hello 2013.
it's been a really long time since i posted something here. well, here i am! (: i know it's already been 10 days into the new year but it's never too late to sum up 2012 right. there are certainly many things i am thankful for:
1. driving license- THREE attempts to get this, just glad that im done & over with it. the best part is that passing doesn't equate to u knowing how to really drive on the actual roads well enough. just take parking as an example. it isnt the same as the course at all.
2. buttercup 2012- my first K2 graduating class. this class wasn't easy to take with all sorts of personalities & learning speeds but we made it through anyway! my training ground for 2013. & this year's buttercup are SUCH A LOVELY BUNCH. <3 i feel more encouraged.
3. trip to thailand- really enjoyed my time in CDC & kata beach. CDC because volunteering really makes me happy and the peace & simplicity of life can't be beaten. just a gd reminder to be contented. & kata beach was simply beautiful (not to mention the awesome hotel!!!! still in awe how i found it off agoda).
4. thankful that i'm finally coming to terms that people/friends change & it's ok to just let go cuz they aren't the same anymore, won't ever be. i guess it's just sickening that there are so many people with the i, me, myself attitude. LIFE DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND U ALONE, DAMNIT. guess it's a reason why i stopped blogging, cuz it's always about my life. quite... narcissistic. how about caring for others or sparing a thought? srsly. & stop getting so wasted?! i really don't get it. nvm.
5. job search- if u were aware, i was looking for a job in 2012 since.. August? i got a few offers but every company seemed sort of questionable. eventually, i ended up staying at my current workplace. i have mixed reactions- yay!! & what?! why?! idk, i guess that's what people mean by peace of heart? eventually MSK was the place i felt most comfortable though there are many MANY things that can be worked upon esp the mgmt. so yes, im STILL getting a miserable pay, NOT climbing up any ladder, NOT getting married anytime soon cuz HOW TO SAVE MONEY AT ALL?! BUT... i guess im still happier this way. happiness is important right? hope it won't be short lived. i would be damned if i keep comparing myself to those in other sectors- wait, no. even primary/secondary sch teachers get better pays. ok, but yah, stop comparing. i'll get there someday.
6. masters- i've finished my 1st of 5 semesters. it isnt easy but understanding lecturers & gd team mates really help! 2 more years to go... & the results were released after christmas (i think). i did pretty well, all thanks to GOD! i couldnt have done well w/o Him esp while i had to handle all the work stress at the same time.
i've spent the past 2 years adjusting into work life. it can be really tough sometimes w politics (oh trust me, teachers play politics too). hope it gets easier (to ignore). so, here's to 2013 working out to be easier- less transitions, more stability. I LOVE CERTAINTY.
