It's funny how education is still the primary priority in this middle of global pandemic. Schools shut down, jobs based online, some people's priorities have shifted from the normal to being a caretaker and such, and we still have to attend university? I don't know, that doesn't sounds fright with me. Honestly what is in my mind is that how does students with Covid-19 infected family members cope with all of this? Do their schools care about this and still expect them to perform academically?
Anyway, as any other more priviledged students, I was expected to maintain my focus on academic matters. So online class we go
No shit Sherlock online class was hard. It dawned on me how we associate individual's functions with their presence in a space - meaning that just because you are at home, the house duties are automatically all yours, despite your online duties. Despite how much household members try to understand that we sit in front of our online class most of the time they see us, we also have to sit in front of our laptops several hours more to complete our assignment. Productivity is more seen through results, and little to what process has it been through.
Well it, the difficulty, wasn't only faced by me. Everyone gets under everyone's skins, university students who previously wanted to go home wanted to go back to campus just to escape this clashing commitment we fail to dissect just because of our physical presence. Of course, this is not big an issue compared to people losing their jobs and don't have money to buy face masks for daily wear. So just suck it up I guess
So my way of sucking it up through this disconvenience is, as always, through visualisation. I have said before that I always visualise things, it keeps me going forward when the current thing I am working on is wearing me thin. And in this post I am going to share the tools(?)/subjects(?)/person(?) that keep me going
1. iherng on YouTube and Instagram
This guy named Sean Tan does Malaysian property reviews. I haven't watched much (because I keep repeating the video of this one house I reaaally really like 😭) but he does not only luxury 5-million-USD properties, but also the rather more affordable ones. He also makes them educational, by pointing out the pros and cons of each details he spot, which I really really love, and on Instagram he posts short videos of real estate terms and jargons which is goood. I think this is a good start to learn about real estate. I mean, in the future I wouldn't blindly buy (hopefully haha) properties just because FOMO right

2. personal finance contents
I think I read a lot from Suraya ringgitohringgit. This is mainly stemmed from my budding awareness(?) that I have to prep myself to be a full-fledged adult. I have never came across the phrase 'personal finance' by the way, it's always just 'finance'. But as far as I'm going I understand personal finance as personal money management? Not far fetched lol.
Anyway, I think her content is great. She explains various terms, programmes and schemes regarding money that is currently available, and also shares about her way of managing her money and several money hacks she has found or heard of.
I am also currently reading Twitter @financialgory's Enam Angka Menjelang 25. The book is easy to read, and very relaxed. But imho the book is more towards introducing its audience to various aspect of money management, which, I think is okay lah for someone who is a newbie to the such content.
3. pinterest and instagram
Aaaaah visualisation platforms TT
I just started using pinterest, by the way (so late i knoww), making boards of my future house lol. I also made a collage of the future house I want and make it as my phone wallpaper TT. Other than that, I am also following interior design contents in Instagram... and that includes some interior design and furniture companies...
I think that is all.... for this post... sorry if it was rather boring lol.. but yeah.
I think in a way I am merely sharing content/socmed figure I am into nowadays??? But honestly following their contemt keeps me going... so I am just going to conclude that that is how I find my motivation. Sorry to disappoint everyone!!
