My Itty Bitty Footsteps through life: Me.. these days.

Busy with school
- I was walking back from my last class yesterday at 7.15pm ish (so late, I know!) and I suddenly just started feeling really overwhelmed at everything. All that I still have to do: graduate school applications, statement of purpose, cover letters, resume, the dreaded GREs.... then the gazillion projects that have already been assigned to me: my Alternative Comm Boardmaker project, Language Awareness project, Observations assignment, readings... Ah and I started feeling really suffocated, and had to slow down my pace of walking... think about other things by looking around and people watching to Ferhad's song, 'Katakan Saja'.

Trying to get fit again
- I always tell people that the fittest that I have ever been in my life (Don't laugh. I know all of you have this image of a lembik Suling. Which is true, I'm not gonna deny.) was during that 3 months of National Service. Jeez, that was a pretty long time ago. Since then, never again have I really taken the effort to exercise. I've only been to the gym less than 10 times the entire 4 years that I have been here. Well, last Tuesday, Bridget (housemate and personal trainer) forced me to go running with her around the perimeter of campus (yeah, first time of me doing that), then run up and down the stairs of the Nature Theatre and later some cardio exercises in the living room of our apt. I'm still sore. I now walk to class all aware of my muscles and how they're aching.

Aware of the changes that Senior year has brought
- Student Manager work is really taking a toll on me, despite the fact that I'm only working there twice a week. But mind you, they're 5 hour shifts each time. Everytime I'm done, I'm just so exhausted, and after that I still have to go to class! It's ridiculously tiring. Doesn't help with people who keep bitching around about each other when it's supposed to be all about teamwork. Also doesn't help that people are underestimating each other and the other student workers, making their own job hard on them. Ah, the amateurs!
As for on the friends side,
I don't see as much of the people that I used to see all the time. I still haven't met up with some people because things are so busy and our schedules don't coincide. Friends have matured and grown-up but I still love them despite how things are different. I've learned to appreciate the changes in people and actually kinda enjoy it. I mean, what is there to not like about Bridget being single and being able to go dancing with me? And Hui being more 'spontaneous' and willing to agree to do things on the spot. And Qw being more mature about the choices she makes (I still think you've matured despite Hui's statement of you only maturing 20% more).

Oh Happy Birthday to the brother. ;D We surprised him last night at 12am with a cake that I baked!! Yellow cake. From a box of cake mix. haha. And we put m&ms on it. It was great. Woohoo! My not-so-baby brother is 21.
