8 May 2009 officially marked the end of my second year in NUS and the start of the final long school vacation if I decide not to do honours year. Anyways it has been a very busy sem with the increased workload as compared to the previous sems. But still, I am glad I was able to pull through everything at the end of the day. At the same time, I've also known a lot more friends this sem in particular, through lects, tutorials, friends' friends and of course not forgetting the ultra fun bunch of fellow bus tour guiders from NUS Open House '09!
However, in the midst of having such an exciting uni life, there were times when I truly wonder to myself if I've made the right decision of entering a local uni. I could have taken the shorter route of studying in Australia. Otherwise I could have opt for a private uni degree and yet earn more money through a day job. Tough i know, but it saves a lot more time. School's forever about that chase for a paper qualifications. Everyone wants to get that As and I'm happy if I can do well for a module. But I dont think good grades are all that important. There's always something more than a nice-looking scroll that you will bring away from the education you received.
Alright enough of random thoughts for now. Its the 3 months break and I have absolutely nothing on my to-do list other than reporting for work next Tuesday. I'm bored, restless and very confused about something. Something very important but yet extremely complicated.
We belong to three different worlds - Your world, my world and the ideal world.

So that basically marks the end of all the assignments due this semester.
It's a pretty tough journey with all the really challenging higher level mods.
And now there's the Big "E" to worry about before hitting the long long long "break".
Yeah just a gentle reminder to myself that its back to the formal wear again right after my last paper.
Work starts on 11 May 2009.

With facebook getting so popular nowadays, there are some things I will not want to mention there since a lot of people might read it. Somehow the very space that I have been neglecting so much is now the only channel where I can (somewhat) speak freely and not care about who reads this a not.
I know, i know... that it might just be the time to move.

No more 7hrs break =)

In any case, this will probably be my second last sem (if im going to 100% drop the idea of spending another year to do honours). So far all has been good with making a lot more new friends and getting along quite well with them. But its quite sad that I might be graduating soon now that I got the chance to know them better.
Ok this is sounding like a really boring post cos I also have no idea what to write.
Happy Chinese New Year people! Hope it'll be a good year ahead. =)

Back to my notes. =(

I think I am giving myself too much stress. It's not so much of pressuring myself to get good grades cos seriously, grades doesnt matter much to me in uni now as long as I pass. It's more of like pushing myself too hard to get things done and having too much burden and responsibilities falling on me, alone.
This is no good at all.
- Mood: drained
I seriously dont know how am I going to do it, but I will psycho myself (again) that I will survive the 5
In any case, its the recess week again, which means I have survived 6 weeks of school since the sem started. On the flipside, it simply means there's another about 6-7 weeks of school before I hit the Big E again - EXAMS. Putting that aside, for one of the very rare times, I actually feel fortunate being a student. With many well-known companies (quite a few within the past few years) that are facing the fate of closing down or management issues, I do fear about my own job prospects in the future when I grad. Worse still, it doesnt help that Im expected to step foot into the m***a industry soon, where
Oh Great. I better start buying more TOTO now and pray that I'll be the next millionaire. If that happens, I'll open my own company and employ all my mcm friends. The only issue is they'll still be paid peanuts but I'll be a very nice boss.
HUAT LA!

crazy

I'm home on a Saturday night.
It's nothing new to me to be stuck at home when many others would be out partying the weekends away. I mean, hello... we are talking about Say Wee here, the self-proclaimed boring guy. Yeah right. On the contrary, I've been practically out for the past few weekends "loithering" along the streets of Orchard doing... seriously I also dont really know what I was doing. Anyways I think I've digressed too much. The point that I am trying to bring across here is I am leading such an aimless life for as long as I cam remember. It's really making me feel so "pek cek".
But yet again, I have to argue that I do have many goals in life. It's just that somehow along the way, these goals became rather "unrealistic" or "unachieveable" for one reason or another. Some people always say "Dare to dream and reach for the shining stars",and I say this is bullshit.
On an entirely different note, I feel so damn stupid now because I seem to have too much "wishful thinking" on my side. After going through so much trouble, what I got back was only ... on wells forget about it. It wont help whining here. In any case, I seriously think I have a problem. I find it hard to find a friend who I can go to when I need to talk, or someone to go out with me when I dont feel like staying at home.
See, that is why I'm now sitting in front of my laptop on a Saturday night.

Really nothing at all.

confused
That is why it's tough being nice.
I've been working for almost one month by now. Though some of the people that I'm familiar with have left, the new colleagues are a bunch of fun-loving people and work can be conisdered very much bearable with them around. Work responsibilities wise is a lot heavier compared to last time. Of course, the workload must more or less justify the amount of money that I am getting. So i shouldnt whine much about that. But then again, it's quite fun when you get to talk to people from different countries and know how different industries or countries work. On the good side, it's a good chance for me to really learn how to write a good resume that is short, sweet and straight to the point. I mean like seriously, if I have to read like so many resumes per day, it is really tiring for me to read from start to end. Therefore, key words are very very very important.
On the other hand, I just got news that modules bidding will start end of next month. Though its still like quite far away, it is still a good reminder to me that i should really plan my modules properly and if possible, get a 3 or 3.5 days week! Last sem's timetable is quite a bit of a screw up though. No free days, or stupid free slots that clashes with everyone's timetable and me ending up having lunch alone sometimes.
Alright, work or sch, it doesnt matter. I have more urgent issues to attend to for now.
Edited:
I just got a pretty interesting suggestion from a friend. As a matter of fact, I am seriously considering her "proposal". LOL!
- Mood: exhausted
alright, this is it. It has to end soon.
Say Wee, be focused.
And to the other you, why do you always have to be so secretive? I have no right to change your behaviour but I do see a need to step in when it's affecting me.
Yes you two can just jolly well hop off to your little corner and be lovey dovey.
Just leave me alone.
- Mood: annoyed
I dont like it when people doesnt reply smses/calls when there is a need to.
