Another day of studying... sianz...

I am hoping for the arrival of the 15th (last paper), after which I plan to do everything I had wanted to do for very long...

Checklist of things to do:
- Catch up with friends
- Plan for 2006
- Organise my thoughts
- Go to the beach
- Go to the gym
- Find a roommate
- Clean my room at home
- Relax

There is only one week for me to do all these before everyone else ends their exams. Time is so scarce nowadays... Part of the reason why I am without a girlfriend still.

Many thoughts are running through my head, all of which I am trying to quarantine till after the exams. I have not got the time to sit myself down to consider so many things yet.

Time line of events these 2 years:
ORD>>work at ML Consulting>>work at NKF>>studies + CAC>>work ML Consulting+ CAC>>CAC + studies>>CAC + work at Synovate>>CAC + studies...

Considering my heavy job load during my army days, I haven't really got time to diagnose my well-being and have time for myself for the past 3 years. (Sometimes I really wonder at my stamina.) Everything has gone past in a blur: a flurry of joy and sadness, acquaintances and partings. I need to re-acquaint with myself, to set my pace all over again, and set my priorities right to get going again.

It's my life, and I'll have to plan it to live it my way.

Jeff's birthday celebrations yesterday night was real fun. We had the cake cutting ceremony as per normal, made him drink/eat a rather mild concoction of Mamee, honey, Just Tea, peanut butter and pi pa gao, courtesy of the 2 gals who were there to return Jeff's favour. I could have done better, but the thought of karma prevented me from adding the pet food.

The anarchy started off with a request to pour honey on Jeff. The honey did not stay on him, instead it went all over the place and other ingredients were added in the foray: detergent, shoe polish, etc. A water fight came in for the finale. The 2 worst victims for the night were Hoi and Shimin, who screamed the loudest and retaliated the most. Probably they would have been cleaner if they have just kept still like Danny and let us draw on their faces.

After the 2 birthday celebrations this month, I am quite wary of letting them know about my birthday. Maybe they already know, but I would tell them that I would be overseas. God knows what they would do to me....

Felt really great today: woke up late, did my tutorial for the first time in this semester, got A for my project, got good remarks for my adhoc presentation from the tutor...

Sometimes a little encouragement is all I need to get my engines fired up again. Tis a good day today...

Time to start work on my revisions again...

I must be crazy to think of starting a blog amidst my exams. But here I am writing the first entry of my blog, in my hostel room, after a long battle with my accounting text. I guess blogging could be a stress reliever of sorts. I have never kept a diary before, nor kept memoirs of what I have went through in my life. But I hope that this blog could be the start of some sort of record of what I have done for this period of my life, something others could use to stimulate my memory in the remote probability that I get amnesia or become senile.

To my friends who are reading this, you can all witness what is going through my life on this blog even though we cannot catch up with one another as often as we want to. Certainly hope to meet each of you at least once this coming holidays.

Time is a scarce resource for me as I have to share it among so many responsibilities. Especially this year, after my commitment to hold the presidency of one of the largest clubs in my varsity and my entry into the 2nd year of my studies. Let's hope that my investment holds many returns in more ways than one.

Ok... testing over... gotta go back to continue the battle....
Target: to finish the module and hit the bed before 2am. (Hope I can achieve it....)
