Exam Period

Its always very lonely late at night when everyone in the house is already sleeping and I am up alone burning the midnight oil. And yet that also means there are less distractions. No voices heard from the room next door, no slamming doors and no sounds from the tv.

At times like these I need to resist the urge to sleep (not very hard since I have completely screwed up my body clock), find something fattening to eat like chocolate, or turn on the tv to watch reruns of CSI or such like. I really am very bored leh!

Immunology is interesting but very gross to study. In fact a lot of things are gross to study but fun to learn haha. I think I still have a false sense of security since my papers only start on Wednesday. But my rational side is telling me that once the exams start there's no stopping them so I am constantly trying to make myself feel more antsy without much success :(

Instead I spend my time thinking about Alaska, what my apartment is going to be like, what outdoor activities I can do there, thinking about going out with my friends after exams. Other things on my mind include my research options. Argh. And the latest bug that has bitten me is to dig out some fun (ok, maybe I should say more uncommon) things to do in Singapore. Everytime a tourist or exchange student asks questions like where should they go in Singapore? I hear the standard answers of Sentosa and Orchard Road and Zouk. So I must try some other things la. Sentosa and Orchard Road and Zouk are too commonplace. Got new things or not?

Things I have potentially found so far:
(1) Pulau Ubin for cycling and Chek Jawa. Ok not a very new idea I know but I haven't been there in ages.
(2) The Southern islands like Pulau Hantu or Sisters island. (supposed to have wildlife... a bit sceptical about this so maybe should go and find out)
(3) Bottle village at Sembawang, near the park. Dunno what this is but maybe worth a try.
(4) Farms at Yio Chu Kang/Lim Chu Kang. Carine said can feed ponies!
(5) Tree top walk at MacRitchie reservoir.
(6) Bring my korean friends to the Korean Cafe at Marina Square
(7) Check out SnowCity and see how bad it is haha. The snow is supposed to be 4cm deep :p
(8) Visit Little Bali. http://www.littlebali.com/index.htm
(9) Jurong East Swimming Complex
(10) The new national library.
(11) Arab Street.
(12) Batam with exchange students?
(13) Changi Western Boardwalk
(14) Sungei Buloh.
(15) Go for buffet at the Fullerton Hotel if/when I have $$$.
(16) Tra la la! No more ideas but I typed in 16 already.

Can't believe I came up with so many weird ideas. Maybe none of them will materialise. But if anyone's interested must let me know! Good friends, new friends, old friends or whoever. And now I should go back and study.
