I've received some suggestions and advices today. Some are pretty good, and got me thinking about alot of things.
Well many of my friends suggested I follow my heart, what I really love doing and pursue my interest, which is econs. Afterall, the heart never lies right? ;)
But if I were to take my Honours in SIM, it'll be quite difficult to work in the government sector in future. Not saying it's impossible, but it'll be competitve bcos afterall, it is an overseas uni.
And then there's NIE. My dad told me some benefits of teaching as a career and like I'd be able to go up the ladder after maybe 7 years of teaching. He said why not get a degree in __________(whatever subject) and then work with MOE. The starting pay will be around 3.5K for degree holders. And he also mentioned applying for other jobs after I'm tired of teaching already :P
So conclusion?
I'M BACK TO SQUARE ONE.
urgh :(
Gotta make a decision before I head for camps next weeeeeeeekkkk. Gosh, pening lah.
My family
I recently had a small tiff with my mum. And we didn't talk to each other for 3 days I think. It's actually quite stupid, haha. She's angry cos I've been going out and all. And because I didn't dry the clothes 'properly'. I dont know what's that supposed to mean..or maybe she just had a bad day. But I got angry too cos I thgt she kept picking on me. So then we didnt talk. Haha, and I know I'm the 1st child so I've to set an example and all... and it sucks not being able to talk to my mum cos I've to tell her certain things so how am I supposed to convey them to her right. So I just talked to her like normal and tadaaa we're making progress already ;)
Both my sisters have been coming home very late, the 2nd one preparing for her summer test and the 3rd one, busy juggling with council, accelerated studies, and cca. But I've got to say, I'm really connected to them more than ever, now that I've passed JC(which took my time away from them)... so it feels good :))
My education
This part of my life here is really in.. a mess. I dont know, I'm in a DILEMMA. So after months of waiting, there results are : SMU was unsuccessful. I got into NUS architecture. NTU offered me NIE. And I just got my SIM acceptance package ytd.
Okay, so I'm definitely not accepting the course NUS offered me. Architecture? Please. I'm not going to be another Ted Mosby. Haha. Not interested in it anyway, never was and never will be. So that's out, together with SMU. I actually like the idea of taking up NIE and being a teacher. However, if I take up NIE, I'm stuck being a teacher for the rest of my life. Hahaha okay no, that's too exaggerated. But yknow..for the first few adult years of my life, I'll be with MOE..till I find another job which I strongly feel like doing. So I'm not too sure about NIE. And anyway, I really want to do smth which I loveee. And SIM has accepted my course- Economics & Management. I realllllly wanna do Econs! But, SIM is damn ex.. it's $24K for 3 years of honours cert, plus I've to graduate in London itself. I'm not sure I'm prapared for all that, altho' it's a few more years down the road. But these kinda things are important already now. So I've to consider :(
At least when I'm in the course I like, I'll be enjoying it. And with the Honours in Econs&Management, I'll be able to apply to various job prospects like Financial advisor, banks, lecturer, MOM.. etc2. As opposed to teaching. I've got till 1st June to decide, so I'm really stuck and thinking about the choices is giving me a headache! Having said that, I'm thankful though that I've choices to make, than none at all. I hope Allah will show me the light and aid in my decision, InsyaAllah. So nervous to start the next phase of my life :/
My better half
I'm so glad and thankful that Tekong is treating him well! I was actually scared for him since it'll be a dramatic change in there. What's with the 'tekan' trainings and all. Hahaha. But he's doing fine in there and actually enjoying himself. Lol. Well, the reality is that we dont text anymore ( cos he cant obviously), but he does call me every night without fail before his lights out. Although they gave him only a few minutes, he never fails to call. I'm pretty much contented with that, although the worst was..30 secs only!! Haha, siao.
With him in NS, and with me starting school soon, it's really a challenge. But what's refreshing to me is that he keeps assuring that nothing's going to change and we'll be going thru this as a pair. But honestly I cant wait for his BMT to be over so then it'll be smoother and easier for him after posting already! Gonna find places to go during his 1 week break. hehe. Alhamdulillah, everything's been going fine :') <333
My agenda
WELL WELL WELL. Ever since I stopped working and ever since my pay got in, ASYIK KELUAR ONLY! hahaha. So perangai one. BUT, this whole week I'm panning to stay home and compensate the time(haha) cos next 3 weeks will be a helluva hectic time!! All starting from this coming Mon :0
23-25: Camp @ Kota tinggi
26: Chill at home
27-29: Local camp @ Changi
28: And in between the camp,I've to go to kendarat (bcos I promised my friend & the pay is so high! :P )
30: 1-day amazing race for sec 1s
31: Chill at home
1-3: Camp @ Kota tinggi
4: Di Va La Futsal competition
5: Stay home sunday!
