STUDY!!!

Argh~ have been procrastinating on my self-studies recently...need to buck up!

Have a lecture tomorrow morning and the notes arent even printed, much less read... >.>''

Focus ah WK! =O

Sometimes being right is not that important.

Was playing bball earlier on and I called for a foul made onto myself, by W. I was really surprised he insisted there was no contact. I'm 95% sure I felt someone smack my right wrist area, but I didn't rebut his claim.

Sometimes one has to be reminded that being right is not as fulfilling as maintaining great friendships.

So I kept quiet and let it go.

I don't think he's weasel-ing his way out of a foul, but neither do I think I'm mistaken.. But does it really matter..?

But I love such life lessons, it keeps me grounded and allows me to learn to be a better person =]

Anyway, I just came back from a short trip in malacca. Weekend well spent, with great company and exuberant atmosphere! ^^

Bought a bag, t shirt and shades. I read somewhere that being relevant(fashion-wise, in this context) is key in getting a good first impression. I'm not a fan of being superficial, but I guess following the flow of such trends would be a wise move =]
(The stuff I bought are considered as cheap deals if converted into SG dollars anyway 😁)

There was a huge discussion and much were revealed. I just hope the parties involved are ready for the worst scenario.
And I'm glad Y didn't have to break a promise made. Promises are super vital in proving that one can be a reliable source of comfort and secrets-keeper. I learnt this the hard way :/

Moving on, aloy is gonna ORD soon liao! Time really flies, I can still vividly remember the day when he came into our office lol~ Justin + kw + myself psycho-ing him about the fact that his upper study is actually a monstrous octopus in disguise. Fun times HAHA! I guess the frequency of office visits will soon decrease, and such is life :S

Feeling so nostalgic now. Sigh. Sometimes I wish I could travel back in time and change some of my decisions made. But obviously I can't, and I'm slightly regretful.. :/

CNY is coming and I splurged almost $300 on new year clothes. I need to work ah~

Pretty much stopped relying on my folks for cash nowadays. In fact, pretty much stopped relying on them for anything. Relationships are not as close as in the past, but I don't think it would ever be the same again. Sometimes I think I'm being a little petty, but when I think of the bad times I had without support when I most needed it, the guilt disappears into thin air. Mostly.

L's issues have not been improving at all. In fact it seems to have worsened...
I just hope he can find the courage, wisdom and determination to move on..

School has started and I haven't really put in as much effort as I would have likes. Must study tmr liao la~

And I couldn't make a trip down to GPF last weekend, I die die must walk Daryl this coming weekend before he slips back into his old demanding self again..

Aaand it's 3 in the morning. Gah, there goes my sleep-earlier plans. Sigh.

Till next time!

Good times ^.^

Went on a super last min shopping outing with the bball peeps just afew days ago and bought myself afew pairs of shirts, a chinos pants and a pair of shoes. Kaching~ 260 bucks disappeared from my bank account. Melacca trip this weekend, another 250 spent..

I NEED TO EITHER START SAVING UP LIKE CRAZY OR WORK LIKE CRAZY!

Gosh. And I don't even take much allowances from my folks nowadays.

Well I guess my list of goals will not happen anytime soon :/

Anyway, I'm really glad to have regular bball sessions with the peeps. Sometimes we play hard(superbly serious :0) , but most of the time we play just for entertainment sake... Makes Bballing a so much more fun(ny) sport when we don't play too competitively.. ^^

Sucks to sprain my thumb though, on top of the bruised thigh from last week... Must really be careful when playing nowadays, old liao la haha~

But it's all worth it, the shopping and the ball sessions, and i guess the joy that these activities bring is more important than anything else. (Almost..!)

------------------------------------------

Overseas trip this weekend with the office peeps, looking forward to it already! :D

And paiseh GPF, I'll be back in action real soon, 1st feb! =]

At a crossroad

Was lazing around at home after school and work and randomly blog/web surfing when the "what-the-hell-have-you-been-doing-in-your-life" moment hit me.

