Back in Perth

I've been back in Perth for a week or so, and it doesn't feel like it. Been busy running errands, paying fees, renewing contracts, getting ready for the new semester. I've just finished the first tuition week, and having gone through the introductions and what we'll be doing this semester, I think I can say that I'm looking forward to this sem. Of course, there's gonna be a heavier workload, but it's definitely getting more interesting because it's more relevant to what we'll be doing in future. Who would have thought I'd actually enjoy what I'm studying now. Ok lah, some units last year weren't all that exciting. It was a pain in the butt actually. But deep down, I kinda enjoyed what I was doing, and to be honest, engineering was last on the list when I had to decide what to do after college. How I ended up doing what I'm doing, and where I am now, is a testimony. I'm reminded of how good God is; how He opened up doors of opportunity, how He knows what I'd like and what my strengths are even before I discover it myself. Like now, I discovered I like problem solving and using logic etc. If you ask me what I thought of Chemical Engineering, I'd say it's like assembling a big piece of puzzle, being given small pieces and having to find your own small little pieces. Or like Lego, you build and design something out of bits and pieces everywhere. Well, that's the design aspect of Chem Eng anyway. Alright, in real life it's not that simple. But I like it, and I'm glad I didn't pick medicine or physiotherapy or anything else for that matter.

Right now I kinda need to focus, get my sleeping pattern back. I'm in a semi-holiday mood, already planning my next getaway. Terrible lah, me.
I figure this year, I'm not gonna have any new year resolution, because I tend not to follow them anyway. Instead, I did other things and grew in other areas. But it's good to have guidelines. So here it is, one word: Balance.

If there's been input (eating), there's gotta be equal amount of output (No I don't mean pang sai-ing. Exercise!)
If I want to spend, I need to work for it.
If there's a long day of lecture the next day, I need to get rest.
If I want the words that come out of my mouth to have substance, there's gotta be input somewhere.
If I want to inspire, I gotta be inspired too.
If I've received, I'd wanna give.

Sounds good, no?
