" My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life."-- Lee IacoccaWell, then i guess, at this point in time of my life, i do have a pretty great life, cos i do have this group of friends, true friends, whom i know i can count on anytime. It really doesn't matter where i am, whether i'm in Singapore or Perth or whether my friends are in Singapore or in Perth. It doesn't matter how physically far we are, neither does it matter how long i've come to know them. Whether it may be 8 years, 4 years or even 4 months.. as the saying goes "the depth of a friendship does not depend on the length of acquaintance."
Friendship, it is such an amazing thing isn't it? There are many people in our life. Some who stay, some who leave, some who will come back after awhile.. And, some of them.. They just make a difference in my life in their own ways. They are the ones whom i can count on, the ones who will always be there.
Funny how i find myself always missing my friends, no matter where i am. When i'm in Perth, i miss my friends back home. When i'm in Singapore, i miss my friends back in Perth. Ahh.. all these 'missing' business...
I truly thank God for these friends.
Now that i'm about to return to Perth pretty soon. It's time to say 'see you again at the end of year'... I guess, no matter how many times i've said it, goodbyes/see-you-agains are never an easy thing to say. It just doesn't get better with practice.. But then again, i take comfort in that i will see them all again at the end of the year... And also, i'll get to see my friends that i miss back in Perth again :)
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. -- Elisabeth Foley
After looking up the units for Management major, Entrepreneurship major and Marketing major and arranging the units for my remaining 2 semesters, things don't look as complicated as i thought it would be anymore. Seems like, i can do all 3 majors in the end and need not give up any of my current majors.
My heart is at ease now. And im thankful that there are some friends who listened to me rant about my frustration about this whole.. majors/honours-in-marketing thing.. It certainly does help when there is someone there to listen :)
On another note, it's just another 8 more days til i return to Perth. Ahh... bittersweet, bittersweet. So much to look forward to in Perth, im really excited to return, to see my dear friends once again cos i really do miss them a lot. Yet at the same time, i can't bear to say 'see you soon' to my family and friends back home... My june holiday has been really enjoyable. I think i've spent my holiday in the way that i like best - catching up, meeting up, just simply spending time with people who matters to me a lot :)
So, one more week, gotta make the best out of it before i head back to Perth once again :)
It's exactly 2 more weeks and i'll be back in Perth. But before that, there is just SO many things to settle. (or at least it feels like it is in my opinion)
Okay. So i want to add a marketing major to the current majors that i'm doing ( management major and entrepreneurship major), cos this will affect whether i can do my honours in marketing. So, i have to go and figure out how i'm going to do that.
1. I 'exchange' one of my current majors for a marketing major. Which means, i sacrifice one major for marketing major.. Which means, some of the units that i have been studying in the past 2 semesters.. are, technically speaking, "of no use".. Argh, confusing i know, it's hard to explain..
OR
2. Somehow fit this 3rd major - marketing major into my degree. Sounds like the easier plan right? But it isn't really. Cos i only have 2 more semesters left, so, it can be a little difficult to fit a 3rd major in.. That, i have to go check it out too..
At the same time, i need to try and ask for units exemption for some of the marketing major units cos i have already done some of the units before in Singapore during my polytechnic studies... and this can only be done when i go back to Perth....
And all these is because, i'm hoping to do honours in marketing.. Which means i have to do a marketing major. And i only
just realised this yesterday night. So silly of me, i know. I know i should have checked all these out way before, like right at the beginning.
I wished i have done all these preparation before i started my uni studies. Like figuring out properly what majors i want to do, how to arrange the units, what i must fulfill to do my honours in marketing.. But then, probably at that time, i have yet to see that far.. Probably didn't think of doing honours yet at that time.
But anyway, yes, this is making me feel so.. argh. I wish i didn't have to think about all these. But then again, no use thinking about all the "if only i've done this and that.. " I just have to get all these sorted out BEFORE i do my OLCR timetabling (which is due on the 22nd of July).. cos i might have to re-enrol some units..
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :(
