Year 2010: From an average to student to the owner of a new house...

Wow, looking at my last blog, it was already like 9 months ago...I have no idea how things moved so fast in the next 9 months....Even me..myself can't imagine things can move that fast...

Looking back on the year of 2010, I was having a slow start as I was affected by my sub-par examination result as well as my eczema problems...At that time, I thought that it would be a bad year for me and things got worse when I was about to extend my length of my studies for another 1 year which really pushed me to the very low point of my life.

But things get a little bit better when I was given a chance to finish off my studies without extend my studies to a year with a little bit of gamble that I would have to take extra subjects. I was struggling for the entire semester as I would have to repeat the subject I failed two years ago as well as taking additional subject which I hate the most...With efficient effort and praying for a smooth sailing in my exam, my prayers was answered as I passed all the subjects.

I was given green lit that I could do cross institutional studies which I will be working full time and study for the one last subject at the same time. At that moment, I questioned my ability which I am not sure if I could really go through with it. If i fail it, I might need to fly back and study. I never thought too much but enrolled in it. I flew back to Malaysia and I work and study at the same time.

I will take that as my first full time job and I was given the post as the executive supervisor. For the first two weeks, I had nothing much to do and I was wondering how am I going to past through the time....few weeks later, I was given projects that I have to handle by myself and I was dumbfounded when I was given a list of about 40 projects that I have to handle. Luckily I have my colleague that helped me and gave me some useful knowledge to tackle the problem. At night, I would hide myself in the room and study. For the past few months, I have no idea what the hell I was studying. I was clear about the concept, but I could not really the assignments and tutorial questions. I was under enormous pressure when my parents decided to book the flight ticket back to Hobart for my graduation even though I haven't sit for the exam. I have no choice but to excel in my exam and thank God that I pass the exam and I manage to graduate.

I was in sigh of relief as if I can feel that I have put down a huge burden and I can fully concentrate in my work. Then I had a 10 days break which I managed to get back to the beautiful Hobart as well as Melbourne. I managed to catch up with my friends and had a lot of fun. Before the year ends, I was given an opportunity to buy a property. I made up my mind to buy it in 4 days. I know it is a bit exaggerate on the process on buying it but yea, I manage to run through a deal and signed the property contract on the last day of 2010.

It was an amazing year for me and I am really glad that things has been going through very will for me. I appreciate what God has given me and given me the ability and strength to make some critical decision which might chance or affect my little part of life. I really hope to have a nice year for this year and wishing everyone especially the readers all the best as well as best of luck.
