kong xi fa cai!

Hello ppl
long time no see
bet you guys miss me!

Heehee don't you all just love my poem! anyway, it's been long long long due since the start of the year, and I've been meaning to post, but my memory failed me. Bleah. Here goes!

C - career/studies
Caps this sem: 4.0
I am going for all tutorials and lectures (even the b law one with the slow lecturer).
I am doing all tutorials, including extra questions.
I am going for more 'touch-up' workshops, classes, etc.
I am writing down impt things, notes and deadlines in my pink nus diary! (keep track of schedule, for I depended on my friend too much last sem.)
I am completing all the compulsory readings for fna, bsp, philo.
I am participating more in class discussions and in tutorials. (confidence must therefore be built.)
I refuse to push my project to the last min, even if it means nagging at my team mates at all expenses.

Okie! So, with that said, lets go on to...

R - relationship

Family
Current basic overview: With dad, it's fine. With bro, it's getting distant. With mom, it's on and off.

So I guess what I really need to work on is r/nship with mom and bro. Bro's in puberty stage (the act-cool stage) so he's just basically keeping to himself and all that, which I guess can't really be helped, so there's not much there to it that I am able to do. Still, I've been trying to talk to him at selective times, but he seems determined to maintain that distance. (Everytime I go to his room to talk to him, he tells me he just farted, and I do not dare to take the chance.)

With mom, it's so on and off. She's basically weird at times, complete with weird logic, behaviour and actions. When she comes to ka-jiao me (haha what a pun), I used to get really irritated and a quarrelling match occurs. Then, I adopted a 'ignoring you' stance. She continues her ka-jiao-ing. I really do not understand what she wants, and what I am supposed to do. Now, I am trying my best to do my work as she nags at me. It's working fine, so far. She gets what she wants (nagging, or what she calls talking to me), I use it as an exercise to try and do work while tuning out the 'noise'.

Friends
Okay, I guess I am fine with who I have now. So I think I will just improve my attitude towards all my friends, both close and not so close.

I have decided to open up more acquintances, be more friendly, less shy and more bold. Again, confidence comes in. I would have to be less judgemental, esp to those who seem like 'material girls'. I would also be more willing to listen, increase my sensitivity and be more considerate. =)

R/nship with jw is fine, thank God for that. =) yay.

E-economics
Hmm. I'm doing fine for this. Though a little tight recently due to Mom's illness. Five dollars a day is my budget, so I just have to eat lesser. A blessing in disguise? Heheh.

S-spiritual
I am praying everyday.
I am reading my Bible at least every other day.
I am listening and obeying Him when He speaks, not doubting it is Him and not me talking to myself.
I am doing my M&M's!

H-health
Okay, another touchy topic on trainings. (touch rugby only.)
Basic overview: I used to be really really good. I could play really well, doing my own stuff, listening and doing what others tell me to do, and all that. I could defend, attack and cover for others.

Well, it deteriorated during the hols. My passion for trainings drained off, faster than the speed of light, due to pressure. Pressure from team, coach and especially, myself. Expectations too high to be met, to the extent that I refused to allow a single mistake. Result? I got worse. Slow reflexes and speed, ball handling and all else cannot make it.

So, I've decided. No pressure, go for trainings just to play. Play and listen at the same time. I will listen to my instincts more on defense, listen to team mates on attack. As much as possible, I am doing 30-30. 30 crunches/sit-ups and 30 push-ups everyday. This is to train core muscles, to be more flexible, and to train arm strength to pass further. As for speed and stamina, I am going all out to 'kill' during trainings. Watch out! =P haha. No more reserve, no more 2nd team.

So yeah! That's all folks! Guess you guys will see lesser of me at hq this sem. I've got a lot of readings and extra homework, online and off, to do. Got to attend workshops too. Bleah. See all of you later today! I am going for steamboat, shun bian collect angbaos too!! YAYS!
