I'm back......
3 papers down and 1 more to go...on a Sat some more...9 am!
Crazy. Hee but that just means that my whole sat is not 'burnt' as my dad puts it. Think ORCHARD ROAD must really miss me...will be making a duo appearance with my other half (teehee) right after my paper.
This time, I had Woman's health on Monday, Animal Physiology on Tuesday and Microbiology yesterday (Wednesday). This Sat is on Evolution...have not started proper revision for it yet...think its going to be really difficult. This module has a habit of coming up with the weirdest questions you can think of...like, What will happen to the Evolution of man after 1 million years if there were
FOUR SEXES. *COLD SWEAT*...FREAK...nightmare question man.
Oh and talking about evolution and nightmare, I need to get this two issues of my chest. THink I will talk about evolution first. Okie, on and off, I will go check out XX's blog (all Weiqi's fault because she intro me to it). Normally, I'd just read it cuz I'm bored and sometimes she's entertaining but hai, one of her latest post has me tsking away and now fully understanding Prof Mier's mostly sour disposition (my evolution lecturer...he is as another Prof puts it, the grumpy old german...Whoops...dun repeat this kkkkk....U DID NOT HEAR THIS FROM ME). Anyway, the post was peppered with natural selection and survival of the fitness and now, I fully comprehend the level of annoyance that evolutionary biologist face with how the majority of the masses would twist and turn this BIOLOGICAL phrase to justify SOCIAL phenomenon.
Well, just to enlight my friends who are not well versed in evolutionary language, survival of the fittest is not measured in terms of strength and blahblah physical attributes. You know how to survive long enough to F*** and pass on your genes, or by pure luck, you get laid and pass on your genes not by virtue of your so-called animal magnetism...you are deemed to have some LEVEL of fitness. Fitness can be measured on a scale of 0 to 1, so it is not some iffy bogus concept but backed by algorithms and mathematical equations. As my lecturer puts it, you doubt natural selection, you doubt maths.
It's just crazy that people would use 'survival of the fittest' to justify selfish acts and to me, perpetuating uneducated views on this is akin to giving a pat on the back to Hitler for upholding biology. BLEAH. And this is not even a moral arguement (i.e. what is right or what is wrong) because sometimes evil acts does not infringe on the realm of reproductive fitness so it have ZILCH to do with survival of the fittest.
Anyhow my friends, you have been forewarned.
Okok...enough of unhappy stuff...now for the more fun stuff.....nightmares...
How can nightmares be 'fun', you ask. Well, mine can, I have have been dreaming consecutively since my exams started...Every night! In fact, I just had 2 dreams.
The main characters in my dreams, ME! and the occasional DM, Dr Li, Eunice, ohoh and one one occasion, almost the whole of class 4/1 CSS.
General trends 1) I get chased by monsters that look suspiciously similar to Orcs.
2) Toilets seem like a major feature in many of my dreams...I wonder if its trying to tell me something. Incontinence?
3) I mostly get GORGEOUS toilets so luxurious you wouldn't belive it. Imagine walking into one of the NUS cubicles that look normal on the outside but once you open the door of the cubicle, your senses are overwhelmede by the sheer grandiosity of the place. A marble white bathtub built into the ground, a sofa to laze around if you so wish to before you bathe, a built-into-the-ground conveyor belt of soaps, scented oils and other wonderful bathtime products...Ahhh...i wish i were asleep again.
4)I got the opposite end of the spectrum too. A shitty cubicle...literally, and a girl's worst nightmare floating in the toilet bowl...pads...EWWWWWWWW
Oh..and this time, the toilet was a tad porno....so sicko...i wonder which depraved part of me is that...cuz, imagine yourself sitting down in some public cubicle. Then, the height of the toilet paper dispensor should be somewhat around your torso right? Well, imagine that strip around the cubicle to be missing. Yes. Other people can look in on you. And to make things worse, I had no idea where my clothes were...good thing it was the little girl's room.
5)I got an eerie toilet too...This toilet is supposedly to be in the 3rd floor...i.e. my room. The funny thing is that in my room, I had two toilets. One that was luxurious and this other toilet that i never knew i had. So the eerie toilet was decent enough but everything in that toilet was tapped with masking tape to form Xs. It was about that time that I felt really along in the dream and isolated from the people downstairs. Meaning to say, if some supernatural thingie starts to freak me out, I would be miles away from help. Interestingly, this is from the dream which was the second most scary and deserved a late night phonecall to DM in order to calm down.
