Out with 2006, in with 2007
Posted at 05:40.53 and filed under Musings5.25am on the 1st day of 2007, and i just got home from Pris’ place in JB.. we had a pretty unique countdown party there. No professional fireworks to see, just us setting off firecrackers..heh.. I got bored and decided to ride home @ 4am…
Firstly congratulate yourself for getting through 2006 alive, seems like the end of the world wasn’t supposed to come last year. I think I had a relatively good year, with mostly ups and some downs.
Academically, i finally got out of NUS but the most impt thing that happened in the final semester was taking and passing Quantum Mechanics II. Killer module, meaning that you have to attempt to kill it 1st with extra mugging and thinking. So that was good.
1st job, as a teacher in a top school. Really wonderful experience @ my alma mater, even though my boss is damn strict with me. The beautiful thing about that is that I’m forced to be on the ball, and that is how i really prefer to work. I realised that I cannot work efficiently when ppl tell me “oh this work, just do @ your own pace..” The control freak in me would go bonkers, and I would want everything in its own time n place, with deadlines so that I can allocate my time properly.. Stage 2 of career begins now by accepting a place @ NIE, and signing 4 yrs of my life away to the government. Very big decision for me, not in terms of the career choice, but more of the fact that i decided to tie myself down. I guess the bonus helped, haha!
I really cannot thank my friends enough, having to listen to me complain about misc stuff and my crappiness. Then again, I listen to you ppl complain n crap as well wat.. Some ppl whom i noe, i think it’s really hard to go beyond a professional relationship with them, and that is something that i’m perfectly comfortable with. I would rather go off on my own sometimes.
Relationship problems, nah dun have any. As in dun have any relationship now, this gentleman here is still single and available. Yessir! I should get my students to intro their elder sisters or someone else to me in exchange for less assignments and homework. Or I should just go SDU, before it closes down that is.
May u be like me and stay positive for the yr 2007
