and so, the sheer amount of free time i have on my hands now is resting on my hands as useless as joanne's ipod. I often complain that i dont have enough free time on my hands. However, now that i have it, i squander it away at such a rate that the day is over before it has even begun..
you know that feeling? when you wake up at 1pm, find something to eat, watch some tv, and then BOOM!! its dinner time, you eat again and watch more TV. Then its kinda time to go to bed.
so you lie in bed, thinking:"man, this feels familiar.. didnt i just wake up?" then you shrug your shoulders and go "whatever" and then close your eyes.
your day is over..
so here it is, its lianglin's plan to make good use of his last month out in society before getting conscripted and shipped onto tekong..
i actually have a few propositions, some are more applicable than others. I'll just list them out here for my own convienience. hope you guys dont mind.
Plan Number 1
Go train up for army.... like, go gym, running, swimming, resume weekly kickabouts..
pros: will feel healthier, look trimmer and overall, be fitter as a person and be ready for army.
cons: hafta go pay for a gym membership, drag my ass out of my house and onto the running track.
Overall: basically, just have this inertia i need to overcome before i actually get to excecute the plan. and besides, it would take tremendous willpower on my part to follow through with this plan..
verdict: nay
Plan Number 2.
Hit the library really often and be a bookworm, looking up everything.. trashy sci-fi novels, sleazy romance novels that i can share with j**** after i saw a glimpse of what i saw her reading today.
Pros: well, you cant really lose out from reading too much.. unless if you are clym yeobright, who goes blind because he reads too much.. ironic for someone who has the word "bright" in his name. and besides, i will be so knowledgeable.. well, depending on what i actually read.
Cons: well, going blind........ other than that, nothing much....
overall: this would be one of the more viable paths to take during this period. ya know.. to rein in the exponential decay of my vocabulary ever since i left school.. and besides, i'll have an excuse not to go back to work..
verdict: aye!
Plan 3: find a job.................
Pros: earn money, be occupied, learn new things you cant learn from books or from school..
Cons: lack of time for self, (which was why i left my previous job in the first place) besides.. there arent many employers out there who would want to hire an ex-door to door merchandiser for only a month.. and also, 95% of the jobs out that i qualify for are not really attractive, as in, its either a store assitant, or some sales assistant.. or marketing officer, which is just a title for a salesman..
overall: fair plan.. pretty balanced pros and cons..
Verdict: aye, if a suitable one comes along. thats a VERY VERY HUGE IF..
Plan Number 4.
Learn Cooking.
buy recipies, get pots and pans, ingredients to experiment with..
pros: this might just be the most fun out of the 4.. you would never know what i would cook up in the kitchen.. haha.. Furthermore, i am such a foodie myself... instead of buying all that food, why not just make it myself? and i think it would be fun.. ya know.. taste tests, grocery shopping, trial and error.. and the ladies would absolutely adore a guy that can cook right? so there you have it.. i shall start by learning how to boil water.. ok im kidding. i'll start by making a hard-boiled egg.. yup..
Cons: burn kitchen down, mass food poisoning, chopping finger off, outrage of modesty to chicken..... that kinda thing...
overall, this is the one that intrigues me the most.. and has the most potential for fun..
verdict: a resounding AYE!!
Final analysis....... ok.. im too tired now, why dont you, people who read this, suggest which one i shall attempt.. or better yet, suggest a few of your own now that the tagboard is around.. :) goodnight folks..
