long hours again

yes this is an update of my life.

so i'm still in the midst of the mundane bidding for modules for the next semester. managed to get all the core modules i want without much trouble. that is a huge relief to me for a couple of reasons. one, like some of you might remember, the previous semester gave me a lot of headaches after i couldn't get two of the three core modules initially. two, this round the points needed for the core modules are dirt cheap, allowing me to save my points, considering i lost way more than needed the previous time. three, less headaches and worries of course, now i can focus on getting the remaining two modules int he next few days.

bidding and planning for modules can be a really a pain in the ass. yes, it is really unlike the lessons we get in JC or secondary school. those times we had the timetable fixed. the only freedom was to choose the subjects you wanted to take. now, i guess we get more freedom in choosing the modules and choosing the time. or at least the delusion with have those.. haha. i say it as a delusion because about half of the modules i take have a fixed lecture schedule. now, it isn't a big problem or an annoyance unless those are your core modules and that one is early morning the other is late afternoon. that makes a school day really long with unwanted breaks in between at times as well. ohh wells, can't do much about it anyway.

that's my face now actually. that's me whenever i am in the midst of bidding. but for today, there is another reason for that face. the drilling i have been hearing all day ever since i woke up today. hammering is annoying but drilling is a whole new level of annoying. i'm going crazy. my sleep was disruptive and now i am having an unwanted headache. ohh please.. may the renovation be over really quick.

anyway, it is going to be kind of a hectic for me this Sunday. that is the first day to check into campus residence if i don't want to pay extra. the extra fees aren't worth it anyway, considering i wouldn't stay over night on Saturday night. that day happens to be the last day of my winter holidays also. gosh, i hope i can move in everything i need on that day itself.

shall continue to watch the module bidding "stock market" as in continue to enjoy the rest of my day despite the noise pollution from the renovation. until next time then, cheers.

bid

yes this is an update of my life.

start of the year. near the start of the next semester as well. bidding woes are going to kick in coming this Monday. i really hope all will work up well. meaning me getting the modules that i intending to take without going through much of a trouble like last semester. last semester was a real pain in the ass while i was bidding for  the modules.

i remember myself at the start of life in NUS. i was pretty amazed by the bidding system. everything felt so new and cool. however, after a couple of semester of the mundane shit, i am apparently sick of it already. ohh wells, almost halfway through NUS. that is somewhat scary too. time is moving pretty fast even when you are not enjoying.

moving away from school, i have a week of holidays left. shall really make use of it by sleeping and chilling and hanging out. when semester starts, i wouldn't want to regret not sleeping enough or not having had enough fun time during this short winter break. so yeah, i can do this.. making full use of the remaining time to enjoy and slack. until next time then, cheers.

the same hope

yes this is an update of my life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR fellow blog readers. goodbye 2015 and 2016. spent countdown and the first few hours of 2016 with my favourite girl. came home to catch up on my sleep and though now it's evening, it feels like an afternoon to me. i think i slept too much to sleep again tonight at my usual timing.. lol.

no shit about the new-year-new-me though i always set certain resolutions for myself. i rather keep them to myself. but i would just like to reveal one of them. well, this one has been a resolution for almost every other year. whether it has been achieved, i cannot really decide but to me, i feel at times i failed to achieve completely. the resolution is to post more on this blog.. haha. posting more quality posts to be exact.. but like i said, i cannot judge if i managed to fulfil it. nonetheless, i think resolutions can be used as a motivation and a sense of direction.

so yes, don't be sad or disheartened if you cannot fulfil all of your resolutions. they are goals. they are hopes as well. see them as a destination. if not, see them as a motivation and a sense of direction to guide you in the next 12 months. all the best in whatever you do this year. most importantly, stay happy and healthy. until next time then, cheers.
