I feel kinda weird not doing anything. Just watching my siblings go off to their respective schools when usually I am the first to cabut, even going to Taylor's last year, is plain odd. I probably never really fully comprehend that this is the year I will leave home and study at uni. Time really flies. I admit, I am afraid of going to uni. First of all, I don't even know whether I want to study engineering or actuarial science. Since the day I applied, I have not decided yet.
In my ongoing effort to prepare myself for uni, I have decided to pick up cooking. Yes, as an avid fan of the noble activity of eating, I am sad to say I am a tad useless in whipping up dishes. Since December 2009, I have tried my hand in preparing simple dishes such as fried rice, fried noodles, chicken rice, vege soup etc. The basic skills in preparing the 'raw materials' such as cleaning prawns, chopping chicken, cutting garlic/ginger/onion etc also I have mastered in the last few weeks. What I lack now is the passion to cook. You definitely won't find me working as a chef in the future.
On a different matter, I am appalled to know that many of my friends didn't do so well in their pre-uni studies last year. Though I am of course disappointed for you guys, I suppose the end result reflects the true amount of work you put into your studies. To accomplish anything, genuine hard work and sacrifice (less TV, less Facebook, less socializing) are two elements needed. If you think you didn't do well, remember, change in your lifestyle is necessary.Since I have no major commitments this month, this leaves me with a lot of time for personal reflection. What I like, which friends do I really treasure, what am I not good at, who am I not treating well etc.