6) For the second more scary dream, I dreamt I was informed that I got AIDS and had only 3 months more to live. Victoria was in my dream...sadly, She seemed kinda busy for me. But Sangeeta was in my dream....and I told her everything...and we cried. Oh, the state of disbelief of me being afflicting with something so alien was very real...
7) The 4/1 dream. This one, weiqi knows all about it and judging from her response, I shall censor certain parts so as not to spoil your appetite. In this dream, I found myself and xyz in my old house with lots of people and all i knew was that i wanted to run away from the house. Then i saw that it was too late for xyz...he disappeared in front of me to dust and i was kinda horrified. Later, I was with DM in this weird place which was supposed to be NUS...looks nothing like it. There was an atrium. It was night time but there were alot of people walking about becuase as usual, there was a Bazaar going on (esp this sem for science, bazaars seemed to be never-ending). However, this was no ordinary bazaar for it was in a building that was 3 stories high, full of push cart shops...Dm disappeared to buy something for me and later, I could not find him any more. But i tried...if not for the weird surroundings, i think i would be super excited by the range of products on sell. =) Anyway, to cut the story short, I finally found my way out of the maze of shops into a room where i saw, Weitzer, mingli and Peiwen. There I asked him...where is weiqi? Then he said that she had gone back. At that moment, I had a flashback that all of us did not originally belong in this world. We were from somewhere else and had been magically transported and displaced in this world. Then I was kinda distraught at how dispassionately weitzer informed me about weiqi's disappearance. In an outburst, i shouted...how can? I need weiqi...(crap..this sounds so les). Then when i had come to terms with our dire situation, i told weitzer than xyz was gone too and like some annoying prohphet he said, I know...
Then he said, The rest are coming. Then at that moment which i can never fully describe, I felt myself spinning 360 degree for a paranomic view of people filling up the room. It felt like some huge revelation of the truth of our being. It was a meeting of some sorts, a head count to take stock of the remaining ones. Like DM said later during our phonecall, it's like Matrix...he reckonds that i should write it down for a book or something...haha
Anyway, the whole dream felt so philosophical....got me to thinking about alot of things later.
8)This one is embarrassing so i won't elaborate much. It involved Yuanwei and me eating alot.
9) The scariest dream of all....okie, 8) and 9) happened in the same night. After my microbiology paper yesterday i was so pooped that I fell asleep around 4 or 5 pm after chatting with DM and continued sleeping until 2 am. So that was the time that yuanwei dream took place. After that, i messaged DM...turns out he was awaken by my sms and we chatted on the phone again cuz i was bored. Around 3 plus or so, I got tired again and went back to sleep. This time, I was downstairs (first floor) and i was sleeping on my nice new WHITE floor in the living room. In my freaky dream, I dreamt that I was also sleeping on the floor...everything the same. And I noted the clock said that it was 5.30 am...I started to hear movements in the second floor. This is not unusual as my mom tends to wake up very early in the morning to get a start on housework. So, when she camee down the stairs and found me lying on the floor, i told her that i couldn't sleep and so woke up and came downstairs (freaky...this is the truth). I won't go into detail..but I was surrounded by relatives that i had not seen before and was made to SEW for something big that was coming up. I guess that explains the gathering of weird relatives.
When i was finally alone again, I was in the same position, lying down, as i had been at the start of the dream. At that moment, i saw the fan threatening to fall crushing down on me. But i could not move...because I felt a horrible chill, similar to when you know something is watching you, run down my back. It was at that moment that the sofa started to jerk and move back and forth before stopping with a resounding bang behind the other sofa that i was next to...then the imact cause more plaster around the fans to flake off and fall onto my mouth. I shouted for my mom...i was paralysed with fear. Somehow, i knew that there was nowhere i could move far enough to escape the fan falling on me...until my mom was nearby, did i feel safe enough to try because i tot that the thing (ghost?) would not be so daring with a witness. And as i predicted, the fan came crushing down but i just managed to escape in time.......other weird stuff happens but this was the worse of it all...
Dm thinks i'm too stressed....my brain is overactive and he is getting the brunt of it cuz he has to pacify me =( sorry!~
Ohoh and since i'm here, i got another plasma tv downstairs and the football channel so yuanwei should be very pleased =). Anyone wants to come my house watch football? u r welcome =P
Also, the country club near my place has finally opened so who wants to go gym, swim or try playing bowling with me??
Hee...busy times ahead! YEAY...can't wait for the fun to begin!~
