Attraction...

It is simple really.. what you fear the most is inevitable. This is simply called the law of attraction.
The more you think of it, the less focus you are of the task at hand and this will cause that fear will show itself.
That is why Buddhism teaches us never to envy but be happy for others. Not to compare but be grateful.

So? Be good and do your work in the best way possible. After all, the only record you need to beat, is your own. ^^

I will miss all of it... I know I will...

I love those moments where you have the time to reflect on life. Yes.. my life has always been busy or I made it to be busy because I like it that way. I feel alive when I complete a task, be it a small one or a big one. This is one of those rare times where I have the chance to blog when I actually have the mood to. Sitting here alone with a great view in front of me, I reflected back through the last three years of my life.

I have a month left of my university life before I graduate into the working world. I am excited to work as I have many plans to carry out but in a way, I have a feeling that I would miss my university life. My university life did not start off as easily compared to other newbies like me. I had trouble fitting in due to some language barriers but I managed to pull through. Its all thanks to the support given to me by the people around me. The main support given were from 3 important individuals in my life (Mom , Sis and Jian). They made me fight for what I believe in and also for what I want. Without them, things wont even be as they are now.

Plenty of thanks to Ming Ming, whose support and hugs can be felt all the way from Malacca! Who could forget my Garfield-loving otaku friend,Keng Yee, who had accompanied me through the 17 years of my life and is now complaining she sees me too much. ^^ I could not be more grateful to have the opportunity to meet these two happy-go-lucky people, Sok Li and Ah Howe, who made me realized that life is meant to be enjoyed. You could never see a frown on their faces and they are often contented with what they have. Not to mention my techie friends, Frankie (the gummy bear crazed guy), PM (monkey + stuffed stuff + DSLR crazed gal) and McKhor (Haha.. I still can't be sure what he is crazy bout'). I'll always remember all the "sampat" things we do. There are many cherished memories... Memories I hope I will never forget.

I felt that with these people around me and the opportunities I took to learn, I managed to become more mature over these years. I am happier, much more responsible, more knowledgeable and I know what I want in life. The best part of all of these is that I can now managed to see things in a bigger picture and much more optimistic view.

I was not the only one who changed through these years. I had the chance to see others grow as well. There where those who came out stronger from all the challenges, more cheerful when facing difficulties and in the end , becoming a better person. Seeing these changes in those surrounding me, I managed to convince myself that people can change for the better if they are given the change along with a helping hand. Despite of some of the hardships I have been through, I am glad and I do not think I would change anything. I won't change the friends I have, the lesson I have learnt and most of all, I won't trade my experiences in this university. They helped made me who I am today.
