School is tough!
something rare that I will start for my blog post!
Something that I lack in my studies is MOTIVATION!
and it has been a long time since I met up with Eugene, close to three weeks?

I really wonder how the younger generation work in the future but oh wells, time to worry for myself to overcome it before anything else :)

22 Sep 2016 - September is ending sooon!!
Oh no! September is ending soon and I don't know if this is considered a good thing or not. Well, I am left with exactly three more months to complete my first trimester :) Homework, tests, project work has been flooding in since week 1 and hell yeah I am still surviving :)
I want to thank God, that I am more positive now and am able to take things slightly easier (I guess can be better). The word "stress" has no time to be in my dictionary lol
Things that keep me going:
- my dance every thursday
- my friends who consistently flood me with whatsapp message
- the love from friends
- the love from family
- of cos, the love from God
- the positivity that God has given me
All of these, they comforted me so much and never fails to keep me going in times of needs.
Today is thursday and I am so excited to go for the dance, I have been looking forward to it since yesterday. I would also like to spend more time with my grandma although school seemed to be killing everyone haha (talking to her now haha)
The sad thing about studying Hospitality is when you are researching about hotels or other tourism industries that made you want to travel!
I want to go Hong Kong Disneyland!!!
I miss those times, I kept singing my songs non-stop, those times I can lie in front of the tv, miss my hours of sleeping, miss my friends, miss my freedom etc
How do I accomplish all of them during my holidays? LOL, friends be understanding okay?
School is really a killer, it was so bad to a point I have to spend my trip to school to read through my notes before class.. I have been planning out my time and wow, just being so packed hahaha, more packed than work!
Anyway, I would like to take this time to congratulate Eugene Lim for signing his contract at PSA! Yes, he is finally back! It was quite funny to think of it as he left, I left and he returns haha don't worry, I don't know if I will return as I may be working in a different field :) Jiayou and you can do it and hopefully you can adapt the environment there soon :)
Lastly, jiayou to everyone in whatever you are doing :)

18 Sep 2016 - Week 3 of school begins...
I do not know if I should feel excited or not for the third week of school.
Today, I was just sharing with my church friends about how being a student changed me in some way...
I feel so negative inside me to an extent that I will appreciate the small little things, and that was what made me so thankful :)
I guessed they felt me according to their facial expression and guess what..
the hope appeared when Yi En sat with us, she told me like she has don't know who and who who works at hotels, all together she assured me about 4 contacts and I was really like... the feeling of seeing the light of the tunnel and yes again, I AM THANKFUL!
And, Grace and I talked about predestination, chim chim and debatable topic, kind of glad there were conclusions made and we managed to catch up with one another. I guess it was a blessing in disguise that sermon ended early.
So here I am, doing research on peer-reviewed articles for one of my 1,000-word essay. Honestly, of all modules, I hate this one.. All about writing and the lecturer does not really teach well and and and IT IS NOT A CORE MODULE! So whatever! I will just do my best and jiayou guys!
Things to do:
1) Think of praise and worship songs for YZ next week
2) Revise POM notes
3) Peer-reviewed articles
4) Submit SQM and OBM by tonight
Things I miss:
1) all my friends
2) shopping
3) sleeping more
4) seafood
5) truffle fries, mac and cheese at holland
6) going on an adventure or a little bit of sports haha
7) working.... hahaha

17 Sep 2016 - What is left?
Hi all, the title has always been in my head every single minute for every single day. To be honest, there are really tons of assignments so much so I can weight them in tons! okay so not funny~
Comparing to work, each time I tick off something from the checklist I have this sense of completion and achievement, the joy that I have lesser things on hand. But for school, each time I tick off something, it is more of a sense of relief that I know that I will not have to face it again.
Frankly speaking, I was so excited to go back to school to study what I love doing and probably see myself working in such industry in the future. However, when school starts, I was just like traumatised on the very first day. I thought the first week could chill at least but I was wrong, totally wrong. I still feel that the first week from now is more chilled even though I did not chill lol...
Trimester is worse than Semester, let us all just face this. But guess what, I feel that deep down I feel negative therefore even the smallest thing that makes me happy made me appreciate things and people even more. Despite all these work, I was taught that they are not important! Jesus compared a camel going through the hole of a needle vs a man going to heaven. So what is homework and stress to me in this context? I can say that yes I am stress every single day for real and no joke because I know that once I am done with work, there are more to come and it just keeps adding non-stop until I realised I dont live the way I do last time. My time gets eaten away very fast and I will miss many outing opportunities with my friends. Every single pocket of time counts and I want to make full use of it, even the time I take to blog.
On the contrary, I want to thank God for many things. I hope that through this painful trimesterssss to come, they will make me a more thankful person :) Also, to love the people around me.

