Week 5 was insane. I am so glad it's over, along with the big bang weekend of CNY and Valentine's Day. Week 5 was insane, for the reasons stated below:

1) An exceptionally rushed presentation/discussion for EN tutorial - despite my pushing for meetups and compilations but of course, lit majors being lit majors, nothing was done and panic ensured (for at least two of us) 1 hour leading to tutorial. I was honestly so super duperbly annoyed but according to Mel Chue, the discussion was actually interactive and organised so I hope the lecturer thinks likewise.

2) I slept pretty late. I know, it's morphing into a horrible habit as of late(pun unintended) and even Abel and Daryl have pointed it out that I should be sleeping early. It's not like I am even vaguely productive. Sigh.

3) Week 5 was Le Week of getting started on the numerous projects that await - NM survey, EN mid-terms, EN presentation on Ivanhoe (Ivanwhore because it's a ridiculously thick book oh why oh why) and our SSA fieldtrip report.

4) 5th week of not attending Fuel. I am rather upset with myself over this matter, for failing to honour even the most basic of commitments. I have no idea why my Fridays are so insanely hapz -even if I don't make plans, plans are made for me that kind of thing.

However, I did enjoy Week 5 because:

1) It was the week before mid term break! How not to enjoy I ask you. The pseud0 feeling of abandon and partial negligence because you still have 1 week to save your sorry ass.

2) We visited Haw Par Villa - this sad excuse for a "cultural tourist attraction". Albeit the complete lack of human inhabitation and the humidity of the ethnic sun, walking around aimlessly was rather enjoyable too. And wouldn't you know, I forgot my SD card so I had to run to Mel's room to grab her camera (very distraught and dramatic run)

3) CAW <3>

4) Pepe's farewell on Friday -lovely Japanese dinner (too much MSG I suspect though, we were horribly thirsty), failed jump shots in a public location (who cares right, we are not 20 yet) and waiting for the girls to try on new clothes. Best fun I've had in a long while with the familiarity of old faces.

So I guess week 5 wasn't so bad after all, because for every shadow there's a sunny spot of sunlight. Now if only I were semi inspired to start on my works of the week. Weekend just zoomed past, major irony considering I don't even celebrate. I drove around Seletar yesterday though under supervision and I had a lovely view of clouds. Sorry Wordsworth, clouds are never lonely. They are highly sociable beings, because they always seem to be having company.

I also just wiped and cleaned my laptop (i.e Harry Potter). Harry smells of Dettol now and my fingers feel smudgy like disinfectant. I think Harry is deeply thankful that I decided to invest some time in him after negligence. Gosh I should never have children.

Alright, have a good mid-term break people.