That got me thinking....

In life its typical for one to struggle to maintain the current lifestyle that one has.

So how can I push myself to achieve the goals that I had hoped for but lack the resources and motivation to do..?

As opposed to what I always tell my friends (especially the animal clique), the social pressure is getting to me. Didn't think I'd ever consider succumbing to this, but the subconscious mind has been bugging me to start on some stuff I should have completed years ago, such as getting a driving license and studying/working harder for better grades/ more income.

And I guess C is right, if I don't start actively searching for the other half, "then wait until 39 meh?"

My thoughts are in disarray.

Anyhow, recently my speaking voice has been on and off, sometimes waking up to a really tired voice. No idea why, but I just hope I can "recover" asap and start working for my moolah properly.

Ironically my singing voice is back...well almost...

Not sure if I should start making a checklist of "To do-s", because I might just end up ignoring/not following the list at all.

Actually, I'd just do it here:

To Do List:
1. Get the bloody computer fixed/get a new computer
2. Driving License
3. Lose weight to 70
4. 1 HD, 2 distinctions this semester
5. Wardrobe revamp
6. Continue volunteering till graduation
7. Actively search!


I just hope I stick to it... >.<

Bahh I've class tomorrow, better catch up on some sleep now...

Millan Fanboy!

Got my second book delivered to my doorstep this morning, and Lo behold, Cesar Milan's book is finally here! Excited me sped read through the entire book in 2 hours or so...

And I immediately thought of the commitment I made. Sigh, I think at this point of writing that I made a bad choice in taking up the job. The zen, calmness and satisfaction I get from volunteering at the shelter significantly outweighs the monetary benefits I get from working the entire weekend..

If not for my friends who wanted to work, no way would I take it up :/

Oh well, one shall not dwell in the misjudgements made in the past.. Lesson learnt and I'll make sure not to commit entire weekends on a whim in the future..

On the bright side, I'm just glad I can help friends make some bucks this time round, and that I value-added myself(even if its a little) in the company.. =]

It's almost 2 in the morning, and I have to be up at 6+ in the morning. Wish me luck in somehow finding enough rest meanwhile... >.<

Sweet dreams people! ^^

Ouch..!

Was just playing ball yesterday and I got knee-ed in the thigh area first game into the night. Didn't think much of it until after the games when the throbbing hit me. Quite a serious one, and now I'm half walking/hobbling to school ._."

Plus the bite wound from daffy/dara is starting to prick.. Gahh~

Oh the irony though, one injury on knee and the other on the thigh where I got KNEE-ED. =S

And I just realised yesterday that I unknowingly committed myself to other activities for 2 full weekends consecutively. That means I won't be visiting GPF 2 weekends in a row, first time this will be happening ever since I started volunteering there. Shall not be so careless next time, as it's a commitment I made to myself till at least I graduate.. I'll miss the furkids :/

I just hope that mr stubborn won't revert to his old ways while I'm not there to reinforce it.. :/

Bo bian ah, sometimes in the world of practicalism, money wins the war against lofty dreams and happiness..

Aiya for now, shall not think so much and focus on the lecture notes in front of me lol.. Study study study!

TGIF indeed!

Its been a great day so far, and its already 5pm! First up, this came in:

Only took 1 week to deliver after I ordered online in amazon.com! Always a fan boy of Cesar Millan, I agree with him that the words "dominance" and "control" are often associated with negative connotations. People need to see that Dominance can also mean guidance and direction, whereas control is just another word for say, a parent stopping a kid from eating too much sweets or something.

Anyway, im already immersing myself into the world of millan and i hope to glean some additional info that I didnt manage to catch or understand from his dog whisperer shows and his random youtube videos. Cool stuff!

