Renewed strenght

Today i attended a photo shoot held in conjunction with Diversity week. Each country had a representative within the photo taken and I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to represent Malaysia. Don't ask me how I got the invitation; i was quite puzzled myself. After the shoot the Uni bought us a cup of coffee each and gave us a chance to mingle with students from other countries. There were about 30+ of us there.

I had initially planned to leave ASAP as I had to meet my supervisor,Liz, however  Liz had to cancel due to some technical maintenance issues. It was amazing how everything fell into place. I believe it was God's doing as the cancelled meeting allowed me more time to stay back and mingle. I met many international students from all over the world. Most of them doing their MSc. I also met a post-PHD student from Singapore. The few of us proceeded to lunch after our coffee where we continued with small talk and also discussed about our projects. After lunch, this post-PHD student was kind enough to invite me into his research lab where he showed me the FYP he did for undergrad. It was great as I had the chance to analyze how a project should be written and general areas that should be covered. He also provided pointers and shed some light upon certain areas of uncertainty.

I left the research lab bubbling with so much enthusiasm. It's hard to explain what came upon me - all i can say is it was like I was recharged+re-energized+renewed. Enthusiasm that had been diminishing due to the numerous hurdles encountered during the past 2 months was instantly replenished. I am extremely grateful for this, it was a miracle like no other...everything just clicked.

Thank God for this amazing day. Right now, I'm driven.
