Happy Daez

I don't know why, but a new-found optimism has started to set in lately. Not that everything is all rosy and nice at the moment. But yet, something lingers inside, telling me and informing me about my right to be confident and proud of who I am... Warning: Sustainabilty - Hope this optimism lasts for the rest of the year.


I think the project work with the kids of Mayflower Secondary School has done me some good. Make me empowered, make me feel that I can make a change, make me feel I can make a difference, make me feel young again... All the work we go through week-in and week-out, but I feel it shall all be worth it at the end of the day. I really hope that what we do would be meaningful for the kids. Hard work it might be - but I'm actually enjoying the process. A big shout-out to all my fantastic team members - fantastic rapport, support and friendship (+ plus some of my crappiness).

Ethics class might have made me hate philosophy, but a small dosage of philosophy is always good for anyone. Opens your mind. Makes you rethink about the life you live in. Makes you re-assess your own significance in the world. Trying not to get too existential here. Hate it but glad I know more about it.

The Bad:

Thesis to go - unmotivated to even open the word doc. to look at it. But it has to be done. But like I always say: There's always tomorrow right? Hope I work it out by this week.

Lack of exercise: I need to move my body + I want a tan. Will squeeze time out to visit the pool or do some running this week.

Lack of sleep: Slept without a alarm clock beside my bed for the past two days. Hope that makes up for the inadequate amount of sleep for the past week.

Kept in the dark. My MNO teammates had a meeting last Friday and I wasn't informed... Apparently, someone tried calling me on my mobile on Friday but I didn't pick up? Huh? The meeting was on Friday and you call me only on Friday? Can't you drop me an SMS? Presentation is tomorrow and they are meeting at 12 pm tomorrow to run through the programme. I wasn't informed (again) until late this evening. I don't know what's happening but I keep getting left in the dark for the class. I'm an outcast? What did I do wrong? Whatever!... I just do what I have to

The Good:

Dinner with the CNM peeps. Really good to see all of them again. Don't get to see most of them since I'm in my fourth year. Things might not have been all lovey-dovey for the past year, but looking back, I do treasure these people.


Ali's B'day dinner and "Music and Lyrics" (unexpectedly nice show): Sorry, no present for you yet. Give me some time. Trust me... this will be a good year for you. Love, career, cash... Don't worry - I will always be older than you. So you can't be that old. And I will always be younger than Marcus. So we can't be that old either.

(Wanted to put your B'day pic here but I lost the cable from my handphone to the comp.)

Ok lah. Nothing else to say liao. Hope I wake up on the right side of bed tomorrow and everything will be as smooth as tofu...