Next up, I managed to motivate myself to work with friends during a weekend that I usually would spend at the dog shelter. Of course, this means giving up on my commitment to GPF for that weekend. No choice la, money is required nowadays and I need to prioritise...

Thirdly, I'm still keeping up with Commercial Law, much to my surprise! Super lot of readings to be done and understood, I'm glad I can keep up with the pace (even if its only for now!). Did afew hours of reading yesterday and today..yay~!

Lastly, I'm just glad of my own progress these few months. Looking back, its been really quite tough as I had to juggle quite afew important aspects of my life. I've made new friends in both school and GPF, maintained and cherished the current ones, did okay for first sem of school, (could be better, but wtheck) managed my finances decently, what else can I complain about? =]

Anyway, gotta rush to school now... till next time!

Thanks for the feedback, I'm grateful and humbled!

1 week of 2013 has passed. I've been pretty passive about things this year(I hope), and being more open with myself about my short-comings.

It's been great so far. Truth or truth(dare) sessions with most of my cliques of close friends has been quite rewarding, if not entertaining LOL!

I'd just like all of you to know that I've really heard your concerns regarding certain areas about myself that all of you have mentioned and I've taken your inputs seriously into consideration and I'm hoping I can change for the better based on them =]

To C: Your input's too "cheem" for me! I'm not sure if I got it right, but if I did, I'd make sure our future correspondences would be....carried out swiftly.. =P

To M: I actually have goals in life! I'm just kinda worried that I can't keep up with myself and hence I don't voice out the full extent of what I'm really hoping for. I don't wanna disappoint everyone and myself.. =/
Of course you can always ask me if you're interested haha..

To L: You should have been there =/

To M2: Even though I've always been putting you down (jokingly of course!!), its been my pleasure to have known you and thanks for the reminder about life in general. I see alot of me in you, and I'm glad to be able to learn from your strengths and help you out in your weaknesses.

To J: This would be my feedback to you. Please do read through everyone's inputs and try to see things from different angles/point of views, you might just understand why people react the way they did/do. And yes, we're still friends lol~

To B clique: Sorry I can't be as thorough as I did to the above people, but I'd like to let you peeps know that it's been really fun that night HAHA!

To P clique: Let's meetup soon please! It's been fun talking about old times haha =D


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moving on, school's starting soon and I need to buck up to close the GPA gap..! Gonna study after this post so I won't feel so guilty wasting too much time hahaha~

My singing's been really rocky recently... on off on off. I'm not sure what to do, cause I apparently can't stick to resting much...sigh...how ahhh~~

I don't like ending posts on a negative note, so I'm glad to have stuck around GPF! The atmosphere and people feels right, and yesterday was the first time I went out to dinner with the regulars. They're really jovial people with lots of life experiences, and I'm really really glad to have been there!

I guess it can't really go wrong, when we're all there for a common cause and passion.  =]

PS: To the 2 people who are probably sniggering, DON'T THINK TOO MUCH! >.>''

Till next time!

2013!

It's yet another new year~

Usually I make new year resolutions but this year it's gonna be more of the journey rather than the destination(or objective).

My hopes of singing has recently been revived as somehow my condition has weirdly improved. Absolutely no idea why. I'll just go with the flow I guess!

This year I hope to start on 2 things I was supposed to do years ago, we'll see how it goes. No objectives are to be met, but I do need to make a conscious effort!

I'm glad to have fallen back on my "lost" passion recently when I was feeling down. Thanks Daryl and the rest of the fur kids (though they obviously can't read HAHA) , for showing me the results of sticking to commitments! I will continue to watch and learn!

And since I'm paying for my education, I will be sure to put in more effort in scoring for this sem's modules, to pull up my GPA~

I think I've been doing my part in organising and participating in friends meet up in 2012, but nevertheless I will continue to do so in this coming year =]

I'll make sure to spend more time with granny this year, and make up with "her" sooner or later, once I've cleared my own short term goal..

Gambatte-yo mina san!
