Monday...

as i dragged myself out of bed this morning, my weary mind struggled while my unwilling limbs wavered...
still feeling the hangover effects of getting drunk on saturday night, i felt reali lousy....
Yupz, i got drunk on saturday nite....had 2 halloween parties that night and i lost control during the second one, which was reali wild and high....
Arghhh, I promise I will NOT get drunk again during the rest of the 8+ months which I will be here....It feels totally sucky the next morning especially....darnz.....

It screwed up all my planned schedule list....i didn't get much done, and I must admit that lately, I have been distracted by another reason....which I don't wish to disclose since I have totally swept it off from my mind already...Too much gossiping by others actually clouded my mind and my rational decision making process....but I'm fine now already....

Daylight savings is over....I'm officially 13hrs behind Singapore time now....at least for the next few months...
As I stepped out of the office today, it was already pitch dark and man, I felt like a different person from that in the morning....simply because I had managed to find back my focus despite a lousy day at work too....
Maybe the lousy physical condition coupled with the lousy work dae todae provided an impetus for me to fight back and regain focus sooner than I expected myself to....

Before I go on, wanna post a couple of links...check it out if u r interested...

************************************************************************************

Work has been pretty challenging of late...Ups and downs, I've had to handle quite abit.....
I still place the internship as my top priority here for this 1year....
And to be honest, I can reali learn so much from this high-tech startup i am working at.....
BUT there's so so much more which I have aimed to accomplish....

With regards to studies, I haven't really been putting in too much effort, I will get the desired grades but it is not really my top focus...in fact, it is only priority number 3....

Number 2? What is that?
As a matter of fact, I am working with a friend on a business plan right now....
that is taking up a lot of my time and energy though, but so far, it's progressing as we have planned to it to be....

Priority number 4 will perhaps be the learning from attending conferences, seminars and events...I learn invaluable networking skills at such events, networking with the big shots in companies from all sorts of industries....I learn from being immersed in a highly entrepreneurial environment....

Priority 5 will be my involvement in this organization here which I have been actively been part of ever since i landed...I feel the need to return to NOC and NUS for the opportunity they have given me....

Priority 6 will surely be The Triple Helix (NUS Chapter) which i joined recently....yah, I am not crazy....i joined a club in NUS while being here.....i evaluated my options and gave it serious thought before deciding to join...

Priority 7 is not confirmed but a fren and I are thinking of joining the Toastmasters club in PENN....well...we r still waiting for updates from the club....

I haven't had the time to update my blog as frequently as I would hav liked to....so dat's a quick and brief update on what has been keeping my busy and up till earli in the morning....
My to-do list is absolutely insane and I wouldn't mind having a pda or even a secretary....hahaz...
in fact, i had to decline the invitation from a fren to be the engineer for his team for a business plan competition because i reali felt that i could take no more without compromising the quality of my work...

uhhh....okie....i'm digressing too much....
before i go off to continue my work, i juz wanna say that i reali do miss home alot....sometimes, images of home will come to my mind....despite the fact that i'm pretty comfortably settled in here....

take care my frens who r busy with projects and schwork....i guess dec will be a much better time to chat more after ur exams r over....
I apologise for the fact that i haven't been able to keep in touch as closely with u as i want to....I am reali trying my utmost oredi so pls pardon me....

to my family, don worry abt me...i forgot to add that number 0 priority is alwaiz my own health and happiness and that of my beloved ones.... =p
so yah....i will take care and forge ahead in my lofty ambitions!
Jiayou!

Focus...
that's the magic word for me...
