Hi, I am Lina. I am just a typical girl chasing for her diploma with an average GPA. I write to express. I write at the most random times. I've been experiencing so many ups and downs and I am turning 19 years old on the 9th of April. ps: my grammar can kill.

Dreams

Hello! 

I think it's just the late night thoughts and the after effect of drinking two cans of coffee that made me want to write a post tonight!

It would not be an ordinary post that I usually share about how my days went or how sad am I or how happy am I.

I'll be sharing my dreams.

I am girl that has big dreams since I was little. I always wanted to be a leader and I made it - became a prefect when I was 9 years old and I was appointed as a President for a Student Council when I was 15.

Now, I finally see that I have a much bigger dream. It seemed achievable (really), well because of where I am standing right now. But only He knows whether I am able to achieve it (of course with hard work and determination too)

I am 18 years old now and I want to...

1. Be and look fit *smirks* 

Yeah, it is quite funny huh? I've actually started going to the gym last year - Dec 2015. Yeah, due to the heartbreaks, I distracted myself as much as possible by just squatting. Going to the gym is pretty fun especially when you challenged yourself to go over your limit. Despite my small body, I am not able to carry at least 12 kg each for my squats now. I am aiming for over than 20 kg *winks*

Honestly, I still do not really know what I want out of these heavy work outs - well maybe I just want to aim to be able to do it OR maybe I want to have a nice looking... glutes, quads, back, biceps...See? I still do not know which one I should really aim for...maybe everything?

I may consider to start power lifting and who knows I challenge myself in a mini competition? Just for a little experience?

If you're wondering who inspired me...well I was inspired by a few friends especially Tyeisha :-)

This is Tyei, rough but great friend and she also go to the gym ;-) / This picture was taken when we first worked together! 
She has been there, always reminding me to go to the gym whenever I am sad. She do not mind listening to my 'achievements' I've made so far and she...she just motivates. Thank you, man!

Besides that, since holidays have started, I think I'll just occupy my time with going to the gym (hopefully I get a job soon too though).

So, yeah. Briefly, this is my first goal, not a goal for 2016 but... something I want to work on for years - make it an interest, and find a partner with the same interest too ;-)

2. Get really good grades and enter Monash University or La Trobe University

That is a pretty tough goal to aim but I got to try.

I never knew what I want to do since I was sitting for O levels. I knew my grades would not be top notch. My grades were never excellent or a good pass. But let's look forward and change my 'old self.'

Year 1 in Polytechnic hasn't been easy besides the friends and fun, I was struggling to chase for that A with not enough effort. (LOL IRONY)

Anyways, I think that I should maximise my effort in Year 2 (hmm, final GPA for Year 1 have yet to release yet so...) but I mean, just a pass in GPA should never be something that I want to aim.

I should not stop at Diploma. I mean, look at Singapore now, diploma holders might not have the brightest future. Bachelor of Outdoor Education in La Trobe University maybe? Insya Allah. 

Let me dream. Let me try. Let me achieve.

Let's end it with a quote :-)
