New Blog

What-a-not-so-productive-day today.

But at least I managed to run with Butt, and played pool with Boon Heng.
Having nice friends rocks :)

I've created another blog recently.
www.messythoughtsofmine.tumblr.com
(Link is still subjected to changed though)

Reason for creating a new blog is because I get asked very often about whether I have a blog when I go for interviews. I will usually tell them yes, and that my blog is a private one. But I guess it might be good to start writing properly on a new platform. A place that could train me to write better, and a place where I'm not afraid to let my future employers read what I write.

The interface at tumblr is quite nice, making it enjoyable to blog.
I might consider shifting my personal space completely over as well. But will see how it goes ba :)

Meanwhile, it's the end of week 12.
And the start of a hell week soon...

Updates about my life

I miss the food in Korea. And the lovely shopping.

But still kinda hate it for being too touristy.

4) Crazy times in Batam.

Not suppose to share what happened. It's secret.

Just one conclusion: My friends rox.

Another conclusion: never stay at sijori resort. 3 blackouts in a night

5) Jenn's married!

Who would have expect Jennifer to be the first to tie the knot :)

But nevertheless, im happy for them.

And i wish them a bright future, with perhaps a few small jenn and small des :)

No choice. been spending a lot lately. 

Gotta start working!

Random thoughts

When the guilt trip starts kicking in...

Week 12 of school

Amanda is currently blogging from the PC Commons from uTown! :)

Have decided to come here study since starbucks is getting increasingly crowded and noisy

I haven been blogging.

Guess it's partly cuz I've been lazy. And busy.

Maybe I shld start blogging more and going lesser to facebook nowadays.

At least blogging relieves some of my emotions.

Finally, after the crazy 11 weeks,

it's Week 12 of the school term already.

im just left with 2 project report submission (4th & 11th)

2 project presentation (11th & 12)

After that, I should be able to focus and study for my remaining two papers.

Some highlights of the past weeks

1. Met up with Jasmine & Eileen to plan for South Korea trip in May!

Yup yup yup, we are going to South Korea! From 1st to 11th May!

It's a pity that Wendy and Jennifer are not able to join us..

But I'm sure that we'll be able to travel together someday!

2. Burnt my weekend playing pool

Yea, I DID NOT study at all last Saturday and Sunday :(

Partly cuz we have a tournament on Sunday.

And the results? Hahas, well. like usual, most of us lost at the beginning of the tournament

While John advanced to the Top 3 and won second.

But not too bad, we had a yummy dinner with the prize money :)

But But, I'm still feeling guilty for not revising.

Guess I have to study till late tonight, and be productive to make up for it.

3. Random Thoughts

#1: I havent been spending enuf time with crystal. I feel sad

#2: Seeing that friends are submitting their thesis and graduating soon makes me even sadder

#3: Realizing that sometimes ppl arent really serious with their words makes me :'(

lol.. seriously think that i need something to make me happier these days.

Sharon, i miss u. Hope that ur attachment's good. *hugs*

Random Thots

After so long, I'm finally blogging again. Laughs.

Guess it has really been a horrible period for me,

given my crazy workload and other problems.

I've dropped two modules.

Figured that it was impacting my health,

and i could no longer manage it anymore.

So, one new-year resolution unattainable now :(

NUS 9 Ball Open 2012 ended, with a blast i hope?

Laughs.. Crazy two saturdays.

An individual followed by a team event.

I'm glad that its finally over, and that I could focus on my studies.

Relationship wise..

It seems like all the predictions on me are coming true..

It's kinda scary huh..

With a guy that's promising to really be the one i want.

And another telling me that he's serious..

I guess...i dont wanna think about it at the moment.

Studies and pool, are still my top 2 priority for now.

Anyway.. was discussing with my friend over the cost of living in Singapore..

A 4 room HDB flat cost around 500K currently.

Considering that u get married, and wanna buy a flat..

Each of you gotta chip in at least $1000 per mth.

(This means $2000 per mth to pay...And can take up to 20 yrs to finish paying)

A uni graduate might get a job with a starting pay of $3000.

By the time he/she gets married. His or her pay might be ard $4000.

So.....$4000 - $1000 (housing).

You are left with $3000 to pay ur daily expenses, loans, cpf, insurance, car.

And what else? KIDS. Savings might be = 0

This is kinda scary right?

And the flat that u end up getting would most probably be a 99-year lease flat.

This. Is the reality of living in Singapore.

(And im speaking from the view of a uni grad, Top 25 percent of cohort)

What about the rest who dont even make it to uni?

There's a innate problem to why Singapore is facing an aging population.

Worth another chance?

What will you do..

If the guy who used to break ur heart comes back.

This time, feeling apologetic, and remorseful?

I was kinda surprised when he came and wished me Happy New Year that day.

And even more surprised when he started texting me and apologising.

And expressing how much he has regretted.

I was touched by his effort. To put his pride and ego down, just to tell me everything.

But, what remains are still the bad memories that I had.

Wounds take time to heal, and scars hardly ever fade off.

Well..

This is seriously a bad time to drop this on me.

With my crazy 27 modular credits worth of modules,

and my Cuesports tournament coming up soon.

I don't have the bandwidth to think about this.

My priority remains the same for now.

My studies, and pool.

CNY Resolutions

I shall be disciplined and try and complete my CNY resolutions this year :)

1) Be healthier that last year

My thyroid level went down when I was in Sweden. But it got up after I started my internship. I guess it was the stress level, and mainly because I haven't been eating my medication on time.

This year, I shall eat my medicine on time. And be healthier with all the ginseng medicine, and po kan yeong that I bought from South Korea. Lol

2) Graduate from NUS

It's not going to be easy, but I guess I'll still have to.

With 56 modular credits left to complete, I shall be discipline and study hard, so that I can duly complete my honors with double major within my 4.5 years.

I'm someone that plans a lot. And every time when I do not plan, and start changing my plans halfway, things screw up, and I pay dearly for it. So now, no more changes to my plan, i SHALL and WILL graduate in December :)

3) Read more, think more, laugh more, and talk lesser

With a busy year, i highly doubt that I will have much time to waste on silly things.

No more dramas, games or nonsense this year. I shall dedicate my time to learning more. I'll read more books (Like....Why do Men marry bitches! Lol), I'll think more before doing anything. But not TOO much. I'll try to laugh more, even when I'm feeling stress. Cuz I'm sure that's an excellent stress reliever.

Lastly, to talk lesser. It doesnt mean not talk. But, this time, to think before talking. So that I do not upset any people or say anything wrongly.

Tada~ That's all i guess. I BETTER complete them this year! :)
