Mr. Orange

in a land far far away, Mr. Orange took the throne of Westland. the support for him from the people raised countless questions about what they view an ideal leader is. is an ideal leader one who disrespects women? is an ideal leader one who mocks people with physical disabilities? is an ideal leader one who puts people down just to make himself feel great? is an ideal leader one who keeps saying he will make things better without listing clear directions and plans? is an ideal leader one who is racist? is an ideal leader one who is a bigot?

Mr. Orange's reign will be nothing less of four years. his rule opens a huge door to the land of great uncertainties and unchartered waters. personally, i am curious, though a little worried, of the times ahead of us.

gut feeling

yes this is an update of my life.

so glad to actually wind down yesterday and today. not much work done but lots of chill time. yeah, i might have a pinch of regret now and then but i know i need these times. i am still searching for my drive to power through revision for finals. no steam. no pumped feeling. no motivation. but i will find it real soon. in the mean time i am trying to clear the last assignment. it is taking way longer than expected.. thanks to procrastination.

well, some clown said that tomorrow is a better time for anything.. haha. not true when it comes to such serious stuff. but i cannot really help as of now. i shall aim to find my drive.. tomorrow evening so Thursday onwards i can power through the next month. i hope this will be the last time i use that saying literally.

late nights. another thing i should aim to take care of. late nights are taking a little on me and i know this habit is no good. shall aim to adjust before reading week starts.. so that i can make full use of sunshine. i don't really do productive work in the late evening for some reason though i wish at times i can. ohh wells, at least i know myself well enough to work smart.

anyway, before closing, i shall side track about a decision made yesterday. i decided to say some words and act in a way i hope i will not regret. time will tell i guess. nonetheless, following my gut feeling has, more often than not, helped me through my life so far. until next time then, cheers.

wrong time

yes this is an update of my life.

tomorrow will be start of week 13.. the last week of the semester. though few modules are done with their classes and what not.. there are the weird annoying few that have yet to end. so yeah, not really an extra week of reading week.. probably just 1.5. better than nothing i suppose. this week will be the week to consolidate the energy and stamina to power through to the 1st of December when my last paper will end.

sadly, this is also a very wrong time to feel the cold engine. i have lost a huge amount of motivation for this semester already and i am barely close to the end of my papers, considering the fact that i have yet to clear one out of the five final papers. hell, even reading week has yet to begin. i guess this major lack of steam is partly due to the crazy past two weeks of submissions and what not. it is about time to head out and hang out to chill for few days before i am ready again to sprint to the finish line.

equal work and play time. i forgot this aspect for a week plus now. hence, the mental health of mine is signalling the need to take in slower for awhile. hope  i regain the motivation to tackle all the revision in the coming few weeks. press on people. we are in too late to give up anyway. until next time then, cheers.
