and the glory forever is yours;

i was just thinking about the past..6weeks.
and i just feel very blessed.

things hasn't been that easy, and there's still alot to learn.
but im thankful for really helpful and friendly colleagues, whom i can ask when in doubt, who would point out my mistakes to me kindly, whom we can just eat together as a random group during lunch together.

and for colleagues who trust in me.
i cant explain how important that is, but i think at the very least it gives me courage and motivation and happiness. a place where every man is an island, where people view you as inept, snub u for making mistakes, exploit you, is not a place to be in and not possible to be happy in.

for now, im in a dilemma. nope not abt where to go; im perfectly happy where i am.
but for now i think, when the time comes and the opportunities come, i would know what i want.

AND I JUST WANT TO RAVE ABOUT MY BROTHERS DUPLEX PRINTER :DDDD
no more staying back to use frustratingly lousy printers at work with a pathetic supply of paper!
and 5 yrs warranty!
:D

back from korea(:

all in all it was a great experience! had alot of fun, and traveling in 2s is not a bad idea, you have company and at the same time not having to consider too many opinions and things to do.

i really did try almost everything i wanted! which is a relief(: the trip started out so bad, with the impending korean war that almost resulted in trip cancellation, followed by stupid china eastern for the flight screwup. in the end i switched to korean air (blessing in disguise, if not i'll be in the midst of avian flu in pudong airport, shanghai). seriously im going to boycott china eastern for the rest of my life, they can't even handle such situations well. hopefully i can claim insurance.

my main itinery goes like this: seoul - eiwa women's uni - insadong - namsan seoul tower -> jeju - seogwipo - cheonjiyeon - seongsan - yong duam -> jeolla - gwangju - damyang - jeonju - gunsan - buam -> seoul - yongsan - dongdaemun - myeongdong -> gangwon - gang neung - jeongdongjin - samcheok -> chuncheon - pyeongchang - inje -> seoul - nami island - more shopping -> singapore

some pictures :D




























Altogether, it was a really good trip! the last few days was supposed to be shopping, so not much photos haha. especially when the decision was made to come back early, we just chionged spending our wons on shopping and good food and enjoyed ourselves with what remaining time we had.

AND THEN WE'RE BACK!!!!

honestly i was quite glad to be back early, could do abit of things that i like before starting work(:

in any case, rmb what i wrote a few posts earlier about wanting to do stuff after prereg! actually i've managed to do a few things(:
i want to just lie on the beach and stare at the blue sky and fall asleep. and pretend im in heaven. not yet but i've been to adventure cove!
i want to sit in a cafe, enjoy my cup of coffee with no hurry to zoom off somewhere and read my book. done today! at starbucks compasspoint cos i was too lazy but at least i managed to drag myself out of the house! inertia!
i want to dance! done! every wednesday and randomly at home when there's no one around! 
i want to nua a whole day at home playing my piano, just lying around, watching my shows and entertaining myself. nua-ed a whole day ytd just watching videos and pack up and more videos today haha. that seems to be the only thing i cannot pull away from although i want to do other stuff as well.
i want to cook something, make something, draw something. not in sg but i did make and paint stuff on this korea trip! hanji art and some wooden painting (:
 i want to hang out with my dear friends (when i finally have enough alone time) and do some crazy shit. or alternatively baring our hearts out to each other. managed to do so pretty frequently since prereg ended! very thankful! and still meeting friends now that im back! hope to be able to continue doing so!
 i want to have some quiet time, with God. unfortunately i put this last again, just to be really honest with myself. i hope to make it a natural priority in me some time soon. i did commit myself to mon night classes at church, went for 1 session before i flew off already. hoping to continue doing so!

been hearing things about work and it seems that work is finally coming! think i'll be really busy soon =( at the same time it's exciting i guess!hope i'll be able to cope with everything i'm becoming so slack!
