ugh busy busy!

the past few weeks have been absolutely packed with all sorts of activities, none of which were vaguely associated with studying, unfortunately!!

my very ambitious plans for the term would be reduced to dust if i dont arrange a study
plan that accommodates the following:

1)lunch-time job of delivering mail (extra income to pay for the acer aspire one i bought... heh)

2)tennis team practice

3)latin dance practice

4)medical students' committee (treasurer)

hrm. so lets see now..

i shall limit tennis to tues, wed and dance to mon and thurs evening... and every other available time should (preferably) be spent studying :)

lets see how it works out for now!

less msn chat, less facebook surfing, and hah, no world of warcraft!! (AND NO YOUTUBE!)

stay clear of my family FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

look, i dont CARE whatever that you say to your friends, or my friends about me, but you PROMISED that you wouldnt keep in contact with my FAMILY MEMBERS. yet... its so nice to hear that you've been doing just that ALL THE WHILE.

great job. looks like you're really a man of your words.

fiddly dum.

once in awhile, my type A personality rears its ugly head and i get ridiculously competitive over something that is beyond my control. something which, previously, when competition was absent, i didn't really give much thought to.

and now, i am still sitting in the dust of disbelief, watching the clouds of truth settle. i have lost, completely and absolutely. i feel like saying mean things out of spite, but i know i shouldnt. it doesnt amount to anything in the end, anyway - vindictiveness never pays.

but for the life of me i cannot imagine WHY. except that perhaps i lent a helping hand (read: nudge) in that direction some time ago. perhaps i delude myself.

well. its funny though, because while the part of my brain higher up on the evolution ladder evaluated the pros and cons of being, it didnt really seem feasible. yet now, it seemed ridculous, laughable even, that i should even consider otherwise.

yup im definitely going out of my mind. i expect that the whole thing should blow over in a few days or so. then i can go back to my own sweet way of not caring.

air travel

it's funny, waking up in the morning in sunny singapore, having lunch in the hot hawker center, and now, barely 12 hours later, i am back in my school in taiwan, fully unpacked and finishing up the last morsels of my char kway teow lunch. it is faintly unsettling, how FAST travel is nowadays.

in fact, its faster than my brain can attune itself. when you travel on a train, you see the landscape changing and you feel that you are moving from place to place. on the plane, however, you are hustled into a sealed compartment and 4 hours later, voila! you are spat out again on a distant land.

arrgggh. ok i admit i miss home... but what else is new? sigh. as i have said once and again... holidays are never long enough. but perhaps now i can begin my countdown to home-coming for real. im passed the halfway mark and now have (yay) only 4 years to go before i am home for good.

on a brighter note, it IS only 4 months before i can go home again for chinese new year, so i guess that's a plus! :)
