work life balance

Its my 3rd day at work today. By the time i reached my room its already 815 and i havent had dinner. Everyday in the morning i had to get out of my room by 8am and basically the life repeats itself. I wonder if this will be the working life after grad.

Life is repetitive, on one hand the internship im doing is interesting. The company do stuff related to developing renewable energy, CDM, carbon trading and all sorts and its exciting to be in the industry. Im still trying to absorb as much as i can everyday and i found something interesting to work on. The office environment is great, very flexible, very challenging but at the same time it takes up so much time. 1 hour to travel to work, another hour back. Thats my life. But from what i see from some colleague at work, they leave work later than me. god knows what time they leave the office.

Now i see the point of work life balance. means u have work and life balanced out.

That means if you have 24 hours a day, 12 hours will be your life. and the other 12 will be....obviously work !!

of the 12 hours of work, you obviously have to work + travel to work + lunch

of the 12 hours of "life", you obviously need to include dinner, breakfast, shower, prepare for work, sleep, shopping, laundry, and do whatever you want. Assume that you have more that you want to do which is the usual case for most people, then u might have to cut time off dinner, or breakfast, or less sleep for you....unless u choosing not to shower.

So most people end up having not much time for what they want to do.

wouldnt life be boring if its so repetitive?

waddup !

So waddup with the coming few weeks.

Exams. Its been half past study week in NUS and exams are starting on 25th which is next wednesday. After the 3rd paper on 2nd december i will be free for about a month before stepping into the final semester. exciting but scary at the same time, having the thoughts of no more exams are great but job hunting, loan repayment and the reality will hit hard.

Anyways, after paper on 2nd december, its gonna be slacking for a few days with a trip to Genting on the night of 4th dec. After which i have to rush back to start my internship. O yea, thats the internship i went for interview on tuesday and got it. so my december gonna be spent on this internship besides working on my FYP, but the good thing is both of them are somewhat related. Am glad that many things are falling into place right now. Im lucky :D

And plans for CNY already made, will be back home from thursday til the next sunday nite. its gonna be the longest CNY break i have had. I guess after CNY will be very busy with final FYP preps, exams prep, job hunting and mentally preparing for life.

Though am still hoping to go somewhere after grad, but seems like financially its not gonna be something big...that is if there is gonna be something.

Life is great. :D

kiasuness

After spending 3+ years in singapore, today is the only day i experience kiasu-ness to the max !

I just came back from a test. It was a final exam, 35% for one of my module. The prof mentioned that its a open book, open notebook, open laptop, open watever test. So it sounded scary at first but later the prof sent an email about the test timing and venue and other stuff, he specifically mentioned laptop are not necessary for the test in the email, which i think he bold it.

So this morning i happily (stupidly) not bring my laptop going for the test. Reaching the classroom it was ok until everyone who came in the 1st thing they do is switch on their laptop. Until i saw the class of 30 people with 29 laptops(u and me know who didnt bring his laptop)

ARGH !!

Am i just lacking the kia part of kiasuness or am i just pure dumb.

Anyways, with the laptop maybe there wont be much difference. but the feeling of im dumb coz i didnt bring it keeps coming back...

perhaps i could have gotten 2 or 4 more marks for the test with my laptop. who knows.

Interesting me

its always interesting to see some random videos and u wanted to share it with others. This one talks about the whole idea of such videos thats created to be shared.

And after watching the video i went to their website and checked out a few other videos i have watched previously. Probably something worth watching.

This is probably one of the best...

Did u know is a popular one.

Dove evolution is interesting to watch...about adverts.

Im not sure how true is this video about muslim demographics. But its interesting to see the stats.
