  • Like a mugger?

    I'm always writing and taking down notes in class..
    Hardworking eh? Or so they think.
    Tutors and classmates think I'm a mugger, when I'm not, SO FAR from that, in fact.
    Truth is, I don't do tutorials. Whatever I am scribbling quickly, they are answers.
    Tutors said they expected me to do better for the common tests.(because i appear so hardworking during class)
    Truth is, I think that is my limit (for not being a mugger that is).

    This semester has brought much more disappointment, as much as I feel that I am working harder than before.
    It's still not enough. I know.
    This time, I know, we're no longer classmates, and that I feel I need to be dependent on myself (maybe that's the reason for looking like a mugger).
    I'm no longer the person who's willing to squeeze out time to exercise, because whenever I do, I'd rather be a couch potato.
    I'm either late or nowhere to be seen when it comes to friends' meetings.
    Telling them how I need to complete my work, when in fact, I am stoning.
    I'm not like this. I used to be someone who agrees to go out most of the time even when work is piling up!

    Tutorials are never done, project target deadlines are always delayed.
    I've become a lazier person! Even my room has become so messy.
    I've been brushing off the thought I had about this being a bad semester, bad year.
    Now, I still refuse to accept the fact.
    but wait, it IS going to be a bad year, because i'll be going on BIG TWENTY.

    So many things to do, so many goals yet to be accomplished, so little time.
    At times like this, I find myself reminiscing the past again.
    5 years ago, everything all much better.

    Is this how I'm living my life?

    PS: I can't wait for this semester to be over (as much as I'm afraid of entering year 3), maybe university life will be better, or am I over-reassuring myself again?

    I'm scared

    Grandma loves avocado, so do I

    I made a point to exercise at least thrice a week, but stopped due to exams recently.
    Now, it seems difficult to start again since I stopped, but I'll gain that momentum again!
    So now, I'm happily gaining weight because Mum and Dad brought some food from Indo!
    YES AHHHH

    Ngee Ann Polytechnic Canteen 2 does not serve PROPER Avocado juice, so I requested my parents to bring some for me.



    Grandma:"have one and tell me of it's good!"
    Maid:" okay thank you!"
    Grandma:"so how's the avocado? It was soft right!"
    Maid:"Soft? It was so hard!"
    Grandma:"You sure? it was good!"
    Maid:"No, it was so hard, you gotta eat the INSIDE right?"
    Grandma:"yeah, the INSIDE and discard the seed"
    Maid:"WHAT? I threw away the flesh and ate the SEED!"

    Anyway, that was years back.

    The avocado juice in school is soooo diluted and they put brown sugar!! Not SATISFYING enough!
    So I thought of making at home, but the only Avocado I can find in Singapore (pathetic), is from Australia, darn expensive and they're so hard, they don't seem to ever ripe.



    Discard the SEED in the middle and scoop out the FLESH from the skin.
    Yes, it's the FLESH that's edible.

    So drop that yellow beautiful AVOCADO meat in your mug, crush n mix em up with a spoon.
    (I'm too lazy to dig for the juicer and eventually washing it later.)
    Add some chocolate condensed milk!
    Sadly, I cannot find chocolate condensed milk in Singapore (again, pathetic).
    Add Hersey's chocolate syrup/any other chocolate syrup.
    Sadly, I don't have any of those at home right now, so I added Milo powder.


    WARNING: the picture is not meant for people who are feeling nauseous






    To cover those green stuff looking like moss, I added more Milo powder...
    AVOCADO DINOSAUR!

    HEHEH

    I still think I should have used a juicer.
    It looks disgusting.
    *covers eyes and start eating*
    YUMMM

    I feel fine

    I give in to my own pleas too much.
    Last minute shopping trips alone (because town is just so near and I'm feeling really crappy)
    Bingeing (because there is ALWAYS something I'm craving for)
    I can't sleep early (and I'm not willing to try).
    I don't want to study (because I'm too sad or lazy)
    I go to the gym even though I'm tired (because I just don't wanna stay at home, and not willing to do any of the above).
    It feels good to perspire, like letting loose.
    I don't feel so alone either, because I can people-watch .

