Here's Some Gratitude

Phew, and finally my exams ended for this semester! :D

Good to see I am still alive surviving the first semester. It has been one of the more fun semesters and best time of my life. 

I love my life now. 

It's not like everyday is sunshine and rainbows but I love all the things I have here, all the problems, and all the lessons I had. 

I feel like I've learn a lot of stuffs this semester and they're all really really valuable. I've learnt things in classes, and outside classes. This semester, I learnt about designing so much more than I do. And I think I really am not very good at it. 

But it's okay. I'm still going to continue and see how things go. :D It's exciting to see that for the first time of my life, I have formal lessons on designing. And that I can proudly tell people that I am a design student. And reality is so different from what I imagine. Studying designing is much more stressed than I thought to be. Chasing deadlines, generation of ideas, drawing, not sleeping, sacrificing weekend leisure, it's all part of my life now. I've come to accept that stress will always, always be with me. I've also come to accept that I cannot expect myself not to be stressful now that I am choosing this route. And hence, I am so going to learn how to manage my stress even better next semester (because it's not really that good this semester). 

I've come to accept the fact that there are people out there who are so much better and smarter than me. And they are people who are worth learning from. I've learnt to be thirsty of knowledge. I've learnt that there's no limit in knowledge, there's no limit in learning. It's amazing to see all the things I've learnt can be applied in real life and that I can help people in the future. :) 

And I've got a bunch of cool friends here who are really really good. I've learnt so much from everyone. Every friend I meet in my life have somehow helped me shaped the person I am today. I now have friends from different personalities and variety and each an everyone of them are helps my life in a more balanced way. Everyday I am so entertained... because they are just so darn funny

Sigh... sometimes, being away from family and friends in home town really makes me miss the part of me in the past. But then a friend of mine said that we can't relive the past and experiences. It's still amazing to see that somehow, my heart still belongs to the small little town I grew up in with the family that would never change and the friends whom I've built my years and years of friendships with. 

And here's a toast to better and stronger days ahead of me *clinking imaginary glasses (must be with wine ah) with you*
