Palpitations

 I can’t sleep. I really would love to go to bed right now. The last 3 days I discovered that I am not technology savvy at all. If I am a character in a game, my HP would be less than half now after trying to design my scientific poster presentation. I was grousing about other people not knowing about the concept of time but I myself made the mistake of taking up too much than I can chew. I lack foresight of what will life be after 2 months later and now that I am at “two months later”, I am overwhelmed. 

Good thing that YouTube offers a lot of tutorials and I was able to use Microsoft Excel stacked bar charts to make a graph out of my Likert scale data. I think to make life easy I need to watch more tutorials on how to use Microsoft Excel. Probably I wasted 48 hours of my life designing and redesigning my poster after my superiors gave tons of opinions. However I am thankful for the newly gained experience and knowledge. I just wish the timing was right as now is the wrong time to be side tracked. 87days more to finals. Will I smile after 87 days or cry? I hope I will be smiling. 

My heart is now beating so fast from the coffee I drank today morning and it made me jittery the whole day. I didn’t spend a long time being sad yesterday but somehow my body stayed sad as I had gastric acid reflux and lost significant amount of sleep. I thought I needed the coffee today (been avoiding it as I know I am caffein intolerant but I really love the smell of coffee) but maybe one big table spoon is too much for me. I pooped thrice after taking coffee and yet here I am still feeling so alert yet not productive. 

I missed dinner unintentionally and probably this is also a contributing factor as to why I am having palpitations maybe I am hungry and dehydrated. At this hour it is a dilemma to eat or not to eat. Recapping on today’s events I couldn’t believe myself for turning down an oncall offer with double pay (I usually never say never to opportunities to earn more money). This is a definitive sign of exhaustion. I still feel a little disbelieve of rejecting the offer without giving much consideration. 

Gosh it’s after 12 so it’s 86 days to exams. However before that it is less than 10days for my poster presentation. I have never presented a poster after I started working and I personally do not like presenting due to stage fright. Remind me again why am I always subjecting myself to unnecessary stress. However I should remember that saying things from the heart is most important during a presentation. I realised this during the Congress in Singapore. I went unprepared and thought I just had to recite my poem yet after listening to other candidates and realising I need an opening I started formulating what I was going to say. By the time I was in front speaking to an audience I just spoke from my heart and somehow it captured them and they laughed at the right timing to the things I say. Yet I recalled when someone asked me a question and I gave an answer that was not from my heart, somehow I could feel I was losing the audience and I don’t feel contented with my own performance and answer. 

Then again my next presentation is rather factual so I should just stick to the facts and be confident. Okay I shall do some single best answer with whatever energy that I have left to spend before I feel sleepy. 

Hope the typhoon Gaemi can resolve soon and my loved ones can enjoy Taiwan. It’s such a bummer that they are travelling at the wrong time. Timing is so important!

Singapore

Continuation from yesterday’s post.  I finally ate the ice cream which is sandwiched between two wafers that I saw before and it was yummy because there’s like a huge block of ice cream and the wafer was thin. I chose peppermint chocolate and raspberry swirl. It was really fun to eat that on the helical bridge that totally looks like a DNA strand. I really love this region and it was also the same place where the fun run was held. So I got to go across the helical bridge twice. I am also very happy to finally seen the Merlion and since it was early in the morning during the fun run, the place was rather quiet and there were not many crowds. I wanted to properly run the fun run but I end up walking most of the time just enjoying the scene and talking to people since it was supposed to be a networking event. Delegates from 142 countries were there but I only manage to make friends from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Germany and New Zealand. It was quite hard to make ...

Out of the blue

 I remembered I used to cry a lot about Icy, and I was very confused with my own actions and emotions. During that period, I needed someone to talk to, and I did not want to talk to anyone who knew me in real life so I just spoke to someone random in-game. He joined the clan and I used to want people to be active and donate clan points and make a lot of reminders for members to play world boss. It was also during that time that I cleared out some members to make way for new ones. I may have recall bias as I had a lot of sadness in me back then and when I am sad I cannot recall things properly. I just remember the guy was from Brazil and when he heard of my story he was mad at me as he said I was unfaithful to my husband and he left the clan and deleted me as friend. I was rather shocked with his response and at that time I was also sad as I realize no one will ever be compassionate enough to understand my feelings.  Anyway that was more than 1 year plus ago. I think I stopped ...

忙或困是最好的解药

 我想人类是需要足够的睡眠， 过于操劳能让一个人所有的情绪给封闭起来，脑子里只想让自己“关机”。今天刚巧是个很忙的一天，忙得我真的没时间去思念任何人，也没时间胡思乱想。我记得我曾经说过为了避免自己难过，我若是隔天要离开情人/亲人，我刻意让自己睡眠不足。当我觉得我很困的时候，我就没机会伤心了，这个生活窍门我用了很多次也从未失败过。  我不能说我完全没有想他，因为今天工作所遇到的事我都很想和他分享。由于很忙这个想法只是瞬间经过我的大脑然后很快的又消失了。我可算是个认真的人，工作时我都不分心所以我真的想他了，要不然他是不会出现在我脑海里。其实我今天有和我老公说我想他了可是他没有回答我给他的简讯。1256，1637， 2327 这些是我发了简讯的时间可是一个答复都没有。想一想我真的是个孤单的人。虽然我很爱独处，但是我也喜欢有个和我三观一致的人和我分享生活。 我现在只希望今晚有机会睡觉因为昨晚我0200就醒来了。我没想他了，我只渴望睡觉。其实还有很多话想说但是我真的很困了。
