We are already nearing the end of December 2014 before I even realised. I guess this month has flown by because there's just been too much going on and I've really been so very busy. With the end of December, this also means that the end of 2014 is coming. I'm on a two week break from school now, like finally.... haha! This break is very much welcome. These first few months back to studying have sure been hectic. Anyways, this break is also the reason I have some spare time to blog now. So I thought I'd do a quick summary of the major events that happened this past year, which would help me reflect on the year 2014 as well.
1.ORD
First up was of course my ORD which happened early in January, With that, I have handed over all my duries and responsibilities to my understudy and am free of my NS responsibilities. Yay!
2. First time taking on a part time job
I guess you can say I was lucky that I got offered a part time job for admin work by an aunt not too long after my ORD. If I had been made to look for some part time job on my own, I might never have started searching for one as I can think of so many other things to do with this long awaited break. Still, these four or five months taking on a desk job has been a fulfilling experience for me, meeting people and experiencing life in an office at a desk. Thanks to all who have contributed to this experience directly or otherwise.
3. Passing of my grandfather
While I was involved with my part time work, my granddad's health took a turn for the worse. His health deteriorated quickly which came as real shock to all of us and he passed on in a matter of months. I should probably count myself lucky that I had this long period of break away from school and work( as it was part time work, my time was more flexible) to be there for my granddad and spend as much time as I could with him in his last days.
My granddad has led a fulfilling life caring for others and placing the needs of those around him as priority, Most of the time, it was us, his grandchildren, who has the greatest share of his care and time, never refusing any requests for his help. Thus, it is only fitting that we be there for him when he needed us. Rest in peace, yeye,,,
4.Starting uni
Finally, I have also received a Uni offer finally earlier this year and started classes not too long after. Thankfully, the offer came in time for me to inform my granddad while he was still conscious. Me getting into university was something he was very concerned about so I'm glad to be able to set his mind at ease about this matter.
Okay, that's is all I guess. What a year this has been!
