DJ Got Us Falling Sick Again

Is it just me or what? Why do I always fall sick when the holidays start?

Stupid me for shouting my throat out during the karaoke session on Monday. I didn’t know 6 hours of back-to-back singing aka shouting can have such disastrous effects. I just wanted it to be worth the money. Is that too much to ask for?

5 days have passed and I have not touched a single book related to studies. I feel so unproductive, lying on the bed or staring in front of my beloved laptop from day to night. I just have no energy to do anything. I can even barely walk on the streets without my body shivering vigorously.

Just when I’m mentally strong, I become physically weak. When will I only be able to focus completely on my well left-behind studies?

Young Again

Recently, I have been stressed up with the immense workload targeting me from all directions. The main thing is my studies which I have failed to cope up with ever since I had been tested with completing 4 assignments in 5 days. It was quite long ago, but I didn’t get the chance to chase all the tutorial works that I missed out till now.

And then just a week ago, I have been appointed as the Vice President of  UniSA Division of Business Taylor’s Student Group (TSG) after an official procedures of submitting a resume and going for an interview by Kelvin and Vernon. The past week was full of meetings because the new committee was still under the probationary period and every department is required to organise meetings so that they can come up with their proposals. By attending those meetings, I admit that I have lost touch with plenty of my tutorials and readings.

Finally what I have been waiting for has come, the holidays! Thank God we UniSA students have 2 weeks of study break compared to the 1 week break when I was still in Taylor’s.

And most of all, I managed to release a whole load of stress by making a move in solving a personal matter which have troubled me all these while. I am really proud of myself for gathering up the courage to face this matter where an average person would find it extremely difficult to do so. Although my problem is not completely solved, I have at least let go some of my suicidal concerns.

Just a few days ago, I have been telling Su Ling and Michelle Chin Yoke Peng (my new friend who shares the same name with my 5th aunt and also the facial appearance) that I realised myself looking older by 10 years after having a stare at the mirror. It was all those stress that was causing this. But today, I see myself young again probably because of the optimism filled within me.

A big change has just happened to me, and I’m glad that it did. I promise myself to keep my spirits high and push myself beyond the current limit!

Stuck in the Toilet Cubicle

After more than a month of pause from updating my blog, I finally get to write something “interesting”. For the first time in my life, I got locked up in a toilet cubicle at the University of South Australia City West Campus Hawke Building.

It started with me entering into a cubicle and realising that the door lock was not working too well. I thought to myself that it doesn’t matter because after all, I never experienced climbing out of a cubicle before like in the action movies. So I just twitched the lock and locked the door. After finishing what I needed to do, I turned back and tried to unlock the door.

As expected, it didn’t work! Oh like a dream come true. I know I was insane to celebrate locking myself in the cubicle. (I am out of my mind these days because of personal matters haunting me day and night.) Then I called my friend, Victor Lam to help me out by passing my school bag and jacket to him. After that, I started climbing by pushing myself up and jumping into the next cubicle while other people started staring at me.

Okay, story ended after I finished imitating Evelyn Salt! So much for trying to direct a movie named Smoke in relation to Salt.
