1st post of the New Year and the entry will be about how 2009 was!
(I tried to look for my '09 organiser to aid me in this entry but I can't find it! Oh well.)
To sum 2009 up..I would think that it had been a year of filled with hair-pulling moments. Changed my job. Changed my profile as a full time employee to full time employee + part time student. All this on top of the other existing responsibilities that I already have as Jasmine Soh. Many a times during the later part of this year I really thought I was edging the brink of insanity, but then again He wouldn't give you situations that you can't get through, right?
Changing my job was a very difficult decision I had to make. I really like my previous employer, my previous job scope. But I think it wears you out after a while. I'm very thankful for the short stint I had with an organisation in June - July of last year; through that I realised that there are still simple, pure-hearted people in the working world and it was a very humbling experience. It's been almost 5 months with my current employer now. There are those "argh"-moments at work I admit but it feels like I'm right at home. I feel that I can do a lot more in my current position and I shall strive for that in 2010.
Commenced my undergraduate studies in May last year. Met new people and I'm thankful for all those that I've met along the way. I think I have a decent bunch of classmates, it's a nice mix of people. The first trimester was hard, but the second trimester nearly wrecked not just me, but the relationship I had with my Mum. I didn't have any outlet and I brought my troubles home and the brunt of it my Mum received. I'm so, so sorry Mummy and I can't thank you enough for being there for me. I hope that all the sh*t in trimester 2 was worth it and trimester 3 commencing next Wed (!!!) will be a better one for everyone in my class.
I would like to say sorry to all the friends that I have not spoken to in more than 6 months. Work and school is not an excuse and I'm really sorry. If you do read my blog now and then please know that I do think of you now and then, but then I'm just plain lazy to pick up the phone to drop you an SMS to say hi. :X I'm really bad at maintaining friendships I guess.. )`:
2009 hasn't been the most fantastic year in some ways, and I hope with all my heart that 2010 will be a better one not just for me, but for everyone I know. (: God Bless!
