Its quite weird to have sundays that stretch straight into mondays without any significant difference. I'm not complaining, but after a while being on a constant holiday doesn't give life any highs (or lows for that matter) as it normally would on weekends and much awaited public holidays. My life is in limbo, generally. I keep telling myself that I will start working or doing something fulltime to keep myself occupied and top up my bank account when all my Uni plans are settled. But from the looks of it, it might still take some 2 months! Perhaps even more than that. In that 2 months, I hope to be able to meet up with more friends and really spend quality time with all that people that matter. I guess that's really one of the main reasons why I decided to free myself of unimportant temporary jobs that occupied me fully, and resulted in the neglect of friendships over aimless small money chase. Seriously, earning $6 an hour gets you nowhere unless you slog it out office hours Monday to Saturday.

Also, I also want to use the time wisely by reading - embarking on Finding Darwin's God now which I have to say its no easy task. Its actually a scientific approach to evolution by a biology lecturer at Brown Uni, but that twist is that he is a Christian. Its actually quite intriguing - for the parts I understand and am awake to truly digest - and relevant for good ole me who might just end up pursuing a hard-core academia major of Biology in London, especially since evolution is always cited as the cornerstone of Biology. In addition, I have decided to learn Malay since its about time I learn a third language, and it has practical usages for me. i.e. what with an indonesian maid so doesn't speak english.

I also aspire to spend learning God's word and growing in it - going to take steps towards that by attending YWAM night classes and courses held in church! I'm also pretty excited about going for missions if I get the chance to soon, though that is still being worked out. If not, I will really like to go on one of the humanitarian trips that I know of to help teach english or drama to kids in China/India. I guess I look forward to a good break away from the monotonous drone of life in Singapore, that stretches on and on and on.

So there are quite a number of things I wish to do in my free time, and at times like this when I'm utterly bored and idle I have to remind myself that I have freed myself of work responsibilities for better reasons, and that I should be truly appreciative of having so much time on my hands to add more meaning to my life.
