You know, what they say about life...
Never, ever, make the same bloody mistake twice.
And I'm damn sure I would not make a similar mistake again. It is just that, 20 years down the road, when I look back at my own life, I wonder if I will ever regret the decisions I had made.
Oh well...life...
It is so complicated.

Damn Blogger.
The loading speed can be so freaking slow sometimes.
Anyway, just a short blog before I hit the pillow. Gosh, I am bloody tired.
Oh well, when was the last day when I wasn't tired?
Back to the point. School has resumed for more than a week. And no doubt this module, Asian Media and Global Communication, is an interesting one. It helps when the lecturers are very much well-versed in their knowledge and have many interesting videos to share.
But what is not so helpful is this: imagine having 8 lectures spreaded over 2 weeks. And the next thing you know, there is a test that consists 50% of the marks of the whole module, with the other half taken up by an essay assignment of 2,000 words due in another 2 weeks.
Alright, I won't bitch about the essay cause I don't really think it is that bad. But how the hell do you sit for a test that takes up half of your total marks for the module after only 2 weeks of lecture?
What's worse, normal exams usually takes up 60% of the total marks. But normally you get at least a month of learning before taking the exam.
Balls to you if you tell me it's only a 10% difference. Yes, it's ONLY 10%, but 2 weeks more makes a bloody lot of difference!
Sighx...and it's not like the amount of work in my job is getting any lesser. I need to get a "Overworked and Underpaid" tie to wear soon.
Looking forward to the end of Thursday. Going on leave on Friday and Monday in preparation for the 50% test. Really hope to do well, and really hope that my table will not be swamped with documents when I go back to work on Tuesday.
Ok, I need to sleep. Sometimes, I feel I'm deprived of all the basic human needs.
*it is not because I remember, it is because I can't forget*

[[2008]]
It is a new year already.
And I am damn amazed how fast everything is happening.
Life just goes on and on, even though a lot of memories of the past seemed only like yesterday.
It is so hard to believe that I am already 22, going to 23 in less than 6 months. The initial fear of stepping into the working society still lingers now and then.
Life is starting to come up with different priorities and responsibilities. The journey to achieving some can be really fruitful, while the road to the end of others seemed really arduous.
Everyone seems to have wishes and resolutions for every new year. Of course, I didn't forget to extend my best wishes to those friends who sent me their blessings.
I do have my own wish list, though whether they are realistic or will come true, that's another matter altogether:
1) Do well in my studies.
2) More rest time.
3) Lighter workload. (getting too much work to handle recently. It's getting inhumane)
4) More rest time.
5) Higher pay! (though I think my pay now isn't all that bad now)
6) More rest time.
7) Extension of social circle. (I'm not begrudging my friends, but you know, knowing more people increases the chance of [see next point]...)
8) Finding a girlfriend. (note: I am not desperate. I can do without one for the foreseeable future, but I suppose it won't really hurt to have one, right?)
9) More rest time.
10) Getting into a better shape. (instead of getting into a round one)
11) More rest time.
I am pretty reasonable, ain't I?
