I guess there must be some truth in the saying "Time waits for no man". Cliche as it gets, I have to admit that this saying is really, really applicable to me right now. I avoid taking on as much commitments as others, not wanting to overload my schedule and leaving myself with no time to rest. Yet, so many things seem to be demanding my attention all at the same time. It's going to be Chinese New Year soon, and I have never, ever been this unprepared for it. My room's pretty much the same as it has been the past year - in fact, it has probably accumulated much more junk that deserves to go into the dustbin. Being in hall, and having some hall commitments (regardless of how slight) also means that I am unable to help my mum when it comes to CNY preparations and I feel so bad about it. Sitting there in the car, hearing mama shark chatting about the stuff that she still needed to do, but unable to help her. It's times like these when I really wish that my sis was sensible enough to help out at home.
This lack of time issue hits me really hard when I find myself actually doing my readings in week 1. Geeky AND dorky. It's only week 1 and I'm already lacking in sleep, can you actually believe that? It doesnt help that Mel is equally busy as well that I turn into LonelyGirl91 and I find myself craving more and more for the holidays. Sadly, CNY holidays are not going to be a respite for me - I'm actually getting stressed out wondering how on earth am I going to juggle my gatherings together with my commitments at hall. As it is, I'm going to miss the annual CNY dinner with the maternal family because I have Chingay on the same day. Damm.
