LOOK MA(and pa)I HAVE EYE BAGS.
this is what happens when you decide to change your sleep cycle for good and have been waking up at 7.30am every morning after months of sleeping around 2-3am and waking up around 10.
so kids, always remember that unless you want ugly bags below your eyes, sleep early.
However, I do have to say that I have been able to wake up rather easily. i mean, ignoring the fact that i snooze my alarm about 4 times every morning, it is considerably easy. I mean, after all it is usually 7.30am when I wake up. Vast improvement compared to the past year.
Now where have I disappeared to, i have been studying hard the past few days.
okay maybe not hard, but i have been studying for the past few days. at least attempting to.
okay maybe not. here's the true story.
waking up early going to the library: True.
Writing my essay: True.
efficient and competent: Not True.

I do have to say I'm thankful that I'm not in NTU Mass Comms. The twins and Amelia are really working really hard. projects and assignments due this week, exams next week. they basically have no time for themselves(other than the occasional tweets) Gosh I miss them.
my cell leader exploited me last night. Asked me to compose a song for her for her Music Science module. If you get more than a C you owe me 5 cups of KOI milk tea without sugar. I demand so. I miss cell. many new people and I'm not there to give them a loud welcome.
Been spending alot of time with Inger's guitar. It sounds awesome plucked. So i'm learning a new song, Thank You by the Katinas. It's hard. well, at least the hardest I've tried so far. I think my fingers have to be an inch longer. But i'm going to finish it. I insist. But it took me 45 mins to learn the first 4 bars.
My thermal flask is amazing. totally worth the $20 we spent on it. my pei pa gao remains steaming hot even after 7 hours. (:
Time is flying by quick. In less than 2 months I'll be back home. Okay i know i always say this but I really still can't believe I'm here in London. Never in my wildest dreams, sitting in the classroom in Jblock of CJC. sleeping at the back of lessons esp. during lit and maths, would i ever have been able to conjure up the idea of studying in London. It was always, NUS/SMU, or Australia(UNSW or Sydney or Melbourne) but i never really harboured the notion of being far away from home. I mean australia, I'll be home in like, 5 hours max? and it doesnt cost £657 to fly back. ah it's so strange. But i'm thankful all the same. Thank you thank you Jesus.
I hung out with church people on sunday. It was a really great feeling, saying grace before dinner, eating and laughing, taking weird photos. They are a great bunch and I'm hoping to really get close to them. (: Met a guy who plays the trumpet for the queen on a horse in the army, and sings really well.
in any case, I should get back to read Hobbes and his philosophy on self consciousness through memory of the past, and in a bigger picture, back to my essay. my "friends" buddy is back in Paris so that is on hold.
Here I am with all I have I raise my hands to worship you I wanna say thank you Oooh Thank you For everything for who you are You cover me and touch my heart I wanna say thank you
