(If you're even still keeping track of my posts of course)
I'm back to blogging (I reckon!)
* inserts trumpets and horn sound *
* throws confetti *
Yass, I'm back b**ches!
Apparently my last post was like from 2013?
Wow, that's like 3 years of being inactive here.
Yes, don't worry - many things has changed and improved in some areas of my live across this 3 years. But not all were good tho.
Hmm, let me try to do a little summary of what happened to me in this span of 3 years.
It's going to be quite a lengthy post tho, please stay with me!
It's going to be quite a lengthy post tho, please stay with me!
There's no time to waste so..
LET'S GO!
So yes, limbu graduated from my dearest & most heartfelt secondary school - Peirce Sec!
- But in case you didn't hear, my school is going to merge with Bishan Park soon due to the low intake of students cause you know, population growth is declining in Singapore.
" OH HOT ISSUE! " literally.
My clique, most of us, successfully enrolled into Polytechnic to pursue our Diploma after getting our 'O' Level results. Although results wasn't that fantastic, I'm still extrememly sastisfied and happy.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm now a Full-Time student at Republic Polytechnic pursing my
Integrated Events Management with one my good friend, Wanling!
It's funny how back when we were like in Secondary 1 or 2, we both actually mentioned we wanted to study Events Management although few years past by, both of us had a little change of heart (She wanted to take Arts Management and for me, I was quite into Psychology or Mass Communication for a period of time) but look where we are now, doing the same diploma!
- Talk about coincidence & fate!
Now now, I know what you're thinking:
"What, RP? Isn't that school like the lousy polytechnic?"
HEY HEY HOLD YOUR BLOODY HORSES.
"Yes, keep it there."
For the record, I actually had that mindset too but apparently, RP is a freaking good polytechnic and I have no regrets being enrolled in this school.
All is well here in RP - Teachers, school environment, friends, etc.
The teaching style here really suits me well for my learning and all plus besides, the course I wanted (Events Management) is only offered in RP and SP so yeah, NO REGRETS!
If I am given the option to choose again, I'll definitely choose RP so..
Nuff said.
Yassss, I'm done with my Year 1 in Poly!
Everything is going smoothly, I've made good friends here in Poly and I am fortunate to have good teachers that took my classes for the past 2 semesters.
Nonetheless, exams was always a scary period for me still.. YIKES!
I'm currently phasing to my Year 2 soon and to be honest, I'm equally scared and excited:
1. I'm afraid I can't cope with my Business Modules cause looking at my Year 1 Semester 2 results for Business Modules, it is definitely not my best performance.
2. Classmates that I'll have in my class - Though I'm glad I got a few close ones in the same class with me next Semester so I guess everything will be a-okay!
3. Teachers - I really don't want to get a shitty teacher. From what I heard from my other friends, they got teachers who really can't teach well or either they are too new for the job and they did not understand the lessons. Oh please please, I want a good teacher!
Oh yes, March just passed and to be honest, it was the busiest month for me EVER in my life.
As you can see above, anything that has a black dot below the numbers, means I had things on that day.
I literally didn't have any breather for the entire march.
- Had workshops
- Had an overseas trip to Cambodia for 2 weeks
- Had meetings every now and then for my school's Welcome Camp for the new freshman in RP, School of Hospitality (SOH)
I felt personally the overseas trip took up majority of the time but it was very fulfilling.
We were in Cambodia for 2 weeks with this group here, we were split into 2 teams:
- Team 1 is tasked to do a brochure for the tourist visiting the school as the school is located within a tourist area where there were monastery, temple etc.;
Build a shelter as a resting place for the tourists who visits the place - Team 2 is tasked to improve marketing strategics for a pottery shop within Siem Reap, etc.
(not too sure about what they were doing because different teams, haha)
This is the shelter that my team (Team 1) has built, together with the carpenter.
Trust me, it's not easy. As most of us have no experience on how to build this, we just really took our hard effort to help construct this for them.
You have no idea what lies under that cement. It's not an easy thing.
We had to do digging, pounding, laying of bricks, etc.
"All work but no play makes Jack a dull boy."
True enough, other than working our physical and mental (drafting a map for the tourist) strength, we got the play football, Captain's Ball (we taught them) and Volleyball with the Secondary and Primary school kids there.The people living in Cambodia has it tough,
like literally.
They have to
know everything:
Gardening, farming, fixing, construction, etc. as their way of life.
Of course, the hardest part was to say goodbye to them.
They left us little gifts and words tell us: "See you soon", told us they will miss us..
But little did they know, "See you soon" would never come probably..* heart wrenching *
"I pray that every single one of you, to grow up achieving that little dream of yours, doing something big in the future; have good health so you guys don't have to worry about medical fees & lastly,
lead a happy life."
lead a happy life."
After that, we flew back to homeland Singapore.
& that's when all my workload is back.
Planning for Welcome Camp because I'm the Program IC for my camp.
It was challenging as I didn't have much experience handling such trusted task but all was well, managed to pull up a good camp for everyone.
Thankful for my awesome program team <3 nbsp="" p="">3>
LOVE YOU ALL!
Okay that is all for now.
I won't say much. I'll talk in details soon.
Just to sum all these up, it has been a fun and fulfilling 3 years.
People come and go but those who stuck through it all, I thank you for that.
For _ _ _ _,
I don't know if you'll read this but just wanted to let you know that you're forever still in my thoughts no matter how much the world has changed around us. Many times, I wanted to approach you and ask if are you alright right but then again I remember how you shut me off thus I thought that if I were to do that, I'm afraid I might trigger you and you'll be all sad again.
Heads up, I'm still here no matter what for you tho not physically. I didn't forget the promises I made to you - those aren't lies. I still care for you alright x
Do leave me DM or whatsoever whenever you're ready to speak to me again alright. I'm here to listen to your problems, be your punching bag if you need one.
I still care for you.
Please take good care of yourself alright. You're stronger than you think you are xoxo.
Till then :)
Psst, I'll update the layout and design of my blog soon, stay tuned!
