✨ Highlights of the Week
ugh… last week was rough. had a stomachache – not the normal kind, the kind where the pain sits in your upper stomach and just doesn’t go away. it lasted all the way till yesterday. and guess what, now i’ve got a running nose + sore throat on top of it. what a week 💀
i’ve always believed in using my mind to control my body. staying disciplined, pushing through, all that. but when you’re actually sick? it’s a completely different story man. your body just doesn’t listen.
and it made me think – why are humans so weak? we can achieve great things, be successful, get rich… but what’s the ending? we all die.
so what is the meaning of life? this isn’t some random thought that popped up. i’ve been thinking about this since… secondary school days? i don’t want to live happy. i want to live hard. i want to invest my time in things i won’t feel regretful about. i want to achieve great things and help people.
all these thoughts just came flooding back again, and honestly, i’m really grateful for that. felt like this whole week of being sick was just a reminder – i can’t waste more time. life is short.
📝 Reading Insights
no books this week – been fully locked in preparing for my TCX2101 and TCX1002 tests. most of my “reading” was just grinding through notes and practice problems.
i did write up a calculus cheatsheet covering chapters 1.1–3.4 which honestly helped a lot with organising everything in my head.
🎤 Beatboxing
the grime routine artsy made for me is getting more and more mature – i can feel the progress. but honestly, it’s still not at the standard i want. it’s not smooth and clean yet. so yeah, gonna keep putting in the work and sticking to my 5 mins daily practice.
had to skip a few days while i was sick tho… hais. but we move.
💪 Gym
hit 40kg for 7 reps on dumbbell flat bench press!!!!!! that’s a new PR and i’m hyped about it 🔥
