I'm still alive
Well, haven't been updating this blog because I'm really busy with stuff, or I've simply refused to use any rest/stoning time I have to blog, as I really need to well, rest, or stone.
Have been busy with Foodhunt, it's a different experience this time round being a DPD, despite not needing to do the ground work like contacting stalls, producing programmes, designing posters, handling registration etc, you'll always need to be at the forefront of stuff, especially mentally.
When people 'forget' that they are supposed to call someone, or plan something, you'll need to remind. When things do not go as smooth as planned, you would need to think of solutions and troubleshoot, as people look to your leadership, rather than providing them.
It's not physically tiring, but mentally it is.
Oweek'08 is another thing that requires lots of preparation, really thanks to Huimin for getting the whole comm, Remmy for doing the rough yet detailed theme outline out, and Kaiwei for tolerating my nonsense and the agreement when we discuss, despite me being overbearing, I feel, at times.
As I've said to some people, I feel uneasy whenever study has taken a backseat, and this semester, it really has. Gone are the days I'm able to really sit down and absorb what I study. People who know how I study will not that I'm not exceptionally smart, it's just that I take the effort to 'stare' at the notes until I understand things.
This time round, the 'luxury' of time in 'staring' at the notes has been at a premium, and this adds to my uneasiness. I'm not one who is satisfied with superficial understanding of stuff, so this superficial browsing of notes has made me not confident of what I studied.
As rest time has been at a premium, I am very sorry to friends whom I've not been able to go out with. 4D, 08, soccer gang. And specially sorry to Rayner, whose birthday celebrations I've not been able to attend either. When I decline gatherings with you guys, it's not because I've put old friends down when compared to the new. It is just that I need to rest in my free time, or I'll simply become exhausted and not having the energy to go through a new week of turbulence. Got so busy meh? Nope. But after the busy week, in my spare time, I need to rest. So for now, just let me be, give me the time to rest. When I'm free, normal service will be resumed.
Well, I hope for Foodhunt to go smoothly, and after that I'll really try to fly. I really hope it wouldn't be too late by then.
Until then, byebye blog.
