the lecture was great. even if you weren't super interested in political stuff, it's worth going. i must say that PM Lee's one of those MPs that actually tackle the questions you ask head on. and boy, is he quick witted. his speech was "The Singapore Elite" and at first, when i saw the banner, i thought it was FOR the Singapore Elite, which i felt sure didn't include me. (i somehow got an invite by chance, haha) and basically, it changed the view of how i always looked at that term. fantastic.

but then going home was a toughie cos it was 1030 and when i actually reached home, the cab driver didn't have change and repaid me almost 30 dollars in 5 dollar, 2 dollar notes and lotsa coins. grr. but i realised NUS is actually quite convenient for me since i can take straight 151.

school started. lit isn't doing well. again. i can't understand curve sketching and i gave a stupid answer for econs tutorial. nothing unusual. so far, i feel like a soldier, no, not those prepared for battle but those weary soldiers who have been fighting eons and hate the war. i wonder how i'm going to survive until after As. thing is, i REALLY really can't remember the math (at least what we've been doing so far cos i just chuck tutorials and assignments to one side after completing the chapter) and you would have thought that the march "holidays" would have given me the time to clear up the doubts about econs, but i failed to muster up the willpower to do so and thus am still lost in terms of NIA and theory of income and employment. (hooray cos there's going to be a lecture test in a few weeks about theory of income).

feeling kinda tired and weary. but somehow peaceful and contented? am i contradicting? not sure how to phrase it, perhaps i'm still in the "holiday" mood. i'm reminded by all the "" about Ixer and his Austin Powers story.

Sonya cut her hair. no more ponytail for me to play with.

and i'm hoping still for one day to lose myself and forget, even pretend...
