Have you ever roused from a mid-afternoon nap to a peculiar sensation of calm and confusion? When you feel completely serene, your senses seem sharper yet numb, as you look at the clock, look out the window, walk around the house and realize nobody’s home? Solitude then creeps inside and you feel vulnerable. You are not even consciously conscious and yet somehow you are because how can you think otherwise. Then slowly, the bubble surrounding you ebbs away, your sense of balance, hearing, sight, smell and touch unites and is restored, your mind/consciousness reels from the surroundings and back into your body. Then everything is normal.
And you type as much as you can about the transient experience you went through, hoping your command of language is adequate enough to capture/describe the strange event.
Ahh.. Afternoon naps.

I was just about to say that people I know haven't been blogging much lately till I saw Yx's blog. Its amazing how she can remember so many details of a day out and blog about it. And I really enjoy reading about them.
So yesterday was my first two tests for the semester. Ok la. I/o was do-able. Unfortunately there's negative marking so I'll just have to wait and see how it goes. The RVI test was over too soon. As in, he flashed the art work for only a few minutes and we had to hastily write our thoughts before the next work is flashed. Stressful man..especially since I have to memorise the title, date, and artist of the paintings/sculptures. Doesnt help that chinese landscape paintings have superbly long names like Li Cheng's 'Scholar walking on mountain path in early spring' or Ma Yan's "Viewing plum blossoms by moonlight" and bla bla bla. And the hardest painting to intepret, Tao Chi's "Man in a house beneath a cliff" came out. Like what the? All I could talk about was the erratic brush strokes and man's desire to be completely engulfed by nature. How brilliant and intepretation is that?! SIGH.
Anyway, as soon as the long day was over (I end wednesdays at 9), I felt as if the world was off of my shoulders.
Also, I think I may have thought of a potential research question for my would-be-if-i-do-well-enough-this-sem thesis.
Yay. Happy day.

I may possibly regret saying this in a few weeks time, but can the CAs and term papers come in already? Im getting bored. Give me homework, assignments... SOMETHING to work for.
Thanks.
Yet another unproductive week ahead I suspect.
If there's a pile of work to be done, I whine. And if there isnt sufficient work to be done to stimulate my brain, I whine as well. Im weird la.
Heading to school soon for a total of 4 hours of lesson. And my total travelling time amounts to 3 hours. Hmm.
Im off!

-Tuition in the morning
-Family time in the afternoon
-Dinner/Chill out with friends in the evening.
A well spent Sat I must say. :)
Im super tired. I didnt get enough sleep last night. I just got home and I cannot wait to konk out in bed after I shower and pray. No idea why im online now though. I guess its habitual of me to check my emails once I get home. Its the idea of settling stuff before the shower. Showering is therepeutic. Alone time. It always feels good after a shower.
I finally got my foot 'diagnosed'. So my hunch was correct. The pain Ive been feeling on my right foot is really due to a sprained ankle. But its a mild sprain so I just need to rest it out for a bit. Think the slipper Ive been wearing to school is not good at all. I highly doubt its the run on monday...but the run on thurs aggravated it I suppose.
On that note, Nadeem,Rauf and Farhana are helping me to ease into running on a daily basis. Imagine my horror when Nadeem, the ex-platoon sergeant-who-runs-8 minute 2.4km- and several- marathons- a year- and- who- probably- doesnt- breathe- while- running- and- who -can- run- as- fast- as- a- speeding- bicycle told me of this new regiment. To which, I said "How about my hair?! I cant wash it everyday cos its too dry" And he woke me up with "Lose the fats or lose the hair? Both can grow but which would you want not growing?" Something like that la. And as Najib says, my hair has been ruling my life and I make little things trouble me for no reason.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. BUT I have a sprained ankle. So chill, guys. And yes, hair is renewable (at least in this phase of my life).
Yawn. Off to shower.
The bed beckons. :)

My tummy is rumbling. Another 2 hours before dinner so its pointless to eat now.
I ended my first reading visual images tutorial today. Alas, the tutor wasnt as aesthetically pleasing as I thought he was when I saw him during the first lect. What? It is a module on emphasising the power of the visual. :P
Anyhoos, I have been assigned my topic of presentation. Actually, I chose to do "The body as an ideal and displayed: The figure in renaissance and baroque art" because somehow, the tutorials wont be covering "Utopia and the subconscious: Constructivism and Surrealism". Alas, S.Dali, lecture alone it will be.
I wonder which angle I should approach the topic from. Something concise and interesting. I dont want to bore the class. Plus two other people are presenting on the same topic. It'd be rather repetitive, wouldn't it?