6-11: Holiday @ Msia with my family
12: Vertical Marathon
And then I'm free onwards (unless plans are being made later on) all the way till 18th, where there is Maher Zain's concert! Geeee man. I got to brace myself for the next few weeks. Gonna be super tiring :( But on the brighter side, all this amounts to yet another 4-digit salary ;P (haish but I better save most of it than spend on food and clothes!)
On top of all these, I've yet to book for my 2nd driving lesson. The 1st one was quite disastrous cos I kept hitting the tyres at the side. Hahaha. Noobie what, cant expect anyth much :P
I'm actually planning to reserve the last few weeks of July..in case school starts. Haha.
Other matters in life
Puasa is coming in 3 more months!! So quickkkk. I've yet to pay back my fasting debts :/ Should do it soon. But not for the next few days bcos I'm crampingggg due to that time of the month. Aiya so sad. Anyway, I'm hooked to ET by katy perry! I love the song, so awesomez :)) And Gossip girl has been keeping me company till 3am almost every night..ever since Fai booked in. Haha. TOO MUCH DRAMA AND SUSPENSE LAH, CANT TAKE IT!! :D
Plus plus, blackshot has been occupying my free time at home these days. It's like a routine except it's not mundane. Wake up, do house chores, then play blackshot!! Gosh, addictive or whattttt. Hehe ;D
And I love the weather these days.. so forgiving and cooling.
To sum it up? I love life as it is now :))) Praises to Allah! At the end of the day, He;s the One I need the most, and the One I'm much thankful too.
To my Juniors who are having a hard time preparing for prelims, remember please do not give up. I was in the same boat as you once, so I know how painful and depressing it is. But trust me, just push yourself and mug mug mug. I may not have achieved FANTASTIC results, but just so you all know, this is the last straw so persevere and stay strong ya! :)) It's not how hard you fall, it's how high you bounce :) GOOD LUCK DEARIES! <3
Okay my sister doesnt wanna follow me go gym. I'll drown my sadness in gossip girl. HAHA BYE :P
- Mood:indescribable
Anyway! I've been thinking about the future alot lately, and it kind of scares me. I know it's better to go with the flow and not think too much about these kind of things but I'm turning 20 next year and I feel like it's only right to ponder over my own future. My education, the career which I'll be pursuing, my love life, repaying my parents for my education etc etc.
So many things to think about! Considering that one year now feels like 6 months....
Well anyway, I can't say how much I've been missing the favourite boy. But I guess I'm getting used to this, after 4 days he's been in camp. At least he calls me for at least 3 mins every night, alhamdulillah :) Good enough already considering that the recruits can't use their handphones in the day. And anytime actually, except slightly before lights out. So I'm really trying to keep myself occupied every day :)
Like he once said, this is going to be one of our real challenges. This period tests our faith and strength towards the r/s. Hope all's well, insyaAllah. :)
Tonight is gonna be Avril's night :D sooo WHAT THE HELL?!
hehe gonna eat my gish fingers and curly fries now! Have a good day, all! (;

This is the FIRST real challenge that we're going to face.
I hope Allah will draw out a beautiful plan for us, just like what we've asked for, InsyaAllah. :)
The chalet which was from Mon-Tues was damn fun! Totally awesome :))
On monday, after checking in, we had an early dinner at Fig&Olive, a meditteranian restaurant. The fish & chips there ahh super tasty siaaa!
Yum yum ^.^
Afterwhich, we headed of to play pool for like 3 hours? Then a bit of Daytona at arcade. It's the car racing game. Got hooked onto that one, so we played like for 4 rounds. hehe. From beginner's to the advanced route. Best lah :)
Afterwhich we went to bowl..for 1 hour I think. The bowling lanes were all empty bcos it was a weekday, sooo we pretty much had the place all to ourselves! Then, we went for grocery shopping for supper and late night snacks. All the activities were at Ehub at downtown east so it was all very convenient.
