Music

I spent this afternoon searching for a music school. I later told my dad that I am going to learn the guitar and piano.

He said, "toes are laughing."
-__________-"
I wanted to remind him that he said the similar thing the other time I told him that I was going to sell my notes.

But whatever it is, I'm so excited! Finally! I've made the first step towards playing this ridiculously long list of songs I've compiled! Hopefully I'll progress from there onwards.

Chill leh!

And when I thought I could chill at home after gym today...

I got a job offer!

It was really random and extempore

I rushed down to Tanjong Pagar (!!!!! THAT PLACE AGAIN!!!!) and we met to discuss the jobscope and stuff. I was a lil hesitant taking it up because I'm still holding on to my current internship and a couple of pending ones. But I know the pending ones have the possibility of remaining pending forever and as the discussion lengthens, I knew I had to take it up, just because

1) He knows that I'm working in the day so its a take-home project. I do not need to work in the office. (YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

2) Its about law. To be specific, its white collar criminal law. The case seems interesting. And since its P&C, it makes it even more.... alluring!

3) Access to certain documents. I know I won't really be restricted in any ways if I work on this case, so its gonna be a bloody good learning experience (I hope!).

But the downside is...

Damn...I can never escape frm accounting, can I? Heaps and heaps of accounting terms. But thankfully, I understand the basic stuff...I reckon it will make the research a lil less painful. When I was browsing through the judgment, I saw IAS, FRS and stuff like that. OMG, weren't those which freaked me out 2 semesters ago! But its alright, as long as I do not need to do those journal entries and blah blah blah I should be able to survive.

And another downside of it is... I'll be working way more than before. Work in December was kinda slack but everything will be picking up in January. With this coming in, uh...my nights are more or less gone. So! I'm determined to quit the current one! Woohooo... ! Can rest more, can slack around, yet doing some work.

Its Saturday tomorrow, a day which I thought I was just going to chill just like I thought I would today. But, he gave me this stack of documents to read tonight... and another briefing tomorrow.

I'm gonna harness my supersonic reading skills and finish it up and save my supposedly restful weekend! I almost forgot the fact that life is not all about working!

I hope things will get better...
She is so clear of her directions, yet she is lost in the moment.

Wiped out

I never really believe in making New Year resolutions - because I believe in constant purposefulness.

But its always important to look back and understand, accept, learn and try being better.

Finally, I made an effort to clear up my cellphone's inbox as I was waiting for my parents to pick me up. My inbox was exploding with close to 1000 texts... and as I was deleting them, the somewhat familiar yet distant memories started flooding in. It pretty much wrapped up 2008. Everything seems clearer, and hindsight is definitely better than foresight.

Draining is the word to describe 2008. Looking back, I can't believe I pulled through the last 3 years. They have been the shortest yet most intensive years in my life. I've always thought that I won't be able to make it through another similar year, but it somehow happens even if its tougher. I guess thats how humans are - they somehow just suck it up and make it through if they have no choice. After awhile, you realize thats just the way it is and slowly, start making the best out of it.

2009 somehow feels intimidating. Nightmares after nightmares about NZ recently, I don't exactly know why too. I know its going to be a tough year ahead, that being due to various reasons. Yet its also another year worth giving a shot.

But before anything, I really, really, really think I have to give myself a break. I've been running on...I-don't-know-what for so long, I can't seem to stop. I thought I was wiped out in Semester 2 but it has been accumulating ever since. I'm just so excited about everything, wanting to give everything a shot (like the previous post) such that I perpetually feel tired. So...... ta-da! After gym tomorrow, I'll go home and chill.

For the next few days, I will avoid town and avoid reading. Chill out, outdoors and....rest.
