About time for Updates!

Woah, it's been a long while since i last posted. One of my resolutions for 2010 was to write in blog regularly to express my opinions, write stories, songs and updates so that I can look back to remember and reflect on what the year has been like. =)

So first, updates!

Finally graduated in Dec with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Psychology with 2nd class honours. Yay, it's finally done with! Am happy bout tt, but kinda disappointed tt i didn't get first class instead. Some modules pulled my overall grades down so ended up with 2nd, oh well, better than 3rd or even nothing at all. Love my cert and it's been added to my personal folder kept together with other certs, awards, accomplishments, cards, letters from since i was 5, pix etc. I love this bunch of things collected in this folder cos it's a lifetime of keepsakes and little reminders along the way. Will dedicate a blog post specially for this folder soon!! (Transmit reminder to brain)

So, in Feb 2010, I got a job (thanks to mama for introducing). I joined Family Life Society as a Programme Executive. Just a brief description of FLS. Basically it's a counselling and education centre with focus on the family. Am in the Education Dept so what we do is coordinate and facilitate workshops for students, parents and staff in schools under the SFE programme as well as workshops for parishes too. I chose to work here since I wanna undertake Masters in Counselling youth and kids (lest anything changes in 1 year). So thought further exposure to kids (in addition to teaching previously) would be useful and beneficial for my understanding. I enjoy work thus far and find it enriching and fulfilling. It is satisfying after organising a programme which you know/witness participants benefiting from it. =) Plan to dedicate a year or so in this line before studying again.

Besides work wise, I've gotten my bike license and am a proud owner of a Matt Black Vespa. =)) Unfortunately though after a year, am gonna scrap it. Yes i know, whhhhhatttt right! Several reasons to this. 1) COE is expiring in Sept and to renew it costs close to $1k. Money is one thing and another is that i doubt the bike could last another 10 years. It works perfect now but u really never know how the condition would be like after few more years 2) I wanna try something new. I wanna ride a KR or SP (yes yes i know a lil mattish.. but i love sports bikes. Oh maybe i can takeover baby's Aprillia) 3) I need to save money. Save on wedding (future), education, car so don't think it's worth it to spend on a bike. 4) I don't really ride the bike anyway. Due to traffic conditions ard the workplace being too heavy, mostly ride on weekends or ard the East areas. So there you go.. solid reasons why i've decided to put the bike to scrap (or maybe excuses to convince myself so that i won't be too sad to let go of the bike). heh.

Random updates: i LOVE movies and tv shows!!! Most recently watched quite a few films including Clash of the Titans, Dear John, Hachiko, Shutter Island, Law Abiding Citizen, Shrek 3, Brothers and much much more. Tv shows include Gossip Girl, How i met your mother, 90210, 10 Things I hate about you, Glee, Heroes, Grey's Anatomy, Weeds etc etc. Am so happy to be kept updated with the most recent released episodes (special thanks to my brothers a.k.a baby boys). I will need to write reviews/commentaries on each of the shows too. Speaking of which I should really continue writing stories and songs, yes I've been doing it in awhile. (See previous posts)

Okay, enough updates for now! Will definitely be back. See u soon territory.
