Now that Y4S1 is well and truly over (with the past couple of weeks being a nightmare), I do have a few personal milestones I hope to achieve before the end of the year…

• Read more! Current book list includes:
  • A Dog’s Purpose (W. Bruce Cameron)
  • Kappa Quartet (Daryl Qilin Yam)
  • For anyone who wants a holiday read: I recommend reading the screenplay of local play Off Centre (Haresh Sharma) – it deals with mental health issues in Singapore, especially of depression and schizophrenia. Pretty insightful and thought-provoking, imo
• Hit 10k by 31 Dec
  • I stopped at 8k more than a month ago… Good luck to me as I try to regain my momentum
• Start a prayer journal
  • Bought a fancy black Muji notebook for this a while ago and have been procrastinating because of school work, sigh
• Watch a movie alone!
  • In fact, this may just happen tomorrow~~~~ Hello my beloved wizarding world WELCOME BACK TO THE BIG SCREEN!!!!
• Watch Kimi no Na wa!!!!
  • Graphics look a m a z e balls and the concept behind the movie is cool too!
• Catch up with friends
  • This goes without saying

Also reluctantly created a Snapchat account (@wanqilim !!) because it’s one of the platforms we are using for FYP so errr at least gotta know how it works. But no need to follow la HAHAHAHAH cos I don’t think I’ll be posting much.

In school now furiously typing my 40% report for Comm. Campaigns that’s due this Wednesday. Feeling extra stressed because Chloe and I are doing this together alone, whereas other groups (barring Jo and Hann) have 4 group members working on the same report. I don’t know if Arul will revise his grading criteria for us given that we are at a disadvantageous position as compared to the other groups, but I can’t be bothered to ask him about it; I’d rather focus my energies on delivering something that I can be proud of.

We have also been making progress for FYP, but this also means we have more work to do, more people to meet, and more work to do (ya gotta repeat this point just because). It doesn’t help that all four of us have back-to-back submissions this week so we are literally being stretched beyond our limits, Chloe and myself especially. The only silver lining is that the thought of giving up has never crossed my mind since I’m hoping to do well for CC.

Lastly, I’ve been nursing a persistent cough for the past month. I haven’t been able to sleep well at all, often waking up in the middle of the night just to cough/drink water. I average 4 – 6 hours of sleep per night, and getting uninterrupted sleep is pretty much an obscure, unreachable ideal these days. Quality rest is something I desperately need but I cannot afford to fall apart now, not this week at least.

Happy baptism, my three dimpled friends 🙂

Took the train home with Vic where we shared some of our struggles pertaining to FYP, faith and letting go. I honestly never, never expected to be such close friends with him but today, I’m thankful for him and for our friendship 🙂 Will never forget how we camped at Macs on Tuesday night pulling our hairs out and trying to make a freaking field experiment work for our 4075 group project. It even got to the point where he scribbled the research design on his notebook and I suggested taking a photo of that page and inserting it into our appendix because we were too noob and too tired to think of the ideal statistical test to use for the experiment. Thank God we were a lot more refreshed after we got home HAHA.

But anyway, yesss, I’m so so so proud of him for making this huge commitment :’) (and of course yabbit and Zims too hehe).
