this semester seems to be like running on overdrive for me. over the past 2 years in school, i've never felt of burnt out despite the fact that i was very involved in hall and in the ultimate scene.

maybe this is how it feels when i actually study and do my work promptly, took me way too long to realized that workload in school is heavy eh? haha. i've even been less involved in ultimate these days to make time for the school work and the rest of my things.

the upcoming photo exhibition at the end of the month is taking up a lot of my time and energy, spent the whole day from like 11am running around places to grab prints and other stuff. had to rush back to school for a meeting for the exhibition and then rush to training in school after that. i was like so tired when i got back to hall, i just sat at the bench at the common area and fell asleep there. talk about getting burnt out. hah

another long day tmr. zzzzz

January was a pretty topsy-turvy month for me, such that i don't even know when to start writing from.

start of the month was pretty smashing after going to christmas, new year and a week into the new year, i reach the time of the year when i reach the big two-five. so now that im a quarter-century old, everyone up on C4 is making a big fuss out of it although they're ALL only a year younger than me (less guoan, ben and eric). but well, i've always enjoyed getting older, every year i feel more accomplished than the previous and feel like im ready for more up in the year ahead.

thinking about being 25, i realized a list of things that i can probably do now, or i realize that it's happening as im 25:

• i can now no longer call myself a young adult, for the fact that i can use the word "century" when im describing my age
• i know that my quarter-life crisis is going to come soon
• thumper and similar clubs are going to have to let me in now (provided i go there)...
• .... although i should start chilling at bars now instead
  
• im now 5 years older than the year 1 girls now
• im going to be 6 years older than the girls that are coming into NUS next year....
• .... and it'll be perfectly fine for me to date girls who are 7 years younger than me :p

and the list will just keep going on and on and on....

something im amazed at myself for this sem was that i rarely missed lessons and i actually found time to do some revision every week, or at least until the chinese new year week, where the cycle was broken and i find myself starting to have backlog in my work. and i never really liked CNY anyway, for the fact that i have a very small extended family and everything is like closed during the whole period.

at the same time as the backlogs started to pile up, work for my photo exhibition at the end of february went full steam ahead and yes, i've piled up even more work from before and the trainings of my various IHG sports really didn't help the whole cause.

even as i sat down one of the nights to plan my time, i realize that i have close to no time for myself, all the meetings, assignments, revisions, trainings, jam sessions, hall events, shoots, you name it, i probably did it in january, maybe i should have taken out the revisions out to make more time for the other stuff, NOT :p

sometimes i really hate myself for wanting to do so much and not being able to priortize. i know some people find it hard to believe that im doing so much that some of them think that im talking big, i don't blame you guys, sometimes i take a step back and look at what im doing in life, i don't believe it myself either. haha.

february now, still busy, but at least i have a bit of breathing space now, im left with 1 IHG event after a tremendous result at touch and a result on the opposite end of the spectrum for basketball, now i just have to concentrate on my assignments and my long awaited photo exhibition which all of you guys who are reading are coming for!

hope feb will be fine~

the scene of me making that last 3-pointer right at the buzzer but still losing by 1 is going to replay in my head for a long while.

something unthinkable actually happened, losing IHG Basketball in the prelims. seemed like something that's not possible considering our squad. guess that's why almost everyone is in an inconsolable mood now.

i didn't even realize that this is my first update in more than a month. it's been a really hectic, or rather, frantic month full of school work, photo exhibition work, trainings and shoots. glad that everything is settling down now already although im getting myself into a very big project very soon. but the monetary return might just soothe the stress that's going to come when i start that project.

more updates on a later date. time to sleep and watch the scene on repeat in my head...