We went back to our chalet afterwards and the lepak starts then! Fai cooked for all of us maggi goreng for supper. Yum yum ^.^ And then we celebrated Fab's birthday with chocolate cake. We initially switched off all the lights and then tadaaaaa.. birthday song for de bday boy! (:
Then e played uno, taboo, and topped it off with the all-time drinking game! :D
I'll usually get sleepy around 4am, but for this chalet, guess what time I slept? :D
7am!! Hehe. Might as well not sleep right? But at least I had 2 hours of snooze time :P
So we all woke up at 9+++ or 10++ for SOME KIDDOS WHO REFUSE TO WAKEUP. Hahaha. And checked out like zombies cos well, we didnt really sleep. Haha. And I went straight home, slept at 1pm till... 7pm! Lucky I'm having that time of the month so didn't miss any prayer times :X
Aiyoo so fun lah, I wish we could extend the chalet. haha. And I got to see my favourite boy after so long, alamak, I missed him so much man. So we celebrated our 25th at the chalet itself la. :)
So anywayyyy, I seriously have to find a calendar and pen down my schedule for the next 2 months or so. Bcos there's too many things on my plate and I need to organise my time or I'll be forgetting what I have on different days. Shingz man.
From tuitions..to surveys..to one-day jobs...to driving lessons..to marathons..to gatherings.. to just slacking at home xD
Oh speaking of surveys, wanna know a way to earn fast cash? (A clean way of course :P ). NUS is doing a survey and they need people for it so we'll get paid just by doing the survey. It's 15bucks per survey, and we need to do a minimm of 30. 450bucks earned just like that ;)
Okay I shall not get too excited bcos IT'S NOT BOUT THE MONEY MONEY MONEY~ WE DONT NEED YR MONEY MONEY MONEY~ WE JUST WANNA MAKE THE WORLD DANCE~ FORGT ABOUT THE PRICE TAG~
Hehe.
I'm still figuring out what to do with my Solutia pay, which I'll be getting next week. Donate some to masjid first? :)
I feel like going to USS again, although I've been there alrdy last year. But I heard there's many new rides now sooo.. I feel like going again! Haha.
Well Faizal is enlisting into army next week. Gotta see this 'boy' soon before he turns into a man when he's in there. hek hek.
Alright that's about it. My life is forever the same old same old, right? hahahaha. Bye peepol, it's gossip girl time (;
Hugs & kisses!

I'M OFFICIALLY UNEMPLOYED WEF FROM YESTERDAY :D
hehe.
Yesterday was my last day of work with Hannah and Fabian at Solutia, after 6 weeks there. Waking up freaking early, making my way from admiralty to commonwealth, going home at night...all over :)
As much as I'll get my free time back, I'll definitely miss working there. So many lovely friends and colleagues which I've became close to and many nostalgic moments with the 2 kiddos. I really like working there actually. Haha, plus so many lepak sessions :P Not forgetting the gym sessions every alternate day.
Oh BUT right, although ytd was our last day at work,our Inchareg have requested for us to come back monday morning to settle some more last minute stuffs. Actually there's still alot more work to complete, but it's unfortunately our last day..unless they ask us to extend further. Which I wont mind, just not for now or next week at least. Haha.
Because of work, I missed my sec4 gathering. And I havent met Faizal for 1.5 months! Now that's something! haha. Record ah. I guess when he goes in for BMT, the 2 weeks will be chicken for me? haha taklah just kidding. Wellll that's why I'm looking forward to meeting him this monday :D It's been sooooooooo long!
SO! Since work has ended, my plans for next week:
- This weekend tuition and madrasah as usual
- Monday-Tuesday will be having class chalet (hehe gonna be so fun)
- Meeting with some friends which I've not met for years
- That's all for now la cos I havent planned anything much actually.
I just realised April's gonna end soon!! SO FAST RIGHT. Can't believe it's gonna be half a year alrdy.
Okay that aside, I'm still waiting for the university letters to arrive. Yknow this is worst than waiting for Alevel results :/
Oh wells. What to dooo.. continue praying and insyaAllah I'll get them soon enough :/
It's 10.18pm now soo I'm going to watch gossip girl now! :)
p/s: CRAVING FOR ICECREAM DESPITE THE RED LIGHT. SO LONG NEVER EAT ICE CREAM!
Bye all :)) Have a good weekend ahead!
- Mood: chipper
Maybe because my prayers were answered? I dont know :)
But Alhamdulillah :')
It's the WEEKEND!! Time to let go of work, relax, and spend some time with your loved ones peeepol :)
But not for me though. Packed as usual, with tuition and a gathering on Sunday.
Cant wait for work to end officially next week!
XOXO.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Verily, Allah extends His hand out at night in order to accept the repentance of the sinner by day. And He extends His hand out during the day in order to accept the repentance of the sinner by night, until (the day) when the sun will rise from its west.” (Muslim)
p/s: Ice cream while watching gossip girl now :)
