If you're going bonkas from studying, and display inclinations towards doing silly things and getting a kick out of it at the end, Kathleen called it "自-high".

See how creative Singaporeans are? *beams*

Actions include laughing at self-created lame jokes (that no one else catches anyway), throwing grapes high up in the air and trying to land it in your mouth, posing stuff toys in attempts to encourage yourself from studying. Laughing uncontrollably at the end is a MUST.

Studying can be pretty upsetting. Don't be disheartened. You're not alone. Look who's here to share my burden!

I've printed out my timetable for the exams.

Sorted out all my notes into 5 neat piles.

ABOUT finished all my papers to be handed in before the exams start.

But you know what is the worrying thing? It's not the fact that I'm not that stressed, but the fact that I'm STILL trying to stress myself, trying to convince myself that the exams are really just around the corner, 2 days from today.

It's called the great SEP hangover. I'm not alone, I know, because 3 other people I've met (Glenn, Shuli and Ray) are facing the same crisis. It's this "huh, study? not all S/U like last sem meh? relak la!" mentality that will wipe us off the face of the flawlessly cruel NUS system.

~~~~~

The other really scary thing is that I'm not having any exams in any MPSH this sem. Which means I'll not be part of the famed heat-trapping, staircase-crawling crowd. All part of the exams festive spirit to get you into the mood of things, no? =) I'm missing out! So jealous! =p

AND my largest seat number is 23, with the smallest being 13. Says a lot about the size of my classes, and I suspect this will be the norm henceforth.

Thank you for your e-mail, and if you see this somehow, welcome home! =) I'm sure Europe has been a blast.

Thank you for your e-mail, because it has been the nicest surprise all week. Probably even all month. You made me realise how pragmatic we have all became, or will become, and made me remembered how it was like in the good old days. Dreamers, idealists and life filled with nonsensical laughters. Pragmaticism depresses us all, even killing sentiments, with every breath of reality we take in. Thanks for reminding me how we were like before! I still have some left in me =)

Thank you for your e-mail, because it reminded me also of the days when we chatted at ends. From notes to phone calls. Sharing of hearts and life-stories, witnessing life unfold close-up and sharing the moments. The process, of really getting to know another person. Ah, I missed that. That sounded awfully gay, but you know what I mean, don't you, silly cow? *laughs*

I'm so happy you've passed the exams, Dr Low. Another phase begins, and I wish you all the best. I've always held you in high esteem, and even times when I wanted to be more like you, so I'm sure you will make a fine doctor. Real lives are in your hands now!

I hope you're fine too. We've learnt much from life's experiences. Time has passed and we must move on. Sometimes we wondered how we had so much energy and courage in our younger days, but it is more important to know that if we had done it before, we can do it again. Bear faith.

I doubt I can ever write as well as you can, and so hope sincerity rules. =)

Many cheers old friend,
Kenneth

近来想到，已很久没待到深夜。
习惯了早睡早起， 而且也经不起一天的疲倦。

又想起，
深夜总是好的。
深夜曾让我在 ICQ/ MSN 上认识了许多知己， 发展了许多友谊，了解了更多朋友。
深夜使人安静，有时间有心情将纷乱的思绪端出来，一一清理，一一苦诉。

却又想，
有时互相认识，也只不过是断断续续的在网上交谈，断断续续的发送几个 sms。
应用科技之外，彼此几乎并未见面。
就算见面，真正谈心的时刻又有多少？可能还少过在网上交谈。

又想，
写 blog 是自己和自己玩游戏，是自己要和自己过不去。
好事件写不到半篇，因为乐在其中。
怀事件就连篇成章，因为无人苦诉。

又想，
读我 blog 的人也和他自己过不去。
时中时英，有时中英合并，双不到佳。
时乐时悲，有时某名奇妙，胡说八道。
时有时无，有时三天半月，无不一篇。
真是为难了读者！

萧邦的夜曲已弹到了尽头，深夜却还没到。
我的同谋，电脑，虽还尽力充沛，但我却已倦了。
做不完的功课，解不完的问题，烦不完的烦恼，都把他们抛开。

又等不到深夜。

我只好说声，“晚安了，朋友”。
