Timeline Tuesday ;

3.49pm

It was a busy,  productive Tuesday, similar to any of those days which time passed really quick – it’s like zaaaAaaP. Whoops it’s 2pm already.

Everybody is having their sweet power nap except yours truly who’s currently typing while listening to Don’t Say Goodnight by Hot Chelle Rae (C’mon don’t say goodnight, with the starts in the sky. Let’s wait til’ tomorrow paints the sun across the night~~)

Yesterday was pretty fruitful, also productive. I see improvements in myself – in terms of speed in doing things. Previous weeks, I felt like I was a task-oriented person, doing things just to complete it. Perhaps there are too many documents to be filled and completed as C.I. says. Or there is an obvious shortage of staffs. Or my speed ain’t comparable to experienced staff.n there. Or or.. so many hundreds of possibilities.

I noticed this since the second week and I have to say, I dislike it. Idk why I felt that way but I just dislike doing things like that. It’s like completing your homework so that your teacher is happy.

Personally, I am someone who do things with all my hearts out be it assignments, handmade/DIY stuff, photography and happiness projects. It’s either do it up to your best and with love, or do nothing at all. So I hope this applies to my career and future working life.

I’m not saying this because I’m gonna stop what I’m doing, what I’m studying and quit this course right away. No. Once I have started to walk on this journey, I’m going to continue walking and mastering the skills before my working life starts. It’s not about giving up half way on where you have started but it’s about realizing that things are not right in the beginning that you’re going to fix it, to make it right, so that you won't regret even for a second in the future.

4.09pm

Evening power nap.

5.00pm
“Let’s go!”

We headed to the swimming pool near the management office.

“C’mon PK. It’s the time to overcome your fear! Let’s do this!”, I whispered to my heart.

I have two wonderful teachers aka housemates aka classmates, who are so patient and are willing to teach me to float, to get used to the pool, to paddle, to SWIM (I must highlight that) – freestyle. I am so glad and grateful to have them to be my side overcoming this fear together.

Flashback : 14 years ago, I was 7. I was almost drown at that age, TWICE a day. Oh goodness me, I swear the feeling was so traumatizing. Ever since then, I never go for swimming ever again.. until 2012. I remembered the first time I learnt to ‘float’ (after so long not getting near to the pool) was at TARC (Olympic sized) swimming pool with Jan and Jeesin.  That traumatized memory came alive again. In the end, I just learnt how to jump and walk in the pool and… float.

Fast forward to today!
I managed to overcome 90% of the fear. I can immerse myself in the water for at least 20 secs, paddle better, and do much more things in the pool that I couldn’t have done before this. It was so amazing and I’d love to go to the pool again for more swimming lessons now :D

Thank you girls. Thank you so so much :))

9.33pm
Thoughts : Start off your day with a smile. Try brighten up people’s day by giving them your smile, your encouraging cheers, your motivating words, your helping hands, your positive thoughts, a part of your happiness. Somehow, these will bounce back to you. And the result of all these is satisfaction, the feeling of being accomplished. :) Try it if you haven’t!

9.44pm
As time runs, it’s the 5^th week and I started to pick up the pace (the speed, to be precise) and feel the ‘I-don’t-do-things-for-the-sake-of-doing-it” in me now.  (which is good isn’t it?) :)

Yeh, I have to keep this going. I can do this! I can certainly do this :))
