Well, firstly I think my life has been too overwhelmed by digital media. Facebook, flickr, and google reader being chief culprits. While they all strive to make our social lives efficient, its strange how they actually suck up even more time because now you do useless things more efficiently. Although you do spend less time achieving a greater amount of useless stuff, the amount of information entering the brain is increased substantially in a shorter period of time. That crowds out alot of useful thought time. I think I’d like to change that abit and dumb down my life for abit. No facebook, no flickr, no google reader, no email even, progressively over the next few days. haha.. Impossible for a web monkey like me? watch me. If at the end of it I still end up the same, well.. it means that it just didn’t enrich my life in any way, a possibility that is very remote. I do suppose I will be able to get alot of reading, photography and job hunting done. Not to mention carry out some ideas that have just remained ideas for too long.
Anyway in other news, I just completed my final FINAL exam just yesterday. 25th November 2009. The exam was quick and unspectacular, I wrote till my hands cried out for mercy.. especially that final 5 minutes where I discovered I had missed out a question that I skipped. Also, I am pretty sure I’ve nailed everything down, just have to upload my thesis and I’m really done for good.
Its been a fantastic 4.5 year journey. From first year sticking around with friends in common engin and breezing through the modules, my second year of disaster results and pretty dull hall life with ZG, my third year first sem of quiet lonely lecture attendance which really got a little better once I had a lecture buddy in the second sem. My fourth year which was uneventful and went by like nothing and finally this extra sem I’m doing which has had its gan cheong times and slack times. All in all its been a wonderful self-discovering journey sometimes walking with God and sometimes walking my own way, still arriving at the destination safe and sound but not as well off if I hadn’t strayed.
This marks end of academia and start of working life. Something I look forward to because of all the possibilities it opens up. A new journey which I will probably have to take all the way to the end of my life. Haha.. pretty happy.
