The reality of having no day job has not started to sink in yet as my first weekday without employment was actually spent quite productively. I spent the morning in NUS certifying my transcripts and the afternoon helping my in-laws with an errand.
For the first time in years, I had decent sleep. My Fitbit registers about 5.5 hours of sleep on a normal weekday when I needed to go to work the next day, yesterday I had the luxury of having 7.5 hours of sleep and great rainy weather to complement my first full night of rest.
When I woke up I had grains and cereal for breakfast, something which I hated in the past because they took too long to chew and made me late for work. Now, even though I hate cereal, I had the whole morning to finish my breakfast so there's no excuse anymore. This meant more energy for the rest of the day, and no carbohydrate-induced coma after lunch.
Lunch was also different. In the past, I would choose any stall with a short queue and always came off thinking that food in Singapore tastes bad and is overpriced. Today. I went to a hawker centre and deliberate went for the food with the longest queue and had probably had one of the best Wanton Mee in Singapore for $3 ( It was at Clementi hawker centre ).
I also saved on coffee, as I no longer require a shot of caffeine to concentrate on my approval papers.
I think the insight I had for today is that a hidden side of Singapore exists once you escape the rat race :
So long as you are not competing for resources with the rest of the corporate world, transportation rides are leisurely, food and even movies can be cheap.
PSLE results play a significant role in determining students' placement in secondary schools. High performers gain access to prestigious institutions, while others may enter different academic streams tailored to their abilities and interests. As such, PSLE outcomes have a lasting impact on students' educational journeys and future opportunities.
