Life's Brief Candle

Friday, I saw the workers mowing the grass right beneath my window, thinking that I will be a good idea to mow the grass over here as well. I hope the grass isn't tall enough to warrant the use of a parang (for my newer readers, see here if u don't get what I mean). Well, I procrastinated again... I only started writing now. In fact, I have many to write about, but I kept pushing and pushing it later... until I am not sure what to write first.

Procrastination is one of my biggest weaknesses. One of the more pressing issues now, my accomodations arrangements in Singapore (I didn't get a hall for the next sem... yet), I did something only when someone pushed me as if it's she that didn't get a place, even that it took me more than a week to do something as simple as asking a question.

I procrastinate on my studies as well. I only study when it is nearing exam time, sometimes only starting on the night before the exam itself. Frankly, I don't like doing homeworks. While I was in my primary and secondary days, I regularly snowballed my homeworks year after year. Now thinking back, I think my UPSR was saved by my mum who literally forced me to complete all homeworks that I missed that year, after receiving complaints and complaints from my class teachers.

The trend continues into uni as well. During school terms, I didn't bother to complete tutorials, saved for the Japanese modules and MB101 Accounting. I started preparing for exam long after everyone else had started. Some people would say "whoa, you so smart, don't need to study also can get A", I actually don't feel good when anyone makes such a comment. It was God that helped me or sheer luck, I think. Even the summer research report I am supposed to working on now, I only finished the cover page. I spend the past few days reorganizing and rewriting my laboratory records, which should have been done over the last two months. I have yet to complete the presentation slides due on Monday.

I wanted to end this post on a lighter tone, but I can't.

明日复明日，
明日何其多？
日日待明日，
万事成蹉跎。
