230405...A tribute to all my superb friends who make my day today and the wonderful things they do for me's enough to make me smile for the whole day!!!!
1st paper of the last examination in NUS...the paper starts at 9am..plenty of good friends, friends who know me sooo well, gave me wake-up calls at 7am...all 4 of them..PW, ZR, and the Tan bros (all 4 of them with 5 minutes interval each)..haha..knowing what a sleepy-head i'm, they all make sure to give me a wake-up call latest at 7am..because according to them, they've mentally calculated the shortest time needed for me to change and grab a cab to fly to sch..cause NUS's in the West and my pl's in the East..so they estimated that if i'm stil sleeping when they call at 7am, i'll prob still make it to sch for the paper in time...so touching rite??i mean, my other competitive classmates would probably wish that i'll oversleep and get myself retained for another sem...Oh my god, just realised how nice my friends are..Muacks!!--this is for the 4 of you...
Was really tired..but after having lunch and shopping (for the right reasons) with PW,my tiredness just disappear...long enough for me to not fall asleep in the middle of mass (although now i have no recollection of what Father said previously) but it's starting to kick in when i'm writing this diary..Yawn..anyway, i went shopping because my dear bro's getting married on Labor's Day (i only realised it when Father announced the change in mass timings for Labor Holiday..)..i wonder what's the significance of him getting married on that day...Hmm..is he hinting that the day is the start of him being the slave and labourer for my sister-in-law??haha..what a feministic thinking..but he loves her so much..think he dun mind toiling for her..haha..Anyway,I grabbed PW to search for a nice dress after the Counseling paper this morning..Sobz..din manage to get anything decent (at least in my opinion)..Oh no, what to do??the wedding's in a week's time and i'm so tied up with exams to shop for nice clothes..ya ya..i know i'm not the bride so the focus's not on me..but my bro's eligible friends might, you know, turn their attention to me wat...you never know..haha..think i'm crazy..still, for my dear bro, i'll make an effort to go shopping again on Mon and try to get something...i can feel my pocket tearing already...that's how much "face" i'm givin you ah, my dearest bro..
Back to more mugging...3 more papers to go...
Prayer:"Lord, tomorrow's the 1st mass conducted by Pope Benedict the XVI on St Peter's square. Give the Pope strength and courage to be your humble servant and to serve the people whole-heartedly. Thank you for being with me throughout my exam today, and for giving me all these wonderful friends..i know they're your angels for me because i can feel your presence in them...Do guide them along your way God. In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."

200405....just thank God for giving me an uneventful day yesterday and he took that away from me today.....1st I tried to change the date for my teaching interview..i can't...but i managed to change the time....Stupid rite??Dun they understand that i dun want to go for the interview anytime on the day???When they asked me why, i wanted to lie that i have a paper the day be4 the interview and on the day itself, so i needed the time to revise...but the interview's on Monday!!...then i just said i have exams on the day itself...and she allowed me to be the 1st interviewee..Sigh...i should just tell her i already have a job and thus no need to teach...Look what i've gotten myself into...
Next, my sup SG called me in the noon...Here's how our conversation went:
SG:"Hi KArE_frEe, can i talk to you for a min?"
K:" Sure, what's up?"
...sILENCE.....
SG:"eRM..Harlow??You still there??"
K: "yes....of course.."
...sILENCE aGAIN.....
SG:"just wondering if you've taken up the job at XXX?"
K:" Oh, yes i did!"
...sILENCE aGAIN aGAIN.....
...mORE sILENCE.....
K:"Hello, you still there? actually i'll be helping MC with the testing at XXX..you know.."
SG:"I see..."
...sILENCE aGAIN aGAIN aGAIN.....
SG:"Okie..alright then"
K:"SIr, you have anything you wanna tell me?"
SG:" nO, It's alright now.."
K:"alright, so bye!"
SG:"bye.."
As you can see, i'm so not used to talking to him over the phone...and apparently it's hard for him to breach what he wants to say...i know what he wants to say...but sorry Sir, i've disappoint you...4give me for not telling you be4 hand...i felt really bad after i hung up the call...i felt like betraying him....when i know that it's not the case.....Sorry Sir....Thank you sooooo much for all your guidance the past 2 yrs and the various opportunities and freedom that you've given over the research.....Oh, he msged me later in the evening to ask me to help him out after the exams.....guess i'll do that..even though i wanted that week to enjoy be4 i officially start work.....i think that'll be a good thing to do...at least for my conscience. I hope he'll allow my friend to work for him.....i know she's a responsible gal who can help him...
Prayer: "God, i know you must have planned this path for me..i'm not complaining...i just hope that whatever decisions i make, i do not hurt anyone, including myself...I know you're with me when i ruminate all the options i have..hence i do not feel that much of burden on me...Thank You! Thank you for the new Pope, may he serve your people with your teachings well...In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."

3 more days to my 1st paper...Counseling...completely not in the mood to study...Wonder if it's because i've already gotten a job hence the lax..Just gotten the letter for the interview for teaching....God, it came too late...i always thought i'll teach because i wanna experience the touching emotions that students gave to their teachers...Expecially on Teachers' Day...and i really wanted to get more in touch with the teenagers (forget about the cute but noisy kids)..to understand how they feel, to make a difference in their lives...any maybe, i can "bio" my cute students...C'mon, that's the best (and open) way to stare at the cute guys man...haha..sorry, me and my fantasies again...
Anyway, i decided to give the interview a try, and try to see if i can get in...just to satisfy my competitive nature...thought it's crazy how my classmates are all trying to get a piece of the teaching pie..yet here i am, going for the interview...Different ppl have different goals i guess..and i know that i'll never teach in this coming life...cause' i love to be an psychologist in my field..Hmm...wonder what's become my friend (you know who you are) who initially wanted to become a psychologist after watching that TVB drama by Xuan Xuan...hey, has that bubble burst??hehe...
Hmm..let's end by a prayer: "God, thanks for another uneventful day...i'm not complaining..just grateful that nothing's happened to my loved ones and me...Please bless me for the 1st exam paper this sat..it's by VT..you know, i dun really like her..hope she can be lenient to me...In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen"

Today, 180405 is an important day for me...nope...sorry to disappoint all my hopeful friends..i'm not getting married (Although I wish i'm)...I'VE FOUND THE 1ST PERMANENT JOB IN MY LIFE!!!I finally signed the contract today...The icing on the cake is that i got the job be4 i grad....Thank God!!!Thought i'll be one of the jobless souls roaming on the streets...no, i'm not despising them...just too lazy to imagine myself going from 1 interview to another under the sun and rain...
But there's only one problem...i dunnoe how much is the pay!!!!!haha...my friends who are reading this, i know you must be saying "what's new?she's 4eva sooooo blur.." yes, that's me..blur like wat...not that i'm so filthy rich that i dun have to care about the pay..it's just that it's something i really want to do so i'm not really bothered by the pay...anyway, lower pay = lower tax..so maybe it's not such a bad thing after all..haha
Let me end it by saying "Thank you Lord for being with me all these while, and for making all these possible".
