for those of you who thought that this blog was deserted for good, I forgive you. Who's gonna think otherwise when the latest entry was in Jan 2009? Its really been some time.
Perhaps I should stick to the winning formula of writing short and sweet posts consistently as opposed to the oh-so-long entries that I never fail to pen. (especially the comeback posts) But then again there is so much to share here...
and I shall start off with the recent night cycling trip I had! We started about 9pm and ended at 6.30am the next day. I came down with flu on the very same day, but miraculously that wasn't enough to stop me from having fun.
Here's me taken along the route to Fengshan for bak chor mee! And the green in my bag pocket isnt a water bottle.
Next up, here's all of us at the Changi boardwalk, on our way to Changi village for our second supper stop!As you can see all of us look quite fresh. This wasnt certainly what we were looking at after the end of it...but the time of fellowship was priceless. Then again I'm greatly blessed to have these bunch of buddies, and many more not captured here!
If there was anything personal I gained from this trip, it had to be the stress relief that the immense amount of cycling provided. It wouldnt take a genius to figure that I'm mentally, physcially and emotionally stretched as we speak.
The past few months have firmed my decision to further my studies and I've set my eyes on a mass communications course, through the polytechnics. Fact is, I applied way too late- only in end Feb when the closing date was on Jan 16th! So it would mean that I will have to try again next year, or pursue a faster route through MDIS.
MDIS, being a private school evokes waves of concern within me, and for one, the recognition of the certifications. I would be hesitant to embark myself on a course of study that won't bring me anywhere, especially when Civil Service is concerned. However, this seems like the only open door now, and I'm praying hard and seeking a confirmation if this should be the direction I should be taking.
I'll be joining the ranks of the unemployed in end May 2009. Having decided to pursue my education, I tendered my resignation yesterday. It wasnt an easy process though- and I was contemplating tearing the letter on a couple of occasions. Its not easy to do such a thing when your boss is a dear friend of yours, and what needs to be done has to be done. These weren't exactly easy to bear...emotions isnt something I deal with very well, and I was already feeling sore from all the rejections that I had faced earlier though.
If anything, Im grateful for all the concern, timely advice, support and encouragement offered to me from all around- they contain useful perspective and opinions that helped in making better decisions. Worth of special mention is my dear mom, who pledged her full (financial and emotional support) for me. She's been a great listener and advisor in these few months...way to go, mom!
And this ends my super long post for now! Finally.
