Band 1; Off day

for the 2011 ‘O’ levels, the school did so well that we’re now placed in band one. to celebrate that, the school has given an off day to both the staffs and the students. nice!

i’m now sitting in bed, trying to clear my work. although to be honest, i’d love to be out hiking or something. i managed to collect my dry bag yesterday and damn! it’s looking good. next up, i need to get myself a pair of water shoes.

i need to get myself a new computer too. heard rumours that Diablo 3 will be out on February 1st and that a Fallout MMO is being made right now by Bethesda Studios. hmmm.

something is missing.

i’ve no idea where my muse has gone. i haven’t been able to write anything lately. no jotting down of thoughts, no playing of guitars… nothing. lost that creative touch somehow. i feel… lost.

even writing this post… this post has gone through it’s fifth revision. i’m bored easily and i don’t find anything fresh or interesting anymore. that’s pretty bad. i’m kind of living life on auto pilot. and it’s only Jan 8! eight days into 2012 and i’m already bored stiff.

i’m craving for something. looking for something. hankering for something. yearning for something. have yet to find it. maybe, going overseas will revive me? hahaha! the school year has just started and already i’m thinking of going for a break. but seriously, the way i’m living my life… the days are just passing me by. i want to go trekking, hiking… i want to go on an adventure.

i’m bored with my life and my lifestyle. i need a change. this year, i will make the change.

withdrawal symptoms

ever since my desktop’s monitor went kaput, i have been using my macbook at home. and it’s just not the same. i love my macbook but both my desktop and macbook have very different uses. for work and studies, it’s my macbook and for games and watching videos, it’s my desktop.

bought a bunch of games from the recent steam christmas sale and i’m itching to play them. drats.

heh. i don’t want to buy a monitor at the moment though as i’m intending to get a new desktop. will probably wait till then to get a new monitor.

tomorrow will be the last day for the sec one orientation. next week, my real workload will start.

first school day of 2012

wah. hectic day. first time as a form teacher of a sec one class and there’s a lot of things to do. first day of school and already, my class has two lost sheeps. one was a boy from another class who inadvertently found himself in my class and another one was a boy who was assigned to another class but whose name was still in my class list.

the other form teacher of my class was a teacher who taught me previously when i was a student in the school. was anxious and nervous. thankfully, i managed to do everything right. she said i was pretty efficient. thank you!

i have pretty good mentors in school.

so pretty much, things went well in school today. when i got home though, i found that my desktop’s monitor has gone kaput. not a very good sign. i need to get a better computer soon. like very very soon. i bought a bunch of cool games during the recent steam sales that i can’t even play on this computer because of poor graphic card support.

for normal work purposes, it’s pretty fast and gets the job done but for gaming… heh. it’s a good excuse to get a new one. just need to find the time to build one myself.

heh. so. apart from the computer monitor at home… today’s been pretty good. been blessed mightily. went jogging this morning. tomorrow morning’s schedule would be jumping rope. the next day would be running again. diet-wise… still can do with improvement. been having loads more veggie than usual and cutting down on carbo. wasn’t able to stick to my initial goal of losing 20kg in 4 months. will take it slightly slower this year. mostly just focusing on diet for the first month or so and cardio.

ok. back to work. i have 6 sec one classes for IT, 1 sec three class for english and 1 sec two class for service learning. going to have to finish up the sow for the IT lessons.

2011 has gone. today’s the second day of 2012.

i didn’t make any resolutions last year. but for 2010, i made 4.

  • stay alive
  • keep my sense of humour
  • get a real job
  • make real money

i’ve kept them all.

this year’s resolution will be similar.

  • save money
  • get fit
  • do the best i can in everything
  • travel overseas

so, how was my 2011? not bad, it could be better but i’m not complaining. i’ve made a bunch of good friends from work. i’ve started on a new hobby and also, i’ve survived 2 sems in UniSIM. still far from getting my degree but i am getting there. i’m still single… but oh well. you can’t have everything i suppose. i’ve been a catechist for almost 2 years but i stepped down because of school and work.

i’m back in Boys’ Brigade. this time as a teacher liaison. good times. looking forward to 2012.

i mean, it’s either going to be the end of the world or a fabulous year. either way, i win.
