Time Management

I had quite a fruitful week last week , managing to fish out time for my family , friends , homework and THE GF . Good time management i would say considering the fact that im a “attached / part-time tour guide / striving undergrad ”

Wednesday

So wednesday night me and dick decided to head on over to our ever so friendly neighbour country malaysia to have dinner and at the same time do abit bargain hunting . Crossing over the border was a brezze as you would expect on wednesday night itself , the only people moving in and out of singapore and malaysia will be the malaysians only , those who are actually working here . Point to note : you can literally smell it when you’re inside JB , even the air smells different or it might just be the freaking rubbish lying all over the shop . Anyways , by 730pm we were already wondering inside CITY SQUARE , supposedly the most happening shopping center in JB ( run down version of suntec ) . The plan was to get some cheap clothings but ended up buying some gadgets to zeng our lap top . Let me break it down for you how did my $40 = 88 Ringgit was spent :

• Lap top cooler    = 28 Ringgit
• Optical Mouse    = 20 Ringgit
• Groceries            = 18 Ringgit
• Dinner               = 11.5 Ringgit
• Supper               = 2.5 Ringgit
• Total                      80 Ringgit

*8 ringgit left to keep as souveniour *

                                                   

For poor undergrads out there , you are strongly advised to patronise JB once in 2 weeks , trust me you will feel 2 times richer , minimalistic damage done to your bank account and you will reap greater satisfactions when you set foot back in singapore .

Thursday

Thursdays are tutorial days so normally on wednesdays night i will still be scampering to complete my work especially for accounting , now so high tech , need to do all tutorial questions in excel format . Normally it wld have took me 2hrs to finish , now it takes 3hrs , 1 extra hour tap on the key pad , move my mouse around , wait for the lap top to load , occasion hangs and what not . The weekend started at 430pm sharp and caught the rat movie with baby after she finished her lessons . I fell dead asleep in the first part of the show , it was like some soap opera drama shit in the beginning but it got better when the rat starting cooking , i would say not too bad for a cartoon .

Friday

Back in the small little town of sengkang , feels good to be back home , has this less stressful aura about it as compared to the small lill corner i have back in NTU . Spent the early part of the day doing tutorials , projects and some readings  Dinner at night with the duck collegues , bad mouthing about how shitty the system has became and all the bo standard people coming in to work at ducktours . Oh well , as long as every month i still religiously get my pay cheque , it works for me. HAHAH!

Saturday

Visited my grandpa in the noon time and brought bernice along with me . Grandpas’ not doing too well , he looks like he has aged quite abit just barely 2 weeks since i last visited him .  The usual complains about boredom and aches doesnt seem that casual to me anymore . Growing old is just inevitable . ” So what if i struck 4D ? i wont have much time left anyways “…. This stuck with me throughout the entire weekend

On a lighter note , headed to orchard to walk around with THE GF and she manage to do a small damage at far east . Other then that orchard road is a serious NO NO on a saturday night , i swear that if i dont have anything important i shall not set foot there again on a weekend .

Sunday

Had a slack day at work with a total of 11 tours to split among 4 guides . I literally had time to hop on one of the buses and head down to orchard road to do some damage and come back in time for my next tour . It was one of the rare few times that i reach back home after work and the sun was still shinning , it felt quite good actually . Dinner at home , slack around abit and by mid night i was back at the lill corner in NTU .

So its a start of another week over here , i dont know is it me or what but time seems to fly by every single week . I’m thinking its because of the long weekends i have thats why it feels this way =)
