Wow... it's only 7 weeks till the prelims! Just the thought itself frightens me. I think I'll hyperventilate during prelims...I almost did during O lvls I think. Everyone around me is studying and doing practice papers. Not that I'm not, but nothing seems to go into my tiny brain. Sigh.

There's nothing too interesting about life now other than studying, I guess. Even 1 PE block has been cancelled. Hmm. My friends and I now converse about the future coz daydreaming is so much more fun. The only interesting event was last week's trip to Yakult Singapore. Besides drinking Yakult, I was surprised to have picked up quite a bit of interesting facts about Yakult. The funniest one was that only Yakult Singapore provides straws to customers. Yakult companies in the rest of the world don't. They tried taking out the straws for a few months, and Singaporeans took on the job they did best - complaining. In went the straws again. Haha. Nah we don't like changes. Evolution is bad :(

As the days pass, I am becoming more and more like a lunatic. Prissy and Grace just commented on tt. It seems like I have an overdeveloped laughter system if there's such a thing. The tiniest things seem to amuse me. What's wrong with me? Hmm. I shall go back to organic chem and try to cure my madness..

Woohoo! Common test 2 is over! After a week of daily adrenaline rushes so I can keep alert and complete my tests, I feel kinda brain-fried, or short circuited up there. I can practically feel smoke coming out of my brain. Which goes to show how useless my brain is. I am now experiencing the pain of not being able to relax after common tests. Although I should be celebrating my acceptable results, prelims and A levels loom not far ahead and I know I can't rest now... if I want to make it to a university.

I was just chatting with mel over the phone about college apps..... She's aiming for all the top universities...given her intelligence it's really not surprising. I however have to consider what universities will be so kind as to accept me. And that's really giving me a headache. More importantly, I have no idea what major I am interested in. Too many options...none which I'm particularly good at. Sigh. All the same, I'll be looking at info for colleges, and mel told me www.studentsreview.com is a good website to check out. According to her, top universities don't exactly provide great undergrad courses....but ppl usually aim to go there... What a conflict. It might actually be a blessing in disguise if I don't get into a top university. But then again....hiyah! I hate this!

Aside from academic matters, life has been pretty normal...and boring. Except that day I was on the mrt train...a few Chinese tourists came into the train followed closely by 2 self-proclaimed journalists (wonder how true it is). They claimed that followers of the fa-lun gong were being executed mercilessly and the Chinese should really voice out their opinions and support fa-lun gong (hint: go agst ppl responsible for the executions....guess who). They appeared so sincere, and so desperate...I was quite amused. It's not everyday you see this kind of stuff happening.

I can't wait for A levels to be over so I enjoy myself in China....and possibly take a bit of social dancing lessons + singing lessons. Mel is interested in Latin dancing...might just join her. haha.
