Gaming again?

Oh no. No more phoenix wright = goes back to lame games.

Hexic + Magic Pen = Stares @ computer and spoils my eyesight.

No good.

On the other hand, I got a shift on Sat! Though, I recall that I'm meant to train on weekdays. Haha, don't care la. I want a shift and I'll get it =p

Got a phone interview earlier as well. My answers were pretty standard. Don't think I'll stand out amongst the other 60 potential applicants vying for the pathetic 10 positions for being a game consultant! Darn. Got to improve my impromptu speeches and thoughts. I SHOULD start talking to people seriously.

333-302 Lecture lasted for 1h50 mins according to my recording but with no breaks in between! I almost died during the last 10-20 mins as i struggled to focus (despite finishing a double size Extra Nutty Snickers Bar during the 50th-55th minute!)

Stop wasting precious time! But studies are so boring.. where did my motivation fly to?

Untraceable

CT05 in the morning was good as we learnt more about WL policies and their relevant formulas. The lecture in the afternoon was more of probability and statistics which promptly put me to sleep! Much of which was covered in year 1's maths A and applied maths. Quite obvious where my interest lies. Now I know what they mean by "choose actuarial studies only if you EAT, SLEEP and DREAM maths"

Wasted many hours as i reached home by 1:15pm with no other lectures to go to. Nothing to do, no one to talk to. Sworn off gaming. Boredom.

Browsed through some unwatched movies that I have stored up and found "Untraceable".

SUPER GOOD show! A bit of a sicko show though. Main plot is "Kill with me" via the internet. The more people who choose to tune in to the online broadcasting, the faster the person being captured would be killed. The dilemma between looking for the help of the community and the unfortunate assist in bringing the website to attention.

Been trying to do my tutorials but I think I overestimate my ability. Do I really need to wait until the end of the week for my lectures to cover before I can do so? Darn.

work or OCF? Priorities

No shifts from work so far. When I do get it, it just HAS to fall on a Friday when there's enite @ OCF. If I didn't commit to cooking/playing the flute/inviting friends, I MIGHT have taken up that precious shift. But I didn't. Darn. Give me another time aside from FRIDAYS! Come on!

ow ow ow!!

Overexerted myself, i believe.

A suggestion by Lai-dia to log the amount of exercise i did. Feeling lazy to do this elsewhere so bear with me while i be self centred and just jot it down here.

First consistent exercise in a long time started on Saturday.

Dr Dot came down to melbourne and a few of us went for a Hip Hop class in east richmond @ the dance factory which ms Dot claims to have trained the people in Mamma Mia. However, the class I went for was both expensive ($18!!) and not all that professional.

First fault: Warm-up. Granted that the time available was short (1hr) but he has some weird stretching exercises [like, facing front and moving your head left, right, left, right according to some rhythm] XXXXX so wrong! it should be just tilting your head in a direction (say, left), hold it for a few seconds before doing the same in the other direction!

2nd Fault: Not so clear instructions. He simply does most actions without explaining too much. Perhaps I'm quite used to that in uni, where they explain quite slowly, left hand, right leg kind of thing. He just used the rhythm to emphasize the action's timing without much elaboration!

The plan to surf @ torquay was cancelled as we were all fearing the cold (and the total numbness).

So, instead, we ended up going to Dot's club house to gym (did rowing and abit of weights before being pulled to.. swim..)

Sunday, meant to play bball after service. The wet weather meant that the guys playing ended up more with a "skating" sport than a "running around to catch the ball" sport as they slid from one end of the court to the other.

Took some time before Adeline decided to go to Princes Park for a jog. Joined her for one round and did abit of stretching from wushu while she played frisbee!


Monday - jogged 1.5 rounds @ Flagstaff gardens

Today - jogged 1 round around Princes Park before Lydia joined me for a 2nd round. Cooled down in btw.

During my first round, despite my slow pace (which helped me run about 3.1+km in 24 mins) I could feel my heart pounding hard against my ribcage! =x Weirdly, when I ran with Lydia (which started out faster) I didn't have any problems with a fast heart rate.

After which, had breakfast with her before meeting Charis in the gym to do a bit of gym weight lifting. For once, i could feel my LEFT side working hard. Usually I get the feeling that my right side overexerts to compensate for the lack of strength in my left. so yay!

Chatted a while before going for wushu. So many new people, probably just coming for a free trial lesson. =p It was hard to do the kicks and the stretches today because of the pain exerting from my limbs.. =x Got to perfect my xiao liu he abit more though =) Skipping much of the spin kicks, cart wheels and jump kicks due to my ankle.

current ow ow ow refers to my left ankle (sprained many times before), my right thigh, and my left calves!! Hope i can recover in time to do a jog after lectures tomorrow.

