Well as you guys can see, from my previous post about the passing of Connie and Brandy that I am now back working at the zoo. Well initially, it was my job during the hols as I awaited the reopening of school but now that school has reopened. It is my source of extra income. Just incase you were wondering, at present, I am working on mondays and wednesdays while I will be attending school on tuesdays, thursdays and fridays. The most tiring day I would say is on friday because not only is it the end of the week but also it is the day that I have 2 lectures back to back. So far things have been rather alright but i must admit that it is really very tiring, which brings me to my next point.
At the moment I am sick, down with a flu I suppose for I have yet to visit a doctor. It has been about 4 days since the first symptoms appeared. Initially it was uncontrollable sneezing. At first i thought it was my usual "not enough sleep" type of sneezing but the sneezing got so bad that i ended up with a sore throat. I still refused to believe that I was sick and thought that i'd be alright after a nights rest but the next day, things got worse. My eyes kept tearing and liquid just kept flowing out of my nose. Then came the onslaught of fever, headache and cough. By now, my nose had stopped running but it was now blocked, with a huge mass of mucus...eew! Haha. Because of this, I reported sick on wednesday and did not turn up for work. Subsequently on thursday and friday, which is today, I also skipped school. Sigh, probably this may be my body's way of telling me that it is over exhausted but it just isn't the time for me to crash, especially when my schedule is packed in such a way that falling sick and mising class would mean that I have quite alot to catch up on. The syllabus being much tougher and more theory based this year is also not helping me in any way. Sigh, I sure hope that I can still pull through and attain my 2nd upper class honours.
Purchased a couple of new items for myself recently. First up is a PSP which i decided to get after shunning from it for quite awhile. Guess I just felt that it was better for me to have a console to keep me company because at times it can get pretty boring when I am waiting and have nothing to do. Oh and did I mention that the first game which i have entitled "burnout legends" is a birthday present from Babe, thank you baby! Well, I also have her to thank for introducing the game to me which has gotten me hooked....not a good sign. More about my birthday later...Secondly, i've also gotten a macro lens adapter and a magnifying filter, terms used which are too complex for your understanding but just know that with them I can now take close up shots of objects. Well, they are also birthday presents, courtesy of my mother because they were the only things which I figured out I wanted. So yep, that caps my list of new additions.
Now onto my birthday. Just a couple of days ago on the 13th of oct was my birthday and on the day before which was the 12th, after church service,me, babe and our church friends went to the ZOO! Haha, I know that some of you may think that it is boring since thats the place that I am working at but hey! going there with a group of friends is definately a different experience! Well, initially, it was just an ordinary enjoyable day out at the zoo until the point when we were at primate's kingdom....halfway through the arapaima feeding, yasmin distracted me by getting me to go closer to the moat, pretending to ask me questions and all of a sudden, she called me to turn around and guess what, right behind me was babe and the rest, holding out a birthday cake and singing me a birthday song. Boy was I caught off uard and mind you, it was right smack in the middle of the arapaima feeding with other visitors around! Actually I already knew all along that babe was up to something because she had been rather suspicious in the days leading up to my birthday just that I had no clue as to exactly what she had planned. Well, I shan't go into the details as to how I got suspicious but I must hand it to babe and say a big THANK YOU to her for making the effort to plan everything. As simple as it was, it still meant the world to me because nothing beats being in the presence of loved ones and friends and to say the truth, no one has ever done something like this for me before. So yeap, babe, thanks for making everything happen and thanks for being the best girlfriend that anyone can ask for. I really appreciate everything that you have done me, both big and small, you rock! Haha
Now onto the topic about babe, did i tell you that she is a born again christian? Well she is! A couple of weeks ago, I finally convinced her to go to church with me and that was exactly what she did! She took the step of faith and joined me for service early one sunday morning and thereafter, she felt that the service was to her liking and from that day onwards, she has been attending sunday service with me so praise the lord! Haha! I am just glad that she is attending church together with me because nothing beats being able to go before the lord with your loved one and proclaiming that He is our saviour. Now then you may wonder, why is it that i am talking about attending church now especially when i've been away from it for so long....
Well, all I can say is that God really does work in magical ways. As some of you probably know, I have been away from church for several months maybe more than a year already and there was this one day when I received a call from Yasmin who used to be my care group leader and she wanted to meet up with me. All along I would avoid meeting up with her, trying to put off the meeting through all sorts of excuses but this time round somehow I relented. So we met up and did quite abit of catching up and for no apparent reason, our conversation entered into the area of God...as we chatted, yasmin suddenly felt the urge to ask me to go to church of which the details I shall not go into but the bottom line is, it truly is amazing that God can turn an ordinary meet up session just to do some catching up into a chance to reach into my life and try to get me back to church once again.
Onto my relationship with babe, I have to admit that it has been filled with ups and downs. There have been plenty of joys and laughter but at the same time, I cannot discount the fact that there have also been times when we had our differences. Such issues can actually break out into major and heated squabbles to the extent that at times, we contemplated giving up. But thankfully we did not but yet pushed ahead. I guess all these are inevitable as we go along. It's through all these that we can get to know one another much more and it really takes a whole lot of giving and taking to keep a relationship going. I'm also thankful that now both of us have God in our lives so whenever we falter, we will both know that there is a higher authority who will never crumble but who would instead guide us through. So, heres to many more days, months and years to come with babe my dearest, whom i love so much=)
Lastly, just to touch on some of the activities that are coming up, tomorrow babe and I will be taking part in the canon photomarathon! It will be my seocond and babe's first. I'm really excited about it, not only regarding the competition itself but more importantly because I have babe joining in with me. It will be so fun going around with her, figuring out what pictures to take to best fit the themes we are given, OooOOoo, can't wait! Alco come december, if the situation permits, babe, me and my family as well as relatives would be going to bangkok! It's gonna be our first overseas trip together and athough it isn't one involving just the 2 of us, I'm sure we'll still enjoy ourselves nonetheless and like I said, as long as we remain together, going on a trip together just the 2 of us will be a matter of time.
So thats about all,an update of my life ever since my last entry if you have managed to read all the way till here and just a point to add, I have changed my fish tank, pictures will come along in the future.=)
