Settling in the comfort of my room with soothing music being played and a few glasses of Chilean Merlot to call it a night.
It is finally time to call for a little closure to yet another journey in the self pursuit of education. After a gruesome lovely two years of juggling between working in the day and lessons at night and sometimes spending time with the amazing one. Days can be rather hectic and tiring but yet an enjoyable one.

The days leading to the finals was nerve-racking and tormenting one. Lack of proper rest and inadequate knowledge of what is suppose to be tested. Sleepless nights with the occasional thoughts about her, wondering if there is still any hope in keeping the faith. Sometimes i wish for some sign, or some sort of enlightenment.

Quoting a friend; Good things are worth waiting for. In life, we don't always get what we want. It is only when we work hard for what we want, then it becomes something that we truly cherish. How do you define working hard, i asked? It could be refining of skills, perfecting of certain works or maybe improving our character. Sometimes, we may not be ready for what we want. In waiting, we learn patience, and we discover if we really want something that much, and how much we are willing to go the extra mile for it. As time passes, maybe our desire will fade away, but if not, we will be more ready to receive when the time is ripe.
Truly wise words indeed.

Education isn't much about preparing yourself to enter the working society but rather it put you in an interesting mix of human dynamics and help you figure out who you truly are and how you relate to the various characters in life. It harness your social skills and help you understand who are the ones that you can swing along and truly forge a friendship.
It is never friends for benefit but rather friends who are beneficial. Whom you know that you do not need to ask, but they will always be willing to be there in any aspects with clear lines drawn.
In this 2 years, i have met many and i can only say there are only a few who i am willing to embrace as friends. I am glad and it is a privilege to me. For what is the future remain untold, but i am sure with time to come, the friendship will not be forsaken.
Thank you my friends, for the precious time you have spent with me, the laughter that kept me sane, the advices which strengthened me. I am glad you shared your love as that is what kept me believing that humans are born with a selfless heart, and it is often a personal choice whether he choose to be selfless or selfish, to receive or to provide.

I am never someone who is good with numbers therefore i reckon theories are pretty much my cup of tea. I am glad i can be of some help to you guys even though it was the last semester. I hope i did well in my coaching and we will all sail through this course. Coaching and teaching is something i hold close to my heart, i believe that what i have taught might somehow be imprinted in your mind and that you will carry it forward to your future endeavors. Thank you for offering me this opportunity to help you guys, it was an honour.

To our friendship, cheers.

Having read the synopsis before Midnight of Paris was screen in the theaters, i know it is a must watch movie. I am certain it is a movie which you will love to watch. I intended to catch the movie alone as i know no one from my circle of friends who love such movie beside you and her. Midnight in Paris is a lighthearted movie that express the profound insights of living and it urge us to move away from our comfort and seek for what we truly desire. Being a nostalgic freak, i definitely love this movie.
I walk out of the theater feeling surreal and having a smile on my face.
When was the last time i had a smile on my face after a movie? That expression of mine is precious. Smile.

I have been readily giving out money to people who asked. I wasn't born rich and neither do i hold on to a job which offer me a 5 figure salary however i always believe in 'when you ask, you will receive and only if you deserve'. Poverty gap in Singapore have been expanding at a rapid pace, sometimes it saddens me to see little boys asking for money to buy some food. Homeless old man sitting by the pavement begging for some money. Therefore, i will give if i can but come to think about it, will they stop begging or asking when they had enough? Will they pay it forward and help others if one day they have extra or will they just keep asking and begging. To help can be a crime yet not to help can also be a crime.
Who deserve to be help and who don't?
I guess as long as i can help, why bother asking who should be help. I just hope that my little help will make their day a better one.
