#1 Survival


  
  The picture truly depicts how monotonous and dull my week has been. From the start till the end, life revolved around submissions, mid semester tests and presentations. It was not until after everything had ended that I had the time to surf the Internet on the way to meet my mother for dinner that I came across an article on Facebook titled "8 Things Every Person Should Do  Before 8am" (It's worth a read!). It struck me how practically everyone shuffling around me at the train station were pretty much lifeless zombies consumed by their thoughts and smartphones.

  The article suggested that we are all living on 'Survival Mode' where we do not think much of what we have to do, we just do it. Life itself has become so repetitive that we no longer take the time to appreciate what we are doing. To be honest, it is really difficult to appreciate anything in the midst of all the endless assignments but the article mentioned that it is our choice to step out of this 'Survival Mode' and decide to make a difference. The article then proceeds to list out eight steps we can take to change our lives.

  Apparently, the most important step of all is to get 7+ hours of healthy uninterrupted sleep! (I'm still working on it!) I think we would all agree that the idea of getting more sleep sounds extremely appealing, don't we? (The irony, I'm writing this post at 12.40am) Well, I guess we would all also agree that it would be nice to have more than 24 hours in a day so that we can do more of what we like yet finish our work. Since the upcoming week would be recess week (FINALLY), I will definitely be catching up on my sleep debt.

  Well, just a brief thought for the first post up on this blog :-). Dinner with mother was great! We went to Naked Finn at Gillman Barracks. The fish we had was really fresh and tender. Though it would be rather difficult to get there without a car (which is why I have to get my license soon), I really would not mind going back for their Fresh Coconut Sorbet which my stomach did not have the capacity to take in.

  Till next time!
