It has been 4 months since I graduated and my bank account is depleting as you read this.
I have been freelancing here and there (meaning : whenever someone is willing to hire me) and the fruits of my labor has been able to pay the bills, but still no full time job.
I guess in a way I'm still pretty clueless as to what I want to do.
I'm stuck between "Let what you love be what you do" and "I really need money because I'm starving and I want to get a dog".
My intuition has guided me in a couple of directions that I am going to pursue but I don't have a singular goal at the moment.
I dread answering the "So what are you doing now?", "Found a job yet?", "Start work already ah?" questions.
So unless you want to hear me go on a full on hippie rant about my current state, I suggest you avoid such questions.
If anything, I can say that I'm at peace with myself now.
But don't confuse my peace for contentment.
I'll find my way eventually.

I came up with Thought of The Day ( TOTD for short) in 2010. It was because I had in hand a bundle of inspirational photos and quotes that I wanted to share with the world, and at that time, have not been introduced to Tumblr .Oh by the way, check out my tumblr here! (I have no shame in promoting myself). As I posted more TOTD's ,I realized that people were actually enjoying it, thus i kept going ,right till today..... 
Two post in 2 days. I'm on a roll!
Be Right Back,
Sabrina

(I have no shame in promoting myself). As I posted more TOTD's ,I realized that people were actually enjoying it, thus i kept going ,right till today.....  The most recent risk I can remember taking was trying out for a Cheer Elite Team. I was scared and pretty unsure if it was the right thing to do because I started late as a cheerleader which meant that I was elder than most of the girls there. Also, I was still new to the city so intimidation crept in. I got all they way to the gym only to chicken out at the very last minute. A good pep talk and some assuring did me well as I made my way to the gym, trying to be as invisible as I could. I had to admit that during the first few minutes, I felt horrible. Like I did not fit in at all. It was like most of the cheerleaders knew each other before hand and I was the ugly-duckling there. After some self sulking , I realized that it didn't really matter if I sucked, chances were, I was never going to meet any of the people there again. So I shook of the dust , and started to make friends. It ended bitter-sweetly. I made the team! :) But it looks like I won't be able to continue on in the team for the time being. We'll see what the future brings! I'm really hoping to get back into cheering.
remember to take risks this week!
Be Right Back,
Sabrina.

I realize that a handful of students at uni are contended with meeting the passing grade. A's ,B's and C's are around for a reason. Don't sweep them by. Don't stay contended.Keep pushing yourself to aim for higher grade every semester. Dominate!
Be Right Back,

Hello!
after a superduperwuper long hiatus, I have enough in my little gray matter for a complete post.
Honestly I have tried to update this blog in the past but I could never
seem to finish them. I have a handful of half written post saved up as
drafts.
I thought that I would have lost a bunch of followers due to my lack of updates but you all proved to have a heart of gold.
Here is a brief (i'll try) update of everything.
My pursuit for passion has came to an end.
Well, I don't think you can ever say that you're ending your search for passion because I believe your passion can change as you grow, but for now, I have found what I need and am contented.
I'm sorry that I could not write more about my journey. I realized slowly that my journey wasn't as simple as I thought it'd be. If summarized, it would be some what like an old rain forest tree, some branches leading to flowers (do they even bear flowers?) but most leading to well, nothing.
Those following my pursuit for passion would know that the sole purpose of this soul searching was to get an idea of what I wanted to major in. If you are a friend on Facebook (note: this is not an open invitation for you to add me), you would also know that I got accepted into uni.
I'll be pursuing my Honors in International Business soon. Please don't ask if it is the right decision.In the end of my pursuits, I was left indecisive between following my heart and my brains. I chose the most practical of the two and I still question my decision everyday. The only assurance I hang onto now is knowing that my God will direct my path.
Okay, on a more cheerier note,
If you like me sooo much that you can't stand waiting another month for an update (jks.) you can now find me elsewhere as well :)
I am now a monthly contributor for I.M Magazine .
You'll be able to find 1 or 2 articles from me every month. In fact (and i say this with pride), Dear Erin has been published in the June issue of the mag. So pick up a copy whenever you stumble upon it.
Also, I have my own online store now.
It's not exactly new but I wanted it to run stably first before publicizing it on my blog. Later so embarrassing right, publicize a fail online store (-.-) We specialize in accessories but we stock up on stationery once in a while. So please please please check us out here (click) (CLICCCCKKK!!!) (thank you)
My tumblr is still running.
Quite embarrassingly, I've fallen into the group of bloggers who swore to continue updating their blog after they got themselves a tumblr account but failed to deliver. Okay lah, I admit, tumblring is way more chio than blogging okay? No need to type long long all. And you get all your material from other people, no need to think. All you do is reblog from other blogs. (Please follow me on tumblr too . super despo attempt in publicity)
Oh I just reread the entire paragraph above and realized that I sounded super chinese. I have been on Xia Xue and Qiu Qiu way too much.
And if you REAAALLY can't get enough of me
(though this would be rather scary actually. Please don't resort to this)
You can google "Sabrina Chan Star Metro Perak" because that's right, I interned for The Star as well ! Okay, no need to google, I'm so nice that I googled it for you already and all you need to do is to click it. (okay being super despo already)
So yes. My brief post isn't that brief after all.
I shall leave you with a Thought of the day.
Have a lovely week.
Love each other
Be Right Back (say only),

Found on Tumblr  Meet Irena Sendler (1910-2008) She was a 98 year-old Polish woman at her time of death. During World War II, Irena worked in the Warsaw Ghetto as a plumbing/sewer specialist. She dedicated herself to smuggle Jewish children out. Infants were carried in the bottom of the tool box she used and older children in a burlap sack she had in the back of her truck. She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids’ and infants’ noises. Irena managed to smuggle out and save 2500 children during this time She eventually was caught and the Nazis broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and in a glass jar buried under a tree in her backyard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and reunited some of the families but most had been killed. She then helped those children get placement into foster family homes or adopted. In 2007, Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Surround yourself with people that are important. Invest in getting to know them. Even if they are no longer around. Be Right Back, Sabrina. Labels: thought of the day 0 lovely comments ✿
When was the last time you thought of something that was genuinely your own? I realized for myself that I usually get most of my "own" ideas when I'm Like just know while sweeping the front yard I was pondering on why people would sacrifice so much just to attend a wedding. People would miss work, buy air tickets, get an expensive dress, travel 100 of miles ,just to attend a wedding. I think its because that each of us has this quiet but strong longing to be a part of something beautiful that connects people together, something that we all jump in whenever given the opportunity to be part of. So that's my take. What about you? What unique thought have you had today? Love,

 Hello again after another long hiatus. Do accept my apologies , its my last semester in college before graduating and I'm such a procrastinator! So much things to do! 2 more weeks to be done with college. I'm really excited. Can't wait to see what the Lord has installed for me. At the moment I'm feeling very grateful. I have such an adventure planned after my graduation I can't wait to share my journey with all of you :) But aaah, then where's the surprise eh? Give me a week or two, to settle whatever that needs to be done. Then I'll be back blogging again :) Love, Sabrina Labels: college, me, thought of the day 0 lovely comments ✿

 Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find Me. When you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile." I'm coming back to you Lord. Love, Sabrina Labels: thought of the day 0 lovely comments ✿
