Hey

I miss writing on here. So, just a random, no-topic blog? :D

I have been extremely lazy, and I have a ton of work to do. OK so maybe not a ton, but still I think the effects of IB have been more long-lasting than I thought - the facts that I can only work properly after midnight, and I am still as last-minute as ever, show a lot. Or maybe it's just me being lazy. Heh.

I think I'll take up swimming quite seriously. 3 times a week, and I will swim quite intensively for the period of 1 hour 30 minutes. Since I haven't been dancing :(((, I need a physical activity that will not bore me to death or cost me too much money and awkwardness (i.e. the gym), swimming is a good choice (plus, it's free, due to some undisclosed reasons :p). My swimming techniques suck, but well, all of my techniques suck anyway. I will try to improve, but I'm not born to do physical activities.

What else? So much work for TEDx, and yet I still want to get a job. I've been putting it off though, and I'm not sure whether I will ever get one. But we'll see.

I need to stop focusing so much on my life right now since my family is kind of in a chaos right now. It's not that big of a deal, really, but it keeps me from putting the spotlight on myself asking for this and that (which also cost money which I don't really like asking that often).

Talking about money, I've been looking through NUS' accommodation (there's a chance of 80% I'll go to NUS FASS, 15% to NTU Communications, and 5% to College of Wooster (US, with the whole money situation thing-y), and DAMN why is it so expensive? I know that it's cheaper than living outside, but I desperately need a single room, yet it will cost $1000 less to live in a double room. Haiz. NTU's accommodation is way cheaper, and I'm not sure how to handle the situation right now. While we're on this, I kept on missing deadlines for applications to stuffs in NUS - USP (whose deadline was extended so I still submitted one yay), UTown (which brutally closed their application page already), and probably a bunch of other things I haven't remembered, but when I do, the deadlines will be over. My junior said it's a sign, and I just laughed. But who knows?

I have been playing GTA on my phone a lot, and it pisses me off because the touchscreen is so annoying.

I think I will continue my Spanish classes after the beginner's course is finish.

I think I will end this random post of random thoughts now. Good night. :)

It's another New Year!

If you know me, you know that I don't usually do new year's resolutions. Because what is time but a social construct? Like ok, I see the point, and if it helps to motivate people into doing things, good for them. But I've never been the kind of person that is able to follow through with something if I plan them too rigorously. But then again, now that I'm 5.5 years into the corporate life, I realise that planning is important, and not even for the kind of big picture capitalist goals/visions/missions thing that companies do, but even for the day to day kind of work, because of how technologies have created this need to be super 'efficient' and 'productive'. Sometimes I wish that writing a blog post like this could be considered 'productive' as well in this capitalist world, because then I may be more motivated to write more than one post per year. Remember the time that I wanted to write one blog post per week and I wrote like 5 posts? Lol. Anywa

Life in quarantine

Ah hello, it's been a while. Not that anyone visits this blog anymore lol. But it's still good to be able to write things out some time. So we're entering the third week of lockdown here in Singapore. Yes it is a lockdown despite what the formal term is. And me, being a good citizen and law-abiding non-Singaporean, is staying at home. Thank you e-commerce and delivery services (as well as frontliners and health workers, of course). It's interesting to see how things are panning out, at least from the way people are reacting to this. For me personally, I really don't mind being at home for most of my week, but I do enjoy the very rare trips to the convenience stores nearby or just to check my mails downstairs. I've grown increasingly lazy to even go out to a supermarket and buy actual grocery - luckily my roommates will be happy to help. Generally I do feel that people are frustrated because they don't have a choice - das ist nicht freiwillig! (Yes I
