Taking on the world.

So I have been talking about taking more responsibilities in life and taking control of my life. For starters, I have been giving more structure to my life by setting some goals for myself and trying my best to uphold them. For the next step, I have started to pay for my own expenses and shit!

So yesterday, I brought my folks out for ice cream after dinner. Homemade ice cream at Shaw Towers! I haven't been spending quality time with my folks since I was 16 so it's about time I caught up with them! And just a few hours ago, I brought them out for dinner to have fish and chips!

I am sure they weren't happy that I paid for dinner but the fact that I am trying to be more independent. Also, they probably were happy at the fact I was willing to spend time with them and all. I mean they have done a lot for me for the whole of my life, what I did was really the bare minimum of the least I could do.

I am glad that I did something nice for my folks, I really am. I am also glad that I am keeping my word of blogging at 10.30pm daily. It's time that I straightened my life and make big changes!

End.

Keeping on track.

Okay.

So turns out I have been putting off my blogging for awhile already. The point is that I am back here again to blog! Welp, exams are in a week and I have started studying already. I would definitely need to kick it up a notch because I do have alot of work cut out for me and I do need to remember quite a lot of things.

It's pretty late already, new rule of blogging for myself: Blog by 10.30pm.

Regardless of where I am, I will be blogging by 10.30pm daily.

Saving up for my big trip is going on well, so is the exercising! I am keeping to my goals but same like my studying pace..it's time to kick it up a notch.

End.

A good balance

So I am not sure if I mentioned that I had plans to go overseas for quite awhile. I plan to finish my course of study by early April? A few of us already planned to go snowboarding in NZ or Aussie in June next year, half would be going for a week or two and the other plan to stay on for months. Yeah, you might be thinking that it's gonna cost a bomb. Our plan is to work on some farm or job hop while exploring the country.

First stop, NZ or Aussie. When we are done we would head on down to Europe and explore! Not too sure whether Europe would offer any exchange program or anything but if they do that'd be awesome. I have decided that I do need to see more of the world, get exposed and gain experience! Not to mention build up contacts! And the best time to do it is now, while I am still young before I break into the rat race.

I realized that a good deal of Singaporeans are complacent or perhaps afraid to venture out. Singapore is just so small compared to any other country let alone the rest of the world.  I want to experience the different working environments of Psychology around various parts of the world, gain valuable experience and hoping build a network of friends all around the world.

For tonight, it would be a night of fun with my friends from the heartlands - that's why I am blogging so early. A certain someone is turning 23! I guess that's all for tonight, hope I make it home alive! Heh.

End.

Back from the not-so-dead

The past few days have been utterly horrid, I still haven't completely recovered too. Been perspiring alot recently since I fell sick, which is kinda ironic because I had difficulty sweating at the start of my sickness. Not that I am wishing for it to stay until I am completely healed but I think it's about time that I went back to normal? I mean I know I put on weight but surely it can't be that bad right? And besides, it's starting to get on my nerves feeling so yucky throughout the whole day. So I don't know if it's the weather or my sickness that is causing this but if things still stay the same after the end of this week...then I will figure something out.

Progress with my guitar is going good! Finally spending quality time with my guitar! Hey, I have been playing the guitar since 12 but it has always been on and off. At least things a different now, trying out new stuff as well as learning new stuff. For some reason, "without me" has been stuck in my head for a good week coming to the second week. You gotta admit that the tune is really catchy, it just sucks when I am thinking about important things and I can't concentrate all thanks to slim shady.

Been spending quite alot of time with my folks too, mostly because I am cooped up at home resting. Been eating with them quite alot since the past few days, spent quality time with them chatting and all during dinner. I mean not that i don't eat with them at all but our timings are different, I end up eating later than them most of the time. Plus, I usually eat food while doing other stuff. Up to this point of time, I have ran out of stuff to write about. I figured I would have more considering I missed out a couple days worth of blogging because I was sick. Okay, I guess that kinda answered my own question in a way. April is coming, a new month ahead. March has been rather interesting, not in a good or bad way really. Welp, a new month is gonna bring in new things I guess.

So I guess this is it for tonight!

End.

Sick

Call it bad luck if you must, fell really sick since early Thursday morning. Been burning a fever and a killer inflamed throat and still not anywhere near recovery yet. Head hurts like a bitch, throat hurts even more than that and haven't been able to stop sweating since this morning. I don;t really like to sweating because it is dehydrating me alot which is causing the headache to worsen. As for the super sore throat, I just want to recover as soon as possible, I feel like I am suffocating and every time I swallow my own saliva it feels like I am choking badly. Oh great, headache is getting worse. Time to rest.

