Reflection of The Last Month of 2008
This will be the last entry for year 2008 and I wish everyone a happy new year. I will be away tomorrow for a chalet and barbeque party. On another note, I started out the school vacation with hefty goals. Some of these goals, I have selectively neglected in order to focus on other seemingly important goals. It pains me to say my focus on ‘important’ goals is my excuse for procrastination. I have, for the past week, focused on developing my domain names to gain traffic, and consequently earn the US$10 by year-end. I will likely fail. For the first week, I was more productive in tackling the goals of being more confident and having better fitness. By the third week, motivation has dwindled. However, let me acknowledge my efforts. I now know that with...
Terrible Roach Phobia
Nearly an hour ago, I’ve been frightened nearly to death. While I was using the laptop, something flew past my head. Immediately recognising the sound to belong to a cockroach, I let out a horrible scream and dashed out of the room. My mum and sis came out of the room, and asked for the source of commotion. I told them, “There’s a kazua (cockroach) in my room!”. I ran into the kitchen arming myself with two cans of bug sprays. Standing at the door to my room, I looked around and began spraying furiously, not knowing where the cockroach was. Suddenly, that big bugger scurried across the room to under my bed, making me yell twice. My mum and sis who were standing behind me jumped. After many more screaming and yelling and spraying, the...
Working On Confidence
On the night before Christmas, I met up with Harris to talk. Eventually during the wee hours of the morning, I asked him for an honest impression of the image I portray. I wanted to know if there was something I did not already know about myself. Of the image, I told him to break it into the categories of appearance, verbal image and behaviour (body language-wise). This was what I learnt that was new. When with a group of friends who are conversing, I appear generally confident, though quiet. I portray an indifferent, cavalier (can’t-be-bothered) attitude. He rightly surmised that I wasn’t keen in joining the conversation because my interests varied from the group. However, when I walk, he says that I drag my feet and attempt to hide my ass by...
Five Goals For My Holidays
The common tests are over. Now comes the three-weeks vacation. More than ever, I’m determined to work on these things as part of my life list. Be more confident Write one short story Have better fitness and stamina Complete an art piece for Deviant Art Earn US$10 by year-end with my passive web investments Be more confident The past weeks, I observed myself closely for indications of what my confidence level could be. I found a link between my confidence and fitness level. Whenever I walk, I’ll make sure to pull my shirt lower to cover my huge behind and try to suck in my tummy. The problem is, I do this every few minutes that it looks so strange. Because I’m so concerned about the tummy and the ass, I end up walking awkwardly. This usually...
