For the last 2 weeks, I have been a very lucky person. I seemed like my luck have changed for the better. I need to sleep early today because I have been awake for more then 24 hours as of now.
Nothing much happened today. Went on my usual routine and doing the things I normally do. But the weather today is damn good! In the afternoon, the sun is bright and the air is cool. Really felt like going for a run, but exercising with a heavy sleep debt can be dangerous especially if I am going to run alone.
Worked on my presentation which is due on Wednesday. Sorted out all the details and now all that is left of it is to work on the powerpoint slides. There is Signals lecture tomorrow morning and I have yet to read the textbook. I think I will wake up early tomorrow morning and revise a little before going to class to avoid being a blur sotong during lecture time.
Like I said, I am really the kind of person who would feel happy again after one night of sleep. What happened yesterday seemed so distant and it seemed like I have took it in my stride already. Everything will sort itself out eventually given time. My friend called me to say that she is feeling better today already and I am really glad to hear it.
The air is cool tonight and I am sure I will enjoy the nights sleep! =D
Tomorrow will be a tough day. Got to work on my studies as well as my To-Do list. Fighting one battle after another and rest for the night just to fight another one tomorrow. Luckily Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and it is going to be a much needed break for me.

A Normal Day...
Managed to battle my way past half of my To-Do list yesterday(since it is past midnight) and feeling a little satisfied with myself for the amount of work I have been doing. Forgot to take a nap or rather there is no time for me to take a nap in afternoon, because the work just keep coming and coming.
Played a little bit of basketball while filming today and read up on EE2010 today and was finally was able to grasp what the lecturer is teaching. For the rest of the night, I worked on my To-Do list. It felt really good when you can strike something on the list, so I work and work with the motivation of striking words of the list (I know it is a dumb motivation). =D
Went for Eusoffworks supper and door tag making session a couple of hours ago. The supper sort of rejuvenated me. Seeing my members enjoying themselves and having fun makes me want to work harder and make things better.
I need to get Audioworks going again. Andrew have been covering lots of things for me while I am working on Eusoffoworks. Really owe him lots of thanks. Given that Eusoffworks is now more or less stable and functional, I should move back to Audioworks do my share of duty.
Learned a little bit of Kendo outside C1 from the "masters" just a moment ago and I must say it is quite interesting.
Feeling quite happy lately, because the people whom are valuable to me are happy. I like to see them smile and hear them laugh. My headache disappeared for about a month, and my flu is gone for now. Have been replacing Ipoh coffee with Red Date Tea lately and gotten 2 new cups, so in case one crack, I still have another one! Opps... just remembered I forgot to return somebody her cup. XD

Today At Clementi...
I hate paperwork! I rather do boring maths tutorials or impossible-to-do Electromagnetics homework. It is not that I am not good at paperwork. On the contrary, I am actually very good with them. When I was in the Army my paperwork is flawless (well almost or at least it look like that are to my superiors). But as one would put it, laziness bring forth innovation. So I designed a computer database system to significantly shorten then time spend on them. But I still hate them, because they are so boring... A good leader needs to be administratively strong, and seemed like I don't meet that criteria. =p
Went to Clementi Central after MINDS today. My time at MINDS has thought me to slow down for other people and showed myself that I am capable of helping an old lady wash her hands without breaking her fingers. I really enjoyed my time there. Everything seemed to peaceful and slow. It is as if time has stopped so that everyone could catch their breaths. My purpose of going Clementi Central is to buy my Singapore Studies Text From Clementi Bookstore.
I walked into the shop and straight to the counter and showed the staff the ISBN of the book I wanted. After 10 seconds of fiddling with her computer, she replied "No Stock." The whole process took less then 30 seconds. On my way back to the train station, I saw bubble tea and tarts, but I resisted the temptation of buying them as it would cost me my dinner which is due in a 2 hours time. Knowing that I have a whole pile of paperwork waiting for me at my desk, I decided to procrastinate a little and take a walk around the Central.
Ok, I need to sleep soon! Tomorrow 8am class again... If anyone see me puke blood around NUS, please be careful not to slip over them. =p

