It's Perfect 10th today :) How fast moments come and go... Memories built and lost in the back of one's mind... Having weathered through so much together, will this fortress built on trust, happiness and love continue to withstand any storm or disintegrate at the slightest blow of the wind? It's not easy to build a fortress, much less preserve it for the many years to come. In case you may be wondering what I'm using the word 'fortress' to describe, it is to describe a relationship. A fortress is a tower that people use to shelter themselves... just like a relationship, the parties involved have each other for comfort, to shelter each other from the storms outside, be they problems from work, family or any other problems. The building blocks of a fortress would similarly be the foundation of a relationship... built on either solid or shaky ground. A strong fortress, indicating a strong and lasting relationship, would be one built on alot of trust and love. I believe trust is the key to all relationships. Without trust, love alone will not sustain a relationship. The fortress would then start to crumble even at the slightest blow of the wind. On the other hand, a relationship built on trust would also naturally encompass love. With both elements, I believe the fortress would be able to survive even the fiercest storm. That is the lesson I've learnt today, to have trust. A meaningful quote from Hayden Panettiere that has stirred my soul would be "to love the people around you like you could wake up tomorrow and they're not there anymore". With that being said, I'm going to start loving everyone around me to the fullest, to treasure the people in my life right now so that in the case where I'm not able to see them the next day, I would still have loved without regret. On this note, I would just like to say to my baby that I promise to love you and cherish you with all my heart and even if I may not be beside you one day, I would like you to know that I've loved you to the best I could ever have. Even though today is only our 14th Perfect 10th, the numbers will keep rolling right? :)
My life before Wednesday was filled with alot of uncertainties and anxieties as up till then, I wasn't confirmed an offer for a place to study yet 0.0 Imagine my worry! While others are preparing to start school soon, there I was, worrying about my last hope. Nevertheless, God is merciful and faithful as he helped me through my SIM interview on Wednesday :) Jumping to that, I had my fateful interview on Wednesday, one which would determine if I had a place to study this year. I made sure everything went the way I had planned it to be, including looking great haha. I had planned everything to the slightest detail, like what time to call the taxi and what to eat so I wouldn't be too full or get a stomachache etc. After the dramatic morning episode, I reached the SIM Headquarters half an hour early. Went up to the 6th floor with the company of my mum (so grateful for such a caring mother) and waited for my turn. There were other interviewees there waiting, all of them my potential course mates to be lol. My mum, being the social butterfly, went around socialising with my future course mates, helping me do PR (Public Relations) with them. In the end, I made a new friend which my mum hit off with the most, through a simple handshake and the introduction of my name 0.0 Went for my interview earlier as I was there really early and they had space for one more. Was relieved that it was a group interview of 3, as I would have some company, as well as people to share the scrutiny! =x Anyway, the interview went smoothly and I was asked only 1 simple yet crucial question, that being, "tell me something about yourself that is not stated in your application". Immediately, the answer struck my mind and I believed that God was the one who put the answer in my head. After quite a bit of preparing for Econs questions and other possible interview questions, my effort paid off and I was really pleased with my answer. I had replied, "I worked for the Royal Bank of Scotland for a few months as a temporary clerk and some of my colleagues were graduates from SIM and they were holding stable jobs despite the recession. That was why I chose SIM. That was why I made SIM my choice." If that's not God I don't know what else it can be haha. I had actually complimented SIM while answering the question, linking my reply in a smooth and quick fashion. From the looks of my interviewers, I could tell they were pleased. To cut the long story short, I finally have a place to study! I thank my daddy God for making all these possible and I know that's what he wants for me and that it's best for me. After that, went for lunch with baby and caught 'I Love You Man' at The Cathay, our favourite cinema :) After that, went to baby's house for a while before I went home. That would be how we spent our early perfect 10th celebration haha. My next milestone will be my driving test on 22nd July at 11 am. I believe that once again, God will see both myself and baby through and we'll pass our driving tests at the first attempt. I love you daddy God! Jesus loves everyone :)
