I Know What You Did Last Weekend

Semi-Productive

Over the weekend, I did up my individual report for the project. It’s not done yet, but it’s close. This means that I can spend the whole week on my presentations and lab report. Wow, it wasn’t so long ago when the exams seemed a little far away. They’re too close for comfort now.

I didn’t exactly manage to accomplish a lot over the weekend, but it’s better than nothing, and at least it now looks as if I have some realistic chance of finishing the race. We’re not out of the woods yet, but it’s looking better. It’ll all be over in about ten days (or under), after I’ve completed my presentations and finished up with the final test of the semester.

Ideas

Some ideas, here and there, but nothing completely satisfactory for a new project. I had all of these nice ideas before, yes, and I was so keen on making it this massive project that was going to occupy me for a few years. But the way things tend to go for me, I spend all my time planning and planning and planning, then I find that it’s not working one morning and I dive straight into another idea completely. It was the case with The River, which I thought of one morning on the way to school and after abandoning a project of a few years. It was also the case with Bukit Merah, which I did after some substantial planning into something else that I abandoned completely. I made almost no notes on Bukit Merah at all.

I kind of think it will be the same this time.

Mang Is Here

My sister’s cat has been deposited at our place for a few days. It’s always nice to see Mang. I remember when she was still a stray, all those years ago, and I was, what, 13? 14? Can’t really remember. But it is nice to see her; Mang is love.
