CNY is coming again! And for a Singaporean, I'm glad to be at home. At home meaning to be in Singapore. As you guys know, Singapore has a lot of foreigners. But during this period of time, its time to go back and celebrate with their loved ones.

Which makes me ponder, how is homesickness like?

Im not exactly patriotic or am i someone who truly treasures kinship. But through my boyfriend, (who is a Indonesian) i learned about loving and honoring parents.

I saw how faraway he felt from his aging parents, the missing pieces of growing up without parents by his side, the lack of control from his family, the moments of joy and sadness to whom his family weren't there, the kind of homesickness i'll never have in my entire life. I began treasuring and spending time with mine.

Today, i spent quality time with my mum. Woke up slightly earlier to have breakfast and a short time of shopping. I added a little joy to her life. It may not be significantly huge, but it does make a difference. I want to continue to do so and treasure her before its too late.

People in Singapore complain that time is too short to spend on people, career comes first, money etc etc. But I believe that making time is a choice. Make the right choice.

Once lost, no turning back.

Wasn't sure to be an accountant, i started on this accounting course ACCA for higher qualification. It is really tough, tricky and mind blowing. I learned a lot and made some friends. The learning process was rather smooth and steady. The exams questions aren't. Although it comprises only of MCQ, each of the choices were correct, and you need to choose the best out of them. Which means, you need to do a lot of memorizing!

Each modules has 18 lectures, i took 2, which equates to 36 lectures worth of memorizing! With the work load and career management, I find it difficult to juggle both equally important aspects of my life.

Worse still, I've heard too many horrifying testimonies of people who took the qualification. 40% of the cohort pass. Its quite a depressing news ain't it?

Sigh, nevertheless, i shall work hard with my remaining time left and do the best out of it. Afterall, its just the beginning of the 4 yrs of hell I've signed up.

Technology is advancing very fast, aren't they? Will we have robots on the road next time?

Anw, i can't wait for next week! Im on leave! Gonna pack my week with stuff to do!

CATCHING UP with people, before I'm on a long term 'weekend free' dude.

JIA YOU elise!!

Anw, I was just thinking about something earlier. Fact is, I just had a fight with my sister. Not the first time, but there's sth different abt it.

I knew there's sth wrong with her the moment i reached home. Couldn't figure anything out. So i decided to ask her whether she wants some food, i cook for her. No reply. Fine, then she started throwing tantrums, demanding things and all. And, I got pissed. And i shouted and you know what happens.

At the end of it all, i teared, not just because i was angry but i was upset about not being christlike in this situation. It's not about what my sister did. I should have responded, not react. For once, i felt vulnerable.

I've always prayed for patience, but i never pass the test.

God, give me a big heart instead.
