this horribly draining week is over! i wonder how long i can last under this mad rush and revision. more prepared but not prepared for the prelims. so much to memorise, a math mock paper this tuesday and i haven't even got friendly with math except vectors which i spent a good few days on. there are simply not enough 'few days' to go around.
oh good the napfa is over and me no get gold because of the pull ups. but my run timing improved to 13:20+, :):):) that was the last mass pe i had, no more pe.
and i've been visiting the airport the last couple'a days. it's really an interesting and non-monotonous place. a break from typical orchard town. you see people arrive leave, not on a mrt train(although yes there is an mrt station) but on a plane. passengers check-in, duty-free shops, conveyor belts of luggages not sushi, people lounging around while waiting for their flights. and it so happens that at the same comfortable cafe they're lounging, there are these mugger bookworm JC students studying. do students in other countries study at the airport? not as much as we do. it's quite a weird thing to do at the airport. so why?
1. libraries have fixed studying times and you can't talk in there, let alone have food beside you.
2. you can't deny that singapore's airport is nice spacious and clean and it's like a food mall! coffee bean, starbucks, delifrance... muffins and cheesecake and coffee and pastries
3. change of environment. (i think we're more creative already!) yeah a study break means walking around the airport and going to the spanking clean toilets, using toilet seat cleaner, filling up water bottles at auto water drinking fountains.
i also like the airport because airport = holidays = enjoyment and right now i want to go on a trip but i can't so i'll just have to physically get nearer to that. hahaha.
