Rare occasion for me to be sitting at home on a Saturday afternoon doing my own work.
Been trying hard to get myself up to do transcripts.
Honestly, interview transcripts ain't easy. Its rather tough to literally transcript every single word the person says and to make matters worse when the interviewee has an accent or speaks too quickly/muffled or even when you can hear the background noises (like people talking/coffee machine engines working) so loudly from the recording.
But i am just so thankful for the support I've received from my friends, colleagues and even managers as well as the industry partners out there. To those who are so fully in support of students' final year projects, thank you. Thank you so much.
Def ain't easy to entertain us students bugging them for interviews, but i'm really glad to have met really nice people who support students in the things we do. Believing in us and the projects we are handling. :-)
I remember how when i first started contacting people and i was like so afraid that they won't be bothered to reply me but hey, replies started coming in. And even for those busy ones, they requested for a questionnaire to be sent over. Though i haven't receive back replies/approvals, i'm still thankful and will still continue to place faith. I guess at times like these, you need to take a chill pill and have faith. Just a few days ago, felt super stressed out all of a sudden because of school work (esp capstone) that i kinda broke down. I mean i guess i was afraid time's ticking away and i do not have enough time to conduct my interviews and that my contacts ain't helping much either (with blueticking me) Sobs.
But just then, the person replied and i was like OMG, OMG YESSSSS!!!
I got to learn to understand that they are busy people at work and i guess since we need their favour, patience is a real damn virtue we need. Been trying to tame my instant need of gratification for replies and stuff lately.
And i guess one more important thing to note is that, be happy for other's success.
It may be tough when things ain't going smoothly for you and your friends are doing perfectly fine, but still celebrate for them. Celebrate their success with them.
Sometimes, i guess its hard being genuinely happy for others when you're like falling down into a pit hole. But then again, you reap what you sow.
So have faith in what you do, you will be fine.
Just happen to see this quote which makes so much sense, it says "Being happy for others may not come naturally for everyone. After all, we all have a competitive spirit. But when you find you’re able to feel happiness simply because others are happy, you gain a fresh perspective on life." :)
So yes still on the path to be a better person, learning to love myself more.
The best part i guess is when you know you still have lots to learn about life and the journey has yet to begin (sort of).
Recently, been catching up with some of my fav people and it feels so good to see them.
Felt like ages since we last sit down and catch up on life.
And i just feel like you know, so grateful for everything in life rn.
It may feel like summer to me and i know perhaps things will be tough in time to come, but am i ready to embrace it?
Talked about it to him and it always heartwarming to know that there's always that special someone staying by your side with you through your life. I mean changes are inevitable, but what's important is that you guys stay by each other side always.
Much late night thoughts lately too and i just wanna say enjoy every moment of life. Life's meant to have its ups and downs and all we can do is have a little faith that things will work out well if it doesn't and if it does, treasure those moments.
Looking forward to later meet up with my cute little buddy too, been almost a year? :')
Until then XOXO
