怎样

近期内应该做到的是

*好好努力 准备将近的考试
*花多一点时间陪家人聊天

虽然头脑浮现很多思绪  包括人生的路要怎么走  包括你 但全都须搁置一旁  好好为着来临的假期 先努力一番！

Counting blessings:
(1) The opportunity to be home to see my family doing well, although it is just a short trip.

(2) To have growing faith in myself

(3) To have no financial problems

It is not that i have a lot of leisure time to start writing this post but because i have been acting very absent-mindedly recently and just want to have a peace of mind, even just for a short 15 minutes.

Let me begin by counting my blessings:

(1) I am very glad I've made it up to the final year final semester, with not-so-flying-colour results but constantly improving results.

(2) A heap of good friends to keep me in company to share my problems and happiness

(3) Supportive family which never fails to give me good advices

Busy with life, i always remind myself to find time to give thanks, to all things that happen to me, no matter good or bad. All of them happen for a reason. People say "If its good, its wonderful and if its bad, its experience." Life will never be too hard if we take it easy.

Recently feeling stressed as the deadline of thesis submission draws closer. Sometimes i just don't have the mood to write-up especially having to edit my work over and over again after meeting my supervisor. But i know i have to! 2 more weeks to the due date, i wish i look back again at this post thinking "Wow, that's a great job i've done!" so what i need to do now is focus on the things i'm suppose to do, and have fun whenever i deserve to.

Lets all just do our best in this one and only life :)

Six keys to being excellent from HBR.org

1. Pursue what you love. Passion is an incredible motivator. It fuels focus, resilience, and perseverance.
2. Do the hardest work first. We all move instinctively toward pleasure and away from pain. Most great performers, Ericsson and others have found, delay gratification  and take on the difficult work of practice in the mornings, before they do anything else. That’s when most of us have the most energy and the fewest distractions.
3. Practice intensely, without interruption for short periods of no longer than 90 minutes and then take a break. Ninety minutes appears to be the maximum amount of time that we can bring the highest level of focus to any given activity. The evidence is equally strong that great performers practice no more than 4 ½ hours a day.
4. Seek expert feedback, in intermittent doses. The simpler and more precise the feedback, the more equipped you are to make adjustments. Too much feedback, too continuously can create cognitive overload, increase anxiety, and interfere with learning.
5. Take regular renewal breaks. Relaxing after intense effort not only provides an opportunity to rejuvenate, but also to metabolize and embed learning. It’s also during rest that the right hemisphere becomes more dominant, which can lead to creative breakthroughs.
6. Ritualize practice. Will and discipline are wildly overrated. As the researcher Roy Baumeister has found, none of us have very much  of it. The best way to insure you’ll take on difficult tasks is to build rituals — specific, inviolable times at which you do them, so that over time you do them without having to squander energy thinking about them.

Speed up, steadily

Today, we were told by our supervisors to get our projects done as soon as possible. Also, came to realise that there's gonna be lots of due dates in Mid September so i really need some ways to boost my productivity. Came across this video on facebook and the first rule is exactly the one that i need to comply with - limit distractions. In other words, i should INDULGE fully when doing something( no matter work or play), focus on that thing and not think about other things at all, no replying text messages, no daydreaming etc. A good motivation for me is to finish up my work ASAP so that i can get my ass back Penang during the next tuition free week!

Its the last semester of my degree life and most of the time my mind keeps thinking about how to fully utilise my last semester so that i have fun and also be able to manage my studies well, therefore, allthough it might be hard for me but my latest target would be BYE BYE DISTRACTION so that I could balance up time between work and play.

p/s: two other simple targets i'm setting is #1 To get rid of my hunchback habit, and #2 Eat Clean. Hope i would see the changes in me in two weeks time when i get back to my blog.

Well, still too young to get married but stumbled upon this article and think it is worth a read:

Wise

In life, there are often decisions we have to make. How do we consider it wise or not wise? Should i take a nap, update my blog or study now? Should i attend the party or stay in for revision? This topic or that topic for FYP topic? Too often we are influenced by advises from different people : some tell you A is better and some tell you B is the best while others tell you both A and B are no good, choose C. There is no strict rule of what to follow, but to follow your heart.

Making a wise decision, to me, is to follow your heart while not hurting others. Recently, I have a serious problem when making decisions. Directionless. Doubts. Indecisive. Which should i choose? Which is better? etc... Sometimes i really hate myself for that. Even a simple decision, i would need to acquire so many different opinions from my friends or family before deciding.

Decisions which are related to my academics are the toughest for me. Well, yeah, they are not what major life decisions but i need to GRADUATE on time!! I desperately need to cuz i could not afford to fail (money-wise or time-wise). I know I have to be disciplined and work real hard to achieve that but sometimes following my heart, i could just play all day long. I've always been a slow student and yet studying progress gets worse nowadays as internet is a great source of distraction. Texting 24/7 and scrolling through facebook instagram have really become my (very bad) habit. Its stupid for people at age 21 to follow rules such as: only 2 hours internet per day or study at least 7 hours a day. However, i really need to limit myself and set some targets as due dates and final exams are getting closer and closer already.

Its week 9 of the final year first semester, and this post is sort of a reminder to myself cuz i need my discipline back: EE LING, PLEASE PLEASE WORK HARD.

Wise words

Stumbled upon a few friends and friends of friends' blogs and decided to come back to blogosphere! Blogging is no doubt a great way to share feelings and thoughts as it makes you feel better after grumbling everything out after a tough day or even better after sharing happy things that happened throughout the day.

Firstly before i update you readers(not even sure if there's any), Happy New Year to everyone! No new year resolutions for year 2014 but only wish for everyone's health and happiness.

Now here's a quick update - This 3 months summer break is slightly different as it is compulsory for us to do our internships. I ended up picking a company manufacturing medical devices out of 4 companies that have offered me an intern position. Never regretted this decision. The tasks given to me were pretty simple and easy up to now although i would prefer slightly more challenging tasks. Colleagues in my department have been treating me really well and i'm feeling so grateful and blessed about that. Other than working, we've been told by our respective final year project supervisors to start preparing our dissertations as it would be a busy year for us next year.

Nothing much for now and it's a working day tomorrow so, toodles!