Its February already! Goodness, how time flies! And and and, we're into the 4th week of school! yikes! I have barely touched my texts! But I must say, I am somewhat gaining momentum.
After personality lect yest, which I must say, was one of the most interactive lectures Ive had this sem, Im more convinced that i should be working my butt off. You know how it is that in this land, people are too shy to speak up in class for fear of looking like a fool? Well, it wasnt as such during the lect. People were genuinely asking. Not to appear like a snob nor to waste time but out of the sincere quest to clear their doubts. So it started when the lecturer paused to let us digest what he had said. A girl asked him to clarify something and then the whole LT was silent. You see, this particular lecturer is well, one of those that many students are afraid of especially to be snapped at by. In any case, he was absolutely genial about it and soon, an onslaught of questions came in. Intelligent ones I might add and Ive certainly understood more about the topic than before. I felt intellectually stimulated and it felt brilliant.
During the break, I approached the same lecturer to discuss the possiblity of him supervising me if i should do a thesis and once again, he was really helpful and the more I talked to him about it, the more convinced I am that i have to pull my CAP up so I can do a thesis without risks.
But results aside, I am hungry. Hungry for knowledge. I want to know more. Learn more. Research more. Ask more. I have tocease seize this opportunity now..to immerse myself in academics...to soak up the books, journals, information available at my fingertips..and enjoy the beauty of being an undergraduate, a learner, a student. After all, studying is quite a luxury if you think about it.

I havent been blogging lately since I've changed from the old blogger to the new one. Why? Because I cant understand why the dates of my post dont appear. Do i have to manually do this with each post? Like this one? I dont get it! Ive checked the settings and it seems perfectly fine.
So where on earth did the date go?
Changes are already bad enough. Tech changes are worse!

I know that I've blogged a lot about how I want to exercise and the very fact that I blog about either about running or swimming attests to how rare and therefore eventful-worthy they are. Im hoping to change that. I want it to become a consistent part of my schedule.
Other than the fact that I removed 1/4 of my wardrobe due to, ill-fitting reasons (pun intended), I have been getting signs from my body that I need to adopt a healthier lifestyle. I think my body is protesting against my sedentary lifestyle and it's time I heed her advise to do something.
That said, Im going to go all mushy now. I am absolutely grateful for having him in my life.
My rock. My pillar. My strength.
Also, I have finally found motivation to start doing my readings. I think its because tutorials start this week and people around me seem prepared and now Im scared shitless that I'd be left behind unless I do something about it.
Aside: Ooh, I bought myself a green top with a mandarin collar. I love love love it. Im going to make sure I wear it at least 5 times this semester.

I am 3 to 4 shades darker.
Dont get me wrong, Im not one of those people who appreciates being roasted by the sun to have a bronzy shade. Nope. I absolutely cannot tahan when people bask in the sun for the sole purpose of soaking up UV rays so as to appear healthier. I mean come on. The whole being- tanned thing is to reflect that you've been active, doing something outdoors isnt it?
Which is why I dont get people who go to the swimming pool only to lie down somewhere to get fried, without even touching the water.
Anyway, I have no prob with being dark. After all, it'll fade away with time. But for now, my eyes have to get used to this. I suppose it isnt that bad. Just that the juxtoposition of the fairer, unexposed areas to the sunkissed ones probably magnifies the difference.
Had a great time today. Swim, eat, shop.
Ps: Yx and Just..we cant afford to spend so much time on subsequent mondays okie?
Aside: I miss Pema. She's my semester butt-kicker. She's in Grenoble now and so I wont have my weekly motivating cum bitching sessions anymore. Well, at least till she comes back. Pema wrote me a nice long email today. Its so different the way she writes as compared to the way she talks. She uses such flowery language. I took a long time crafting a reply so I wont sound so stupid. Heh. So if you're reading this, you better not delete the email.
Gosh, school just isnt the same without you.
Darn, think im starting to peel. Need to find moisturiser. Now.

