Getting around 'city'

I don't feel like studying now, so let me post something about my feeling today.
After 3 years in Singapore, I still can't remember the ways around 'city' (Orchard Road- Beras Basah Road-Marina Square) =.= I also still cannot estimate how much time needed to go from one place to another place (I forgot that Orchard Road is crowded on Sunday!!)

I don't really feel sad about it, but today I was kinda reminded how rarely I go out during school term. There's nothing bad about it, but I can't help comparing it to my family ritual in Indo.

We attend mass at 8.30 am, then we always eat noodle together. In the afternoon, most of the times we go out to a shopping mall with my uncle's family. We don't really walk together everywhere in shopping mall. We usually split after we had lunch or dinner, but anyway, it's a family 'ritual' to go out together, especially 2 families. If I teach on Sunday, we'll attend the earliest mass at 6.30 am or Sunday evening because we usually go out on Saturday evening too.

When I was in Indo, I have this principle "NEVER STUDY ON WEEKEND!" I did study on Sunday, but only half a day. I only broke this principle when I was preparing myself for NUS Entrance Exam. Here in NUS there's no such principle. Actually now I don't really study on Saturday, but I do my homework at night. I usually study on Sunday (at least TRY to study on Sunday), but not because I want to study, it's because I'll end up feeling lonely if I don't study. But...when I was in Indo, my Monday to Friday was superhectic!! I really studied every day. There's no such thing like stoning in front of laptop doing useless thing (like what I do every day in NUS, now the bad habit is slightly decreased, thank God!). That's why I feel reluctant to NOT study on Sunday, coz I don't think I deserve the whole day as a break. :(

Anyway, the post doesn't match the title (as usual).
Gonna have dinner now and seriously study. At least this post is a reminder for me to make good use of my time. I'll take a proper break next Sunday and study well the whole week. Promise! :)
