The Uneventful Holiday Party

Hi readers! It's again been a long while since the last update! Not sure what happened since then, but I know that I got busy since end September for my New York trip planning, which was on end October, which was immediately followed by a Malacca trip on the weekend I returned to Singapore, which was soon followed by a team offsite to Bali a couple of weeks after, which was then followed by the annual holiday party, which was just last night (or tonight) at the time this post is written! Exciting times!

Of course, following the prevailing tradition, I'd feel melancholic after such social events and would start asking myself the "what have I been doing with my life?!" questions again, so now we have another blog post!

On a more serious note, I do think that I need to do something about my life. I've not been able to discipline myself; sleeping late every night for one reason or another (because of the audience of this blog I can't disclose what they are, which is unfortunate), unable to make myself do things that I'm supposed to do like to keep fit, to practice meditation, to do some readings, to maintain that conversation with the new girl I've just been matched, and many others. Basically I've been living by simply satisfying those urges for instant gratifications like looking at your phone to scroll Facebook, play games, etc etc. This, to say the least, is extremely unhealthy. Definitely requires a place in next year's resolution. Talking about new year resolution, I totally missed doing my Q3 resolution reflection...

Gonna try to think of something to address this problem. I think talking to someone would help, but I've no idea who to talk to...

All the best in your life's endeavors, for now.

Second interview: NUS ASEAN Scholarship

Image
Hi, readers. It is quite a joy to see that my blog has reached more than 200 pageviews while I was away doing... many stuff. Perhaps, even from the first sentence, you would have noticed my... less enthusiastic tone  compared to my previous posts. Well, you guessed it, it's because of my second of the series of interview I am going to have this year did not go well.  Perhaps you are wondering, what is the big deal? You said you screwed up your SUTD interview and yet you were still offered a place there, why this time would be any different? Well, I do not know if I have told you guys this (too lazy to check on the post itself, sorry), but SUTD interview was for both admission and scholarship. While I was offered a place in SUTD, I was not offered any scholarship with the admission offer. You could say that I am satisfactory for admission, but not for scholarship. Even worse, it is possible that I am actually not satisfactory, but it is just that SUTD needs students really, really b

First interview: SUTD

Good GOD!! Today my series of universities and scholarships interviews have started and I only have 2 posts on my blog!! So, this morning is the first of the interview series, which is the SUTD Skype-based admission interview. For the benefit of those who do not know, SUTD stands for Singapore University of Technology and Design. As I heard from my friends, it is not overly formal interview where the interviewers' goal is to know me better and see whether I am fit to be in the university. There were 2 interviewers, with a handful of moderators, according to the voices I heard in the background, possibly 1-3 of them. Basically, the questions are as follows (as far as I remember): 1. Tell me more about yourself 2. What course are you going to choose if you are admitted to SUTD? 3. Do you have any role model? 4. Is it okay for you to stay in the hostel (freshmen are required to stay in their hostel for 3 terms)? 5. What, to you, is the world's challenge in technology and design? (

Of Squandering My Blessings and Courage to Fight Against My Conditioning

 Hi readers, it's been a while, as usual. And of course, I didn't (or haven't) finish my supposed multi-part story of my Thailand trip! I want to say I apologize, but then I'm not even sure if anyone is still reading this nowadays (even I don't read things in here after I posted it) so maybe there's no point to apologize since I'd be apologizing to no one lol. But anyway, another post, another melancholic(-ish) story! But don't worry, I try not to pity myself too much (I'm not in that mental state anyway, or so I think). Not sure if I shared this in my Thailand story post, but I kinda made a "wish", an "intention", to have a fruitful retreat, which happened and more, but unfortunately I'm too lazy to write it down to share here. But anyway (and also unfortunately), this post is not about that. Even though I did wish to have a fruitful retreat, not gonna lie that it took me a while to make up my mind on that wish - and one thin