    I thought I liked being alone, and rather allow my computer to accompany me.
    I thought I like stoning, not doing anything at all.
    I thought I am my own companion, always being kind and pampering myself.
    I questioned people who hated being alone.
    Can't they find things to do on their own?
    But now, I feel the same way?

    Gotta.break.out.from.this.mundane.tragic.solitude.

    I must watch TV more often.
    I must 'visit' my siblings more often.
    but I must go out/shop less because I should not be spending all the time!
    I must sleep more.
    I must study. DUH.
    I must watch what I eat. Time to be healthier!
    Continue running, because I want to improve my timing for 2.4km!

    It's never the time to start feeling sad and wallow self-pity!

    Gravity

    I don't usually exercise much.
    I've been dragging myself to the gym more often lately.
    When I'm there, I don't seem like I wanna leave.
    My stamina has not improved since I don't remember when, but I seem to be pushing myself more lately.
    I tried the weights, only managed up to 4kg though!
    I want toned arms, yet I don't want chunky arms....
    I guess I just like the feeling of sore and exhaustion?
    I'm still eating, so I'm not presuming that I'm gonna lose any weight!

    Reckless

    You tend to give in to your impulses and indulge your cravings. Rather than fight your emotions, you often do what comes naturally, which means occasionally overdoing it, sometimes even embarrassing yourself.

    You are not good at resisting temptation and avoiding overindulgence; you are not the kind of person who doesn't regret anything you said or did.

    Self-Contained

    You like to stick to your own business and leave the power struggles to others; you know who you are and what you believe in, but you don't see any reason to impose your values on everyone else.

    You generally don't get involved in organizing or motivating people, and you don't feel the need to always be seen as a big public decision-maker.

    Cooperative

    You enjoy teamwork, play well with others, and prefer getting along to winning.

    You're not compelled to win every contest nor to be right all the time.

    Impulsive

    You trust your your instincts. What others may see as rash behavior is, for you, simply going with your gut. Individuals with a high score on the "impulsive" trait tend to try new, sometimes outrageous, things.

    You are not timid. For you, spending time microscopically examining the pros and cons of every decision means never getting anything accomplished.

    Laid Back

    You prefer to do your own thing, in your own way, rather than attempt to force your will, or your ego, on a group. You're happy working on your own, taking your sweet time, and focusing on the job at hand.

    You're not pushy. You're not interested in imposing your will on others, taking charge of every situation, being the first to raise your hand in class, or insisting on being the winner of every argument.

    Inefficient

    You like to live your life without plans, and when you do have a plan you're happy to ignore it. While you're not necessarily opposed to getting work done, you're very good at finding other ways to spend your time.

    You are not anal, or even particularly well organized. You don't enjoy sticking to your plans, and don't mind when you don't finish on time.

    Calm

    You rarely become irritated, generally accept people as they are, take things as they come, and feel relaxed in most situations.

    You do not let a minor annoyance escalate to a confrontation. You don't regularly snap at those around you or fly off the handle with little provocation.

    Emotional

    You let it all hang out, and those around you always know what you're going through.

    You are not isolated from your emotions; no one would call you "cold-blooded," or even "cool as a cucumber."

    Easygoing

    You move at your own pace and take whatever time is needed to master a new skill or get a job done. You are what you are, and don't need to see yourself as the world's best whatever.

    You do not feel the need to conquer every challenge, be the best at everything you undertake, or win every contest.

    Stressed Out

    You often feel that there's too much on your plate, that you don't have the strength to deal with the bad hand you've been dealt, or that you're going to lose it if you have to deal with one more problem.

    You don't always bounce back quickly from adversity; sometimes when you get bad news it can hang over you for a long time.


    True? Or not?

    SQUASH IT

    I've never been this nervous or worried, topped with a tinge of excitement, very SLIGHT tinge of excitement.
    Trials tomorrow!
    With so many other good players, how can I make it to the competition?
    I told my sis, she started nagging about why I would be so worried about this, instead of my grades.
    This is about what I truly like, and studies fall into another category.

    waterpistols @Calvinaaaa ohh GOOD LUCK!!! "BELIEVE IN YOURSELF" hahahha

    HAHAH yes, I've been drilling those 3 words in my head.
    Thank you Hel

    I just hope I won't disappoint myself.
    "keep calm, and believe in myself"
    so cliched but that's all I can tell myself right?
