A Year!!
I can't believe it had been a year since I'd written anything in this blog. Writing about my life used to be an enjoyable thing that I must do since I was 18. But I guess when you grow older, other priorities start to take over, until you don't even realise what you like doing anymore.
Anyway, major updates in my life:
(1) Finally graduated from NTU. People keep telling me that I'd been always studying and my studies never seem to end. So yes, now I can announce to all people that it had finally ended, sadly. I missed NTU, I missed school by the way. Although I may not be socially active, but I've definitely made a few good friends. Good friends that would stay with you for life I think. I've learnt things that I always wanted to learn. I've experience university life, exchange life. I do not at once regret going into NTU although I am overage there. If I really need to mention one bad memory about NTU, it would be not working hard enough. I mean really hard. And I pay for this, by missing first class honors by a mere 0.02. Nonetheless, I was glad that I am able to complete a minor in Translation.
(2) Finally had my first grad trip. I did not have one when I graduated from NYP. So, I made it up by going to 2 countries with 2 of my best friends in university. Japan and Taiwan. Love the countries, enjoyed the trip and accompaniment. Would definitely want to visit there again, and again, and again!
(3) Managed to secure a job position within 6 months of graduating. It may be long as compared to others, who managed to secure jobs even before graduation. However, I am satisfied with my current job now, one that I really like and look forward to. Hopefully, I will make this a sustaining career. People questioned me when they realised that I am back to healthcare industry again. I do not understand why. Why would you want to question your friend's decision? I had always loved healthcare industry. Leaving nursing does not mean that I hate the industry. It's just too tiring for me. Or maybe I am just too weak to sustain through it. Choosing communication studies is to fulfill the dream I always had, to experience the media, or rather music industry. It does not mean I need to work in the same industry. I don't understand this cliche thinking that you must practice what you study. Why can't we just study something we like? And not study because you want to work in the industry? Is it wrong to just like studying? It may be a waste of money to others, but, I am the one paying for it. Thus, please stop questioning my decision.
Anyway, I am happy in my job now. It is a mixture between healthcare as well as communications. I think this is a good position to be in thus far.
3 months into working. Finally applied for my first leave in this new job. It was exciting. Haha. Going to visit Taiwan again, with my mum this time as she complained she had not gone overseas for some time. It is quite a good timing to go overseas I supposed, January, especially when my sister is away in Shenzhen for work until CNY. I wanted to plan for another trip in March, but could not find anyone to go with me at the moment. Sighs. The rare moment I felt a bit lonely. Nevertheless, I would consider going on a solo trip if I really cannot find anyone ultimately.
This post pretty sums up everything I'd experienced in year 2015. Hopefully, it would not be another year before I update again.
