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.
