Trying to minimize the amount of enroachment of my work into my private life. Already giving a lot of my waking hours to my work, including the time I'm off from work at nights and on weekends. Not really keen that it should take up so much space in my virtual life too.
3 more weeks before I know the results from King's and Manchester. In 2 minds about the 2 places... London will be a real cool place to live in - but will it prove to be too much of a distraction? As so many people has mentioned, I'm there to get my Master's, not on a extended holiday.
The penny-pinching is beginning to take its toll. I really enjoy the times spent on browsing through shops, picking up items which catch my attention, and trying them on. And the pleasure of knowing that I can now pay for these things with my own hard-earned money...
I was in a slum the past 2-3 weeks. Firstly, the rejection from Imperial did affect me adversely to a certain extent. They rejected me twice now... First for my undergrad studies, now for postgrad studies. Then, as I mentioned, the lack of retail therapy, the work and marking piling up, the need to apply to the other 2 universities...But feeling much better now. Went out with my friends last weekend for an afternoon of blading and cycling. Exercise really do help with perking up a person's mood. Ran 5 km last Thursday. Looking forward to my run this coming Thursday again.
Last Friday, met up with May on her birthday. Had a quick lunch at Clementi before we had to go our separate ways back to work. Unfortunately, made her a little sad with her house-hunting woes and other pre-wedding worries. Anyway, we did arrange to meet up again this Friday, to see her in her final fitting for one of her evening gowns. Hopefully, I'd get the chance to see her in the gown on her wedding. But it's nice to be part of her preparation process. And perhaps, it's be another chance for her to vent her frustrations, etc...
