about how i haven't really achieved anything since holidays started.
hmm, and right now it's week 3.
so what have i done so far?
(and also, what have YOU done so far?)
okay from my scheduler, i can see that in the past 2 weeks, i :
cut my hair
ran a couple of times (fitness regime)
applied for BTT
applied for class 2A
went to timbre
met up with sir stamford raffles
attended the final WP rally
did some recording
voted on elections day
played soccer
celebrated someone's birthday at barrage
celebrated somebody else's birthday at regentville
moved my stuff out from hall
played lotsa LAN
played lotsa PS3
was there for a best friend when he needed it
was there for a friend when she needed it
drank quite a lot of beer, gin, tonic, vodka etc
passed BTT
booked my FTT
okay i omitted plenty of small mundane items... but all in the name of good summarizing.
whether the above list is an accurate representation though, of my accomplishments in the past 2 weeks, i can't be sure.
either way, this is what the scheduler gives me so let's just take it as it is.
anyway...
today it got me thinking, what constitutes an achievement?
how do i define 'an achievement'?
and based on the above list, am i satisfied with what i've accomplished over the past 2 weeks?
i suppose i should be...
or should i?
well, for one, i'm finally taking up driving.
even though booking BTT and FTT literally mean having to wait like 2-3 months each.
but at least they are steps forward.
also, keeping fit, and hobbies such as soccer and recording stuff with the guitar...
and being there for friends on their (surprise) birthdays...
as well as when they're feeling down and need a listening ear...
those always feel like achievements.
on the downside, i suppose all the LAN and PS3 and the alcohol could be cut down haha.
seriously achieve nothing with those lol (except fun and laughter,
oh yeah and not forgetting...
today, i went back to my old workplace. (incidentally it's the 16th but not the point.)
funny story really, i was going along bukit timah road rather quickly on my bike, when for some reason i suddenly decided to make a detour.
it was one of those sudden rash decisions and i quickly braked and filtered 2 lanes to the left to go into the side road.
but anyways, it was worth it.
met up with an old friend, and i'm really glad to see he's doing fine.
sigh, it warms the heart man...
and i do try to drop by once in a while.
that place really does hold quite a lot of memories for me.
the building itself, as well as the vicinity.
made many friends there, learnt many things (mostly about travelling).
it's quite melancholic to think back and realize it's been roughly a year since i last punched my card there.
i still remember how i took two weeks to search for a job after ORD.
one week to rest and just stone, and then the other week to send out job applications and wait for replies.
within two weeks i had started work (roughly 081109 + 14days = 221109).
sigh either way, time passes so fast, i spent a good 6-7 months there...
and then uni started in august till now, another 8-9 months.
now i'm going to be 22 this year already.
that's half of 44 man...
can't imagine where i'd be at 44.
and what i would have achieved.
in this life, you're the one place i call home
in this life, you're the feeling i belong
in this life, you're the flower and the thorn
you're everything that's fair in love and war
