When you are living in a room full of dirt and filth without cleaning it for a month or so and this does not include mopping the floor, you are bound to be in for a shock as my roomie and I decided to clean the room randomly and we were faced with massive amounts of dirt. The fan was dirty. The floor was dirty. The windows were dusty. The walls had small insects residing on the surface. It was basically a room nobody wants to stay but after a hour of sweeping and mopping, it feels DARN GOOD to let your feet touch the clean floor.

On the exam front, it has been madness as I had 3 papers in 3 days with the first of all papers-Computing. Nobody likes Computing. If you like computing, either you love it or you must be lying as I feel that it's a waste of my time and I do not mind taking 2 G.Es to make up for the stupid subject. My seniors who have taken the subject numerous times will rather take 2 G.Es because it's a stupid subject but fortunately, I had a senior friend to teach me and my friends and I completely understood the stupid User defined functions in a hour. The 40 something page was condensed in a hour lecture given by friend and with me practising the questions, I can safely say that I can clear the subject but I hope that i do not count my eggs too early or the chickens or whatever..

The 2nd paper was R.C and this paper was surprisingly OK as the questions were not very difficult but I made a mistake with the first question and I'm hoping that this does not cost me dearly. The third was another stupid subject-CE Management which I studied intensively with my friend over 2 days and covered the entire syllabus skipping a stupid chapter which our gamble paid off when it didnt come out.

A few words of advice- do not take multiple exams or back to back exams within a few days as it's exhausting and can fuck up your mind when you finish the last exam because you badly want to sleep after the paper or you will crack under pressure. I may sound profound or bullshitty but my situation will be an example to people who want to do heroic things to think twice unless it's your FINAL semester.

After my last paper, I caught the 2nd installment of Bourne trilogy. I had to force myself to watch the movie as the first 10mins was not intriguing and felt that it could not match up to Identity but I was so wrong when the car scenes came up and it was so engaging. The 2nd installment in my opinion was good and it's a pity that I caught onto Bourne very late as it's a cinema movie. I will be watching the last installment when I'm taking a break from studies.

On the soccer front, I can't describe what I'm feeling because a season which promised so much for Arsenal went up in smoke when they self desructed due to lack of mental stamina. However, I can't stand clowns like captain Gallas for being emotional, Eboue for being happy go lucky with his tackles and giving me a heart attack, Fabregas for not showing effort. The only person whom I respect is Walcott. He gives his best in the Arsenal shirt. The team have to raise their performance for next season.

The only thing which we possess is our mind and we need to have a mind of our own. We should never let anyone take control of our mind as that is what we have and what makes us unique. I believe that we have a mind for a reason. I'm zonking out. Goodnight, Singapore.
