So I am more than halfway through with my exams. Left with 2 more papers with a little break in between. Well, so far, the experience has not been a really pleasant one, except for today's paper, which I have intention to s/u it. Public transport to school in the morning during exam times is also a horrible experience, causing me to arrive just on the dot for my soci paper.

well, 2 more papers and it will be thailand for one whole month!

I always have these type of bad dreams during exam period or close to exam results release date.

(1) I was seated in the exam hall, all ready to start. Then I flipped open the paper, something very unfamiliar appears in front of me. I know I have studies about these things before, but yet I don't have a clear memory of it. E.g. During last sem exam, I dreamt that I was doing a calculus problem. I have done it before (back in JC) but I have forgotten how to do it.

(2) I got back my results and I freaking got C for my modules!!! I even dreamt I failed my alevels, just like my normal results during JC. I did however have sweet dreams of getting CAP 5.0 for one of the sems...

(3) I woke up and I realise I overslept! I tried to run around the house to gather my stuff, but they could not be found. As the clock ticks away, I stand there, almost wanting to cry! I am so freaking screwed! I still remember, for my SE1101E paper which was in the evening, I was so tired at 1+ pm and I wanted to take a short nap for 2 hours. I even set both my h.p. and my alarm clock to make sure either one doesn't fail. And in that short 2 hr nap, I actually had this terrible dream and I woke up with my heart palpating.

Just last night, a new type of exam nightmare being added to the list: It was supposed to be an open book exam but when I reached the exam hall, everyone was saying, it is not an open book. I went "Shit! I am doomed!"

When i woke up this morning, I immediately double checked if all my open book exams are indeed open book. Yup.... It is still 3 open book exams.

Recently, the newspapers are flooded with news on AWARE, where a supposingly religious group affliated exco took over the organisation in what many say is a coup. Many felt that it was this group that is trying to spread their religious values that is against homosexuality through the feminist group. Much of things going on and the takeover was in secrecy, and this fueled more speculations and actions from others, mainly the pro-homosexuality group of people. Well, I was reading the papers today and they did show their viewpoint of anti-homosexuality. This confirms the speculations of many and I am really interested to see what will happen during their AGM in may. I feel sad that people are pitting their own religious values to the values of others. I mean, everyone has a right to believe in what they choose to believe in and by enforcing what you believe on others, is it really what your religion wants you to do? I have been rather disturbed by the way some of these religious group try to spread their word, even coming straight to my doorsteps. Well, this isn't some anti-religious group thing going on here but I am just sad to see that some sexual minoirty groups don't even have a space of their own. Let's see how this saga is going to end.

p.s. the term 'religious group' used here to avoid any direct reference to any specific group.

"As I looked down on the world, I began to let go of it. I let go of white picket fences and cars and driveways, coffee cups and vacuum cleaners. I let go of all those things which seemed so ordinary but when you put them together, they make up a life, a life that really was one of a kind. I’ll tell you something. It’s not hard to die when you know you have lived, and I did. Oh, how I lived.”

today was just hell loads of fun! like what jon says, it's my last day as a year 2!

was hanging out the whole day with the geog soc peeps.... went for immunization jab with the 2 weis, which cost me a bomb. next up was kbox, dinner at HV and then a talk cock/gossip/bitching session at a cafe... It has been a while since i caught up with many of them, like bk and elaine as we are all taking different modules. In fact, i am taking different modules from them.. e.g. the whole world is doing enviromental sustainability and i am not. seriously, i can't imagine how my uni life will be like without this grp of ppl....

and we have started to plan for thailand trip! still heading to bkk after FS but will change plans if things get chaotic there.. alreadly planning to go shop, massage, dye hair, club (funny since i dun club in sg), and watch p**n in hotel (mentioned by someone)!

ok. had enough fun! time to mug!

argh!! we will no longer be stopping by Bangkok for FS09 due to the political situation in the capital.

I want to visit BKK! I want to witness the chaos in the city, run about the city completing the 24 hr project. I am very much a 'city' person so I am really looking forward to visiting the city.

Shall hope that the situation in Bangkok will be resolved and I can drop by for a few days after Chiangmai.

How sad..... spending half of a public holiday in school instead of in bed...

But it is ok. Just one more report to go before i am free from all the projects and assignment. gonna enjoy myself for 2 days first before mugging. After all that mugging, it will be 5 weeks in Thailand! We just had the FS briefing and many of us were already so excited. We will be travelling from Songkhla to Krabi, then Khao Lak, Bangkok, Khon Kaen and lastly Chiangmai. I will then be flying back to Bangkok for a few more days before returning to SG. One whole month out of Singapore. How exciting!

And lastly, I want to say be careful of what you blog. Lecturers do read ur blog, so don't bitch or make fun of him or her online. As evidenced from biophysical lecture, Dr Lu showed us some of the comments on him which he found online. A search on google showed all the blog with those comments. It was defintely the highlight of the whole lecture.

The funniest was:

who on Earth names their sons PP and XX (abbrevation used to avoid my blog being surfed by him)???! And why do I have this funny feeling that these guys belong in some live-action version of 老夫子?
