Too much?

I wonder if I am trying very hard to kill myself next semester. Yet, I can’t wait for school to start.

My timetable is screwed MAX with no free day, long period of breaks between lessons. Actually I do have one on Mondays, but I slot an ARTS GEM in, so it became no free day. GOON. Anyway, if I take up Muay Thai, I still have to return to school on Monday for it anyway. And so, my screwed to the Max timetable.

As usual, I work during the weekends but I just resigned from JE and so my Saturday evenings from the 20th of Aug will be FREEE! Happy?? Well. No sure. The reason behind the resignation is actually NUStudios. I am SUPER DUPER excited about this CCA! It’s like backstage and film production. COOL MAX!

Till now, that’s 2 CCAs and normal school curriculum. THEN, to make life a little fuller, Yanting and I would be joining on of the volunteer initiative by CSC might be going to MINDSVILLE/IMH :) That falls on a SAT. And so,quitting from JE did not really spare me much free time after all. Well… at least I am doing something I like instead of arguing and getting scolding and black faces from weird doctors.

So now, 3 CCA commitments and normal school curriculum. As you might know, I am trying very hard to be financially independent. So, I have to earn money! By quitting JE on sat I am earning $240 less every month. So, no income, die! Hence, I took up a tuition job. You know, to cover my opp cost lost from resignation. I am suppose to teach the kid on tuesday and friday evenings. Then I am continuing my sunday morning clinic work at MRT. And to make my life more complicated, YT and  signed up for ushers under CFA *faints*. You have to clock 12hours a week. Each session is about 4 hours and that means 3 evenings gone.

I don’t need good maths to know that in a 7 day week, all evenings are burnt.

Mon- Muay Thai, Tues- Tuition, Wed- Ushers (maybe?), Thurs- Tutorial, Fri- Tuition, Sat- Ushering (maybe?), sun- Usher.

I might not get through the interview for ushering because there is a super high probability that I cannot clock the 12hours because events don’t occur everyday!

Then, I still have my academic goals. I have at least 4 projects coming up next sem. I wonder if my grades will plunge, or maybe avalanche. SHRUGS. I hope to improve my CAP for the coming semester to 2nd upper. But with these things at hand, can I juggle my balls well? Is it true that when you have no time, you will start to cherish the time you have? Is it true that because you have too much commitments, you will use your free time to do productive things? I am afraid that I will use my free time to daydream, stone off, watch TV, surf the net and do all those unproductive things other than studying.

Is this too much to cope? I am trying very hard to kill myself, ain’t  I? Is it too much? I hope I can be as happy as that women up there when I start juggling everything. :)

Dilemma

I am sure I posted something along this line around this period last year. The question forever bothering me. Should I quit my work at the clinic. It’s kind of difficult to weigh out the pros and cons of it, the opportunity cost. Well, the pro of course would be an income where you can cover your daily expenses as well as save up some to buy stuff. I do have a goal to reach about the amount of money in my bank account by the end of the year. If I were to quit, if would mean the amount would be shrinking and I wouldn’t reach my goal! My pocket money is barely enough to feed me. Not blaming my parents for the miserable pocket money because I feel Uni is the time your wings grow hard and you should learn to be independent in all ways.

But if I don’t quit, my weekends would be burnt and I thinking next semester is a project semester. It kind of suck if you cannot find a common time for group meetings and I don’t want to be a contributing factor. Afterall, isn’t weekends the better days to meet up from project work? Weekdays seems impossible with the screwed up timetable of everyone. Also, I want to join CCA this sem. Life gets boring if you go to school just for studying and project, I have experienced it last sem and it almost killed me. :(

So Yanting and I has agreed to join NUS CSC and one of their initiatives for a regular volunteering activity and I told her I might join a sports too and NUStage if I get through auditions or even see it in the matric fair :) Then yesterday Kaylene suggested Rovers which I have been wanting to join since last year but no one is interested. IF I join all this, I am not sure if working at the clinic on weekends is feasible. I do have academic goals too.

Hoping to juggle as many balls as I can next semester and it all boils down to time management. Crucial. And I hope with all my might that nothing clashes with anything:) Kindly make my life better. I don’t need friends, all I need is a fulfilling life. Friends come and go (don’t argue, I’ve seen it multiple times) but impact stays forever. Like I posted few weeks ago… that’s why I admire Wayne Lim. :)

Majulah!


So there is this gaga over the national day fun pack song. Finally, I heard the song today on youtube:) So since I am already watching some NDP stuff, I searched for past NDP songs! Bought back alot of memories and I am so glad I still remember those songs. (Home not to say) I even remembered where I belong, we will get there and for one moment I was wondering what is moments of magic. Then… OH! It goes like this, ‘let us celebrate this moments a brand new day await….’ Yipeee!


Then, for some reason, I drifted away from NDP songs and ended up watching this video. It’s kind of old and I am sure alot has seen it before, but I just post for the benefit of those who hasn’t seen it before :)




Well… I wasn’t really joking when I say that I am proud to be a Singaporean. Sometimes I am not because of those doings of Singaporeans, but more often than not, I am proud to be a SINGAPOREAN! :)

TRANSFORMERS

Just came back from the movies! whoo-hoo! Transformers are just nice! and I kind of like the male lead (SAM) as well as the army guy leading the troops (Lennox). Well just in case you don’t know who I am talking about, Sam is the one in the middle of the poster and Lennox is the one on his right, your left :)

I watched it 3D but was terribly disappointed with the effects! it doesn’t really POP out as I expected it to and the things flying around, don’t seems like it’s gonna hit you anyway. Subtitles did pop out really well that it looks kind of disjoint with the movie though. So much for watching an action-packed movie 3D. Well… however, I was sitting in front, the fifth row from the front, maybe the 3D effect isn’t good. If you have gotten a better seat away from the main screen, maybe the effects would be better. Who knows :)

There is always a saying that sequels of a movie usually gets worse. Well. Evident from Spiderman. First and second was superb but what’s with the last one? But I think transformers kind of broke it. The first one is nice, second one is awesome and the third is fantastic other than the part where Megan Foxx is no longer playing in it. I actually prefer Megan Foxx to that new girl.

Well then. Not going to discuss about plots and scenes in the movie here. But recommended. 6 bucks is worth the watch but not 11bucks in 3D. I think the next time I step into a cinema again, it would be HP7. (No. It’s not the computer brand name or it’s new series. LOL)
