The last 2 months seem to have passed by so quickly. Everyday passed by in a blink of an eye and at times, it felt like I was running an endless marathon. I panted profusely, gasping for breath as time was against me. I prayed that time could just stop for me to catch my breath and to organise the truckloads of stuff that were running through my head at the same time.
However, tough times often bring out the best in people. I have learnt a lot from this experience and honed skills that I would have never been able to do so if all had been smooth sailing.
As I close this chapter, I am looking forward to the next already. Thank you god for giving me this opportunity to grow and learn. =)
