CROSS PATHS..... IN A TOILET.

Hehe Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu..

As funny as my header of this entry sounds, that is how my soul sister and I crosses paths! 

Had an hour or two long catch up with EJ over at Fajar as she wanted to pass me her heavenly baked brownies! 😍 They really are heavenly brownies! All my sisters and my mom agrees! Hehe. Ma Shaa Allah. Jazakillahu Khairan dear, for the time and sweat in baking these!

We updated each other regarding our hijab journey so far, the supportive friends and family, the tests given by Allah, and everything that we could relate ourselves to! She's such a sweetheart.. Always advising me when I'm down, always thinking positive - which leads me to think positive as well. Allah let us cross path for a reason. May Allah guide us both and make it easy for us. Ameen!

So one of the topic during our conversation was how did we even acknowledged each other's presence? Lol. This is just plain boring and hilarious. I told her I remember I was in the girls toilet with Hanim during school hours in our Seconday School days. EJ walked in with kiDd went into individual cubicles (lol, yes had to be very specific as I can really recall our first time we verbally acknowledged each other..).

So when Hanim and I was done, we left the toilet but just before we left, I said "Bye kiDd". Hanim was like "then the other one?" So I took a few steps back and said "Bye EJ!" And she responded a "Bye!" back right from inside her cubicle! We were laughing over this during our meet up and it's all these little things that creates memories and laughters when we think back about our olden days again. Hehe.

Wassalam.

BREAKING DOOOOOWW....

Probably shouldn't be all negative just because I'm unwell and I've yet to start my revisions for my major exams due to time constraints. Even tho there is no point in denial that my body is showing signs of breaking down (there... I've said it!), maybe it's just another way of telling myself that, "Hey look! You're falling sick due to the pressure of exams getting nearer and pushing yourself to work at the same time! It shows that you're coping and surviving attempting to be an independent young lady..." (This sounds like I'm just trying to encourage and motivate myself instead of demoralizing.. <_< LS - Laugh Silently)....

Okay so it's been a while since I last blogged.. and it's been infinity while since I last jotted down a proper piece. Here's an update to which I think a lot of changes has taken place in my life (not really sure whether it's changes to the things around me or changes in me, myself and I! LS.. :D)

I graduated with Diploma in Logistics Management from my 3 years poly journey in Ngee Ann Polytechnic about 5 months ago :) It was worth all the climbing of slopes, pressure, bitter/sweet memories, tears and sweat! Alhamdulillah for being able to graduate with a recognized dip-cert ;D

So I ended my poly journey with my 5 months Industrial Attachment Program (IAP) which is also known as internship, with Toll Integrated Feeder Pte Ltd (TIF, the subsidiary of Toll Logistics Asia Limited - TLA). Since application and outcome of school is not until May/June, I extended my stay with TLA until end of May. Definitely worth my stay as I gained much more knowledge and experience! Shifted my seat from all the way at the back (toilet lady they call me, as I was nearest to the loo!) to...... inside my Operation Manager (OM)'s office! No kidding! I was asked to shift inside as my OM needed my help most of my internship days :) I was surrounded by caring and wonderful uncles in his office! I was (and still am) the only privileged intern so far who gets to experience such a wonderful opportunity! Hehe :D

Out of 3 schools I applied for, Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) offered me a place in Bachelor in Business Management and Bachelor in Business (Logistics and Supply Chain Management). Alliance with Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). Of course I just have to accept my LSCM course due to my diploma knowledge and advantages ;D So instead of enrolling for 3 full years or Advance 1 (2 years), I'm exempted from 1.5 years of the course duration and joined as the Advance 2 student :) Alhamdulillah! Hehe.

The first semester is a short 2 months lecture as I'm among the first lucky batch of intakes! (Yupp, SIM-RMIT offered a new course this year and I'm in the 1st intake!) And currently, this entire month I'll be busy juggling work and studies (it's my study break now) for some major exam at the end of the month! Which explains my header for this entry! I'm about to breakdown as I'm down with fever, coughs, and migraine :S haaaaizz.

One can never have the best of both worlds. I'll try my best! Even if I'll end up breaking down....................

Xx,
M <3