16 Sep 2016 - Happy Friday
Hello everyone! So hows everyone doing?
I am here to blog about my friday~
by the way, current housing plan haha sounds high class.. I MEANT where I am currently staying.
Sunday to Thursday at my parents' house, Friday to Saturday my grandma's house
What do I like about friday?
Answer : Is going to school :)
Heard that? Read that? I am so sure you did haha and did it right!
Yes, I love friday classes about the POM lecturer I was obsessed with (ultimated SALUTE and RESPECT) repeat after me!
Today, while I was taking train I was quite worried as it was raining and the train was moving slow.
Having a joker classmate named Jonathan who offer to get my F&B with complimentary chope seat hahaha I rejected the F&B and told him the seat more important and yes HE GOT ME A PERFECT SEAT like in the middle of the class and thank you so much Shi Qi for getting me ribena~
My friends are so nice!
Knowing that your marketing answer is right for tutorials gives you the sense of perfect achievement, why perfect.. Well, the feeling of knowing that your answers are wrong is totally opposite of feeling perfect lol..
Today's marketing lecturer was way faster than the week before. Like what Jonathan said, she is faster than the train you are taking, well I am so sure about that mann! hahaha
I am glad that I managed to at least finalise 2 of my assignments, probably need to brush up a bit but I am really really feeling great about it!
I want to thank God for friends really, they helped me to reduce stress in any way and every way, making me have a sense of belonging haha and one great person I would like to thank is Eugene Lim.
Thank you so much for tolerating ALL of my nonsense and rubbish all the time, thank you for always being there, dedicated to print my lecture notes (not forgetting the kind hearted Melody Siew hahaha), thank you for respecting my busy schedule and my family :)
one group to give thanks for, Our Dance Will Never End, indeed, I guess it is hard for it to end. You guys have brought to me so much laughter and fun and I truly enjoy my time spent with you guys! And you all know and could tell I felt stress, I am just so touched by all of your concerns and love!
I really thank God for all these and I cant wait to thank for more~
Gambatte people and have a great weekend ahead :)

14 Sep 2016 - A peaceful wednesday
Today is a day of like maybe a little of perfect peace. I was lazing in bed for an extra 15 mins before I got out and get my breakfast from downstairs. It has been a long time since I went downstairs to get my breakfast. While queuing at the hawker centre, I was just observing the people ordering their food. Most of them were elderly. I have no idea why but looking at them chatting with their friends, sitting at one table reading newspapers and ordering food just makes me smile. Their lives are so simple and they are so easy to feel happy and witnessing all these made me happy too. Do not ask me why I felt this way, I have no idea why I was so into observing them haha.
Went back home and yayyy I realised that at 8am every morning, channel 8 will show the episode of previous night's 9pm tv program. So without any hesitation, I made myself comfortable and watched it for a good half an hour. I guess I was quite motivated to do my principles of marketing (POM) tutorial this morning. Probably because I like the lecturer (ultimate salute and respect) lol. It shocked me that I took like at least an hour on one question, wait, I mean like a sub-question. Not because I have many things to write, I was typing out what I feel was the answer and re-arranging them accordingly. Surprising harh~
By the way, thank you Michelle for helping me out in some marketing terms I did not understand. So this is how I spent my morning....
went to grandma's house for lunch and came back home again to start my revision for Service Quality Management (SQM) and there goes my afternoon.
Pretty peaceful isnt it?
I think I have been a little hardworking but I do not think it is hardworking enough because the amount of work I am having does not determine it. Anyway, thank God I have manage to complete some assignments :)
Tomorrow will be another peaceful day for me I hope~
JIAYOU Everybody!
PS : I cannot wait for POM class on friday! by the way, the lecturer for POM is very very intense! She appears fierce, talks very very fast, very professional. So whenever I mention about her, I will always say ultimate SALUTE and RESPECT! Her classes are interesting and I love how she give examples to explain her topic. My first impression of her was not really good, because she said "Dont call yourself a business student if you are not even good in your english" WOW BURNT EVERYONE IN THE CLASS~ but things changed when she said if you need 0.5 marks to pass your exams or go to the next grade, I will look at your class participation. So if your behave yourself, I will give you that necessary mark because your deserve it. Once again, ULTIMATE SALUTE and RESPECT!
Goodnight guys, going to eat durian with my parents :)

