 weeks has passed. work has been not bad. learn lots of things. get a little taste of the working life. haha. and now, sch is starting alr.
feeling a little scared abt sch reopening. dnoe why. ever since i got back my common tests results at the end of june this year, ive been feeling this way abt sch. maybe im just thinking too much.
seems like everytime sch starts, i'll start to fall sick. also dnoe why. cough, my enemy. it creeps up on me unknowingly everytime.
well. it's time to get busy all over again. with all the projects, tutorials and tests. pray that i'll have the strength and energy.
ok. have to go prepare my things for sch tmr.
tdy is rly a special and memorable day.

just happen to be thinking abt decision-making...
life is full of decisions. i know this sounds cliche but, i think it's rather true.
for some people, life seems rather "smooth", whereby the road in front of them is paved for them already. for some, not.
i feel that in my life so far, i often come to crossroads. should i walk down the left lane? or the right lane? and i always struggle with the numerous What-Ifs that appears in my mind. haha. that's why sometimes i tend to over-worry just too much. im someone who dislikes the unknown. i guess maybe everyone does too. and im someone who does not like to make a decision, only to back out later.
but, i guess, decision-making is God's way of teaching me. teaching me to learn how to make better decisions in life and to teach me to have faith in Him. sometimes, i will wonder "did i make the right decision?" and then my pessimistic side will come out and my mind starts to be over-filled with all the What-Ifs and Then-Hows. but then, ive learnt how to have faith in God. that no matter what decision i make, though i may feel insecure about the decisions, He will be there to lead me through them.
sometimes, after making a decision, things may not seem to be going the way you want it to be. but, for everything that happens, there is a reason behind it and a lesson to learn, it's only a matter of time, and patience, that we get to see the big picture (:
