It's 2am but i'm not bothered by the time. Have got quite a few things to get off my chest, so!

really proud to announce that i just completed my part of the information pack for my upcoming np camp. 30 pages, take that! those countless nights sure made this possible. i remember about 2 weeks ago i was so unwilling to start because it seemed such a daunting task. but quoting the most recent book i finished reading: "when you start to do something, the universe conspires to make it happen". how true indeed.
but things are far from finished. information pack still needs proper organising plus editing of the other half which shu de has done. plus activity proposals aren't touched yet! have got 2 days to get them in order, let's go.

on last count, i realised i've got myself 20plus new books this year alone. yeah you're not reading wrongly. it's 20. for the past 4 years i doubt i've actually read 10 books total (this excludes those made compulsory from school of course, those shouldn't be counted). it's intriguing that i've picked up this habit of reading (only certain books though but that's all fine and dandy), and i don't mind going on like this forever as long as time and space in my house permits me to.
speaking of which, don't we always seem like we don't have time to do all the things we want/need to do. but in the end it's just about our own time management and prioritisation. how funny.

i think i may have a penchant for this thing called "improvement". half of my new books are related to self-improvement, and even for my notes mentioned earlier i'm always thinking of how to improve it, make it better, even if it's just adding in an extra clause or two. and recently i've got on to helping others improve their ccas too! hahaha i've not imagined myself doing this before. if anything it definitely is refreshing and satisfying. i wonder if this makes me suitable to become some leadership training programme consultant in the future hmm. tough job though.

today marks the day that i finally gave out my gifts of appreciation and cards (to word it nicely haha) to my pw group. i must say i did not expect some of their replies (or even some of them to reply at all), but now let me say that i appreciate their sincere replies so, so much, and given the chance i'll turn back time and still do this all over again. for me, friendship and appreciation surpass all monetary or material things any day. so those of you out there now know what you ought to get me for my birthday right? haha.

i have these pages in my notepad from CIBTC that detail the many many meaningful sentences that i've collected from the various books that i've read. i think i'll make the effort to look through them every night before i sleep, so that i'll always be reminded of what to look forward to and what gives meaning to life.

have got lots of things to attend to (not all tonight though), including sending a final email of thanks to my pw group, understand my chem h3 lecture notes, catching up on ALL my subjects (which is going to take one heck of a time), doing up my camp proposal in time, reading my unread new books (there are so many of them), the list goes on. oh and then lastly getting myself some time for leisure and relaxation. i'm quite glad that i'll be staying home for the next few days, i don't know how i can cope with so many things on my hands otherwise.

that's about enough for one post so till next time.