Blocked nose begone.
Thats it. Im going shopping. Cant take it anymore. I shall head on down to Marina sq after school on Tuesday on grab that top. After all, now that tuition has resumed, I think I can afford to :)
I cant believe Ive been teaching her since she was sec 1. Now she's in sec 3 and Im gonna have to start polishing up on my trigo and other A maths stuff. Can you imagine, certain things I learnt in C maths are now in their syllabus? Partial fractions for one.
Im also teaching her sister after a one yr hiatus. Apparently she flunked her sec 1 exams. Good news for me :) KACHING. Unfortunately, direct and inverse proportions are back to haunt me. Gosh, I absolutely HATE those questions. You know, those kind which asks "12 men take 7 hours a day to built bla bla in 9 days. How many hours a day will it take 9 women to built the bla bla in 16 days".
ARGHHHHHHHH. I just dont get them. Give me Differentiation. Integration. Trigo. Fractions. Algebra. Graphs. Statistics. Anything!! Just not those darn questions.

Spent almost the whole day with the bf after a whole week of not seeing him. And I must say, I behaved rather childishly when I met him. You see, I wasnt feeling well and wasnt in the mood to dress up so I wore my usual pink tshirt jeans ensemble, the usual school get up. Besides, he usually wears either his blue or black shirts so no biggie. But when i saw him today, he was wearing a SHIRT. A collared blue and white stripes long sleeve shirt with jeans and sneakers, as if he's going clubbing...(And he looked amazing. *Faints*) and then I went "what? now i feel like crap cos i look horribly slack next to you".
Of course he was hurt. Considering Ive chided him before for not bothering to dress up when we go out but then when he does, i..la la la...
But im of the opinion that when a couple goes out, its ok if the guys dresses like a slob and the girl nicely. But if its the other way round? Its just weird la. I can substantiate my point but its 11pm and I cant be bothered. Look me up if you want an explanation. :)
Moving on, it was only after i decided that it was just me feeling slobbish to begin with, and hence changing my mindset that the day went on perfectly.
We went to karaoke. Haha. I know! But we wanted to try out new activities together instead of just the usual meal and bla blas. I must say, it is quite fun huh? And that coke with lemon drink thingy is addictively delicious. Its really good for the throat too.
Also, we watched Pan's Labyrinth. It reminds me of Brothers' Grimm a little but definitely darker, serious and a tad freaky. I am still trying to find out what if there's a deeper meaning to the show because I have an inkling there is. But i cant seem to figure it out.
PS: Yunxian, I think you'll like the show.
So another week before I can see him again. Blah.
Aside: Saw two tops at marina square today. One with lovely pink and white stripes and the other a red t-shirt. Should i? Should i? Hmm.

Seeing Yx's posts on her shopping spree makes me want to shop too. Sigh. But until I resume tuition and get my monthly dues, my wallet is pretty much tight.
Had my first Reading Visual Images lecture yesterday. The lecturer is one of those old-school type of profs, the really articulate kind who can string his sentences with words so cheem that for once I really felt like I was studying in a university. Its hard to explain. Sigh. I want to be as eloquent as him.
And either the lecture rooms at SDE are hot and poorly ventilated or that the belt i was wearing last night was tight or that it was the onset of my flu..I felt extremely light headed after class. Was practically swaying to my left as I was walking home.
Not in the DL but its ok. Im satisfied nevertheless :) Motivation for this sem perhaps?
I really should start on some readings soon.
God, loved ones and studies. Nothing else matters.

Ive got myself some buddies to gym/swim with every monday though :) We start next week.
As of just now, I officially have a 3 day week. Which is great since I dont like travelling all the way to school at all and I study better at home. Besides, Im planning to utilise my free days to the optimum so it doesnt mean im any free-er thank you very much.
That said, think maybe I should stretch before I sleep. Stiffness begone!

Oh my gosh.
You know how it is that sometimes you listen to a song on the radio and you like it but you never know who its by? And then when you find out you're sort of relieved..
Well, I just realise (thanks to youtube) that so many songs I like are by Lifehouse! Blind is by them...Take me away is by them...i wont be surprise to find more.
That means, if i actually do get their CD, it wont be a waste of money. Not like other Cds wherein only one or two tracks is nice but the rest suck.
Hint: My birthday is coming. Fine, 3 months time.
