Blessed and thankful




My results for last semester.

I was working (doing my internship now) when I got a WhatsApp text from a classmate in a group chat saying that results are out. I was like, oh my gosh, I thought Saturday only release?! With an anxious heart, I logged in to my uni's student portal to check my results. When that (the picture above) appeared, I couldn't believe my eyes. I was thinking, did the uni messed up my results with someone else's cause there is no way I will get this kind of results. This is a dream, I told myself, my alarm will go off any minute and I will wake up. But, this is reality. I really did get this results. 

This result... I can only thank God for His blessings and grace. Seriously speaking, I couldn't have done this on my own. All my life, I have always been an average student. This kind of result, I only see people get it. It is only in dreams and wishful thinking that I have this achievement. Amidst all the drama (on my side) and everything, I still managed to achieve this. I can do nothing but to praise and thank God for His promises to me. God is good!

"For I know the plans I have for you, " declares the Lord, 
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." 
- The Holy Bible, Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

There are, of course, people that I would like to thank also. Without them, I wouldn't be who I am today and achieving this. First, my family, of course. A big thank you to my parents and sisters for being there for me. They were so brutally honest with me all the time. But I call this tough love. They put up with all my nonsense and wouldn't hesitate to give me a whack on the head for being overdramatic. Whenever I am in trouble, they are always there by my side to support me. Even when I do something stupid or silly, they will still be there for me.

Next, my lecturers. I thank God for the lecturers that I have last semester. They are really awesome and nice. Not only did they do their part in imparting all the knowledge they have to us, they also take the time out to sit down with me and give me advise when I needed it. Their advise and encouragement are priceless and helped me until today. I will never forget them. Also, not to forget all the teachers and lecturers that have taught me in every stage of my life. They, too, played their part in shaping and preparing me.

Last but not least, my dear friends and classmates. To all my friends and classmates, THANK YOU! You all are always here for me, partnering with me for assignments, be my study buddies and listen to all my grumblings. I am sorry for whatever trouble, anxiety or drama I put you all through. I couldn't have ask for better friends than you all. Thank you for your patience, kindness and understanding. Also, thank you for putting up with me. I know I can be a handful and quite difficult. Thank you for everything.

Last semester hasn't been easy for me. Well, I believe it hasn't been easy for any of us. There were many ups and downs. There are the life dramas I believe everyone go through. Then there were the last minute work and late nights. The emotions that I have to deal with. The stress, anxiety and worry. But in the end, I survived and this is the greatest reward to get. I am really glad all the blood, sweat and tears I gave didn't go to waste. =P 

It has been a great journey and many lessons were learnt. But this is not the end of it. I believe there are many more lessons and hardships coming my way. I will be prepared to take them on. There are greater things to achieve in life and I am so ready for it all. Let's do it! (So not advertising for Nike.. Just sayin'.. xP)

THANK YOU, EVERYONE! LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!
