Occupied

Time seems to carry no meaning when there are many things to do everyday. In a hectic schedule, sleep without the need to set alarm clock for the next day is simply rewarding.

Despite busy, days are however fulfilling. I start to
- play golf. I somehow find the beginning posture looks like a standing method to sh*t.

- iron clothes for a family on a fortnight basis. Can't believe this can be my money earning method. Luckily I didn't burn anything yet since I'd never even iron my own clothes before.

- be organised by actually plan a to-do list everyday and tick them off one by one.

- study musical symbols. Matthew (my flatmate) is keen to get me on both piano and violin.

- try out drinks in bar. Clubs or pubs here are just like our cafe back home, nothing more than a socialising ground or places for society meetings.

- take blood from patient.
We were taught to be 'caring' (haiz, just long winded la) here. They are keen to ask the patient 'Are you happy with me doing this or that on you?', 'Is it alright if I poke the needle in now?, ' Is this position comfortable for your arm or you would like to change it?' ... yada yada yada. Whereas back home, a nurse just take a needle poke in your vein and sometimes not even apologize when blood is spilt all over the bed. Most of the time, I am more nervous than patients.

I somehow feel that I have got many things in mind I want to do , but if I don't try them now, I probably wouldn't have the chance in the future. All life will eventually come to an end one day, I can live young only once. So why not today. And if I have the chance to try, why not my best. Who knows if this is the only chance.

Hopefully I don't end up blindly seeking temporal pleasure and entertainment and feel empty at the end of the day. Satisfaction in life and sense of achievement should come from deep down inside bottom of the heart.

I agree with what you said about how if we don't do things that we want to now, we might not ever haave the chance anymore in the future.

I feel the same way too, except that I can't seem to find the time for things. Like my skiing lessons. Is studying that important that everything else should be put on hold for it? Blah.
