My study rooom is what i make of it

Bro got real sick today. As such, my study room today was tan tock seng hospital. Normally i would lament the lack of a condusive environment to study in, but instead i chose to reshape my reality. Where i was ceased to be a hospital. In my mind, in my reality, it is a condusive study room.
Whatever doctors or nurses walking around, old sick people coughing behind me, they are all figments of my imagination.

A little bit of delusion works wonders.
I completed the whole syllabus within the 4 hours spent there. Mental fatigue was at an all time high.

Imagination is a wonderful thing to help one construct his own reality.

The evening was met with a torrential downpour. A simple trick of the mind was all it took to imagine a rain free road. Well in fact i pulled a memory of that same road on a sunny day and superimposed it over the current image.......or lack of image rather, of a rain obscured highway.

sigh........exams are coming. Tuesday.

Sometimes i wonder if all this sacrifice is worth it. Sacrifice leisure time, time with friends, etc, all for studying.
Then my evil part of my brain kicks in.
And my theory is laid bare again.

Why study so hard??
Well if my intellegence level is 10 and most other people's intelligence level is 20(like some ppl in my class. Really bright people).
To retain 90% of the knowledge i desire, one must put in 30 skill points.
So if i ony have 10 intelligence points to contribute VS 20 points that other people have, that means in order to attain the same level of knowledge as those others, i have to study for up to 20 study points, which is twice that of what the intelligent people study.

But really, sometimes i feel the payoff isnt worth it.

I need a break.
I wonder if DD's dad will lend me a good DVD. maybe i should try to ask her......

What a great way to start off the week

I started the week with a horrible bout of stomach flu.
Thats right. Stomach flu from saturday morning to sunday afternoon: most likely caused by "presentation-stress" on friday.
Frag it man........why do i always get sick after presentations.....ALWAYS. Thanks to that i missed an outing on saturday.....

Bloody deferment didnt go through..............dont care, must try again. gonna spam them until i get the darn thing differed.

Exams closing in, creeping up on me like some sick python in the night. The darn coms217 project isn't doing well. I believe this course is a gonner for me. And no hope of re-taking it too since its got a stupid project.

Someone's birthday is coming up.....................should i do anything? should i even say anything after what happened??

And some guy gave me dating advice
"fully plan your date and just bring the gal along with your plans. Don't need to consult her, she should just go along with you since you're the man, you make the plans, you're in charge".
So.........a gal's role in a date is just to sit back, shut up and take whatever a guy puts in front of her face?? Pure typical neanderthal male chauvanistic thinking. I might ask the gals about this some day. If they say "yes"(that they do like the guy to do all the planning for dates and dont mind just taking whatever plan is put infront of them) then i guess my old primary school thinking was right all along, that females really like to be bossed around by alpha males and don't appreciate a proper 1 for 1 equivalent complementary relationship.


I dream of going to watch a movie soon. Darn exams are only a week away so WHY AM I TYPING THIS!!! FINGERS!!! STOP WAT YOURE DOING!!!!

thank you


I'm gonna suggest a movie outing after the exams.
Not just to the gals i think. I could also try the dynamic duo, i just hope they dont have plans after the exams.............
cos really, i need to REVIEW something soon.
