Just want to take this time to really share my gratefulness of what had happened to me in this semester of my Year Two~
There was times which I was feeling down and living stressed and felt emptiness.. During July, I was intended to join some activities in school, so I came back to Singapore a little bit earlier ( like 3 weeks earlier).. Surprisingly, I found that I went back too late, most activities had started, that would imply that I could not join any activities... For a few days, I felt really down and clueless, just sleep, rest and my room.. nothing to do.. This is the time which breakthrough occurs in my life, I really want to thank God for opening opportunitieS to me after that. I managed to joined in Green Carnival 2008, a major environmental event in NUS, as event committee. After that, I am very pleased to have another opportunity to serve the NUS community and NUSSU SAVE as a project director of one of the project (Save3s, a project to reduce consumption of paper in NUS).
That was not all, I got successful in audition of being a bassist in NUS CAC VOICES, which I desired to have last year. Now I am preparing for our concert next friday. Other than that, I am also very pleased to be given opportunity to be IT Secretary in Engineering Science Programme (ESP, my major)Sub Club.
Through these opportunities, I really got to know many peoples and friends in Singapore, which I never experienced during my first year. Now, I am very happy with this lifestyle and enjoying my studies here..
The studies are tough though, but to another extent, it is enjoying! I enjoy asking questions, enjoy doing projects with my group members. Love the things I am studying~!
Really want to take this chance to thank God and really want to record these things down somewhere. So that it can be remained in my memories and when I looked back, I will feel blessed and be grateful for the time I am having now..
=) Will update soon! Gonna do my COMSOL modelling now.... =.=|||

Change is a desire for everyone. It is true that our situations won’t change by time. Our situations only change when our thinking starts to change. We should not be stagnant in life because being stagnant is implying that we are being backslidden. Therefore, we should change ourselves if we want our situations to change. But how do we bring changes to ourselves? One of the ways to bring change is to remember that when we want to get where we want to go, we should start where we are currently. Famous American author Napoleon Hill said, “The way to develop decisiveness is to start right where you are, with the very next question you face.” As a result, it is important for us to have decisiveness in our lives.
According to the definition in Oxford dictionary, decisiveness is the ability to decide something clearly and quickly. Yet another successful businessman Lee Iacocca said, “If I had to sum up in a word what makes a good manager, I'd say decisiveness. You can use the fanciest computers to gather the numbers, but in the end you have to set a timetable and act.” Therefore, decisiveness is a crucial property to bring change.
However, things do not run smooth when we want to change. There is always enemy for everyone and everything, so is decisiveness. The enemy of decisiveness is ambivalence. Ambivalence is defined as the showing of both good and bad feeling about something. In other words, ambivalence is the constant fluctuation between two things. That implies that we cannot decide things fast and appropriately. With this enemy, a natural reaction will be following up, this reaction is procrastination.
With this opportunity, I would like to share 9 steps to overcome this problem of procrastination in our lives. First of all, we should
Activate our planner If we fail to plan, we plan to fail. It is important to start everything by planning. A to-do list is a very effective planner because we can delete whatever thing we have done. We can easily check our progress and this can give us encouragement to carry on.
Break large tasks When we are facing a large pile of documents to type, large amount of project to complete, a long essay to write and we don’t know where to start. It is good to start by breaking up part by part and finish each part in each period of time. This will truly lessen our pressure.
Create deadlines It is important to create deadlines prior to the official deadlines. This can enable us to have time for editing and train up our time management skills.
Deal with the mess Despite everything else, we should be well-organized. Do not get amazed by seeing a pile of works in a person’s office, it is nothing but implying that they are really NOT ORGANISED.
Encourage yourself Say positive word to yourself instead of discouraging words. It gives no cost to encourage oneself.
Face your face Don’t run away from the problem. Face it! The problem will not be solved until you choose to face it and solve it.
Goal review It is important to have a goal review after every time we have completed some tasks. This can enable us to evaluate how good our works are. At the same time, it can be a source of encouragement too!
Hang on, don’t give up! Even if we are facing a lot of things and we started to feel collapsed and desperate. We should not give up! Instead, we should always remember that this is a transition to success.
Initiate now! After getting know of all of these plans and works. We should initiate, but we should not just initiate. We should initiate now!
I believe through all these, we will have victory over procrastination. At the meantime, I want to send all of you a blessing that you will be successful in everything you did! ( It is as easy as ABCDEFGHI right? :))
