Effort Won't Fail You

Before I start typing away, I would like to apologize for my absence in writing. Last semester hasn't been the kindest. However, I've been wanting to post this for a very long time, ever since I bought the ticket to Phuket 5 Months ago actually. 

Throwback to March 2015: 
Sue Ann and I were going through some tough times that semester. Randomly one day while having lunch we spoke of travelling. That day itself, we booked our flight tickets.

Throwback April : 
I started my first day working at Cotton On and I must say God is truly good to have blessed me with the most amazing colleagues. My days working there were filled with hysterical laughters and now to even think of resigning this year end leaves me feeling very morose. 

I would be considered a liar if I said there weren't gloomy days at work. Those days were so draggy, I felt unmotivated and tired. Worse than that thought was the feeling of giving up. For the past 5 months my schedule mostly have been all about classes , assignments, work and exams. At one point I found it hard to juggle both at the same time. I can never imagine the effort nor will I understand how my seniors in Degree pull off a 4.0 and work in events every week. My respect for them is unwavering. 

 I stumbled upon a short story on Tumblr few months back and it has been helping me to pull through the storms. 
An american guy asked one of his classmate : "What makes you so motivated to attend 7 am classes? " She simply responded " Effort won't fail you." I started to think about the amazing things I could do while I am in Phuket. Even though my thoughts were vague but all I've ever think of everyday is travelling to places. 

I am proud to say , I've made it. 

It is always the harshness of things, which were the hardest to face. Yet the harshest things were also the most important, for once you faced them, you could face it all. 
Never listen to those who doubt in your ability. You will never know what you can do until you give your all. Honestly, 5 months ago, I didn't know how I was gonna make it. I didn't have a job when I booked the trip, Sue Ann had to pay for the tickets first. Most of the times I was distressed that I won't be able to save up in such a short period of time. Also, due to classes I didn't have a lot of hours to work but today, I am overjoyed to know that my effort pulled off. 

 Kho Phi Phi Island. 

Look at her "faster take a pic of me this is awkward face"



I will never be able to explain how I feel when the day arrived. The word "overjoyed" would not serve what I felt justice. 

To Sue Ann :
I will never be able to thank you enough for being a great friend and even though I should say I love you more often than I should, I want you to know that I am grateful to have you through the good times and the bad. It has been an amazing 2 years with you. Congratulations on making it on the Dean's List this semester ! I AM A PROUD BESTFRIEND.

To those who are going through tough times and still fighting for whatever you wish to achieve, you have my support. When your glorious days come, I will be proud of each of you cause darling, you deserve only the best.
