poly forum 2011 - reflections 3 stepping out of your comfort zone

there was a point of time where i regretted enrolling into the polytechnic

i really did.

because if i had not done so, i would still be making merry with the gang on the PJ ship.

in other words, i would still be stuck in my comfort zone

however, reality sets in. as a result, i am forced to expand my area of comfort

which made me:

1) more empathetic

understanding of other feelings (:

2) thirst for knowledge

school is for learning, not for merry making (:

3) a thinker

still working on this area because it is still kinda slow (:

4) more selective

in terms of everything and everyone.

5) more bitchy

cheers to bitching sessions!

5) cherishing the good old friends than i ever ever did :D

i wouldnt be here if it wasnt for their continuous support

and yes.

it might seem a little brief, but i have changed a lot in 2 years.

i feel that i might have become a better person ready to face the many obstacles that i could encounter.

but i am not too sure if i could like myself if i were to meet another jesslyn yim :/

neverthless, poly is definitely the right-est choice i have made so far.

poly forum 2011 - reflections 2 dataplan

the thing about my pathetic phone and i is that we cant log onto to the WWW

yes. no wifi and no dataplan -.-

during these 2 weeks, i had to struggle to be the ignorant sp girl who has to listen and digest everything that was said

having said that,

1) i had to write information down on a piece of paper.

which is simply pathetic, because people just fished out their iphones to take down key notes of the interesting dialogue session that we were having.

some might argue that notebooks are still the safest choice when your phone gets kuku butttt....

2) there are information that i need instantaneously. there is the WWW and i do not have access to it. hence whenever, i had things that i couldnt comprehend a.k.a have yet heard of it in my entire life. i couldnt google it. which sucks, simply said that i have to ask for SOS. which is highly regarded as helpless, ignorant and simply kampong.

i remember there was this incident where they were talking about USA. the ulu parts to be specific where gunshots are heard every night. but i was just sitting there being the ignorant one digesting what they said. which is simply, SAD to realise that i have vast improvement to make in the areas of general knowledge.

disappointed to admit that i do not have ample opportunities to travel due to reasons such as MY PARENTS ARE TOO BUSY TO GO.

oh well, i guess i have to refer to lonelyplanet.com to gain more insights then.

my point is, i if i had access to the WWW i could easily obtain information that i wanted instead of stone-ing without any form of contribution.

poly forum 2011 - reflections

it was a memorable trip where u get to meet all sorts of intelligent, fun loving and vocal people from the various polytechnics. *networking*

new friendships were forged.

as usual, i was listening to most of their stories because my life is still as mundane and uninteresting as ever. -.-

so there we were THE ENTREE!

students with burning passion of what they are currently doing and already know what they wanted with their life ( career )

and there was me; listening attentively without a clue in which which direction i want to head to.

nonetheless, it dawned upon me that it doesn't matter whether i have found my passion yet because i still have another 1.5 years to find it. * before UNI comes in *

but for now, i'll just have to jump onto every learning opportunity presented to me. hoping that through all those various experiences that i can finally find my my area of interest.

:D

...

will be able to see entree pretty soon

* every 3rd friday of the month *

awesome much.

btw, i have started this journal.

so ya, wouldnt be here so often then.

and and

best of luck to my A lvl friends :D

the reason why i chose to distant myself away from u

one moment, i claimed that u were my PBF

next moment, we drifted apart and both of us were feeling :/ :( about it

then, comes the moment where i totally feel nonchalant about it

* not exactly :/ *

during the one attempt that we tried to salvage our relationship, i told u that u dont LISTEN.

u yatter and yatter and yatter all the time.

yah, reflections were done. and the response was:

got meh? ok, i will shut up next time.

yap. then about an hour ago i received a message OTW back home.

hey wanna go minds cafe tmr? ...

haha. look who isn't listening

those who actually know me, should be able to know that i exclaim stuff to the whole entire world

eg: I LOVE BLUE

I LOVE GREEN BEAN SOUP

I AM CAVING FOR STRICTLY PANCAKES

and this friend of mine asked if i wanted to go minds cafe-.-

pardon me if u find me naggy next time.

i dont expect people to remember nitty gritty/ minor details about what i mentioned/ craved.

but i repeat my words constantly.

disappointment.

oh ya, before that.

i would like to say

i am going on a strict exercise and diet regime

healthy but controlled and monitored

:D

wish me luck

and say hello to my fabulous abs and body