End.

Going good!

So it's day two of my postings! I am actually glad that I followed through with this, honestly I didn't have much faith in myself carrying on with this. I guess I was wrong about myself in a good way! So not such a good day today, woke up late for work, left work alot later than usual and the zipper of my pants broke. I really liked it alot! I hope I can somehow find a way to repair it so I can wear it again soon. Didn't have time to exercise today, really rushing here and there but at least there is gonna be a long weekend ahead! Not to mention, it's been awhile since I hung out with the guys and I am glad I got the chance to! Ian, for one, isn't too keen on the idea of Brocho cheese again. Of course, this time round I will make sure the dishes are clean before putting any food on them!

Whenever I stare out of my room window, I just see this really tall tower - I call it Gotham City Tower. The way it was designed just screams Batman and Gotham City to me, I can imagine Comish Gordon up on the roofs with the bat signal. Just staring at it makes me think about Batman and the theme song from Batman the animated series just starts playing in my mind. Going off track again, the main point is that such a sight always just makes me think or reminisce. My mind can just wander from topic to topic or jump from memory to memory. So what's on my mind now? Thinking about the things I used to do when I was younger. Burning stuff, trashing stuff and lots of jackass-que antics.

Funny how I am just sitting here in front of my Padphone letting all my thoughts flow freely, mind you this is just me typing out whatever that just comes to mind! Surprisingly, not much grammatical errors or errors in the sentence structure. Maybe there are countless errors but to me it seems perfectly fine. Another thing I would like to add to my to-do list is to continue with two stories that I am actually writing but left them on hiatus since awhile back. If possible, I would also be delighted to obtain whatever left of a story I wrote that is lost somewhere in the MINDEF intranet. I would like to continue with the story and end it properly like how I had originally intended to.

Just remembered I haven't eaten my dinner yet! And sitting beside me is a bag of chips which was supposed to be last night's dinner but thankfully, at the back of my mind was a voice screaming for REAL food. Haven't touched my guitar for today, I do need to trim my nails too before I start playing since I have been putting that off as well. I guess that's all for today! Did I accomplish anything? Yeah! I did! ( Besides work related, my own goals!) Things are going great, let's keep this positive momentum going steady!

2013

Good evening, it's been quite a long time. Such an understatement, really. I can't remember when it was the last time I have actually visited here, let alone made a post. The C-box should be filled with spam and nonsense, what's important is that I am back to make use of this space once again. It's a big commitment issue I guess, but things needs to change for the matter. For one, I need to take control of my life and not just follow anywhere the wind blows. For starters, I need some form of regimentation. As much as I hate that, I do realise my life has been one without much if not any form of regimentation. That is of course less the two mandatory years of National Slave...I mean servitude.

Back to topic, I am actually allocating more time to study - literally sitting down and reading the textbooks. I do enjoy school and I can't lie to myself regarding the actual amount of time and effort I am putting in. It's all about the commitment, I am aware of that. My actions will speak for itself for the school terms to come. Next up, my own health. I have been abusing this host body of mine (not literally) and it's time to take good care of myself! Stop procrastinating and more exercising, not to mention less pigging out and more of eating what I required. I would allow myself to junk it out occasionally and also reward myself with a certain fermented beverage more occasionally but of course sparingly. Key word: SPARINGLY.

Next on the list, maintaining the usage of this space and putting more thoughts here. That means blogging daily, part of certain goals I have set and also more goals I have in mind to come! Personal opinions, thoughts are random musing included! I do intend to practice radical honesty (Courtesy of Ernest), because it has been brought to my attention that I think too much. I need to stop thinking and just do. That's right. So one of the ways to practice that is to just pen down my thoughts as they flow, without editing or adjusting them to anyone's expectations or subjecting them to some form of censorship. So that's the more important points that I have listed down lest I forget, my memory has been really bad. Like REALLY BAD.

So here's what I will do:

- Exercise more and eat & drink sparingly. (Does not apply to water, I should be drinking more water!)
- Sleep early, by midnight every night.
- Study at least an hour every day, the more the merrier. (Lesson time does not apply!)
- Blog daily, be true to my thoughts.
- Just execute it! (Due to copyright infringements and blatant over-usage of a certain slogan.)

Oh! Here's a little bonus:

- Pick up french again and learn it properly this time!

Yes, I am serious. I want to do it right this time.

End.