I'm nuts. Today was really just a sports day. =)

First day of the last sem

First day of Uni of the last semester springs 3 lectures with 1 lecturer.

3 hours of the same lecturer seems daunting to some but I guess I didn't mind because he was one of the best =) Deemed as one who sets super hard questions in exams, he was also my lecturer last semester whose subject was the only one where i didn't get just a P.

This does not, however, cure me of my falling asleep in lectures problem =x Perhaps before going for classes, i'll need to induce myself with caffeine, not from coffee (totally detest) but from chocolate =)

Trying to be more healthy this semester. Waking up early to EAT breakfast (goat cheese with prata bread and milo), attempt to make sandwiches for lunch, and perhaps more sandwiches for dinner. =x Probably depending on whether I have to work or go for wushu, or go for OCF.

Jogging schedule seems okay if I dont have work. Maybe after classes. However, I failed to allocate time to study it seems! haha.

Currently my schedule for the evenings is quite screwed up. Especially when I feel obligated to be 'on call' for my casual job of which i have yet to start a single shift. Ideally, this MIGHT be my schedule: BSF mon, WUSHU tues, WORK wed, WORK thu, OCF fri, WORK sat, CHURCH sun.

I'm not sure if I should commit myself to BSF (Bible study fellowship). It feels daunting, but it's actually a good source to study the bible. Just that sometimes i feel very shallow when i share my points when compared to others though this is not the main concern that i should be worried over. Yet as a human being, I tend to still be super subconscious about this. I guess I should just continue and see if God shows me a different direction. Pray God that you would help me prioritise my life in a way pleasing to you.

Ending hols..

It's been an eventful holiday this break! =)

Immediately after exams,

i) Adelaide trip
ii) July Camp

iv) Surfing lessons (yet to be done)

In between these, managed to do

ii) watch 2 movies in the cinemas in 2 days (and one @ home on the 2nd day)
a) Get smart
b) Mamma Mia
iii) Lazer Wars with Wushu People
iv) go for morning (actually afternoon) jogs [only one successful one though]
v) finish my lawyer game up to the 4th game 4th case
vi) get a job (though officially I have not been offered shifts yet)
vii) play loads of bball
viii) twist my ankle
viiii) get bitten by mozzi in WINTER
x) play loads of fun poker with (mahjong) chips! [super addictive, mind you]
xi) play 3 ppl mahjong!

The only thing i have yet to do, is to actually think of my options of what to do after i graduate .. haha, maybe after ive surfed this weekend.. Hmmm

Sprained

Mini Dilemma now. I have a sprained ankle and a choice to make. To ski or to give that up and work instead.

GAME OVER

Passing

Yes!! I actually managed to pass! Oh wow. Really Thank God!

But it's really a borderline pass. Not that I'm complaining much. But practically, this, i suppose, is meant to make me wonder if i should continue with actuarial or not. Yes, i know it's so close. BUT, what's the use of continuing if i get super low marks and others with their nice finance/accounting degree go up to the employer with straight H1s (which i probably can't get even if i tried the same thing)

Decisions decisions.

just a little pix to keep my sanity

note: he's actually pulling on my sleeve.

"be good"

The most common phrase spoken to me.

Does that mean something? I'm never good? I'm good only when reminded? Do I always get into trouble? Do I always screw up?

I guess it's more of the 'I still act childish no matter what age I hit' mentality that I reflect onto others that gives me such remarks to work upon.


I'm actually tired of it all. This selfishness. This 'having to think for others'. Everything that contradicts.

My problem? Extremeness. It's hard to do one thing as well as the other. Yet at the same time, if I'm not multitasking (eg when watching shows I NEED to be playing free cell simultaneously) I feel kind of bored and weird. Confused? So am I.


Is it that time already? Time to grow up? I've always been meaning to get down to that, but laziness has always prompted me not to.

How to tell people treat u like a kid?

1) When what you say slides off and doesn't re-surface even though you are proven right
2) When people treat you as annoying and pass you on to someone else only to be passed back to the same person again
3) When people just ignore you

It's not as if I really have an opinion to share, because I don't think my opinion really matters. As Annie from Nanny diaries acts, I too, enjoy observing the cultures and somehow sink too deep into them. Not that I adopt all their ways but I do pick up such that whatever I say, were once part of others words, never my own original piece of work.
