imagining Singapore
Imagining Singapore HL811 is my very first exam paper for this semester.
The paper starts at 5pm and guess what? I only started revising at 3pm.
Well, i wasnt going to make the same mistake as i had studying so hard for a subject i've SUed.
In fact, i already put in more than i should by attending all the lectures. And that was because this is really an interesting subject in the first place. Every lecture was just like a motivational session in which i was introduced to great people from the past who has great dreams of the future... I was mostly on time for the lecture, (only to realise that they lecturer take 15 mins to set up her slides and stuff. It never fails even until the very last lesson which she took 30 mins, that was the first time i purposely late for 15mins...)

Anyway, I wanted to have the sense of being a Big Shot, hence I stepped foot into the exam hall at 458pm, just timely enough to make myself comfortable before the commence of the paper. I guess, I tend to write alot more fluenent when i am not under any stress. (CErtainly, it is inversely proportional to the grammer mistakes i will make). WE just cant have the best of both worlds.
2 questions.
50 marks each.
And i decided to do one on poem analysis and another essay question on the "persuit of happiness."
Coming to realise, i was so comfortable in writing that i even include my own colloquial expression such as "Little people"

(To fans who doesnt know of this expression that i frequently blog. I am refering to people who doesn't have a dream and ambition. Most of the time they lead a routine life of blindly following what others are doing. Normally they just accept the things told and do accordingly, even if they are unhappy with it, they will just complain and doesn't make any attempt to change it. They live the life they are having not because they have to be but because they choose to be so...)

Speaking about dreams, I had a few strange dreams recently.
During my dream, i lost one of my front tooth.
I was horrified and panicked. But then, i remembered that i had similar dreams like that before. So i told myself, this must be another dream, i will wake up now since it is so scary.
With that, i really woke up in reality.

Of cos i fell asleep soon after i felt my teeth were in place only to continue dreaming.
This time i met with two of my npcc juniors Samuel and Yoke Tin.
I had not seen yoke tin for 5 years. So when i see him in my dreams, I cant remember his name. Then i spent quite sometime before recalling its him.
Well, lets hope its not one of those premonition dreams.
