couldn't get myself to do work after dinner. it appears to be a rather chronic problem. nvm that. was thinking that i might as well blog since i can't get myself to do any productive work.
was trying to look back on what i've done this semester. it feels like a rather fast one so far. time zoomed past me. that's what i feel at least when compared to the previous semesters. in part i attribute it to the fact that i'm taking 4 core modules this semester. so many lab reports to rush after doing the experiments. and not to mention, the horrible 6 hours of back-to-back lectures on tuesdays and fridays.
but then, there are the things that make my life much more pleasant, no matter how marginal the effect may be. interestingly, one of them is the amount of singing i do. i seem to be singing a lot more. of course, not karaoke kind of singing. it's the singing on the way to school and in my room, along to the music from the speakers. although i do have to be careful with the former. on more than one occasion, i have been spotted (in fact, heard) by some stranger, who gives me an odd stare. heck it. and i like to sing those that i can't sing in karaoke. usually those songs from female singers or Adam Levine. lol. and thankfully for my good earphones, i don't get to hear my horrible falsettos =D
another thing is tennis. it's been a really long time since i picked up a tennis racket again. nowadays, what i do is simply watch tennis. turns out it helps. or maybe some other unknown factor lol. somehow, i really enjoy those lessons. really wanna continue on for tennis. though my reaction to the ball is still pretty bad. can never judge the movement of the ball properly. but it's really fun. and i get some exercise finally. haha. and working hard on practising my double-handed backhand. inspired by Andy Murray.
one more important one is my attitude or perspective or whatever you call it. i can't really define it well. haha. i'm not so obsessed with mugging like hell. lol. sometimes i just take some time to do some other stuff like reading some books, go for a swim. simply put, spending time not doing work. i realised i have this bad habit of not being chill enough. it occurs especially when i'm waiting for transport. i'll be thinking like "time is being wasted while i'm waiting. i could have been spending this precious time studying." haha but i must say that's not the reason why i get mad at people that make me wait while they're late. but well, in any case, nowadays, i've found the solution to these two problems. i'll be reading BBC news on my phone while waiting or simply reading a book. some random book. lately, the books i read range from books on the history of the elements (geeky) to autobiographies (Andy Murray, Subhas Anandan). and i've started watching Big Bang Theory again. never fail to make me laugh. probably one of the few US shows that can make me watch so many seasons.
and of course, the songs in my iPod. can never leave home without my iPod, apart from a few rare occasions. suddenly have quite a lot of new additions and i'm damn addicted to some of them. after watching Kylie Minogue's concert, i started listening to her songs. and instantly, i got hooked to some of them. interesting, i have 3 versions of her song, Get Outta My Way and they're receiving a lot of play counts on my iPod. and Kelly Clarkson's album officially came out yesterday and it's amazing. loads of good songs there. so there you have it, great music for me.
well, now i'm slowly trying to learn how to appreciate the good things that happen to me. as much as i still subscribe to my theory of "number of good days=number of bad days in my life", i guess should still appreciate the good ones. so that when the bad ones come, i'll have something to look forward to.
ok i feel more inspired to do work now. maybe take a shower first then. and will continue to sing in my room lol. good thing that my brother has enlisted and i get the room to myself. =D
