Self-analysis 2006


Physically
Haven done any serious cardio-vascular workout since disrupting from army... so I guess my already lousy stamina is 惨不忍睹 now... Please jio me out for jogging/swimming...

Psychologically
I think how I function mentally is quite weird... I've got imaginary worlds stored in the back of my head... and I frequently play out the stories of the characters in it like a movie in my head, especially when I'm bored/cannot sleep/stressed(need to be distracted from the stressful situation at hand)...yup..that's how I handle anxiety/loneliness/boredom/insomnia... I also need short term goals to keep me going. For example, I need to have something to look forward to in the next few days/weeks, be it an outing/project/event/holiday.. or else i will be damn sian and unmotivated..

Emotionally
I think I've got a low EQ. I am extremely impatient and I think I have a short fuse when I'm tired/stressed. I allow my gut feelings/mood to affect my decisions too much. I seriously nid to improve in this area... so that I wun lose my patience to patients in the future... and another weird thing is that I am extremely sensitive to sound when just after I wake up... I get irritated by even the smallest of noises... that's why I rather sacrifice sleep and wake up extra early to avoid the morning crowd..

Academically
I think I'm still managing well so far.. "Well" for me means pass comfortably.. seriously I'm not aiming for distinction or dean's list or wadever.. I'm just satisfied wif a decent grade... and I seriously think I got dean's list for last yr becos I was lucky... this year, my grades so far are just average... so please dun give me pressure or have certain expectations of me... I just wan to get a grade that is proportional to the work I put in... that's all =)

Financially
I think I'm managing quite okay-ly in this aspect bah... You wun see me driving a car / eating in a posh restaurant anytime soon, but I can still afford to treat myself to a nice meal once in a while, and mebbe pamper myself wif a gadget/upgrade my com once in a very very long while... but the outlook is not very optimistic lar... cos i may have to cut down on my tuition assignments once i enter clinical years and i still have my study loan to 解决 when I graduate...

Socially
I have a high activation energy barrier in this aspect. Meaning I find it very hard to interact wif people I dunno... I sometimes think I'm damn 哑巴 especially around ppl I not 熟 wif.. another aspect I have to improve if I want to be able to tokkok wif patients in the future.. this also explains why my social circle is so small... i nid to make more frens.. 好友满天下.. haha

Aesthetic/misc skills
Rusty. Because of the increasing workload, I'm finding less and less time to embark on non-academic projects... so I'm on the decline in skills like web-design, flash animation, music...etc... hopefully I can remedy this... and becos I promised someone... I shall go and practise my guzheng... hopefully this appeases someone...

Forecast for 2007
Extremely challenging year ahead, with periods of extreme stress predicted. More CAs, more cramming/mugging, more exams! Clinicals coming! Even more mugging and stress! But also looking forward to more fun and more gatherings =) Anyway life would be boring w/o some challenges rite? 不愿途中无波浪,无挑战. 逾经挫折,生命逾灿烂!
