Dear All, I'm Good!

Oh gosh! I just realised that it's been a month since I've last updated my blog. I used to blog a lot on my iPhone last semester because I spent most of my time waiting for buses (it can be quite long, ranging anything from 5 minutes to an hour) or travelling (bus rides took 45 minutes on average).

However, this semseter I travel mainly by walking or cycling (yes, I bought a bike. Please don't tell my parents & grandparents about it). There is no way I can walk/cycle and blog at the same time. I know, I'm not professional enough a cyclist. Oh well.

Anyway, I will put up a stick-it note on my wall to remind myself to blog on a weekly basis so that I can keep everyone back home in Singapore, updated on my life and/or current progress in Aussie.

This semester has been good so far. However, my workload is a little heavy, mainly because I am taking 4 modules ( as compared to 3 last semester), of which 2 are Year 2 and 2 are Year 3 modules. The stack of notes and readings I have printed so far has piled up to 10cm. This is on top of textbook readings and research. I have just SO much to read. It's not so much about reading in literal terms but more of reading in depth. The content of each reading is so dense, if my concentration level were to dwindle, I will not be able to fully comprehend or grasp the deeper meaning of my reading and this can prove to be a little challenging at times, especially for someone like me who has a short attention span, gets easily distracted and drifts off easily (lack of focus). Nonetheless, I will grit my teeth and continue to persevere, working towards my goal/s in life.

Recently, I read the following from a friend's facebook post and found it quite inspiring. May it inspire you as much as it inspired me =)
