head lice.

I woke up from a nightmare today about having giant head lice that my aunt tried to forcibly remove from my scalp, and the lice just latched onto my scalp, like tenacious little critters they are supposed to be. 

Exams are over and I’m feeling depressed because all my friends are flying back home pretty soon. I’m getting the homesick feeling, and this probably won’t help, but I’d like to eat these:

1. Popiah

2. Pig’s organ soup

3. Claypot laksa

4. Wanton mee

5. Curry

6. Egg tarts

7. Takopachi balls

8. Orh Luak

9. Sambal Stingray

10. Hokkien mee

11. BTK Chicken rice

12. Bedok BCM (Soup)

13. Ho Kee pork porridge with century egg

14. Egg prata with fish curry

15. Otah from Kovan

16. XLB from Din Tai Fung (wish I could eat them in Shanghai!!!)

17. 150$ Sushi Tei binge with my homies

18. Tau Huay

19. Scissors cut rice with a particular homie :)

20. Thai food binge

21. Kway Chap

22. Bukit Purmei Lor Mee

23. Lontong

24. Assorted kueh

25. Da pau

schhhhh

This exam period has my sleep cycle swinging around like a monkey on hoops. I’ve had days where I wake up and 10pm to study till 7am, and days where I wake up at 7am to study till 10pm. I’m getting black eye circles I need to fix really, really soon…

情有独钟

每一秒想着。。。

keepin’ it real

It’s my first semester undertaking such a heavy study load. I don’t believe in luck, and I honestly don’t know how I’ll fare for these exams this time. I’ve overturned my entire sleep pattern to study for these exams: I woke up at 12am and slept at 2pm. My first exam is at 2pm on Monday. Great.

done

I can’t begin to say how relieved I am; to finish my last assignment of this semester. Essay assignments are always a labor of love: I stay up through the night till I am sure they are flawless for submission. Tonight’s essay is about the Opium Wars in China. Let’s just say I’d rather study for the upcoming exams than do another History essay again.
