so the new year has begun. a lot of new things have begun. i am no longer a school girl. raaar. in fact, i now have to teach school girls. how ironic. it's funny how i remember feeling too young to take the As and now suddenly i feel like super old. like prematurely aged. this is what exams and war lit do to you.

in a very brief summary of all that has happened since, december was a fantastic month. finally, i could breathe better and feel more carefree (whenever i think of that word, i think of the brand of you know what. and 'whisper' does that to me too. who thinks of these names for such things!!) anyway to put it simply, the trip to australia was really good. a good time to catch up with the family both the immediate, and the one in australia. plus, the checking up of unis in australia and the daily feasting. i promise, it was really feasting. like a HUGE meal every single night i was in melbourne. although strangely, i did not put on weight. i tell you, it's been ac food that has been fattening me up. boy am i glad i'm not eating that food everyday now (:

i must say, i do miss schooling. yes nutty, i do!! it is definitely not easy being a teacher even if it's only for a couple of months. i would much rather sit down in class and be chatting with my classmates or doing something sneaky under the table like messaging or passing notes or playing bingo. sigh. those were the days. you know what! now i really feel old!! i thought only parents said those were the days. actually the reality of aging really set in when my students starting calling me Ms Lim and my juniors started greeting me. i was so irked by it that i had goosebumps everytime it happened for the first week.

anyway this year, i have decided that with more time on my hands, i will try to be more involved in church activities and step up in my commitment to God. the future is especially uncertain now, with uni ahead and the pending release of the A level results. to be honest, i am dreading the day when they are released. i think i lack faith in myself. so i guess, the best thing i can do is to entrust everything to God and to leave it in His hands.
