Strength and patience keep life going on…
2 weeks has passed since selectives had started. It was like
yesterday when we stepped out of MPH after renal assessment. Time really flies.
I think I should say that it “pecut”…=)…like a rocket…haha…
The weekend back home was a joyful one. Filling with energy
and courage to go back and solve the “problem”. Had a long long talk with my
pa..especially the time spent in the car when dad drove me to collect the
tourism things, and the time spent when I cycled beside my pa when he
jogged…Although things didn’t turn out the best it could be, but it certainly
turn out better than what I hoped for…Thanks pa for sharing ur thoughts with
me, for confiding in me while giving me advice for the future…As for ma, I’ll
always be by ur side to listen to ur “grumbles”…That’s all I can do now…And
trust me, I’m a good listener. Hope that I could relieve ur burden by listening…
Came back to Uni after replenishing my energy from home…Busy
schedule awaiting for me. Scared and apprehensive at first with the workload
and energy-needy activities. The first few days of selectives weren’t too happy
as there were many things left undecided. But, things turn out well when we
keep hanging on till the end. Ahhh….=)…at last, on Friday, everything was
settled…=)
Thanks Maggie for designing the bookmarks and altering the
colours and designs according to our needs.
Thanks Mus for drawing the Icons.
Thanks Chow for suggesting the meeting to finalize the
decision to Perhentian Island.(it made my work
much much easier—can’t wait for the perhentian trip)
Then, Saturday was Mapcu swimming comp. Having all the
butterflies in my stomach before the comp, I certainly wasn’t in the best mood
to swim. I had the feeling of “putting worms into own anus”—according to Jackie
is “finding ur own trouble”…cos I decided to join 2 individual events and 1 relay (due to
unknown reasons—maybe just to try)…It was a bit taxing as I had not swim that
much of competitive events before. A bit regretted when I reached INTI..Feel
nauseated, I kept asking to go home. Even Paul and Mus who went there as
supporters find it funny tho…hee… New lessons learnt!!! “Things always turn out
to be better than expected when we always prepare for the WORST”..It proved to
be absolutely correct…I turn out to win 2 bronze medals. I won my first ever
individual swimming medal. 100m breaststroke…I am a kampung swimmer…A lousy
diver as mus always laughed at me for having big splashes when I “plunged” into
the water…Altho I won cos there were only 5 competitors in that event, but I’m
already contented…Before the competition, all I had in mind was—first, jumped
into the water and be thankful that my goggles are still on. Second, being able
to finish the 100m and not cramping halfway through the swim. And lastly,
getting out from the pool…It was a super-duper bonus when I even get a medal
from it…ok…I’m just happy that I’m lucky…=)…Furthermore, our IMU swimming team
even got 3rd place overall….What a day!!!=)
I called my dad when I finished my first event to “demand”
for encouragement…haha…I got to talk to my mum too…I felt so happy when my dad
passed his phone to my mum…=)…
That night’s dinner was curry fish
head…Super-delicious…..Ahhh………
What a day!!!!
The second week of selectives went on full of activities
too…with cheerleading practice, basketball training, volleyball and etc.
etc….Not to forget the kite-flying time, meeting up with my dad for just
tiny-30-minutes…getting loads of mangosteen and rambutans…and falling sick on
Wednesday…slept for 13 hours on that day, cough and flu came back to find me
again…was depressed for one day…and then sprang back to happy-chia huan on
Friday…
Sorry Mus, for getting angry on Wednesday cos I really
wasn’t in the mood to play with u and listening to ur stupid jokes…Sometimes, u really deserve
some scoldings although u were only joking.
One more week to the completion of Malaysian Studies
Project…=)
Two more weeks to Perhentian Island Trip…=)
Two weeks and three more days to going back home…=)
Three more weeks to starting of Sememster 5…=/
Six more months to leaving IMU…=(
P/S : - Always prepare for the worst, and hope for the
best!!!
- Friends are of utmost
importance when we’re away from home…
