So what happened between the strange gap between Mid Feb and June, well the past 6 months have been quite a strange transition into a new phase. So this is just a short summary of an update.
1) I am now in my final year in Ngee Ann Poly. Specialising in Human Capital Management, and will be doing my second specialisation in Psychology the next semester.
2) I had a 2 months internship at Fellowship of Evangelical Students, which didn't feel much of an internship because I was doing my third point half of the time.
3) I went for a 18 day trip to Thailand + Laos with a team of Singaporeans. It was a CIP/Cross-cultural trip. It was truly an enriching experience. We met Thai students, lived in a farm, taught english, painted a HIV home and met the kids there, visited Laos, met more Thai students, went crazy in BKK. It was a blast of 18 days which I can't summarise into a paragraph. In short, it was an experience I wouldn't exchange for anything.
4) I went for a short vacation to Club Med Bintan during my semester break with Lisbeth. I can't emphasise how much I looooooove clear waters, soft sand, undisrupted views of the sea, and how the sky and water meet at the horizon.
5) I am 3 weeks closer to getting my rank as a Warrant Officer in GB. I am glad to have gone through the program and can't wait to be serving with a new uniform :)
6) School is crazy with projects and assignments. Year 3 is so different. But this is the first time I am studying something and loving it so much. It is quite hard to describe loving something that you're studying. I used to convince myself that I loved business. But no, I don't love business. Finance, accounting, economics, will be the last thing I will ever pledge my future to. The only thing I confidently love about business is the interaction and management among individuals, and that's where HR rolls in. I am sure glad to be studying that :)
7) iDARE Sept 2013 is coming up, everything seems so different now that roles have changed, but yet the it feels familiar at the same time. I look forward for another fulfilling experience. It's my 4th iDARE and will be my last camp in Ngee Ann.
8) Facilitated 30 Hour Famine Camp by World Vision with Lisbeth. It was quite an experience, made new friends, and didn't eat for 30 hours. And of course heard some really touching stories.
9) Am in NPCF's Sub Committee and serving as a bible study leader there. Having a community in school makes a world of difference, am so glad to have met such great friends and people that I can share and confide in over there :')
10) Am going for Sunday services with Joline, who is my P3 buddy from Nanyang Pri. We go way back, sending letters to each other during our Primary school to Secondary school days. And when we found out both of us were in Ngee Ann, we were soo happy for each other. But, we didn't manage to meet ONCE at all during our first 2 years in Ngee Ann because we were beyond busy. I was packed in Year 1, she was packed in Year 2. Now that both of us have let go of things, and settled down for more alone time. Not only have we managed to make up for all the lost time over the past 2 years, but meeting her every week is always refreshing, sharing about our lives and our walk with God. Because we know how much we've changed because of God's faithfulness.
11) I have spent the past few months planning my entire future before me. What am I going to study after graduating, where am I going, how long do I intend to be there, what do I intend to work as, will I ever settle down, what should I accomplish and complete before turning XX age and so forth. I have 5 - 8 years plans before me. It goes all ways. I still intend to keep my options and doors open because God can bring me anywhere. But all I know is that I only have a year left. And it's going to be an entire new phase, a new beginning. And I am going to embrace that mountain of a challenge with open arms.
12) Oh yes did I mention that I am an INTJ. Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking and Judging. Otherwise known as someone with an Introverted Intuition with Extraverted Thinking. I think I have changed so much over the past 2 and a half years. But I am ever grateful that the swing in changes have brought me back to God :)
Okay, just a short but wordy update. Just a heads up, you don't really need to come back and check till 5 months later. Ciao~