End Of First Week!
Today concludes the end of the first week of school. I thought of doing some running, but the the rain just wouldn't stop.
This morning I got up at about 7.30am and realized I was late for breakfast! Suppose to meet up with Wenlin and Wayne, and it is quite inconsiderate of me to be late especially when Wenlin woke up early just to eat breakfast with us. Sorry to both of them!
For the past week, I had a series of good and bad luck plus a whole bunch of blurness. Tutorial balloting went really bad for me because I just couldn't get the slot I wanted. It is a game of chance and I kind of got used to my bad luck. But on Thursday, the department decided to open up a few more places in the more popular tutorial slots which I manage to secure a place as it is first come first serve! I am glad that I did not manage to get the slots that I bidded in the previous rounds which would have forced me to attend tutorials in odd hours. I believe that Life is unfair but is balanced. =)
This semester I have 3 days with classes at 8am. So I "decided" to sleep by 12am everyday! Of course it is easier said then done. And until today, the earliest time I slept is 2am which was yesterday. Like Jit Vern said to me today, "Work can never be finished.". Every night, I would peep out of my window to check if his lights are still on or not at times past midnight. From my observation, for everyday in this week, he slept earlier then me! I am SURE that he is more busy then I am and he must have a secret skill that allows him to sleep early and still get his things done...
Yesterday morning I woke up late for class, because I set my alarm to 7PM instead of 7AM. Thanks to Jit Vern for waking me up else I think I would have woke up just in time for dinner instead =p.
Went to Clementi Bookstore to get our textbooks today and I seemed to have problems making decisions. I guess I am a little tired after the lecture and the lack of sleep, and so my lazy brain decides to run on minimal power. It was pouring on our way there. Well, at least there is one "intelligent" decisions I made today and that is to wear shorts and slippers to class. Ok, another reason for the sloppy attire is also because I am late for breakfast. =)
My "To-Do" list have been piling up and I hope I did not forgot any pen down any of them especially the important ones. There is also a handful of decisions I have to make and see them into actions. I am not complaining actually, because I am glad that people around me are willing to take some load off my shoulders and carry out their responsibilities properly. You know who you are and I know who you are. Thanks again!
This coming weekend is going to be 2H's 10 year anniversary BBQ! Kind of excited actually and it feels quite special and a little hard to believe that we are still keeping in touch for 10 years which is like almost half of my existence on Earth. Got to sort out the food list tonight and arrange a time with BX to go down to SLS tomorrow to get his burner and of course to eat the Minced Pork Noodle at the basement food court.
Finally manage to get my hands on Audioworks stuff again after one month of break. Got a little rusty with handling all the equipment, but yesterday's IHG Supper is indeed a good warm up. Well, it sort of reminded me of New Year's Eve where I forgot to switch on the mains to the rice cooker and made my family starve for an hour.
The reason why I don't make much mistakes at work because I am dead serious when I am at it. My face tells it all. But off work, things are apparently different. Yup, I got up at 7am on the first day of school because I thought class it at 8am when it is actually at 9am. The consequences are sort of negligible as I spend that extra hour in the morning ironing out my desired timetable. Someone once told me this : "Know where to make your mistakes and when to laugh at them."

People...
"Most Of the Time, People Don't Change, It Is Our Expectations And Perceptions Of Them That Changes All The Time."
Just woke up from a nap on my table an hour ago and now my back is aching a little >.<. I seriously need to learn to break away the bad habit of taking naps halfway through work on my study desk. Speaking of which, yesterday night I spend an hour pinning up cards and all sorts of little presents on my noticeboard to make my room look less dull and more lively. I can live comfortably without all the nice and glittery stuff in my room like the last semester, but she said I should "decorate" my room a little. Well being spartan, I am a little apprehensive about spending an precious hour to do something "unimportant", but in the end, curiosity got the better of me because I am curious about how it would feel to have a cosy and "decorated" room. So I bought a box of pins just to do this and it felt quite good actually to make my room more "me". It sort of filled me with a little more sense of belonging and somehow it feels a little more ... attractive (pardon me if I lock myself in my room more nowadays =p). Kind of hard to find words to describe this feeling actually, but it indeed made me felt better and just maybe it is the first step of of my exciting journey to learn to enjoy my life more. =)
Nothing much to look at. Since most of the things people give me are food. All I can blame is me and my greedy mouth. But, hey, keep the food coming ok? Because I don't mind them. =pI have decided to participate in a Short-Film Competition yesterday night and manage to put together a team of 6 talented individuals from hall. They are probably the 6 strongest video editors and film maker in hall at the moment.
One of my Dream is being realized sooner then I thought and the idea of going for a competition makes me really excited. I can't sleep at night because of this. Ideas for the film we are going to produce flow through my head one after another and no matter how I try to stop thinking, I can't. The worse thing is that I have a class at 8am the next day!

IHG 06/07
Just got back from filming IHG at Sheares Hall not long ago. The Sepak Takraw Carnival lasted for 13 hours, and it is really tiring to be there to capture the moments with the video camera and DSLR. The day before, I spend the whole afternoon at SRC doing the same thing but with Touch Rugby (got a really good sun tan too!)
During the holidays, I stayed in hall and helped my fellow Eusoffworks members produced a short film for IHG.
Not bad for starters and I am sure that more short films will be produced in time to come. I really hope that one day Eusoffworks will be able to win an award in a Nationwide Competition. =)
I got a feeling this IHG is going to be tough for Eusoffworks with the shortage of manpower and the lack of disk space, but if we work hard enough, there ought to be a way where we can still can get things done to a high standard. And for the next 7 weeks or so, I am going to show my members why I am their Head and that I am not only good at all the technical stuff =p.
Recently I have been like a slave driver as well as a slave myself. I have been "forcing" people to work like there is no tomorrow and making sure myself work twice as hard as them. I always believed in Leading By Example and I am going to do just that!
Feeling better now already even though I am very tired. No more flu!
After a tiring day, all it takes is just an SMS from Taiwan and a good hot cup of Red Date Tea to charge me up again. School is starting tomorrow and I am really looking forward to it. And it is going to be a little tough for my little body with IHG riding on my back together with schoolwork. But I am sure it is not going to be as bad as last year. =)
Had a really enjoyable holiday! I am Spiritually all charged up and ready to face chanllenges ahead of me. Had a balance of everything; work, play and rest. But life and home is getting a little too comfortable for me, and I am hungry, hungry for everything good and bad that is going to come my way.
Ok, I need to rest already (see? I am taking care of myself =p)! Tomorrow 8am class! Until next time my friends, and may all you all fulfill all your New Year Resolutions!
