true blue blogger i am not

hehe...i think it's confirmed...i'm NOT a true blogger after all....i'm too lazy to write all the things that happen to me on a daily basis...even tho sometimes there are some things that i might find bloggable, but not like really significantly...i get ppl asking me like umpteen times "When are u going to update ur blog, woman??!!" when i don't write anything for some time...hehehe

it's only going to be August, and i'm already so looking forward to the end of the year :P And for my 1st semester in UM to be over...haha...and it's only the 3rd week. Not that i'm not enjoying the classes...i AM, but i'm just cringe at the thought of having to do the assignments...and i STILL have no idea what i want to do for my assignments...we are supposed to come up with a proposal on what area we'd like to cover etc, and my mind is still BLANK....help!!!

i so want time to pass quickly so i can go over to Spore in November and home in December...anyone has a time machine?

I'm back...hopefully with more to come...

It's been quite some time since i last updated my blog - and i have to apologize for being away for so long. A lot has been happening lately (mostly good) and i've been very busy, plus was not sure (am stil not sure if i know) wat to write about but i didn't want to leave everyone wondering wat happened to me...i'm fine, and i'm still alive and kickin'...hehe

I guess the biggest announcement is that i've just starting seeing someone and i've been quite occupied as u can imagine...with lots of phone calls since he's away and all...and i was on leave for the last couple of days because he came down from spore to spend some time with me. Neways, this is a new experience for me too, and i'm still adjusting to the idea of being with someone after being single for the past 2 years or so. i won't go into details, but if you are curious, come talk to me lar...hehe

Classes have just started in UM as well last week, and i'm also trying to settle in there - getting used to having to do assignments, article reviews, tutorials and the whole lot. Really back to school now :P I'm taking 3 papers this semester (General Linguistics, Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition) and i plan to finish my masters in 2 years if everything goes well. The good thing is, i like my classes and my lecturers - bad thing is, i don't know where/how to get started on my assignments and i know i need to seriously come up with something soon or else i'll truly regret it when the deadlines come nearer and nearer!

On the briefing day, i had a pleasant surprise :) i met my colleague (from another dept) there and it so happens that we're taking the same course, and we can go to class together...we're both thankful to know someone, and glad for the company. i really thank god for his providence, i was worried bout how i was going to go for classes from kdu, but he provided for me even more than i imagined! Leena and i hit it off pretty well too, and i thank god for his goodness!

Back to relationships, I sure did pick a "very good" time to start a relationship - and all of a sudden, there's so much to juggle - relationship, work, school, church, family and friends...and i'm only just beginning to realize how much i'm going to need God in my life...not that i didn't need Him before, but i do foresee that things will be quite tough for the next few months and i'll be quite stretched. i know there have been many others who have walked thru this path before, and have survived and come out the experience stronger and more enriched in many ways, but when you actually have to go through it, it's not easy at all...

With things going on inside of you and so many things needing your attention outside of that, sometimes it's not easy to feel like life is just as "normal", but anyhow, i know He is always here for me, and that is my comfort, to know that i'm not doing all this alone. Thank god for good friends too (like some of u who read my blog) who are really a big help and encouragement :) I guess that's it for now...
