Good day, i guess. No seat on the bus since class started at 9 today. But a simple gesture from a stranger really made my day. A couple of days back, a lady saw me walking back home and gave me a smile - and i returned one of course - and it cheered me up so much. I think i'm pretty daring D: Smiling at people i don't know. Well, it really depends on how the person looks like. I think i've been trained to 'identify' the better bunch of people since young. My parents keep reminding me to 'look left, right, back & front' and not to 'turn up the volume of the music that you're listening to' when i'm walking alone. But still, i smile at people mostly because they might be friends/old neighbours with my family staying nearby (relatives included). But the point is, even someone i don't know can make me happy with just a smile. SO SMILE IF YOU SEE ME! :D

Today was quite good. Despite having to wake up so early in the morning, walking to the bus stop with my mum brings joy to me. We chat on our way there and it's almost like spending quality time together - we come home everyday wearing a tired face and we don't really feel like talking unless we have to vent our anger or share really important news. So anyhow, lecture in the morning was okay i guess? Felt quite sleepy but with the company that i had, i was entertained by very random things XD After an hour break, went for HRM tutorial - didn't lose my way in the Engine block this time - and our tutor helped us with the ice-break thing since we still didn't know each other. It was quite cool. He had some questions for us to fill and it made the class work together instantly. There were questions like,"Who's the tallest in class?" OR "Who is the hairiest person in class?" HAHAHAH. It helped a lot though, because after class, about 1/2 the class went for lunch together. We went to ITAS and shared one table. 10 people at one table. SO SQUEEZY DDD: Nonethless, we got to know each other better throughout lunch (: Went back to Engine for our Entrepreneurship tutorial. I stayed in the library for 2 hours. Occupied myself with a book my aunt gave me the other day, an english translation of the Qur'an. Loaded the mp3 of all 114 surahs and reading the translations of 2 of the lines made me tear a bit. It truly felt as if He was telling me that He knows what we will go through and what we are going through now. In addition, i will never fail to remember this line that can be summarised into a way that says God will never give you a burden that is too heavy for you.

A lot of good things have happened to me in a short span of time. When i boarded the bus, i started to reflect on those times and compared them to 2007. Really a huge change. And one of the reasons why i felt so down and angsty at that point of time was because i didn't look at things positively. At the same time, i didn't read His words and learn to counter my problems with those words. Not to mention how i messaged my mum that i felt extremely blessed - of which she replied,"God loves people who are patient" - and also thank her for praying for me everyday.

I have a speech to do by tomorrow and i haven't even started D: Blame it all on the i-am-still-in-the-holiday-mood thing :/ Should have done it over the weekend. Time to complete the things i write on my organiser or else they'll all be useless to write about anyway -____-

BUT I LOVE THE POST-ITS I BOUGHT FROM POP ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO! :DDDDDD

PS: it's still you!
