newbies
today is the day where the faculty meets the new students.. seems just like yesterday when I was a freshie in UKM, full of hopes and dreams… really really hope to be excellent… hmm.. looking back, I knew that I could’ve done better but hey, no regrets… I enjoyed every single moment of pain, misery, laughter and success there… I hope I gave the best speech in motivating the newbies today, in encouraging them to be more involved in uni life… I hope some of my excitement and motivation rubbed off to them… so that they realize how precious time is in uni life and how lucky they are to be here..
these few days back at work were quite overwhelming… PENAT sangat… suddenly I am loaded with sooooo many things to do, and it hit me like a bucket of ice water… and gave me shooting headaches. my shoulders are stiff and back is again aching… early signs of stress. the thing is, I always have these symptoms, and it’s due to pass anytime but its kinda my warning system that I have to be prepared to work my ass off for sometime… aaargghh feel a sudden need to hang out at some nice beach…hmm?
so here I am doing work almost every nite n day… sure its tiring… but I’ve come to terms with that, keeps my mind off things and be more focused on critical issues… I need to train myself to only think about problems when I am NOT working, meaning to schedule a few minutes a day to just worry.. hehe.. weird huh, but I read somewhere that it might just work… need to train my mind not to think of too many things at a time… so that when I eventually go for my PhD, I am well prepared =)
