It's been a pretty good week on the whole. I have found my purpose in life again after recently being inspired. Plans can always be changed and I shouldn't be so set on just achieving something so specific coz it may not be what's best for me and may not even be what I really really really want deep down. Even though what I'm doing now may not seem relevant to what I want to do in the future career-wise, now..I don't think that matters much coz I think I'm definitely learning a lot of skills that I would need later on in life, dealing with different sorts of people..even though I didn't appreciate it at all for the past few weeks. Now it's like a light has been turned on somewhere and I'm no longer in despair. I shall just do what I can and make the best out of the ton of things I'm doing this summer and of coz remember it all.
This week I've been reading Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist again and as always, I'm learning a lot with every chapter finished. 'When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it' I think this is so true. My interpretation---If you want something badly enough, you will get it in the end because you will find all ways to achieve it and your desire to achieve it rubs off on others too and unknowingly or knowingly, these people will help you in various stages to get what you want. Next week I'm gonna re-read The Warrior of light and head down to borders to get more books. I've just added 3 more books to my booklist..hopefully borders or kino stocks them otherwise I'll have to order from Amazon.
Yesterday was a pretty good day. Had lunch with an old pal and then headed to clarke quay for singsoc mtg which we ended up having at yakun, squashed up in one corner and it lasted for ages. lol. Then after that, we headed to guan's place for sarah's farewell party. We had our own prata man and satay woman..which I think is the trend for most house parties now coz next sat I have another prata house party to go for..yummm. It was really fun talking to guan's very interesting parents and it was nice meeting up with so many lse singaporeans all at once..even though I wasn't that close to most of them in london.
And today I slept for like the whole morning and got up just in time to get out for lunch at shin with the family and then I drove my dad to the optician and nearly had an accident AGAIN. I am really getting freaked out by driving. This brings the total of near accidents to 4...and of coz more yelling from whoever's sitting in my car. So from now on, I shall only drive myself. No lifts for anyone! Sorry guys. But safety first ya?
I'm now looking forward to next week..which is pretty unusual by my standards. But for once in my life, I love nat day! coz i don't have to work on wed, thurs and fri. wahahahahaha. And I have gotten off successfully from teaching music!! yes! no more music lessons on retarded ndp songs and even more retarded dances. No more listening to kit chan or sunyanzi's ndp songs which I am SO SICK of now. And I got off for the ndp school celebrations itself on wed so that means I no longer have to make a fool of myself on the field. Really glad about this. I guess life can't get any better than this...and then I'm quitting my other job on thurs! yay to that too! can't wait.
And soon..london awaits.. I know how sometimes things I'm so sure of can just disintegrate the next minute but I've always been the one to take chances. It's not living if you don't feel alive. So anyway, I'm bearing in mind the words of a gd friend and lets just see where the road of life takes me and all of us..career-wise, love and everything else...There aren't any wrong decisions or wrong steps since every step we take will bring us closer to where we want to be even if it happens to be a longer route, a detour..the important thing is..we will still get there in the end.
