All the Not So Small Things
Oops. Time goes by so quickly nowadays i hardly felt it whooshing past me. Its been a month since i last posted (was reminded =P) and two more weeks til exams. I think im built for slogging, though i like to slack, give me something to do and i'll do it, but if there's nothing.. then well.. its slacking time! =) I like to give myself things to do however, for some strange reason, like if i feel life's too slack (can it ever be?? lol), i will throw myself a couple of spanners, just to choke up my smooth running engine a little. Totally weird man.. but for some reason i've got a knack for doing such things. Think i inherited it from my mom. Lolz. Take for example this semester, as if 4 core modules werent enuff, i had to take a urops and an additional independent research project. IN addition, i signed up for science camp main committee as well as DnD comm. Madness, i tell you. Mebbe i just like to fill up my time with stuff. Oh well.. the main consequence of my actions was that im confined to my room and my papers 5/7 days in a week, and the other two at home or at meetings. Quite a mess i've got myself into huh. But then no worries. I'm still here, alive and kicking. And i tell myself that nothing lasts forever, even cold november rain. Oops i couldnt resist that. =P
Heh.. all that blather is a result of a terrbily stressed mind. Lolz. But well.. all work and no play blah blah blah. But as usual, ive had my fun. Went for a recce at old changi hospital on thursday as part of the sci camp fright night (who else better to be the director rite? =P) For those who have never been there, i can only confirm the rumours you have heard about the place. It is VERY bad. For one thing, it is HUGE. The complex is probably the size of Med faculty, complete with pitch dark toilets, winding stairwells, long narrow corridors, many many doors, rooms under the stairs, abandoned lift shafts, septic tanks, Resident Evil kitchen and laboratory scenes, enough to shoot a full scale horror movie. And there was the smell. When i first went in in the afternoon, the feeling i got was bad enough, the air was stuffy and constrictive, and there was this really heavy silence, no insect sounds, actually come to think of it, i dont recall seeing even ants or lizards which are typical in most buildings, even abandoned ones. Some places were so dark, even in the day, we (i went in with a couple of guys) couldnt see without a torch. I went in again at night, and it was naturally worse. Fortunately though i already explored much of the area in the day, so there was less probing around hidden corners, opening cupboards and kicking doors open (some were locked lah). The places of note (ie the creepiest spots) were the dispensary, which felt super claustrophobic for some strange reason, the kitchen (of Resident Evil fame), and the surgery room, which embodied the essence of the atmosphere of a horror movie. Dark, creepy, and full of hidden corners. Unfortunately (or fortunately) we werent able to find the mortuary, so that's one less tourist attraction on our tour. Actually come to think of it, i think i can be tour guide for old cgh liaoz. Heh. Next class outing? (Just kidding!! =) ) Yepz. But i think my fright night will be the best ever held in NUS (mebbe in singapore ah. Oh and some say batam.). No doubt about that. =)
Well then, its back to work for me. I'll be buried in work for the next month or so, but feel free to contact me if you need, it puts colour in my otherwise colourless life. =)
