Taking a step at a time

I should seriouly stop worrying abt uni application outcome!>.< Its getting on my nerves each day... Every single time i see someone posting online that they have receive a call from any uni for interview or receiving a letter that they are accepted to so and so uni.. I feel happy for them.. honestly... but there's always this sinking feeling in my heart on why I havent gotten any? Am i really not fated to get into econs? I dont mind going NIE, really... i enjoy teaching and I think its a really fulfiling career and I like interaction with ppl! But, there's always this doubt that I may not be suited to be a teacher... and i cannot give them the best of what the singapore education are able to and push them to the fullest potential in both academic and character-building aspect. Getting a banchelor of arts (education) degree means my only route is a teacher.. so what happens i realise i'm not gd enough in future? I cant switch jobs. While working in kumon, there are times I wish i could have done so much more to help the kids there.. and improve the way i teach and go home each day with a sense of satisfaction.

As what danielle have said, I shld stop thinking so much and just take one step at a time and she believes that I will be a gd teacher.. so sweet of her:) I've been thinking from the day I received my As results till now.. i realised that really wanna have a job that is somehow related to teaching. So whether i get into the econs course or NIE I will be able to teach and I shld be content. I really hope i can change my worrysome mindset so i can be happier! There are so many other things to find pleasure in! As the saying goes miracles happen when you least expect them...

Ysd went out for dinner with colleagues at kumon toa payoh:) Didi was so excited to eat her ban mian! Hahas! We shld have more bonding time tgt! They brought me ard toa payoh to find all the cheapest deals for shoes and clothes that are nice:) I feel like getting a pair of those flat oxford shoes! Like the vintage feel(:

As usual I'll end off with a video, here's a song by Corraine May called Beautiful life. A real talent I must say(: And i love the lyrics of the song, it'll be a constant reminder to me to smile, its a beautiful life!


Beautiful Life - Corrinne May

It’s in living every moment
Like it could be our last
For our hearts are restless till
They rest in Love’s caress
And the moments we remember
They interweave our hearts
Like a tapestry surrounding us,that we forget to touch

It’s why we wake up every morning
It’s why we seek each other’s smile
It’s why we know that it’s all worth it
It’s why we hold on we make the sacrifice

It’s in the eyes of a child
As you hold her in your arms
And your heart starts to beat once again
And the world is reborn
In the beauty of her song
Smile
It’s a Beautiful Life.

It’s in the hope of the poor man
As he struggles to make ends meet
It’s in the laughter of his children as they play in the street
Don’t need a million dollars to raise a happy child
Just need a pair of loving arms and the time to make her smile

It’s why we wake up every morning
It’s why we seek each other’s smile
It’s why we know that it’s all worth it
It’s why we hold on we make the sacrifice

It’s in the tears of a friend
As you finally make amends
And your soul starts to breathe once again
And the weight of the world
Falls away with one word
Smile
It’s a Beautiful Life

Oh….
Oh….
Oh…..

It’s in the touch of her lips
As she leans in for a kiss
And your world starts to spin once again
And two hearts become one
As a dream is begun
Smile
It’s a Beautiful Life

It’s a Beautiful Life
It’s a Beautiful Life
Smile
It’s a Beautiful Life
