Eventful Day

10th September is an eventful day. Bonk has his Passing Out Parade which marked the end of his days at P. Tekong...his BMT was finally over! Then in the evening, Mom departed for her mission trip and the whole family sent her and the group off. Reminded me of the days I went for mine earlier on this year :)

Being at the airport made me feel like going on a holiday again! But that would have to wait...with studies and the Christmas musical now taking the bulk of my time...I wonder when I can take the time to plan a holiday...not forgetting the $$$...now that I'm going part-time, and need to save for the next sem's school fees...don't know if we can afford a trip...unless God blesses :)

Time really flies...I'm in my third week of school and the assignments have started to roll in...next week itself I'll be having 2 presentations! Considering if I still wanna be so gungho and take 3 modules next sem...but maybe it wouldn't be so bad next sem since I'll be working part-time.

I've also started to post ads for recruiting piano students. Decided that this is what I want to try to do...after a short chat with my boss, I was once again re-aligned with my intention of converting to part-time from the beginning, that I wanted to try to do something in relation to my course. Guess I have been so busy lately that I lost focus on my bearings. Thank God for the timely comment by my boss!

Nonetheless, although I do feel tired physically, but I am happy with the way things are now and I thank God for this opportunity to pursue an education in my interest :)

Tiredness...

starting to feel the toll of taking 3 night lessons a week...been feeling tired since I can't remember when! Been in a zombie like state for the past 3 weeks....everything seems to be moving so quickly! But I guess it's all worth it cos I'm learning so much in the area of Creative Arts...lessons have been interesting and the classmates are a crazy and fun bunch of folks to be with!

Just had our little performance during the APTA GA yesterday evening, and received good reviews! Did our little sketch to the script "Ten Little Christians" and a Diamond Ensemble. Didn't manage to get hold of the pics and video yet. Hope they give us a copy!

I've had a mini breakthrough in terms of driving...last saturday, for the first time after so long, I finally managed to muster the courage to drive by myself...along a familiar route to church. Hopefully soon I can manage driving on my own to TCA for my lessons...but not sure if I can cope with driving when I feel sleepy most of the time after my lessons....

God give me strength!! 10 more weeks to go!

I have a MacBook :)

I own a MacBook!

Went to the COMEX fair on saturday as I was contemplating buying a notebook for my studies...I as considering a MacBook as I've never owned one or tried one before....but have heard good reviews about it such as "once you own a Mac, you'll always want a Mac".

So decided to check out the prices...and found out that it actually isn't that much more expensive than a Windows laptop with comparable specs. More incentive to buy a MacBook :) Hubby then advised that we hold on till the last hour of the fair where there will be crazy offers and discounts..

So we did...so we went on sunday evening again, and got a free upgrade to 4Gb ram where it would have cost us $88 on saturday. Hubby's friend also bought a MacBook and we shared the used of the Microsoft Office software for Mac....that saved us another $100.

That's how I purchased my first ever laptop, and it's a Mac, and it came with free crystal case, slip cover, keyboard cover and screen protector film....I'm MacHappy!
