It's been 3 days and I've decided to try out reporting to work from my very own home from next week onward. I know it's going to be super duper duper x100 uncomfortable for me because I simply hate taking trains but... bo bian. I'M HOMESICK! What's the difference between the train and the bus? Well... I don't know. If standing, it sucks to stand on the bus. If sitting, it sucks to be sitting on the train. People out there don't judge me to be a whiny Singaporean. Well... Staying here and at home has it's pros and cons but I guess I just love my bed the most no matter how comfortable it is right here at my aunt's. No place like home, keep telling that to myself. My smallest aunt is a rather funny and easy to live with person too. Unique things about her, 1. She does not save electricity. I know not save-the-world lah and not saying I like her being this way. 2. She uses only disposable utensils. 3. She does not drink mineral water at all. Only drinks like sprite. I know unhealthy lah but she's a nurse mind you. 4. She doesn't go to work when she don't feel like it. I'm not sure about this point because she told me she was at home on a working day because she was simply too lazy to go to work! Not listing her bad points and badmouth her but somehow she's the aunt I can communicate the best with. With 6 aunts in total on one side of the family, I think it's impossible to be able to communicate with all of them! As expected before, I am homesick. And I mean, really really homesick. Like on a ranking upon 10 I would give it a 8.5? 10 is the point where I would just pack up and go home right now, this instant. Damn, what kind of spell has my home put me underrrr? Another thing, I am getting sick which is really irritating because I'm always trying to hold my cough or sniffing (Whatever you call it?) because I have blocked nose. Now is soooo not the time to get sick right!? Alright, the main point of my post now. It's been 3 days of work and working is really really different from studying. Yes, I know people always only notice when they go out to working life and people with experience would always go "I told you so!" when people like me experience it for the first time. -.- Overall, what I think right now, as someone who has worked for 3 days, would be that working does have it's good points over studying too. In my opinion. I guess it also depend on individual? I won't act as an expert of myself because the hardest person to know is yourself and I agree to that saying. I know that I am someone who can work and focus when I am.... STRESSED. I guess I can say that stress is my source of motivation? Honestly, I can say that I have not been stressed alot in my life before because I don't really get stressed when I study, just when I have to meet datelines for submissions. On the other hand, working life is different because I am stressed from all the responsibilities I have to take. Working would definitely mean you have more responsibilities and I guess I have abit more because I'm also struggling and trying my best to live independently away from home (Although quite fail already lah now haha). When I am stressed, it is motivation for me to work hard. I guess this is the first time I am up to this stress level where I actually do things and focus like really well. Because I can double confirm plus chopchop that I am someone who is always easily distracted. But hey, now it's different when I'm working. ;) Of course, working is tiring because you're using your brain all day and you're busy and blah blah. Somehow I don't get really tired and I feel really awake after work. This is the saying of a 3rd day intern though. No guarantee that it would last to the end. Actually, I also doubt it lah. Hahaah. I guess I don't really mind that much (Not entirely!) about other's expectations but mine because I just expect so much of myself now. I don't know why but yeah, I've to learn as much as I can. Of course not too much at once because you have to learn to swallow before you take in more or you will choke. Okay, that sentence abit rubbish but I typed it anyway. Turning in early because of early reporting tomorrow! Signing off~
