As we move plunge full on into the bridging course, things are getting heated up. Files of readings and the barrage of new words are burying us under while we struggle to get on top of them. We have endless assignments to complete and materials to preview and review. However it is necessary for us to find simple pleasure in order to keep us motivated as well as enjoy our life to the fullest.
Non-curricular activity is a good way to seek for pleasure in life. There is a wide range of non-curricular activities to choose from. Options include outdoor activities, visits to sites, city and cultural tours, and eating and shopping sprees. For instance, I ate out with my six friends studying in NTU on Feb14. Having chaffy dish together provided us a chance to talk a lot freely. Since the last time we met on Chinese New Year, we had the luxury of an evening together for the first time. We shared our happiness and sorrow in a thrill. All of us had a good time as the pictures indicate.
Apart from non- curricular activities, we can manage to find simple happiness by immersion in the world around us. Maybe our happiness stem from a lovely bird, a fabulous flower or even the smile on others’ face. On the contrary, as we blind us in the midst of hustle and bustle, we are missing the simple pleasure in life. What we should do is open our eyes to a wide world instead of solely burying ourselves in assignments.
Overall, partaking of non-curricular and immersion in the surrounding world are just some of the ways you can find simple happiness. They give you a new start in every morning. Slow down, put your life on hold and do not end up missing the joys of life passing you by every day.
I should say with time passing by, as we get more and more familiar with the life in Singapore, the passion of being new here has faded away and the curiosity of exploring a new world is gradually disapear little by little. That is why we need to find out something to recheer ourselves in the prevention of being bored. Instead of staying at home, going out is a good choice. We can meet friends, go jogging, go shopping. These are all little happiness in life that you may not be awae of. Try to notice some little happiness in your life, you may find that life is, for sure, not as boring as you think.
