well, here goes.
btw, don't read this entry if you haven't read the previous one.
weet.
Career
It's a little early to think about career five years ago, but guess you can never be too early with such stuffs huh.
dear ass, i'm sure you have never thought about being a network engineer or even know anything about networking when you're 14. but hey, rejoice in the fact that you are still failing maths and getting outstanding results a.k.a red among black digits as you have never been interested in business, sciences, etc and five years down the road, you will still not be interested. so thumbs up. :)
Education
coming to education, contradictingly, it will help if you, dear ass will just put in more effort in your maths.
hell, i know ms chua [maths teacher] sucks the energy out of everyone, but if there are people managing to keep awake [amazingly there really are, about 20%] among the 30+ students, you can do it. cos if you can score in maths/amaths or at least be decent in it, you'll have an easier time in engineering maths. 3 modules of them somemore. and hell, get interested in programming and read up on networking!!! sure, it might not be among the favorites of people's ideal jobs, but heck, you can earn money if you are good. you can still earn even if you're not. just be a lecturer. =x but yeah, you will definitely be better off if you can put in more effort in your studies. aim for a >3.5 gpa in poly!! and heck, i'm like a 2.8 gpa now which is a far cry from the target. =/
Finances
save money plox. 10, 20 bucks per week will make me a richer boy now.
and god damn, resist from browsing through online catalogues when you surf forums.
and don't owe yourself money!! [which i sadly am, near 1k or perhaps already exceeded.]
but ah well, at least you don't owe other people money.
Habits
bad habits to get rid of:
not bathing immediately when reaching home from outside.
sleeping >12hours whenever you get the chance to.
achieving a state of nocturnal-ism.
not bothering to tidy up your room.
not being determined enough to carry through with whatever you do.
Health
drink more bloody water.
eat more bloody veggies.
pure lemon juice works so damn well if you are having a sore throat.
take your own initative to exercise when you enter poly, cos your clique doesn't play basketball!!
and two of them, lately three, goes to the gym which you dislike cos you prefer outdoor sports.
and stop skipping your meals you thin piece of stick.
Opportunities
can't remember any opportunities that i passed out on that i really regret, but all i can say is not to hesitate when you see something that you really want.
you'll finally learn the japanese language that you are so interested in, but fuck you upside down if you just stop after finishing the basic level cos you don't get the JLPT [japanese language proficiency test] certs which is damn helpful in your future career!
and also, kickboxing! persevere you shithead!!!
be self-motivated whenever the chance arises and stop slacking off!
Relationships
you should have just ended one not long ago, which essentially can't even be considered one, but hey~ =/
just learn to think before you act, and ask yourself over and over again whether you really like that girl that you think you like.
and can you see yourself being the girl's boyfriend?
if you can't even imagine yourself standing beside her, holding her hands, then hey, don't even get started.
and please do try to keep in contact with your friends, cos the you five years down the road will barely meet your secondary school buddies, not even once a month, not even once every two months, not even once in six months unless you consider bumping into each other on the streets.
and there is no harm in going back to visit the teachers after graduation cos you know that you are going to like the school days a lot during the sec four year.
socialise more, speak up more, be more confident of yourself, be more streetsmart, and you'll never know what lies at the end of the road.
don't be content cos most of the people know you right now, it's because you're tall.
make it such that they know you because they want to, because you're interesting and fun to be with.
most importantly, if you treasure your friends, show it.
~~end~~~
okie. pretty silly when i read through it again, but yeah, i think i've always been foolish about certain matters..
worse is that i know where my problems lie but i just keep procastinating...
=/ ahhhhhhhhh.... well. lol.
so anyway, here's to a happy 2009! ;)
