tipping point. not.

Really hate to say this but the truth is...
the FINAL EXAMS and DEADLINES are looming and they are just 5 weeks away.

sO many things undone yet to be completed within such a short span of time. Projs undone, ppt not cleared, assignment untouched and worst, I haven been catching up in lec, tuts and readings all this while. GG!!!

Seems like a need for priority reallocation should be done.

Just started on my new job today: weekend IT facilitator
Officially took over the class but I realized I'm bad at classroom management especially for P1 and P2 kids. really hate to admit this but I have a better working relationship with upper primary students.><

After today's lesson, I was contemplating whether to continue with this part time stint in view of my really hectic lifestyle. Somehow I'm not able to achieve a balance between work and study. For the past few daYs I've been crumbling under the enormous stress level that is mounting day by day. Every week just had to pass so swiftly with little work done.

Perhaps I should really weigh my priorities this time round.

Opportunity cost of $240 per month from work. A third class honors degree? Economically inefficient if u think long term. What's more, I alr have the intention to quit cos of my overseas attachment next year. Just a matter of sooner or later. Why not end it once and for all so that they can get someone with better suitability for the job too.

AlrightS! My mind is set. Shall tender my resignation soon. Give chor gin a call tmr.=)

HUi Lin will concentrate on her studies full-time.
Projs, laptop, heaps and heaps of readings, textbooks, lecture and tutorials shall be my bestest companion from 12Oct -4 Dec!!!

I MUST BE STRONG and FIGHT THEM ALL!!!^^

rOUND 2, fiGHT!

yes, recess week officially ended yest.

Into the 2nd half of yr 3 seM 1. tIMe to accelerate and drift in this rat race.

thinGS to do= aplenty.

a mountain of readings, tuts to catch up with pluS 3 projs, 1 presentation, 1 assignment and revision for the final exaM. =S

muST chIOng chIOng CHiong!

was feeling totally demoralise, driveless during the recess week.

so i asked myself:
Why such unhappiness becos of sch work?
I must try to live every day happily no matter how stress life is.
cOmpared to those who suffered from poverty and had their loved ones lost during the recent earthquakes in developing countries, I'm much more fortunate. What they don't have i don't lack.

Yet I still live so miserably. No. I shouldn't be unhappy just because of so much workload. I should be glad and grateful for such privileges. A peaceful life, high standard of uni edu and of course family and friends who are always there to support me.

"Yest is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is present. That's why we call the present a gift. "
Like what the cliche saying says, one must liVe everydaY meaningfully, unraveling the hidden surprises life has in store for us.

shall wave goodbye to little miss gruMpy and welcome little miSS haPPy =) tmR onwards.

JIA YOU and stay strong >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

to someone whom i still treasure as a buddy:

i hope things will stay e same as it is from the start. i believe our friendship will go a longer way than BGRs. i could see that you were trying to make your intentions known to me. but I chose to run away from it.

somehow, I'm not ready for the commitment that BGRs ensue. and I don't want to lose a friend to a wrong decision made in a moment of folly. It is easy to get attached but the level of commitment devoted into the relationship is something which takes two to clap. I haven got any confidence in doing so.

I'm glad that I gave you my honest reply when you asked if u stand any chance. At least we put a stop to everything before it escalates.

Hope you'll respect my decision, buddy.
