I should stop procrastinating and start doing things i want/ need to do

Jobless. No income sucks. I get kinda bored. But I keep remind myself to be positive. Stay optimistic. Be that happy person I wanna be. hmmm. Maybe this mindset was cultivated when Peggy Tng introduced Sports Science to us. Edgar Tham? I think it's good. Really useful in chasing the negativity away.

So, looking on the bright side, being jobless is really not that bad. Being so free gives me loads of time to do many things, as long as I stop procrastinating. heh. Stuff like clearing up my messy cupboard. Chipping in more to household chores. Selecting photos to print out and compiling into albums. Doing some artsy farty stuff that I've been wanting to do.. like a video, or a collage, or some scrap book. I was even pretty inspired to clear that layer of dust on my piano and test out the keys.


I should stop proscrastinating yeah? Now that I have the time. Coz when I start work... gee I don't know whether I'll do all these.

Now that I've been back to our sunny island for almost 2 months...(gasp!!! so fast?) I realised that there's only so much that being online can keep me entertained. Facebook doesn't seem that interesting lately. Not many are on msn since they are either at school or at work. I recently gone back to watching my fav shows on youku and cucirca. I even watched those never-shown-before scenes of Titanic on youtube. omg. that's how bored i am. (but i love that movie ok) = ) "Jack, wake up~ wake up!" = (

Interestingly, I've also picked up some reading. The only books I used to read other than my textbooks, lit text, Enid Blyton R.L Stine when I was a kid, are Harry Potter. I just completed the Twilight series a few weeks back. Enjoyable. =) Read Marley & Me too. Loved it! And it's the first time I required tissues (i.e. more than 1 piece) while reading a book.

But I think that it might be a good idea for me to should start reading stuff of more substance, non-fiction... something that I can reflect, or learn.... Hmmm. But I should probably find something interesting if not I'll probably take donkey years to finish. Anyway so one day I was just looking around for some books in my bookshelf. I found a book on effective sleeping habits. heh. Ok and I picked it up. Though I skipped through some chapters, I actually finished it! = ) I gained a little knowledge about sleep, though hmmmmm... I still haven't found a way to make myself fall asleep faster.

Happened to hear bout some book through a conversation with a friend and I went to check to check out the preview. I'm actually pretty excited to read it. That's a first, outside Harry Potter. lol.

Show me what you have got, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus! = )
this is not easy at all... jia you!

crossing paths.

hee! keeping in touch with old frens just makes me feel.... *loss-for-words* = )

come to think of it, i've been pretty blessed to meet nice pple along the way. although i have lost touch with some of them, or grew distant from them, it's still pretty darn nice thinking bout the good old times~

pple like biawak, queen and taozi... my buddies/sisters/brother in army... they made my boring army days much more memorable than it would have been. the kayaking. the dancing. the singing. the "bathing together in the disgusting toilet dressed in sarongs".... muacckzzzz.

pple like frank from the Jitney.. who made me feel so special ... and also made me wonder what i did to deserve such wonderful treatment from someone i met for only a short while! the fanstatic camping trips. the retrieval of my laptop from new york airport. and a very unexpectedly, surprise letter of recommendation. wow.

pple like xiao wen... whom i can hit it off so well in that short 3 months in NAPs. going gaga over the mumu and the lalas haha!

pple like parizat and amanguli... though we were never exactly close, but those memories that i have of making long distance calls and writing letters would probably last till... i have grey hair?

pple like my dear friends from school, softball, and of course kenny pok!

many many pleasant and wonderful memories.

life isn't that bad really when u think about the good stuff! = )
