29th February

This date will go down in history as the day L became a mermaid... HAHAHAHA!!!! Details shall be spared here as if L finds out that I blogged about this, she'd seriously have my head.

Muahahaha!!!!!

Our mermaid!!!

Hahahaha!!!

Anyways, L and I came back from bootcamp from hell. Gosh, I can't believe I actually wanted to choose this as a career path. You know how sometimes you walk in somewhere and even though you have wanted this for a long time, at that very moment you realise that you actually DON'T want it at all? That's how I felt. I seriously looked around me and asked myself, why did I get myself in this? Why? Why?? WHY???

But being the person that I am, I stuck through it till the end and when I got the results I was surprisingly relieved. I thought that I would have been more disappointed and had even expected myself to sink into depression. But I didn't. All I could think of was thank god this ordeal is over. L and I looked at each other and grinned, thinking the same thoughts.

It's over!!!

I only had to waste one day of my life on something that could have been 30 years of my life.

Something that is obviously so wrong for me.

Thank goodness!!

The one person more happy than me at the moment is my dad! He was always trying to change my mind about the whole idea, but gave in when I was so determined. He helped me prepare myself, giving me the support that only a dad can give even when his heart hurts at the thought of me wanting to do something he never wanted for me. And seeing him beaming with joy only reaffirmed that I had not lost anything. I had gained so much more from that one experience.

Remember how I said that I wanted a sense of direction in life? Today I feel like I got that sense of direction. I know now what suits me most. And surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly after all) it was the one thing that I had spent so many years running away from. This is the right path for me after all.

Things sure have a funny way of working out, huh?
