Back to working.

March 9, 2014

Have been doing things like watching dramas, videos, blogshopping... for the past 2 weeks.  Have to give up all of these for something greater. I have already started work back at my internship place - Clinical Nutrition Research Centre, mainly helping with food diaries. That's all I can reveal, everything else remains confidential.

I decided to work, as I don't think I would enjoy being at home for long... like half a year? 1 year? at home wasting time and money (online shopping)? I decided to work and to apply what I have learnt in school and also to get exposed to new things and experiences, and of course to support myself, in terms of shopping, food and even my korean lessons.

I am currently learning korean at Dae Han Education Centre, the nearest I could find near where I live. So far so good, teacher is really patient and kind. With korean classes on top of my daily work, it's just so busy that I don't have time to read blogs, use social media platforms for long (except twitter and instagram), watch my dramas/music shows etc. Even now when I am at work, I have little time to see updates from my friends. This is good and bad... good is that I know I can survive without social media as long as I am pre-occupied with something else. and the bad is I really don't know what's going on outside until hours later when I get off from work.

I wouldn't deny that having to work at a place so far from home is tiring. But, the environment at work makes me feel at ease. So i guess it's all worth it, rather than having a job so near home yet have harsh environment, like mean colleagues or bosses isn't that good afterall. However, if thee's a nearby job and have relatively good environment, that would be the best option.

Have also been starting to walk back home from the MRT station after work everyday so I can save 73cents and the soon to be 77cents (starting april), and I actually can burn 30calories each time I walk home in 10minutes. 30 calories is not be underestimated, especially if you already have a sedentary lifestyle, even by walking can help start to change your life for the better. I feel happier as well, cause I don't have to get annoyed by bus that takes so long to come or that I miss the bus right infront of my eyes. I can now walk back home listening to music. 

Time passes so fast when I attend my korean lessons. I have 1.5hr lesson twice a week. That 1.5hr just fly past, while each time we learn a handful of words. So glad I can now read hangeul although without knowing its meaning. Next lesson is finally on greetings and other stuff. The basic foundation of reading hangeul is done!!! We had a little quiz and I think I did well. But, still going to work harder in order to improve more and at a faster pace.

Ohhh and my inspired Gold New Balance shoes is with me already! So pretty! Bought it off Taobao ~ $22 only inclu. shipping. Cheaper and nicer than some blog/insta shops :)

This was how it looked like on the TaoBao shop.


How can I not fall in love with this baby??? So pretty! This is different from the other shops because of the "N" symbol, this is sewed on, and instashops stocks have a cut in design and reveals a reflective gold N instead.


It also came with a pair of cute bear socks! and it was packed really nicely. Nicely meaning that each shoe (left and right) were packed in a dust bag INDIVIDUALLY in a shoebox!


Gold is so classic! Can't wait to wear it out soon!


Just in case if you are wondering how do I shop on Taobao, I usually buy my stuff thru an agent. They will help to place order on your behalf. My items usually takes about max. 2 weeks to reach me.


Hope everyone will have a bright week ahead just like my new shoes! Fighting, endure another week and embrace the weekends again!
