Welcome ♥
More than I could hope or dream of
You have poured Your favour on me
One day in the house of God is
Better than a thousand days in the world
So blessed, I can't contain it...
So much, I've got to give it away,
Your love taught me to live now...
You are more than enough for me.
Lord, You're more than enough for me
Lord, You're more than enough for me
Title: we close a chapter in our lives/ goodbye to our times in NYP
Date: Sunday, February 28, 2010
well i've been wanting to write this post since exams ended on thurs, but it's been a fountain of emotions, and words just cant seem to put it all together.
but here goes.
exams ended, and its rrly ended for good this time round before i decide to further my studies, because thursday was OFFICIALLY my last day in NYP. my goodness how time flies rrly. all of us have changed so much over these last 3 years. we've grown to become finer individuals, sharpened at the edges, toughened up through all the emotional roller coaster rides we've been on. we definitely became emotionally stronger; wad we used to be so affected by, now we begin to see differently (in a different light), to value the more important things in life. through this course, it rrly threw us into the deepest pits in our lives where we thought to ourselves lets just leave this course altogether cos there's no way we're gonna make it out of the dumps. life was always rosy and relatively smooth sailing up till this point when we entered Physiotherapy. we were faced with our deepest fears, thrown into the ocean and left to find our way to shore by ourselves.
let me recount how life was like the last 2 months:
staying back till very late in school almost every day to have project discussions ( which were never ending)
we had assignments due which required extensive searches of literature reviews to the depths of the earth
practical exam
FYP touch-ups before the finale presentation, after which had to consolidate everything; finishing thre report, going for viva and stuff
final exam preparations in the midst of CNY cum assignment due the day before the first paper
basically it was a life that had 'no day and no night' literally.
at tht time, i rrly felt like everything was so overwhelming seriously. there wasnt any light at the end of the tunnel. it's amazing when you think abt the something tht u never thought you could accomplish and then when u do, you rly surprise yourself. and tht's how it's been like for me these 3 years. everytime i tot to myself, how am i gg to get thru this, it always turns out fine but not before slogging my guts out. all of us are destined for great things, we underestimate our capabilities alot of the times.
at the end of the day, i noe despite all the difficulties this course brings i had a good hell of a time in this dreadful place; NYP. it's a terrible place to study. but it was also a place, i met so many great pple. my future colleagues-to-be. great friends, confidantes. i noe jolly well that i would not have been able to plough through all the shit above if not for this group of crazy people, whom i shared all the laughter with. who rrly have been my blessing. God's blessing to me. standing here at the footstep of another new journey that is about to begin, i noe that all this while God has been working in my life and His works have shone so brightly all these years. i prayed for Him to show me His purpose for my life, and He has been so faithful in delivering, in taking care of everything. He knew how tough this course was gg to be, and so He surrounded me with amazing pple to make everything alittle easier, to help me get thru this. i know words can never truly expressed the extent of how great my class has been, and how grateful i am for God's work in my life. everything was rrly planned properly.
all in all, we r one of the best batches that have walked the halls of NYP and our lecturers can attest to that. and it's not entirely in terms of academic but in terms of our cohesiveness, how great a joy the lecturers had in teaching us.
though we complain about all the workload and stuff, but after the last paper of Geron ended, i suddenly felt like there was a missing piece in my life alr. i asked myself 'now what'? parting, and gg our own seperate ways, with these wonderful pple is the saddest part of all. never thought it'd be this hard. looking at fotos on FB never fails to work my tear glands. im rrly going to miss EVERYTHING! EVERYONE! i have no regrets coming to NYP, taking this course and going on this un-orthodox route of not gg overseas to uni, because you guys showed me that it was all worth the journey and the ride. i would never have exchanged this for something else. all these memories will be with me always, and it'll be someting i'll always cling on to when when im down and out.
to have found you in the midst of my messy life is something i treasure dearly as well. i love you dear! you've made my life so much rosier.
