the write way
yes this is an update of my life.
accomplishing tasks set forth for myself bit by bit at a time. these couple of days been writing up the module reviews for my 4th and final year. yes, the title of this blog post is somewhat a lousy pun created by yours truly at 1am. catchy.. that's the point.. i hope.
so yes, module reviews. will be doing them in similar formats like those i have been doing for the past few years. well except for ST4199 which is essentially statistics students' FYP module. this is rather tricky and thus i had to adjust the format and what not. nonetheless, fret not, rest assure i will still try to make it as informative as possible. in fact i have written the first draft of it minutes ago. need a break from writing those reviews.. hence here updating.
i will release all of them at one shot once i have done writing all of them. i foresee myself completing and uploading them as early as end of this week. until next time then, cheers.

R vs L
yes this is an update of my life.
okay finally had the energy and time to do a proper update. Sunday morning 2am was at Tampines Hub with couple of friends to catch the Champions League final. as some might know i am also a fan of Real Madrid. i wanted to watch this finals not only because i supported one of the finalists but come on, if it is an annual cup final that could not be missed it would be the one and only Champions League final.
Real Madrid defeated Liverpool in a convincing 3-1 win. there were so many moments that made the entire game so worth watching.. Salah's injury, ball hitting crossbars, Bale's first goal, Liverpool keeper's fatal mistakes.
all in all i felt that Liverpool played very well but only in the first half. they could have really capitalised on their great movements and possessions to convert into goals. well, they didn't which honestly might be because Salah's exit after 30 minutes. Liverpool has been building up a lot of things around him.. but when Lallana came in, it was evident the the fluidity crumbled a little. Liverpool clearly worked on set pieces but Real Madrid could not even get a proper corner done right. nonetheless, patience paid off in the end. Real Madrid did not push as hard as usual in the first half.. they waited and waited before making use of new legs in second half to show their dominance.
one thing everyone is talking about is Salah's injury as a result of Ramos's fatal tackle/fall. a very experience and big-built defender against a hungry and fresh striker. Salah slotted his arm under Ramos's left armpit was an error he would remember for life. yeah tussling is usual but putting his arm there is as good as putting it into a lion's mouth.. you risk being injured since in a tussle it might be difficult to retreat your arm. true enough.. as the tussle began Ramos lost his footing and fell, tugging Salah's arm down and dislocating his shoulder. was it on purpose on Ramos's end? i would say looks like it.. but being experienced among the two i think he was "capitalising" on how Salah slotted his arm there to take him down like this.
was an amazing atmosphere and game throughout.. thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hours there. 3 consecutive years of being number one in Europe. i think no club would ever beat this record. yesterday morning's tuition was a torturous session with lack of sleep.. but managed to repay some sleep debt in the afternoon. woke up to day for a jog before a decent breakfast.. whew.. countdown 2 weeks to being a working adult. until next time then, cheers.

run and write
yes this is an update of my life.
so yesterday i had my final motorbike practical "module".. the most expensive one yet.. it is $55 per session. naturally, i hope to be able to clear on the first try so as to avoid paying the $55 multiple times. the feedback given by the instructor seemed to me that we were doomed to pay for another session. however, i managed to pass. woohoo.. well too bad TP test is still far considering that my RTT is only on the 30th of June. ohh wells, i rather arrange my own practices and what not until that date. the stressful practical lessons are over.
moving on, i can start to focus on other more pressing things. with motorbike practical lessons cleared, i have significantly more amount of free time before i start being a working adult.
the first would be exercising more regularly. with the deadline to clear my IPPT in the current window looming over my head, i ought to get this annual burden done as soon as possible. have been running and doing static workouts more frequently.. haha. cant take money through incentives must of course try to take.
the next would be writing up the module reviews. this tradition is into its final phase.. where i write about the modules i read. graduating already.. no more writing of such reviews soon though i find it rather enjoyable to do so. well, no more of such writing until i continue to further my studies of course.. something which is really really probable.
i am quite sure there are more things that require my immediate attention.. but let's just focus on these for now. until next time then, cheers.

the offer
yes this is an update of my life.
been surprisingly busy over the last few days. i guess this is the "good busy" kind of thing. so am going to touch on the couple things that got be rather occupied over the last couple of days.
motorbike lessons. well, this should not come as a surprise. i am hoping to clear the last practical module before i start work. though there will be an awkwardly long wait between that and the real TP test. guess i will have to schedule personal practical practices in between. really cannot wait to clear and get my 2B license, hopefully by this year.
catching up with close friends. well yeah seeing everyone my age and what not entering into the next phase of life.. catching up and being more carefree come to mind of course. through the years i am glad i have filtered out redundant dead weight "friends" and only choose to keep in contact with those that really matter and show that our friendship matters. so yes going out getting fat as well.
bank. have to start clearing college loans soon plus i need to get a new account to cater to my work life in the near future. so have been busy reading up and planning to head down to the bank to settle some issues.
job hunt. the biggest and most important thing i leave it to the last. got an offer from a place i really want to work at.. in the midst of making it official. in the process of coming to this decision, i actually consulted my Instagram followers on a dilemma. between the two, which would you choose: "good pay, mundane", "bad pay, fun place". i expected a split but never did i expect a near 50-50 split. in the end the latter triumph by a couple percent more only. well, nonetheless, this current offer is a fun place and a decent pay for entry level i guess. fingers crossed. until next time then, cheers.

double passes
yes this is an update of my life.
today is a good day. tiring but a good day. filled the day with motorcycle classes.. one practical and the theory internal evaluation. practical class was going through the test route on the public road. previous practical lesson was already on the public road but that time it was in the evening, hence the significant lower number of cars and a more cooling ride. the practical lesson today was so different.. roads were so much more crowded and the sun is blazing. nonetheless i was glad i passed on the first try on this "module".
yeah, based on the title of this post, you should have guessed it was well.. the internal evaluation went well too.. i passed with 94%, slightly above the 90% passing requirement. sadly, the RTT earliest date is 30th June. fingers crossed i can clear it in one try. until next time then, cheers.

insane weather
yes this is an update of my life.
currently waiting in agony for the last paper of my undergraduate life to take place at 5pm. i say agony for two reasons. first, the wait is torturous. i feel as though i am more of the cannot-be-bothered-anymore rather than well-prepared. my CAP cannot really change much from her on out anyway hence that mentality. turning up for the finals is more or less go through motion kind. second, the insane weather is putting me in great agony. hot nights with hotter days. the air is so hot and humid these few days that i cannot really tell the difference between my health weakening or just my body responding/adjusting to the temperature around me.
cannot wait to head back home and rest for a while before having to head to a potentially challenging interview/assessment. shan't really talk much on that for now other than keeping my fingers crossed throughout. until next time then, cheers.

lousy weekend
yes this is an update of my life.
well, yeah the past weekend was shit. came down with fever on Saturday morning. went to the doctor and learned that if was due to a bacteria throat infection that cause my head to burn up. funny thing is i never fall sick due to bacteria in my throat in the first three years of my university life. only in this final year, i had this similar situation twice.
the first one was last November where my throat bacteria infection progressed to middle ear infection. now the throat bacteria infection led to fever. both times i was seen by the same doctor. in the first case i asked what caused it.. he remarked that the air i breathe might be the cause. well that makes tons of sense. only in this final year.. there is this particular asshole who loves to smoke in his/her room. almost everyday i will smell that stench and quickly close the window.
nonetheless, who knows when the smoke entered my room when i was sleeping, resulting to me taking in all the toxic. well, only need to endure two more days with such inconsiderate people. back to current situation, my body is still warmer than usual but not fever. throat still feels dry. me feeling warmer might be due to the terrible weather as well.. not sure. ohh wells, just hope i can recover by tomorrow. until next time then, cheers.

truth potato #10
onto the 10th instalment of Truth Potato from the Bored Panda website. actually i came across a similar quote to this quite some time ago.. i am pretty sure i brought this up previously as well. nonetheless, here goes again.
truth hurts but it is worthwhile. if someone treasures you he/she will never give you the excuse of being too busy to meet you or spend time with you. even having a listening ear for you counts as well. if you mattered to them, they will find the little slots in between their daily schedule for you. i do that for those whom i treasure. while i might not always be the one to initiate, i never blow those whom i treasure. even if in the case one of you is busy, set another date.. leaving the possibility of meeting up hanging is kind of.. silly. well that would probably hint you all aren't as close or as eager to catch up. so yes, something that i will always make note to myself.. no one worth keeping would ever keep using "busy" as an excuse.

truth potato #9
what an interesting perception highlight in this instalment of Truth Potato as taken from the Bored Panda website. in short, your life is your life.
at the end of the day, choices you make determine your path. people may try to push you, run you over or boost you.. but at the end of the day whether you let them to do so is really up to you. on another note, remember not to be too focused on how other people might react or think about you.. all in all, if you aren't comfortable in your own skin, what is the point at all. life is a solo trip surrounded by people and what not but you are your own driver.

rule of third
yes this is an update of myself.
i find myself literally waiting for finals to end this semester. yeah, waiting, no studying for it or what.. probably due to the fact that i realised i cannot really alter my current CAP by much even if i were to score very well. so might as well enjoy that little bit of freedom.. sort of rewarding myself for the hard work i placed into my CAP over the past few semesters lol.
tomorrow will be my first final paper and my second/last paper will be on Wednesday.. gosh what a drag. the anxiety has not kick in yet.. to be honest i wonder if the anxiety will kick in this time run.
outside school stuff, today was a good day. finally cleared my class 2B circuit assessment after the 3rd try. what a coincidence.. 3rd try on the 3rd of May. this "module" was known to be the most problematic and difficult to clear. finally got it done. unfortunately, my past hopes of getting 2B before i start work are gone. i just realised the waiting time for the theory test and the TP test. ohh wells.. nonetheless shall treasure each lesson and each practice. until next time then, cheers.
