A moment spent alone doing something I enjoyed

A moment spent alone? In the lives of a secondary school student in one of the top schools in Singapore, that rarely happens.

Anyway, I have a very hectic schedule nowadays in my secondary school life, mainly due to my Co-curricular Activites (CCAs) and my Regional Studies Programme (RSP). My CCA is Concert Band and I play the flute in it. I spend a lot of time there as the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) is coming and a lot of pressure is put on us. Which is why I have barely and time to myself.

My schedule is basically waking up at 6 in the morning to prepare for school. School ends at about 4 plus in the afternoon on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, whereas on Wednesdays and Fridays, school ends at about 6.30pm due to my band practices. It is a 45minute ride home if I take the bus. When I reach home, I immediately take a shower and eat my dinner, which leaves me left with about two to three hours to do my school work and study.

In other words, I have no free time during the weekdays.

Anyway, I spend my time alone doing something I enjoy like surfing the net, like watching youtube videos or playing Maplestory. Playing Maplestory has been my favourite pastime since young and I still do it every weekends, provided that I have the time to do so.

Even though playing computer games is not good for our results, I feel that it is fine as long as you do not get addicted and play long hours everyday.

I enjoy playing Maplestory because first of all, my friends and classmates are playing it. Playing a game alone may not be that fun, but when you are playing in groups, that's where games start to get exciting. That's what's friends are for. I don't play during the weekdays as I have no free time to myself in the weekdays. My time management is decent, so I can get to play Maplestory during the weekends.

I feel that managing our time is very important for us and we all have to do it. I feel that as long as one can manage his time very well, he will certainly succeed in life.
