what is 8am

yes this is an update of my life.

woke up to a rather rainy morning today for classes. bus services were more crowded than usual. every start of the semester i would have a similar thought when riding the internal shuttle bus services. i would wonder how long would such a crowd last. because you see, students tend to start the semester with a strong sense of purpose of going to classes faithfully, hence the crowd. however, as weeks go by, excuses kick in and many will start to disappear resulting to a significant drop in numbers of commuters. so yeah.. i give them 3 or 4 weeks haha.

so four-days work week for me when most of my peers are enjoying three. nonetheless, i am happy with the modules i am taking presently. one very good thing is for the very first time in who knows how many semesters, i do not have early morning classes. 8am classes, i mean. so i get to wake up happy every morning, not regretting the time i head to bed the night before.


on all the days that i have classes, the first one starts at 10am.. meaning waking up at around 8:30am, which is a rather comfortable time to wake up for a weekday. so, two days have passed and i have attended at least one lesson from all the modules that i am taking. the feeling is still surreal though.. year 4.. the most senior student among the undergraduate students. until next time then, cheers.

uncertainty

yes this is an update of my life.

though this is only the first day of year 4, i can already describe what this academic year is going to be like.. uncertain. currently juggling quite a few things with my two bare hands. regular modules, FYP, tuition and some other things that i don't feel comfortable stating on this platform. this feeling of uncertainty will for sure remain for quite some time. nonetheless, i really hope to have the strength and wisdom to pull through them all.

that aside, let's talk about the best show on earth currently.. "Game of Thrones". just watched the latest episode couple of minutes ago and man i just realised there are only two more episodes left in this season. the plot thickens and every episode gets better and better. so excited to know how this season will end in two weeks time and then how this series will end in next year's season.

with GoT coming to an end, it would mean one thing too. the other shows that i usually follow every year will kick off there new seasons really soon, with the bulk of them starting in late September and October. these shows will definitely give school days more purpose.. haha. until next time then, cheers.

strange waters

yes this is an update of my life.

bittersweet end to my internship and here i am resting a couple of days before wandering into the unknown of year 4. heard many stories and experiences from friends when it comes to doing FYP and completing the course of undergrad life. never really wonder how it would be like to really start and complete a FYP.. then it is happening. i am really amused at how time really past by so quickly. on to the final year doing an individual FYP.

many asked me if i ever consider further studies after these four years. maybe Masters or even PhD studies. well, my answer remains the same since the first time i was asked until today. i do not entire shut out those options. however, my primary aim after these four years would be clearing my school fees first and working a couple of years. i would very much to explore what is out there and what not.. hopefully in the course of doing so, chance upon some sponsorship or scholarship to add more motivation to further studies.

i don't jump before i learn to walk. i take on step at a time, only looking few steps ahead. so those are my plans for now. nonetheless, i have a FYP and undergraduate studies to focus on first for now. until next time then, cheers.
