Misses
My Indonesia maid left Singapore today. I decided not to send her off to the airport as I was afraid that I can't control my tears. :(
My grandmother cried when my maid bid farewell. It was heart-wrecking to see my grandmother in tears. The first few months, my grandmother couldn't get along with my maid. K, as her granddaughter I know that my ah ma is extremely hard to please & extremely demanding too. However my maid didn't argue back with her- she kept her cool & showed patience towards them.
I'll miss my maid & grandmother conversing in Malay. I'll miss my maid's cooking. I'll miss her motherly love & her spoken broken english (lol).
Usually I only treat my maids as my personal alarm clocks + chef but this time, I don't treat her that way. I treated her as a friend, as someone I respected, someone I looked up to- especially her tolerance level. She isn't like any of the previous maids who were rude to my parents just after being new to the country. She wasn't.
She does the household chores fast but yet efficient. & even though today was her last day in Singapore, she still got up early to wash clothes & even bothered to make my grandparents' usual milo & Horlicks.
Many of her traits like being tolerate, always do what you can, keep on learning, etc, can apply to my nursing.
Dear God, I pray that You bless her journey to her hometown. Please watch over her & I pray that she gets home safely into her husband's & daughter's arms. Hope that she has a safe flight. I ask You Lord to bless her family & that she be safe. In Christ's name. Amen.
Thank you, irma. For everything.

What I learnt during my first year in poly
*survival tips* LOL
(Note to self too)
1) Pay attention during lectures. It helps, it's better than doodling on lecture notes or even recording down the lecture.
2) Sleep is vital. Don't neglect it.
3) Sweets are your new best friends. Pop one or two during lessons to ensure that you don't fall asleep.
4) Be on tasked. Spread work out. Don't cram.
5) Packing bread to school may sound nerdy but i got to admit that it curbs those awful hunger pangs.
6) Spare papers do come in handy in case you forgotten to bring lesson notes.
7) This is especially for the girls- bring extra sanitary pads in case of emergency. Never rely on others to bring for you. Thank god I had nice people to give me then. *phew*
8) Don't be so open to tell others your secrets. You never know who's going to exaggerate or worsen relationships between you and someone else.
9) Communication is a 2 way process. If you're trying your best to maintain the conversation while the other party don't seem to make any damn effort to keep the conversation going, move on. That person is an asshole & it's not meant to be your friend.
10) No one really cares whether you're miserable so might as well be happy.
11) True friends are hard to find in poly. But if you do have 1 or 2 friends that you can trust & click, treasure them. For they're rare.
12) Help people. Regardless of how many times they did or did not help you. A good deed is a good deed. Who knows? Maybe you might need their assistance in the future.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Really hope that I can click with my classmates in year 2. Really hope & pray that they're awesome people with kind hearts & souls *cross fingers*
Please Lord please give me good classmates that I can also call them my friends instead of just mere 'classmates'.
I know year 2 is gonna be much, much stressful & harder than year 1 but I got to try my best & not give up :D
I just don't wanna feel so lonely like how lonely I felt & was during first semester in poly. I hate the first semester so badly & I'll never, ever wanna recall those memories ever again.
;(

We're empty
"we can't blame others when love dwindles away- For we know from the start it never promised to stay."
Guess time changes it from 'i think of you every night before I sleep' to 'i still like you but you're not worth it anymore'.
Feelings come, feelings go.
You're not longer worth the fight anymore. Seriously just count the number of times you've made me disappointed. I'm sorry, but I'm definitely not patient when it comes to this. Probably after a few more days, this feeling will surpass. Maybe. I don't know.
All I know is that I shouldn't waste time on someone who doesn't even bother to make time for me.

Something worth remembering
Every girl should take at least one picture with an A&F model.
The feeling's is better than 10 orgasms & when eating a cheesecake ^^
Okay. Maybe I exaggerated.
But seriously, it's worth the experience.

Forever alone??
Saw a guy that looked like my first love while I was having dinner with yuli. Haizz.
But to end the day right, yuli & I helped 2 lost ah ma to the lrt & mrt stations
^^ felt pretty good about helping people.
Its weird- just before I was about to tell yuli how stupid I was to be unable to get into PJC & lament all over again, the 2 ah ma approached me & asked for directions. I felt like it was a sign from God telling me that nursing is like my calling, what He wants me to do.
I just feel it.
Oh well.
Happy Valentines Day.