13 Sep 2016 - Home is where the heart is
Hi everyone, it is me again blogging about my life.
To be honest, and not pin pointing anyone or anything, I have noticed that I have been pretty negative IN LIFE! IN LIFE LEH LOL... why am I thinking so much?
In my own life, there are ups and downs waiting for me to face and making me face as well, or rather has already made me faced them. I think ever since I starting working, my personality or perspective of seeing things are going down the hill. Is that considered as emo? lol.. so yeah...
However, God has blessed me with friends in school, pretty good friends though and I am really thankful for that :) They are nice people who will really help you and lend you a listening ear whenever you feel helpless. Actually, they feel as helpless as you just that I am more expressive I guess.
School work:
So well, if you ask me how has school been for me. If I have to answer that question one week ago, my answer will be "gosh, damn stress! I need to adapt for real, it takes time and it is hard". But if I have to answer the question now, my answer will be "haha more or less getting used to it already, and probably is getting smoother but more work though hahaha." It is piling and it is getting more and more real. One good news I can always reassure myself is that I am starting to enjoy what I am studying and learning. I guess, it is really time to prioritise and manage my studies (which I have been doing).
I am so sorry for not being consistent on my blog. I have no idea who reads it now. But let me reassure you all that I am fine, yes there are ups and downs going on but I was told to stay positive :)
Somethings that make me happy:
One of the recent things that make me happy is seeing my grandma and brother. I miss them! Currently, I am staying in my parents' house and wow they are making the effort to help me feel comfortable staying there. I am glad I can sleep better now :)
Another is to go for my weekly dance lesson. I will be performing a dance item for one of my church service and yes, we are all working on it and that to me is an honour so hard to find.
and of cos outings with people I love and treasure... need not drill too much into it..
so yes, wait for my updated post! Thank you.
JIAYOU and BE POSITIVE guys!!!

7 Sep 2016
Hi guys, sorry that I MIA-ed for a while. I have been switching from house to house so a lot of confusions going on lol. Let me say something:
LIFE HAS BEEN STRESSFUL SINCE THE START OF SCHOOL!
Well, I am totally not kidding at all.
Day 1: The first day of school where I had my first lecture about Introduction to Tourism Industry, the lecturer spent like one hour introducing herself and stressing us with all the work we need to do (technically the work felt like bombs, going to school every day is like stepping on a minefield), and the other hour teaching for real and she only covered a section of Chapter 1 - historical development of Tourism Industry. BORINGGG~
WHATTT...
Day 2: more bombs hahaha... More work were introduced to us and stressing us about the deadline like no one's business. I felt really stress out and for a moment, it felt like I rather work than to study BUT NO, Sophia Han does not give up so easily.
I was also pissed off about printing lecture notes, printed out so many and the lecturers just made it so confusing. I am glad this is more or less over. After printing out all the Service Quality Management notes, the lecturer said "Please do not print out all the notes as I might make some changes..." like why did you not say earlier in the announcement box or what... MY TIAN!
More bombs detected as I entered more classrooms for more lessons hahaha
Day 3: I went for a site visit to do some journal writing. Completed my day by studying at starbucks! Totally an experience for me as it was my first time and I could really concentrate after a while. I also "shun bian" made a friend who shared his multi-plug with me as the second power source was not working. He was quite helpful in helping me to take care of my stuff, especially my laptop. Brighten my day by meeting Ling Ling for dinner hahaha
So these have been my life, pretty sad but I guess it has helped me in some way such as prioritizing my work. I must always remember and tell myself that, it was never easy to get into this course so since I am one of the chosen one, I should not give up!
JIAYOU PEOPLE!

4 Sep 2016 : School starts TOMORROW
Hi guys,
I have some people who asked me "so when is your school?", "your school starting?" and "are you feeling excited?"
Honestly, answer for the first two questions is the title itself and frankly speaking, I do have mixed feelings about it.
It has been a while since I touched things like LECTURE NOTES, TUTORIAL, STUDY PLAN, TIMETABLES. I am feeling kind of anxious, excited, nervous.. probably it should be a time of adaptation right?
I am not prepared for school, well, emotionally haha.
One thing I would like to thank God for is that He has helped me to get to know more friends, especially my coursemates (I think so far I have made more than enough, but I think I am too positive on that). I am also thankful to the group of girls I have been contacting since the credit exemption briefing day in July 2016 (one of them even asked if I needed help in printing the lecture notes).
Another thing to update, I have moved back to stay with my parents hahaha those who read my previous blog may know how it feels and all. Well, so far so good, however, one main restriction is the wifi connection, only can connect when I am at the living room so technically speaking, I only can do work at the living room...
I have not really organised all my stuff as some of my mum's stuff are still on my table. I will miss my grandma and brother ~ I am sure my grandma will miss me too!! She was so sweet to buy a foldable table for me and said that it is my university present! hahaha
As for my daily allowance, hmm, my dad has agreed to give but currently, I still have some cash with me so it is ok :)
Goals to set for myself since school is starting like tomorrow:
1) No vulgarities / cursing / swearing
2) Never be late for lessons and exams
3) Revise my lecture notes the day before
4) Try to complete my work on time
5) Take effort to take good care of my face
6) Be happy and smile always
7) Be social and make more friends
7 is enough. I did this before with one of my best friends, Aaron haha.. Now that he is in army, I am sure he will be proud of me to have this set for myself, some of them I still kept it the same like 1) and 6) haha :)
Anyway, to the friends who are working, JIAYOU! To the friends who are schooling, I will know your pain soon. To the friends who are looking for jobs, let me know (I will try my best to help you guys).
Goodnight people :)
