holidays

holidays are gone pretty fast. only left with 1/3 of it. While most are taking up part-time, earning pocket money & stuff.. I'm home most of my free time. =) and it may not necessary be a bad thing afterall~ I'm a "homely" person.. haha

I've always looked forwards to holidays, especially this 3mth long break. as we should always plan ahead, holiday plans started way even before the exams ended.. Haha, typical student mentality. while others were looking for jobs, going for interviews & stuff, I've decided to spend this holidays on doing stuff that I like to do.

Firstly, being committed to FOC did take up some time this holidays, especially seeing to issues not settled as the camp date draws near.. At first it was 1 year of planning, nx was left with 3 weeks to seniors camp, now? 7 days to actual camp. =) Being in orientation committee is truly fufilling, doing it not only for the freshies, but also in hope that this FOC spirit will be continued by the nx batch, nx nx batch.....

Next, travelling's always exciting. even when it means just crossing the straits of johor. =) I went malaysia twice this holidays, first on ODAC trip to gunung stong and the second on CampOutReach trip to Pahang & KL. The trips can't be compared, as each was of a different purpose. The first trip was a test of my physical & mental limits. And I can say I'm pretty chui in both aspects. Haha. The second trip was not intended to test myself, but to see others challenge themselves. Both trips really made me learn more about myself, and about the people around me. =) The third one I'll be going is to genting highlands. this trip's main purpose is for me to relax and catch up w some pple..

Third, not that I like studying very much, but I think its good to have some clinical experience outside curriculum. My dad brought me to his friend's clinic at the beginning of the holidays, and since then, I've been going there almost once a week. Get to see herbs, uncle could explain certain stuff to me, and also get to see how to run a small business. But I guess this isn't what I really wanna be. First, it involves capital. Second, it involves lotsa time and effort running such a business, facing competition from everywhere. But it's definitely an experience, dealing with herbs and customers. =)

Fourth, watch dramas! it may seem pointless but I do enjoy watching them. Beats reading thick thick books just to get the same story.. Haha.. but it is so addictive that you can't control.. and you end up sleeping at weird hours. (definitely not very healthy). Other things i did during the holidays.. learned how to cook (abit), organised chalet for post-exams celebrations.. perhaps the nx thing I should get down to do is to pack my room. =P

holidays, what have you done? were they memorable? =)
