Short term agenda.

Can you smell the fragrance of freedom? 

Well I do, definitely. :) As the clock hits 3.15pm yesterday, I saw the gate of liberty opening gradually in front of me. Two years, and that's it, all glory to the Cambridge now, time to worship the Bell-curve instead. It was two quick years indeed, well which year is not?  

I'm glad that I have the whole of today to stay at home after hitting the gym in the morning. Mainly cause my arms are really weak now and also I can take my own sweet time to tidy up the study table and all. I honestly starts to feel as though I've gotten best of all the worlds now; well almost all. Banana with oats and yogurt on the left, piles of worthless A level notes on the right, life is just about to get freaking awesome. And I hope this jubilant feeling do not fades away too soon before the legendary post-A-blues kicks in. But again I don't remember having any post-O-blues back then so maybe I will stay euphoric till idk when.:D 



And that's all the papers, assignments, tys, notes I dug out everywhere in the house. Thought that there would be more because I felt like I've studied a lot hmph. Halfway through I caught a glimpse of my dusty camera at the corner, hence explains the mass number of photos in this post. I was relieved to see the photos being mostly focused despite the incautious me forget to put it on Auto focus.:')

First and most definitely, no more geography. Gone all the volcanoes limestone landslides earthquakes; gone are the TNC NIDL NIE SEZ FTA NAFTA WTO. But again, I'm glad I chose geog over chem because it is a little more relevant to the world from my perspective. I do enjoy learning the process of urbanization and globalization. Which helped me realize that I am quite interested in human relations and behaviors, despite the vast memorization behind all those theories and examples. 

     


Next, I will pause any further studies on mathematics, for at least the next eight months. Again I doubt that I have to learn any further than those trigonometry and differentiation techniques in university. Ah but statistics maybe, since it's somewhat used in most realms. I like it when the things I learn is relevant to life, at least it doesn't make me feel like a fool not knowing what I am actually learning.



Followed by physics, I swear it's a great consolation for me because I have honestly never liked any science subject. I was bad at it, and I am still now. Thousands of dollars spent on tuition and I still do it the rigid way. I can't twist my mind nor apply the concepts. Despite so, I'm inclining to reading the biography of those great scientist and relevant theories, I believe that their brain cells probably mutated, leading them to think so far out of the box and come up with theories that changed as well as shape the world. Okay now physics sounds somewhat useful because it aids in understand the basic concepts behinds the renown theories. Just that bringing it anything closer to a life-long career it is an obvious no.

 Lastly in the past two years I was introduced to one, and only new subject, economics. Again it's interesting to learn and easy to understanding but when it comes to exams, the marks never appeared anything better than a C before. But it din't matter, I like economics, ( and I hope by saying I like does not equate to I must do well in it.) Since now that Bussiness administration is no doubt out of the picture, I will consider either sociology or economics, since both are under faculty of social science. Heh, econs made me feel a little smarter when I watch the Singapore budget 2012 earlier this year. I enjoy this part of growing up when you get to understand the world better. Which reminds me of this philosophical statement, " I think, therefore I am." True enough.


The next phase.

As I finally put all these mundane academical studies behind,it's time to make a simple catalog for the next eight months. In fact I have been fascinating about life after As way before the exam started. To simplify everything, there will be three main long term goals to achieve before life moves on to university education. :)


Primarily, I suppose I will have a lot of spare time for reading. I concede reading to be an important medium to discover more about the world, gain knowledge on global affairs as well as for self improvement. I hope there will be adequate time for me to feed on eight essential topics for the following months;
  • Dec;Photography   
  • Jan;Economics in life
  • Feb;World history
  • Mar;Religions
  • Apr;Wild life
  • May;Biography of reputed people.
  • Jun;Art and design
  • Jul;Philosophy 
Now that I have typed them out it seems overly ambitious but yeah, no harm having a plan in mind after all. And I also want to expand my knowledge on countries around the world too, and places of interest. Ahhhh it's possible, as Aristotle proposed the concept that We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then,is not an act, but a habit. It's time that I should develop some good life long habits. :')



Secondly, I see the strong need to brush up my photography skills and not let my thousand bucks camera turn into a decorative object in the house. ( On a side note that drop of sweat on my forehead is so obvious hahaha should have wipe it off but again it doesn't matter.) I hope there will be time for me to go around shooting every fortnight at the very least. Oh btw photography is such an expensive hobby hmph. Despite so I am going to embark on piano, yes as a nineteen year old I will start from sketch and one day I can then play my favorite piece on my own. :') 

Last but not least as the picture speaks for itself, I will continue my jog daily and strength exercise in the morning. I love exercising, oh yes it's a recently developed healthy habit too. Under the influence by, oh yes you know who. My  goal is to run a half marathon and of cause a full one someday yay,and of cause not to collapse and die afterwards. Everything starts small don't they? Together with the short term plan in sign up for pilate class, though I'm still searching for suitable time slot since I will be away the next two weeks. Ultimately my goal is to achieve a slim fit body under the positive (I suppose?) influence on countless fitblr hohoho. Never achieve anything in life before and this is just the right chance to train some determination and discipline. 



Oh yes and not to forget my little passion for drawing and doodling, I do hope I have time to bring my sketch board around Singapore and sketch........ Agh I realize I'm planning the days as if sun never sets.Well perhaps it won't take up too much of my time. Yes, it's just random daily doodles I don't care I will have time for it.

OMG YES this long post is coming to an end, like a finally. I suddenly realize that actually it's not an easy life to be a full time blogger because a post just like this took me one whole afternoon. From contemplating ideas to taking photos and to all these wordy paragraphs. But again I had a fun afternoon, shooting photos at home is the best place ever, and it's stress-free to be both the photographer and model of photo because I can slowly trail and error. Which apparently I did not because I was sweating all over. 

OKAY END. NEED TO END HERE MY HANDS ARE DEAD TIRED.
