Reader's Digest Dec 2010 ^^

I've not been writing for so long that i've lost the flow in writing. But i'm going to keep practicing and i will get back the momentum! ^^
Anyway, I'M BACK!!!
My 1 year (actually 10 months) journey in Korea was wonderful! I did the things that i wanted. I've gained lots of new experience. I've learned a thing or two about myself. But i also feel like i've wasted some time there! I could have discovered more if i weren't getting lazier as time passed.
If "fear" and "lazy" do not exist in this world, everyone would be successful. ahaha
ooo..i think i found myself a new goal!
-To be fearless
-To be active at all times. Active in all the things i do. Active in studying. Active in having fun. Even being active in shopping.
^^
Because i do get lazy when it comes to shopping.

When i think back to the moment i saw my name in the "result email", I felt very uncomfortable.

I cried on the spot because I was happy that I'm finally getting the opportunity to study or to be in Korea for a year. I've always wanted to go overseas to study. To know how it feels like to be in a different environment. And even though i'm not there to study for my degree, i still felt like this dream came true.

I cried on the spot because I was sad that Grace wasn't going with me. In reality, I was afraid of going alone. I knew that i had to be independent and get out of my comfort zone. I didn't want to face those changes althoug I knew that we should embrace changes because that's what makes us grow. I didn't want to leave my friends and study my degree without them when i'm back. I got too comfortable in my foundation year that i hoped everything will stay the same for my degree. But the encouragement from my parents pushed me and I adapted really fast when i went to Korea. ahaha. My mindset changed as well. It was nice to make new friends because there's so many interesting people out there to meet. I know getting the right kind of friends may take awhile but I'm sure I'll be able to make good friends in my degree course. ^^

Ahaha.. I just realized that i used the word "dream". Such a simple thing can also be considered as a dream but i always have this perception that a dream should be something big. XD When someone asks me what is my dream, i do not know how to answer them. Without realizing, I also have all these small dreams that i want to achieve. =) Alrigt, let's continue.

Now, to the topic i want to share. =)

ARE YOU A CHEAPSKATE OR A THRIFTY PERSON?

ahaha..I think i'm a bit of a both. XD

I also like this sentence:

"we work for the future without ever being able to live for the day"- by Karl Rabeder, an Austrian Millionaire who unloaded all his worldly possessions to help others.

Well, that's all for now. Its time for me to start and finish my report..XD..
