goodbye old, hello new
i dunno whether to cry or laugh...
so many wonderful things has happened to me in these few months.weeks.days.
but all that comes to mind now is....
its my final day in NUS
im just so sad. haiks. no more meeting up with my beloved darling science-ies in sci canteen and gossiping over all sorts of weird ppl that we gave weird nicknames to..
pinkpanther/mummy'sboy/sunshineboy/cake/bodysuit/etc etc..
no more studying and mugging with my darlings niran/harshie/dal/sa/miru/jo/justina/jin/tammy/leo/mian/ruo...
no more meeting for lunch and then imulsively going shopping...
no more nus bazaars! no more BUS PASS!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHH
haiks. its such a poignant time of my life..
i always wanted to graduate with a degree from NUS. now im just wondering, why can't it last a bit longer...its not that i LOVEEEE nus or anything..i mean i've had some shitty times there cuz of shitty modules and shitty exams/papers/tests/projects.
but im just gonna really miss being a student. so many things that i can never do again...
no more cheap student lunches..no more BUS PASS (this affects me ALOT)..no more going off at 11am..no more 3 month holidays..no more lazing around at home on weekdays doing nothing..arghhhh...
but i do have good news to share...
firstly...i got a job
wheeeeee...im gonna be a teacher..hahaha..i know some of you'll are having raised eyebrows now..kala=teacher? poor students.
but well no matter how much i whine about my tuition kids i do really love teaching..esp e sense of satisfaction u get when they do well and go on to bigger things..so ya..seemed like e right thing to do..
so basically i'll be teaching english and biology (i think e weirdest combination) to secondary school kids.
basically im not gonna have a life cuz its 2 freaking heavy subjects.
and yes some of u might be saying, u still have NIE to be a student for 1 year whattt...but its not e same. i wun be considered a student. i;ll be a working trainee..so still no bus pass!!!!!!!!! and from what my teacher friends tell me, schedule in NIE is equivalent to being a hermit.
so yes, im employed. and hopefully i will have a fulfilled job which brings me places and fills my heart and not just my pocket. i dun just want a job. i want a career i can enjoy. and hopefully, this is it. obviously im not gonna teach my whole life. i wanna go up, become HOD, MOE official etc etc. hopefully lecture in poly in the end. :)
the most happy news is that...
i got my license!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
woooooohooooooooooo like finally la. i can't even remember how many times i took e test. maybe 4? maybe 5? whatever at leasst finally i DUN NEED A 'L' PLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IM SOOO relieved. more relieved than happy. im just SO GLAD i dun have to go for any more driving lessons, renew any more PDL, find for good instructors, take more tests. I CAN SAVE SO MUCH MONEY NOW!!!!!!!!!!
OF COURSE, im driving at a maximum speed of 60 km/h cuz of my dad. hahaha. and 20km/h on tiny roads. but i dun blame him. his craziest daughter who does whacko things finally got her license without telling anyone (shd have heard alll e shocked reactions : YOU WERE TAKING LESSONS???/WHAT U MEAN U ACTUALLY TOOK A TEST??) got her hands on his new beautiful car. if i were him, 10km/h is e maxiumum i'd let myself go!
have driven 4 times so far since i got e coveted license 3 days ago. not too bad. enjoying it more than lessons cuz i can actually TALK to the person beside me who tells me more than "turn left, right. nono go straight. are u trying to kill me? SLOW SLOW CLUTCH IN!!!"
and i can actually sing aloud to radio songs woohooooo..
and its an auto car so very diff for me...i keep finding e clutch when i need to break and its damn weird not to touch e gear la. hahahha..
but besides that enjoying driving. maybe in abother 6 months times, my dad will trust me with e car alone. haahhahaha
speaking of which, exams are in less thhan 2 weeks time and im no where near where i should be. haiks.
i better go study. getting too distracted with my holiday plans!!!!! woohoooo
going redang and indeyar!!! shall write more later kies...gtg study..muacks..
