This week has been torrid. I had only 4 hrs of sleep for 3 nights in a row, having to wake up at 6am from tues-fri to go to sch early. It may sound normal to u guys but I've been so used to 8 hrs of sleep I really couldnt take it. Was so busy with stuff...essays...n I dunno what that I could only sleep at 2+am...I really felt like shit almost everyday when I was in sch. Somehow I managed to include a movie in it. heh.
Do you know that ppl who are depressed don't commit suicide when they're at their lowest, but when they are recovering. This is due to the extreme lack of energy when they're at their lowest. Realised how true it might be with the analoguous situation of my deprived sleep. During the mornings that I was so tired (4hrs of sleep) I was calm in my dad's car...not bothering with screwed up drivers who cut lanes or road hog. The morn when I had more sleep, I was back to my normal lousy driving cursing. heh. I felt it was similar to what I learnt during ab psych. The low made me apathetic to what was going on around me. I don't know if this makes sense to you.
Anyway, today was much better. I felt our grp discussion wasnt really focused (no thanks to me) but then the filming was fun. Actually used my army helmet n top in sch to film a "trench" scene. It shd be quite funny. heh. Fareez does GREAT videos!! haha n ya man I think we do look alike. heh.
*added in* I forgot to mention about my stupid lectuer...TNT...tt bugger....it's like I told him that I can't commit the time n all that to do research work for him so he asked me when my exams ended n that we'll do work after my exams then he ended off by telling me to submit a report in 2 weeks time!!! I'm so frustrated!! he has this way of manipulating people and situations!! I'm so irritated n pissed!! sigh.
Anyway I had my NJ class 98S18 class reunion today...felt gd to meet up again...esp since I've not seen some of them for so long...met Kaifeng n Sumin in sch b4 heading down to Centrepoint to meet Kaixun, Peiyi, Saihim, Junkang, Lishan, Hanhui, Tim, and then we headed for Sumin's place. Weijie joined us later...we had pizza for dinner n just sat down to talk...was a bit weird at first...silence n all (I'm ok with silence actually) but junkang n xunzi was the entertainment...with junkang telling us his 'lifestory' in NTU. heh. it's really nice catching up with them...here's some interesting facts about my classmates:
Weijie: He went for Lasik costing $5k but got $1k discount cos his mum knows the nurse who know the doc. heh. then the procedure quite scary man. You can see the whole thing! then they will say, dont be scared when this sharp thing goes towards ur eye...then u can see the lasar n all cutting...then the doc said there's a lot of blood....man...then cos they cut ur cornea u cant scratch it for 2 weeks or it will just slide off...man...but now weijie has almost perfect eyesight!
Lishan: she's working on ships making training videos...had to spend 26 days on the ship (including xmas!!) with nothing to do cos she didnt expect to be away so long!! no internet connection, no phone, no books, lousy food, and she said they got excited whenever they saw land!!
Hanhui: she's working as a psychologist now at MOE carrying out assessment tests on sch-going kids n all!!
Peiyi: my social work senior....senior executive at SSTI (Social Services Training Institute) and she had to leave early cos she has to work tomolo, sunday, mon n tues...she asked me to reconsider sw. heh.
Kaixun & Saihim: the only ppl I know who finished their FYP more than 1 week ahead of schedule!! and they both got jobs liaoz at Deloitte & Touche and Ernst & Young respectively.
Sigh. We're old....only me kaifeng n weijie are still studying for another year. heh.
went to play pool when the others left....was playing with much luck the first 2 games then in the 3rd game I went to pot the black ball with a damn nice shot when I had one more striped ball left!!! I didnt see it!! arg then the rest were wondering why I was so happy tt i potted the black ball!!! never recovered from tt...Tim is the pool champ...heh Cindy joined us then.
Cindy: She works in a semi-conductor company drawing a salary of $3-4k a month...with a cap set to S$7200 after over-time!!!!! beat that man!! haha she really got weijie excited!
after pool we had supper at meridian kopitiam...not bad just catching up...then shared cab back.
I must say that I really enjoyed seeing my NJ classmates again. Writing this and listening to Running by No Doubt made me wanna tear jus now...don't know why but felt so nostalgic!! I miss you 98S18!! miss you lots... :)
