Before i start repeating myself too often,
i'm getting stressed. or at least i say this and end up talking non stop on msn again.
I'm supposed to at least read through the case study (this week's one is real sciency! hope the one i'm supposed to present is not) by tonight. Have to practise many times to perfect the presentation! i might even postpone plans to go to witness pairing! =x
Everyone's getting stressed though. With the approaching of enite. I was excited till the presentation problem. Now i hope there's time to juggle. It's amazing how the power of procrastination still lingers despite fears.
Contemplated between jogging and staying home to rot and stress, obviously, jogging won. Upon arriving home though, somehow the water supply got cut! refused to ask the neighbours if they had the same problem and my solution of waiting till it returns worked! =p haha!

Social social
Sociable or Anti-Social? Friendship are easy to make but hard to continue
My peers in Singapore especially in secondary school might feel that i'm quite AS yet friendly to my juniors.
My friends in trinity shall forever perceive me as the energiser bunny, super high, super social.
My friends in uni.. well, it's not easy talking to the group of ppl.. the actuarists.
People in OCF are easier to talk to.. though not all.
I used to talk freely to people, getting to know them, getting their phone numbers and msn emails. Often adding and attempting to connect with them online, a much easier job than talking face to face.
But the problem is this, they take their own sweet time to be online (some never seen online at all) then i forget all about them.. numbers to be untouched and emails never to be used.
some weird stories:
- met this girl in an event. Got her email and phone number. Halfway when typing her number in my phonebook, her name actually popped up! Absentmindedly thinking that i might have already put her number down earlier, i ignored the sign. Proceeding to add her on msn, i wondered why i just couldn't seem to put her in the particular grouping in msn. Frustrated, i searched through each group. i found her exact email there too! had met her like 2 - 3 years before at a dance club and we've basically never really spoken much otherwise! amazing!
- talked to this other girl online .. asked her how her research went and all.. super friendly right... but one day i didn't expect her to come for welcome night and i was wondering who she was.. goodness. super paiseh to find out that it was her!
btw, learnt to play CS on wednesday. Whahaa.
randomness. shall learn to link things together. dang. i have to learn to stop triumphing my own partner. too excited already. haha. here's a good advice. "when in doubt, just triumph".
1st Skype call in ages (inspired by Charis' prim and proper chat) mine felt real rough and rugged (like how my mum described my voice). "spend ur time wisely - last year already. finish ur degree before u plan what you want to do" dang. it's terrible to be lost without a direction. God, guide me won't you?

Aching body. (feeling almost.. old)
Focus. Focus.
That's what i lack at times. The purpose. The drive.
Taking up Wushu has enabled me to take up a form of discipline where i might be able to direct some focus to.
Earlier in the year, i had planned to join many different clubs: from overseas christian fellowship (OCF - a must!), students arising learning to serve (SALTS), city gospel fellowship (CGF) [religion] to Entrepreneur investment club (EIC)[sth commercy] to chinese music group (CMG) , engineering music society (EMS) [music] to tae kwan do [sporty].
By the time i got through first week of uni, i found out that my commitment to OCF meant that SALTS was a no-no, EIC might clash very occassionally (if i wanted a break on fridays), EMS would be an additional thing on top of playing flute in church, tae kwan do.. well, the people weren't that enthusiastic in welcoming us! lol.
Apparently, ppl at wushu's not too bad.. a small welcoming group is good =D But of course, the sacrifice of meeting these nice people is the aches and sores from stretches .. typically, a good match at badminton makes me sore for 1-2 days and i'll be free and happy from those aching feelings. Unfortunately, perhaps i'm not that stretchable (though i'm told by the master that i'm quite - must be some of those flare dance stuff that paid off)
So that's my life in uni outside classes =D
Back to studies in uni, that's where my drive is lacking. =p Having 2 days off uni with no job, no huge commitment (well, at least there's wushu now) means the challenge in starting to do work. So far, failed to complete tuts before classes start. I'll have to kick start myself after this week's tuts.. and catch up soon..
note: here's an interesting thing. 3 friends of mine collaborated and decided that they would take turns to nag me into studying.. how cool is that! haha. great friends.
