Free Semester

First sem has started. And guess how many classes a week do I have? 2? 3? I ONLY have 1 class a FORTNIGHT!!! >.<>

So, in 2 weeks, I have 13 days free. What am I going to do then? Of course, no doubt, my research is on the list. GOt to start doing some literature reading to expand my knowledge on the field that I'll be researching on.

Not forgetting, I'm working now..as a tuition teacher of 3-9 years old kids. I work only 3 nights for 3 hours..and on Sat morning till evening. Yet, the pay working is not enough to cover my living expenses. My parents still got to come out a little for me. Hope to find another job though since I'm super free.

ALthough I'm so free...I've got to be disciplined. Masters is nothing like degree at all. Especially the thesis. If I really want to convert my masters to phd...then I've got to achieve a cgpa of 3.75 in my other courses. So, got to study smart.

Anyway, at the current moment, I'm eating nasi lemak bought from the roadside on my way back from sending sweetie to work. Today's task will be:
- clear my room
- clear kitchen cupboard
- find some journals/articles regarding socioemotional intelligence/development

That's all for now...toodles... =)

Out-of-Wedlock Child

This post may not be suitable for those who are sensitive towards this issue of pre-marital sex and the effects of it.

I'm coming 23 years old. Since I left Form 6, I've friends who got themselves pregnant before they were even married. I had 2 friends who went for abortion, which I unknowingly helped pay for one friend's abortion.

I know 3 people who I respect for not aborting. Though it's very shameful, yet, they kept the baby. It's good too that the guys took responsibility and marry the girls.

For out-of-wedlock child, I read in the news that one child was ridiculed by her school friends because her parents were not even married after some 10+ years. Her friends even called her names like 'anak luar nikah' and she's being taken care by her grandmother. How sad and pressure that girl must have felt. Such irresponsible parents.

Why with this issue? I have a passion for such cases. When I first heard that a very close friend of mine actually did an abortion, I really felt for the fetus inside. I couldn't sleep that night. And so happened, the next day, during lecture, my lecturer showed a presentation slide of aborted fetus. It was so difficult to hold back my tears that I had to leave the lecture hall.

Well, kudos for those who stood up and not abort your child although you know it is very shameful. I do believe that the child is a miracle. Of course no doubt that pre-marital sex is wrong..I won't deny that. Yet, God gives us choices to choose. Pre-marital sex is a wrong choice...but, if pre-marital sex has led to another problem, it shouldn't be solved with another wrong decision.

Aren't babies a miracle? I personally can't wait to have one. Though it's going to be tough to be a good mother, but I do believe that the child's life is in His hands. Just like my life.
It is my hope that I will have 2 beautiful sons and 2 pretty daughters of my own. And if God willing,I'll have enough financial support to support and bring up more kids.


Competence

I'm beginning to be very competent somehow. In the aspect of my academic. It is a blessed thing for me that I am able to further study to Masters..and with more effort, probably converting from masters to doctoral.

Yet, the pressure is starting. Finally, I was able to complete my medical check up and registration yesterday after waiting for so long. But sad news is...the courses that I plan to take..are FULL. Most of the courses have only space for 15 students. And there's this particular course only takes in 2 students. Gee..and for this semester, we need a minimum of 6 credit hours, which is 2 courses. I wonder..which course will still be available that is relevant to my field of study.

Another thing is that up till today, my supervisor has not replied me yet. I so want to meet her to discuss my thesis so that I can start my literature review..and haiz...NO REPLY.

Regarding the competence part...who?? why?? how?? My other coursemate, he's ahead of me by attending a workshop and meeting his supervisor, knowing what to do. Me? I'm lost. Totally lost in this masters at the moment. I have faith in my thesis though since I like and enjoy doing research (although it can be stressful). But I really do enjoy doing research >.<

So, what's ahead of me? What's my next step? How can I avoid this competency feeling that is making me discourage? Grateful to have sweetie with me..and most of all...I know that my Father is looking after me. After all, it is by His GRACE that I am accepted into Masters as He has been throughout my study life. He is my Provider during studies..that I can definitely testify.

Hmm...that seems to cheer me up a little. Hopefully, I will continue to hang on to Him and lose faith.

Signing off till the next time which I'm not sure when... take care peeps.

P/S: Jack, remind me to email you my new add >.<

Doubt

A call to someone last night saddens me. How could she doubt me? When I came to look for a place to stay, I was not expecting him to stay on in KL. I was already preparing myself that he might go to Singapore. Besides, I was also thinking of them when I decided this location. How could she doubt me? Is this going to make a gap between us? I totally HATE this feeling.
