1 more week to my 1 week break. Break..bREAk..BREAK? When did I resort to counting down to record my term break? The only time I ever recalled doing so was during my 6-months IAP where I counted months, followed by weeks and finally days. Not actually a break though, in fact I am pretty sure it would be booked with proj meetings and stuffs. Hope to book more driving slots during this period and catch up with homework and stuffs.

Learning driving is in fact..a burden which I want to clear and be rid out of my mind soon. Each term would be tougher and busier with no qualms or doubts. I have already advanced book crash courses in year end. This is actually my very first time planning my weekly schedule that 'extrapolate' to months. Which means I am a poor time planner all the time being..oOps.

Class ended early on thursday and I had a proj discussion in like 2 hours time. One of them had to have lunch with his guy friend at Raffles..and it was then that I notice this particular friend of mine is really brilliant in networking and socialising. I am all by myself for 2 hours so I dragged another friend to have lunch with me. After lunch, he went to the carpark and drove his Peugeot Convertible home. I am stunned and perhaps a country bumpkin to create a big hoo-hah on such stuffs yeah?

I had shopping spree which turned out to be book spree I guess. Roaming around shelves of books..nothing else to do too.

Celebrated JX birthday on friday and it really had been a long time since I met her. Nice chatting up and again we went to kinokuniya to read books and stuffs.

After a long sleep, I still feel lethargic. Sometimes I do wonder whether constant input will gurantee constant output or even desirable output which is deemed possible. I guess the problem here is smart study just like street smart. I thought I am prepared for lesson only to be bombarded with questions or scenarios that I don't know. And I do realise I have short attention span and words that the prof or other students are saying just become a lullaby. There are many terminologies and world affairs that I do not know and my answers are unproductive. Some kind of general knowledge idiot huh? Before I fall victim to myself by self-blaming, I guess I should get use to this transition and start reading more newspapers.

How do you learn more? By being more thick-skinned and less egoistic? When people around you know the answer but you don't, just ask them even though you know they will realise you're asking dumb questions duh. Productive class participation by being less self-restricted and open minded. Accepting challeges as possible self-improvement. Often easier to say then to be done.

Are there anything else to do rather than just talking about group projects and assignments each day? Get some life man. Life = CCAs (not inculding club politics). I had a nice time on Friday eating snacks before CCA and listening to a talk on student exchange programmes to overseas. Osaka and Kyushu!? It's quite interesting to see how one emcee speaks in Jap and the other in English. And Sensai was way kewl~ and polite to give out the certificates. Had a nice walk at the Henderson Wave although my legs ached. If only life can be simpler and more enjoyable.

What am I doing at this hour of time? Well, saturday morning was a pleasant day to start with. I was snuggling inside my blankets and listening to the rain splattering on the windows. It has been such a long time since I really slept so long and without any stuffs bothering me. No school, datelines, phone call and sms to greet my day. When things get too busy sometimes, I tend to realise how a good rest, a nice meal or cuddling in my nice old bed could bring such joy and pleasure to life.

Projects are coming in chuckful loads and assignments are piling like nobody's business. I have been reading articles and journals with the help of my yellowed dictionary. So many things to remember and yet I feel that my brain's memory space is like preserving in how many gozill-ion prehistoric years. The brain working system seems to be creaking like some old rusty parts of an old watch and even reading or analysing texts seem taxing. I feel super lethargic or perhaps lazy??? these days.

Many people post me this question "You sure you can suvive?" And my answer is always in that partially yes/no kind. You either give up or carry on. It's like you're at a stage of life or path in which you keep falling and crawling back. Nothing to cling on except your own knees. Well, professors keep calling on me when I prayed hard that they not to. Been ridiculed as some of the class were giggling away at my nonsensical answer. It started fine until the prof post me another tough argumentative question. I was stunned and gibberish. But hmm..applauds myself ba, at least I manage to speak up. lol~

Friday started learning driving on the road. I didn't bring my PDL (can u believe it??) and the instuctor was so kind to drive me back home to collect it. I drove back to bukit batok and my feet were trembling. Why..because I was been forced to drive at a speed that I deemed as dangerous. But anyway, it was a fun fun experience. Then chill out at Dempsey Hill that night. Nice night spot though.

Misia is here in Singapore for her concert on 13th!! I am so excited but I have no tickets to watch her performace although the Jap Cultural Club offered me the tickets at a really discounted membership rate.
