My life has slowed down alot these days. I only manage to do one or two things each day, then the end of the day is here. I don’t get alot of things packed together and I kinda enjoy it like that. Each day passes faster and faster and I seem to be moving in slow motion in comparison. Another thing I’ve noticed is that I mostly get things done before deadlines and though I am still as apathetic towards consequences. I generally get things done early not because I am afraid I will miss the deadline, I am more afraid of all the work converging and getting overwhelmed. The nice side effect of avoiding overwhelming work is well.. getting things done early!

Getting things done early is great. It costs money to do things last minute(think of anything express.. costs much more)! It also usually costs more time and stress, totally not worth it. Nowadays (without planning) I space out my work completion dates around. Staying up today till 3am just to get one thing done early means one thing less tomorrow. And If i stay up till 3am tomorrow, I’ll be thankful I finished whatever I did today at 3am. Things stacking up in the urgent list definitely reduces the quality, speed and efficiency of your work as well.. something to consider.

I currently juggle FYP, project 1, project 2, maintaining a website or two, taking and processing photos, some adhoc jobs here and there. I’ve been blessed to have a photoshoot with some NTU hall committee this sunday afternoon. It’ll be an interesting start to my pseudo side-career as a photographer. Come to think of it, I haven’t been obsessive in finding work and experience as many other successful people I’ve seen on the net.

I need to do a birthday post and all the crazy things that happened but I’m flooded with work. Haha.. I really kinda enjoyed my day. Slow and easy as well. Going off to bed! Going to put back together a lens I cannot completely take apart.. that’s never happened before.. haha.. Borrowing a 105 and 135mm nikon manual lens for some testing for Sunday’s job. Been wanting to get my clarinet back too. Composed a short piece of music for one of my modules and realised maybe I’m wasting away my time on other things. haha.. sigh.. Still haven’t sorted out my thoughts about the christian and music, every hardline point of view seems like nonsense to me and nothing has been truely convincing after 12 years of involvement. I’d like to put up some photos but I think I’ll stick with text for a while.

I kinda hit a wall with the tons of photo backlog over the past few days. Just too many to look through and keep/delete. Shall look through slowly and stop taking photos over the next few days.

Just had a family gathering over mid-autumn festival and it was quite a crowded affair. Really loud and all. That was after I came from a whole day in church.. starting with FBI then a pretty long study/tuition session where I finished my assignment and gave Evan tuition at the same time. I hope that I’ll be able to bring this boy and his family to Christ one step at a time. Time is of the essence.. and the days of a person’s youth and innocence are so few and numbered. The end of innocence is usually the phenomenon of suddenly “growing up” and coming into your own. Forming your own identity. Hopefully that Identity can be one with Christ! Something undesirable when a person’s spiritual vision is clouded by all the wickedness experienced in the world.

Over the next week I hope to catch up with my FYP. I’ve completely neglected it. I don’t want to do poorly this round, I can’t take another failure. Anyway, here are some photos from the past few days. I really had quite a blast over my birthday. Quite intense, silly, quiet and enjoyable all at the same time.

I kinda can’t remember everything that’s happening in my life, its moving soooo fast its all a complete blur now. I also feel less inclined to word out my thoughts. Something I’ve grow to be terribly lazy at. I’d like to be able to look back at what’s happened and smile about it though. haha.. So I shall endevour to keep a more complete record. Wow, we can all almost write our own biographies man.. haha..

Ubin trip first, then birthday dinner which I ate at home. Very enjoyable trip.. too short for me though!
