yay. another whole week off from national service.. borrowed a couple of books from the library - my imagination's been starving the past few weeks! a good dose of crichton and maybe clancey should dolve the trick. i'm trying to learn to play the guitar too - although i'm not having much progress in that department, mostly i guess from a lack of motivation/resilience/determination(or simply, the heart) to practice. ha.

i'm also trying to up my fitness level: i'm aiming to be able to complete a full marathon by the time i graduate from uni, and maybe take part in another vertical marathon as well..perhaps this time i can get to the top without walking :)

yup, i guess that's just me. lot's of dreams and aspirations, but hardly any effort put into attaining my goals. i probably need to start prioritising.. time management.. that sort of thing. yea.

oh, and i think i've finally decided what i'm gonna do with my life i.e. future career. i think i should be a geography teacher. it's a subject i've always had interest in, and i've had some pretty inspiring teachers along the way - geog. teachers especially. other reasons for my choice? well, it's an "iron rice bowl" - teachers hardly get retrenched..i think; geog's also a very diverse subject: not too specific like say, chemistry or physics..or so i think. yup. and it's a good balance between the arts (human geog: studying various levels of development in different countries, their cultures etc) and science (phy geog: tectonic movements, natural phenomena like earthquakes and flooding) yea..that's geography. i suppose there's probably more to it then just that, but really the scope covered at the "O" and "A" level has already kept me more than intrigued...
