Summer holidays are going to be different.
Well, actually I don't understand why people use the term "summer holidays" in Singapore.
It sounds artificial and "potato-ish" since we don't really experience the four seasons.
Anyway, I was saying holidays are going to be different.
I remembered I slept through my last summer holidays. On several mornings I would jog with Alfred. In the afternoons i would read or sleep. And days just went by painfully slow and boring.
This time round, I foresee holidays would be busier.

firstly i'm reading a summer term module.
Attending lectures 1 week after exams isn't fun.
Plus a monotonous lecture in the late afternoon, you get the most potent tranquilizer dart.
One friend beside me fiddles with his iPhone throughout the whole lecture. and the other beside me pretends to listen, occasionally closing her eyes. Strangely, everyone else is attentive. Are they all Shaolin monks? So disciplined?

secondly, i'm doing my honors project. i'm excited but frightened as well. i've worked hard and i'm definitely going to continue running for the next 1 year to make my efforts count. i'm learning to write better.

besides work, i forgot to plan leisure. ideas anyone?

Another semester ended.
I went places the last two days.
I brought a group of friends to farm mart in Chua Chu Kang.
Though most shops were closed, we enjoyed still.

One of the fun experiences was to watch a school of fishes gather around your legs...



Yesterday, we took a bus and walked to PS Cafe along Harding Road after dinner. As someone who frequents at cafes and coffee shops, I totally liked the place. The cafe had a warm and calming ambience. Away from the city "noise", it feels like a different world. The prices are a bit steep though.
