A year ago, when i approached my prof to be my thesis supervisor, he told me not to get my hopes up on a first class. I was told that only one student received a first class for the previous year. I have a good CAP, but the department doesnt give out the necessary A- for thesis easily. I should aim for a second upper, and first class would be a bonus. And i thought to myself, why cant i be the one who get first class? I was determined for a first class honors, and that's what im gonna receive on my degree scroll on 12july :)
I applied for the masters program, but i was rejected on grounds of lack of work experience. A prof told me it may be a blessing in disguise, because she has seen many first class students who couldnt "fit in" the masters program, as compared to others who are older and wiser, and who have accumulated useful experiences in life. 1-2 years of job experience in related field would be good, and i was very blessed to be offered a job as a psychologist in a highly reputable institute in Singapore. Nowadays, it is really difficult to get a position as a psychologist without Masters, and you need relevant work experience to increase your value in applying for a place in highly competitive clinical masters programs. This job would be a good stepping stone for me to further pursue my dream in clinical psychology, and I feel really fortunate to have this opportunity.
My relationship hasnt been exactly smooth since the start of last year. Too much drama and uncertainty, and it has changed my views about love. I became emo, bitter and cynical. I was totally weak and dependent last year and i resented losing myself in this relationship. However, the separation that happened this year has resulted in a positive change in me. I see things in a different light, and i've matured and grown. I've become more independent and i'm not going to be taken for granted. Not everything is my fault, and im gonna stand for my rights. Fortunately, things have improved between us, and i hope it stay this way.
I've been dancing almost every weeknights. It's burning a big hole in my pocket, but it's all worth it. It makes me happy, and it helped tide me through the toughest period of my relationship. It makes me realize there's more to life than a stupid guy, and it helps me bond with old/new friends.
I have everything i want in my life right now - love, work, dance, family and friends. It's perfect. And i aint gonna let anything, or anyone, ruin it for me :)
