It's been months weeks since I last update this blog.
Although feeling a bit guilty a times, but I don't really have a mood to write lately. So, I have been filling this blog with lots of flight simulation entries. But dear blogspot, I think I owe you some stories to share. So, kindly forgive me for being so late and listen to my stories. :)
Finally, after four years studying in NTU Singapore, by the grace of God I have now earned my Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering with first class honor. I think it is most appropriate to dedicate this title to my beloved parents and my sister, Tata. It is their unceasing prayers that showers me with enormous blessings, abundant grace flowing like a river.
I could not forget, Prof. Yongki Go, for his constant guidance and support in everything. I thank him for believing in me; he is a teacher and a friend, a lighthouse in times of distress. He has been a great motivator, a great model and he will always be a person that I look up to. For everything that he has done, I can never be thankful enough.
I thank my friends who has constantly supported me during my journey in NTU. They bring growth in me, they bring joy, they bring tears, they are the hands of God working to shape me. I thank everyone without exception, but I especially thank those dearest to my heart:
Randy, for loving me for what I am. You never fail to believe in me, whatever I do. For your unceasing prayer, you are such a miracle in my life..
Edo, for being somebody that I can always count on. You never fail to amaze me! For your constant support in times of distress..
Gibran, for being a great counsellor. I will never find anyone like you in my life. Thanks for being so special.
Hoho, for your care and support. Thanks for being such a great companion on this journey, to revive my drooping spirit in times when frustration grows high.
Ton, for your love, for the music, for being there. You are such a great brother. Thanks for the magic that we share. :)
Nto, for believing in me. You are a true friend, light in times of distress.
Naomi, for just being you. Thanks for sharing your life.
PeQi, for the togetherness we share, for the passion, and for being such a great companion during CFD and FMC! :)
Gunadi, for the comfort and kindness. Love you much! Muah muah! :D
Kelsen, for the music, for simply EVERYTHING! :) You are such a treasure. I would surely miss you much, Kels, but I believe that we will always be in each other's prayer coz the music's always there in our heart. :)
Jere, for being such a great brother and companion. You are such a blessing in my life. Love you so much! :D *muacks*
Irene, for the love and care of a sister in my days in NTU. You continue to shine my days with your laughs and smiles! *muacks*
Monchee, for being the best "Mon*** Ci**" ever! :) Your care, your love and your support... gak ada duanya dehhh. :)
My convocation is scheduled on 30 July and by the grace of God alone, I am honored to receive the Daimler Gold Medal cum Cash Award from the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. It is awarded to the students who distinguished himself in the Mechatronics stream. I feel so honored yet I realize that I could only achieve it through Him who strengthens me.
There was a change of plan for my flight to the States. An e-mail was sent to me indicating that I need to attend IT:TALK, a kind of English language training for Teaching Assistants. In the end of the 3-week-course, we will undergo a kind of teaching test. I have to pass the test otherwise my scholarship will be considered as void. I hope that I would pass the test easily.
The program is gonna start on 3rd Aug, so I have a change of plan. I will be leaving on 1st Aug instead of on the 15th as planned. I tried to ask them whether I could skip the course but they said that eventually I should pass a kind of practical teaching test otherwise the scholarship would be considered void. *sighs*
Lucky that NWA doesnt charge too much for the change. I am penalized for S$615. Considering that I will arrive there earlier (1530hrs instead of 1840hrs) and I don't need to pay more air tickets from Pontianak to Singapore and hotel charges in Singapore... I think S$615 is worth it.
I have been on holiday for like a month plus and I am getting a bit fatter, I think. Haha. I don't know why but I have been very anxious of this departure to the States. It's been very hard to maintain the optimism. I am getting mroe and more paranoid about this departure... Feeling like going to a new place, all alone and by myself... ><
During the holiday I have spent quite some time on learning photoshop... helping my father with his design and this is my first born masterpiece... :P
