Woohoo, finally I took my last paper of the semester and it feels so good. Suddenly I am no longer under any stress of any form. But here's the catch, I'm starting work on Tuesday!! Sigh.. I don't even have time to enjoy myself and I have to work myself to death. Working with children ain't easy, it takes quite a while for the child to understand you and once they do, all hell breaks loose.
But I gotta thank God that everything has been planned out nicely for me. It's just so 'coincidence' that my exams finish last Sat so I can start work on Tuesday. If I have any modules that ends on this Thursday, I can say goodbye to my job. So like what I always say. Nothing happens without a purpose, there is no such things as coincidence.
Well, this holiday is the long break for me. I hope to accomplish quite a lot of things in this holiday.
1) practise my piano until it's rottenly good
2) pass my FTT
3) revise my driving and hopefully can get a test date and pass it.
4) read up on the books that I have been dying to read.
5) grow closer to God, somehow, I have drifted away during the exam season
So I gotta get going to get some things done. See ya soon.

Exams exams and more exams
When will it ever end, I really wonder... when do I have to stop taking exams? I look at the stack of notes and books on my table, I really wonder.. The night grows longer and colder, eyes go weary and tired, the bed looks so inviting and revision looks so boring... Feel like jumping off to bed right now but I still have tons of stuff yet to be covered, arrgh, so tired.. Haiz, having a bout of depression due to exams.. wonder why am I doing this when this is my last sem in science... Looks like the books are beckoning me back into the myriad of words... Tata for now..

Weird Dream: Exam stress?
Exam stress my mom calls it. Weird, I'd rather say it. But here is the dream of last night.
I dreamt that Singapore was going to war and I was part of the troops going to fight. So at the warfront, everything was issued: bullets, grenades, filling water etc. Then there was a pep talk by some Minister of defence and meeting the loved ones for a final farewell. Soon it was time to head to the battlefield then I realised that I did not bring my SBO(Skeleton battle order: Just for info, the SBO is the most standard piece of a carry pouch every soldier must have, it houses 2 water bottles, 8 magazines of 30 bullets and a jacket for wet/cold weather.) I panicked on the spot rushing here and there looking for any substitute but I can't find any so I asked my OC what to do, then he told me off said I must be 'eat snake', scared to go to war so purposely forget to bring the SBO. I got so angry that I woke up.
Weird dream right? Lol.. I can't believe it myself. But everyone looks so real, even my pals from army and the 'beautiful language' that my OC scolded me. Maybe it's really exam stress.. Haha..

The End of all things: Credits
Oh man!! I can't believe that it's another end of a semester already that means that the exams are peeking right out of the corner.. It's COMING.. NOOOOO!!!
I have to say, this was a great semester although some modules can be quite a killer. But my fav module SSA2211- Singapore: Evolution of a Global City State is the best. Being a science person and able to score in this history module seems weird to me but it's just neat to know that I have a knack for history.. another new discovery of myself.. Another thing to add is Mr Kwa is the 1st cousin of our dear PM Lee Hsien Long.. Amazing right!!
Another one of my fav module is PC1327 - Science of Music. Happened to take this module with Zhichun who took it for cross-fac but I took it for fun as I'm not supposed to take it bcos I'm a physics major but Who Cares! I'm a FASS student in the next sem. Anyway it's a good exposure for me both in physics and music aspects and have to say Prof Bernand Tan is a good droner. Drones all day but doesn't care if anyone is listening. On the other hand, he has a great many accomplishments if you happen to visit his webpage..
The rest of the modules are not so nice but one worth mentioning is PC1144, Prof Frank Watt is one of the slackest lecturers I've seen in Science Fac, he comes empty-handed into the LT, access his website to get the lecture notes and presto, let's begin our lecture.. I was impressed at his level of using technology to the max to his slackest advantage. But on a note to add, he's a good lecturer, he is able to get the ideas and concepts across without much hindrances maybe bcos of his size as he always uses his body as a living example..
Well, it's the end of a fruitful sem with exams left to go.. Hope I'll do well in the exams and score at least an A which I missed in sem1 and then I can enjoy myself to the fullest in the holidays.. I've so much things planned out for the hols!!
