‘Tonight, I dream. Tomorrow, I do.’

That was the theme for this blog, or you can say the ‘slogan’ as this will be the first sentence that you will see when you open this blog. About one and a half years ago, I wrote a post called Determination. I was sharing my insecurities as well as my regrets as my grades was not doing so well. I was feeling emotional as that day may be the last day where I am still considered a SIT student, an undergraduate. The term ’undergraduate’ still feels a little surreal till now. To me, getting into SIT was not something that I was really really proud of because SIT was not as ‘famous’ and well known as compared to NUS and NTU. Therefore, when I introduce my school to people for the first time, I would start the sentence with ‘It’s a school that no one knows about....’

I did not find anything wrong with this introduction for a very long time. Because it is true, in a sense that, unless you are an undergraduate or someone who is involves in the education industry, you might not have heard of SIT. It was only until recently where I realise that, getting into university is not that easy after all. I consider myself to be really lucky sometimes.

This is my third year in SIT and this journey still feels like a dream. One day I submitted my application to SIT and somehow I got called for interview, somehow I managed to pass the interview and landed myself in a slot in SIT.  The start was not good at all, I was getting borderline passes for all my modules, my CGPA was in the danger zone, I was at the verge of getting terminated by the school. But somehow I made it through and here I am, going through my one year of internship. With just one more semester after this internship, I would be able to graduate. Through these three years, I collected all of available academic status which includes warning, probation and termination. I was actually terminated during Year 2.3 but due to an improvement in my grades, my director decides to give me a second chance. This second chance is the last chance. I have to make it and I did.

My friends and I would often joke around talking about how amazing we are to be able to survive through all this. Looking back, it was really has been a rollercoaster ride. And unfortunately (HAHA), this ride has not ended yet. Internship just started on Sept and to be honest, it was not an easy start. The weekdays are starting early and ending late. I can not afford to be wilful and just skip work just because i don’t want to go. Many changes that I have to adapted to and it has been hard. But this is life, isn’t it? People have to adapt to the environment and not the other way round. ;)

Seems like it is going to be a ‘wonderful’ journey once more. With that, it’s time to end work! (6PM already!) Seeya!!!

Tonight, I dream. Tomorrow, I do. I dreamt about it and I managed to achieve it. How about you?
