Reflect 2009
I think it's high time again, that I start to reflect again... On the year that's about to wrap up, stowed and kept in the throngs of what we call 'Time'...
2009 started on an interesting note. For once, I actually begin to think, maybe God finally decided he's had enough fun screwing with my life... And maybe... Just maybe, decided to put things right... Where they were and should have been left alone...
And so... I celebrated one year into my new job at CAPPAL. Finally pulled together enough funds with company support and started on my degree (with full blessing and support from the powers that be)... Continued my driving lessons that I stopped due to financial problems.. And I thought I was meeting someone new at school... So here was the plan... Get my driver's license... With the reimbursement, I should have enough to decently support a car while my tuition fees could be put on installment plans so they're not so strenuous...
I could have had it all... Then again, in my happiness... I guess I forgot about God... To be wary, to be on-guard against...
He struck again... Due to the downturn, the tuition support was withdrawn suddenly and just exactly at this point where I was informed, it was already just too late to withdraw from my studies without having to incur additional charges equivalent to the remainder of my tuition fees payable... So I had to scrimp, save and struggle to pull together funds to support my studies... On my own...
And people at home here.. Have someone supporting his/her studies.. And yet can fail umpteen times..
And so, the only redeeming factor is that I passed my driving... But what's the use of that?...
To make me browse through the Car Marts.. Scrimp, save just to barely scrape through monthly payments for my tuition fees... Then not just have to worry about my studies, and struggle to focus.. And ponder what it could have been?... Or should have been?...
