Holiday week 2

Time really flies by when you're enjoying yourself, I'm not even kidding.

My holidays now consist of hanging out with friends, taking odd jobs, spending hours on the Internet, and sleeping. It's bloody awesome. Dad told me that I shouldn't slack off too much though, I might get used to it. But the truth is I already am used to it hahaha.

Let's just hope my exams results turn out okay so I can finally step into the working life, slacking off like this may be fun and all but I ain't getting any younger :(

Girlfriends semester is ending soon too! 

Habits

Today is finally the end of all my projects. And it is also the first day I begin my revision for all my upcoming tests. Didn't work out very well though since I literally spend 70% of today playing dota with zakir and haidar. But I guess I'm not doing that bad seeing that most of my schoolmates barely began as well hahha.

Yesterday I spent my night hanging out with Sean and Melvin. Brings back certain memories really. They were shocked that me and Shermane were already talking about marriage though, although they are both currently in longer relationships than i am they never rly talked about things like that. But I don't think I'm rushing it though? I don't say this often online because I don't think there's a need to but I really do love this girl (I still have much to learn though). Isn't it normal to wanna marry someone you love? 😅

Anyway, exams are almost over.  And I know Shermane can't wait to get to "happier days" as well. Guess we'll both just have to slog it out till November huh!

This was the first photo shermane took with my new phone. It's kinda pretty isn't it? Maybe it's because I see it almost every week I forget how beautiful it looks from someone else's point of view.

Schools out

So yesterday was me and Shermane's 8th month. It also marks my official last day of classes (if I don't fail any mods that is.) Now all that's left is one proj and four papers nd I'm good to go! Seriously can't wait for my project to be over so I can go full on mugger mode again. Well not really, but the thought of having all the time in the world to myself until result arrive after my papers is pretty enticing. All I have to ensure now is that my results won't be disappointing hahah

I know this isn't exactly a glam picture of you but I'm really glad you came into my life this year. Let's work hard together to survive the rest of 2016! 😆😆😆

Two projects and four papers to go

It's been awhile since I've last visited this place. Been kinda busy with my schoolwork although that's coming to an end soon too.

I'm already starting to plan my itinerary on what happens after my last paper ends. Oh gosh there's so many things I want to do but I guess they'll have to wait.

Really thankful that God has been kind to me this week. Thinking back, a lot of things has changed just one year ago hasn't it? I've made so many new friends, found myself a loving girl, and I even got to learn to many new things! I really hope 2017 continues to be awesome till the end hohoho!!

Who knows? Maybe one day I'll look back and actually miss the days where I took naps in empty classrooms.

Half a semester left

There's only half a semester left to go, yet I still somehow am unable to get my head in the game.

For some weird reason, I have somehow managed to survive my SM test despite barely knowing much about that subject, or any other subject for that matter.


I'll be having my b2b test next Tuesday, and somehow I get so stressed out every time I try to study I decide to play overwatch instead. Urgh. Seriously I just want this hell to end quickly so that I can go on to do things that makes me happy :(

Also, there's this zika virus thing going around on the east side. Sighh.. Guess the following months ain't gonna be easy huh.

Cowardly thoughts

Everyday, for the past few days I keep reminding myself that "this too shall pass." "I need to overcome this in order to take care of the ones I love." "I am stronger than this."

It's interesting really. How half a semester managed to shatter all the confidence I've garnered so far the moment i set foot into RMIT. Have I lost my steel? Am I too drawn to distractions that I have forgotten what it was like to be under stress?

It is a few hours away from my first test this semester. It's only 15% of one of my modules but somehow I feel inclined to perform well for this one but whenever I start reading my notes, my mind just drifts off to someplace else. Somewhere more comforting, somewhere where I can continue hiding in my little bubble of thoughts. Game of thrones, pokemon go, overwatch.. Cowardly, distraction thoughts and activities appear at every corner when the going gets tough huh.

I have to bear through this. And not only do I have to do it I have to do well. Because there's no room for failure this time, not when I'm on my final lap before I graduate from here.

I can't believe the "phonecall sleep therapy" didn't help me this time around. Someone please save me from my insomnia.  

My shoulder is popping again.

Was about to fall asleep after a night of studying when I suddenly felt a light "pop" on my left shoulder when I moved it. This seemingly random action brought me back to a certain time when I truly enjoyed my days in school. Granted, i wasn't enjoying the parts about studying. But I had a great time with the friends I made back then.

I remember how a bunch of us would stay back in school till it got dark to play block catching. We would find nice hiding spots to avoid being detected by the "catchers" instead of running from them most of the time though. The best spots were the ones where you could have a good view of your surroundings without them actually spotting you; when you find a spot like that, you'd normally witness some funny events like your friend running for his dear life while a horde of catchers chase after him as if he was carrying a billion dollars.

I remember how I was so fond of climbing back then. And that was also how I "sprained" my shoulder. Not from falling from a great height, but by holding on to some railings wrongly while I was trying to vault up a staircase.

Ah, I really miss those days where my biggest worries in school were about when I was gonna get caught by catchers instead of project deadlines and tests. On hindsight, I believe that I've never really had to work hard for anything up till now. But this semester is different, it's definitely the hardest semester I ever have to go through, and yet somehow my head still isn't fully in the game. Time to put in a little more effort I guess. Then I can rest all I want after that :)

I have a good life, with more resources than some of my peers. But ultimately my lazy attitude is going to be the death of me.
