motivate me!

Miss Jolly and I

It's almost the end of this very crazy and busy semester.
I'm not sure if I'll take 3 subjects in another short sem next time.
It can be pretty exhausting, but it's all good now.

With just another 1 and a half more weeks to go,
soon I'll be having holidays again for 6 weeks. :)

Anyway, I'm running out of things to say... (joyce, motivate me!)

Well, it's been a happy 24th!

in betweens

I am so distracted.

Being up at this hour doing work just shows how much I've procrastinated. It always feels nice to work at night and it’s nicer when it’s late because the whole neighbourhood is sleeping and it’s very peaceful.

I cannot wait for next week to end. By then I’ll only have 3 assignments to complete. By the way, Wy Leong is coming home next Tuesday. *insert smiley face*

Okay, I think it’s time to sleep! I've completed my work for now.

Good night!

Midweek

It’s already the middle of the week and so far I’ve completed altogether 4 assignments including presentation. Now, there’s another 4 more to go. No make that 5! Just got a new assignment today but I’m not sure if we’ll be graded on that. Anyways, classes have been alright but there’s lot of cancelled classes recently. Boo. Well, boring stuff aside, so far I’ve been doing pretty well. Apart from being tired almost every other day, I think I’ve been coping fine. But I still need to learn to stop procrastinating when it comes to doing work and studying.

I’ve been thinking about something lately and today’s class made me ponder even more about it. It was Zan’s class and he made us watch another documentary. This time, it was on war photography. The photographers and journalists were asked why they joined the field they are in and to cut the long story short, along the way it made me wonder about the purpose of life. I’ve come across this many times before and coincidently (or not), last bible study was on this topic as well. Question is: what’s your purpose in life? More importantly, is your life making an impact? Or are you walking aimlessly through life without any direction? Do you just go through the daily routine just for the sake of it?

I hope I do not get caught up living a mundane life, and living it without a purpose. And like I once said, sometimes you get so caught up with life, you forget what it is all about. I’m at a point where I have to reorganize my priorities in life again. I wish it was simpler, but it’s not. Maybe, I am just too comfortable with life as it is now. Yeah, that pretty sums up my life lately. And I think I better end this post here before I digress any further.

Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed - and gazed - but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.


William Wordsworth

Horsie

Little horse pendant that I got from China.

I think that I've stopped thinking... when it comes to blogging. Inspiration left me ages ago. Anyhow, this is just a short update on how I've been doing. As for this new semester, I think I can barely find time for myself especially on weekdays. I wish weekends were 3 days long instead of 2. As the daily routine goes, I spend most of my time in college but they do not start at 8a.m. except for Wednesdays. There's no time to even rest before nightfall since all of my classes end in the evening. But thankfully, this is only gonna last for seven weeks. :) This is the second week of semester so there's only five more to go. This semester I have 8 assignments, 6 of which are presentations. One down, 7 more to go. This week has past me by quite quickly compared to last week. My handphone died on me yesterday so it looks like I just might have to get a new one soon. I know I still haven't posted pictures from my China trip. I should be posting up pictures next time here and on facebook when I'm free. The internet connection at home is just annoying.

Till next time, take care!

The Great Wall

This is not the best way to climb up the Great Wall.
But you can always try.

China

It feels as though my holidays has just begun but it's already coming to an end..
Boo! I really wished I had longer holidays. 3 weeks is too short.

Well, I spent 8 days in China and I got back 2 nights ago. My trip, how would I describe it? It was definitely the most tiring trip I've ever been to. There was just so much walking. But it was also enjoyable.. and the food, to my surprise the food was actually quite good. It was better than what I expected after hearing story of how bad their food can be. I've never eaten so many chinese meals in a row before but I won't complain since afterall I'm chinese anyway. Every meal was accompanied with chinese tea, Sprite and beer. :)

I went to many places, and to name a few I visited the Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City, Tian 'an men square, Great Wall (one in Beijing the other in Tian Jin) and after that my legs were aching the next day because of the great climb but I made it up to the top with the few others. Not forgetting, we did quite a bit of shopping too. We visited about 4 shopping complexes. Books here are very affordable, I got Cecilia Ahern's The Gift for RM10 and The Little Prince for RM12 which I got at one Uni. I got manicure for RM15 too. Well, I'm a city girl and I think I enjoyed shopping the most though I did not buy much.

Overall it was a very pleasant trip, and I think I won't mind visiting China again. More updates next time, I'm currently uploading the pictures. Beijing trip would have been better if I understood more mandarin and if Beijing wasn't so polluted. Scenery at the Summer Palace wasn't nice at all. But I thank God for the blue skies He gave us on the other days. I enjoyed the weather too. I miss the nice cool breeze blowing in my face. Pics next time!


p.s: I'm eagerly waiting for Saturday to come! (:
