Weekends feels like weekdays

By sharityreddy -

The weekend was really hectic I could hardly breathe. And yet, the upcoming busy week looks equally daunting as well.

Track Finals was held on Sat in which it took up my whole morning but I would say, it left a huge impact and memory for many years to come because I experienced the true meaning of fighting spirit. Being the last runner of the 4x400m event, there was tremendous pressure on me because firstly, I didn't really liked being the last runner and secondly, I was supposed to overtake someone. While we didnt start off well during the event, as I took off with the baton being the last runner, all that came to my mind was to finish the race and at least, shorten the gap. Never did I expect after 300m, i managed to catch up with this runner and it was really challenging to overtake her because I was pretty tired at the end. Naturally, she sped up as well but this little voice in me told me to overtake her. And yes, I looked like I was in pain and thankfully I managed to overtake her at the finishing line, just 0.1sec faster than her. I guess this will be something for me to remember for many years to come. Overall we did well and congrats to 4x800m for coming in 4th.

Then I had to rush off to shower, change and head off to Tamp for our Japan Trip Meeting. Thankfully it got pushed back to next year because I can't even squeeze in a holiday this year (THIS IS CRAZY). Then my errands begun. Had to buy an extra white blouse, passport photo, photocopy all my certs. But it was a good catch up seshhh, eating nitrogen ice cream and catching up Ren Jie who MIA-ed since he booked in. Finally reached home and managed to spent some time talking to my mum. :)

Today (Sunday) was equally busy. Got started on my project but no one replied so I guess we'll have to chiong tomorrow after class! :/ And then I had to go off for my tour. It was a tiring but fulfilling one today and glad we all became really comfortable in our speeches! (maybe we can become experts next time? 😌) Didn't really do much work at home too 'cos had to settle and update FB page, websites OMG, continue sending out applications for internships etc.

So not prepared for this week but let's get through it well. To the start of Februray, to the start of a better month ahead :)

first day at NTU HALL 10- single room

By sharityreddy -

Today is the first day I have officially moved in to stay at hall.... I'm feeling excited, sad and nervous yet at the same time. It's the first time I'm separated from my family(i mean physically), so I feel quite lonely. Yet, at the same time, I'm also looking forward to a fun hall life where I can meet new people and participate in new activities as well. However, the issue of having to earn points to continue to stay at hall stresses me out. I'm at NTU business, so I have only 3 years to complete my modules, instead of 4. Having to join hall activities, join committees etc means i have to plan my time very well. Nevertheless, I hope I will have a good stay at HALL 10 & I will be able to make lots of  new friends.   This is my single room - desk area and wardrobe are on this side of the room this is my bed I'm not sure on how to weigh the pros and cons of having single or double room, but it's really up to one's preferences.

Mid-week November thoughts

By -

  It's been a while since I blogged and feeling a little down today, I've decided that I should pen down  my thoughts. Just realised I'm long overdue from my Chiang Mai Trip post so I shall do it up ASAP. Also, recently been back from Taiwan, and with all these memories still fresh in my mind, I shall do a separate write-up on the trip as well. Back to the reason why I decided to blog today, so many great things happened over the course of 4 months. Mostly great and awesome, but with the year ending soon, I am starting to feel a little sentimental, especially with all the great moments spent at work (ironically). Although my current internship has created so many fantastic memories to date, I can't help but lose a bit of steam with the recent spate of events. Now that Dec is approaching, it has finally dawned  upon me that I should start looking for a grad job, and start planning my school timetable... So many thoughts going through my head right now, but most o

Off to Taiwan (Part 2) - Taipei!

Continuing on our trip from Hualien, we then headed off to Taipei to embark on another adventure.  Off to Taipei!!! This post will only mention some of our highlights during the trip, while a separate post will be dedicated to our 1-day trip to Jiufen and Shifen.  My friend and I spent most of our time walking around the streets and taking the public bus in Taipei, while soaking up the local atmosphere. From grocery shopping to exploring the neighbourhood, we walked non stop. Some of our highlights in Taipei City included our experiences at Ximending, having delicious bowls of beef noodles, Xiangshan, Taipei 101, Night Markets and visiting Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf.  At Ximending : In contrast to the many shopping malls near Taipei 101, we decided to explore Ximending (~3 times) where the vibes of youthfulness can be felt. Noted that it is crowded with many youngsters, there is also a cinema, arcade and a baseball batting cage where we were keen on visiting. Addition
