Depression is setting in. How is it possible that my English standard has dropped to such a standard? Even a Primary school student uses much better vocabulary than me. [ I shall quote a sentence from my chinese medical book, 'tears trickled down my face for a long time without signs of stopping, droplets of tears hung on my eyelashes, I could not control my sadness and my face became distorted.']

Of all the days within this week, thursday was my most unproductive day. I could not seem to be able to concentrate as I was really looking forward to friday as it meant that the week has come to an end. It also implied that I was able to sleep on my nice comfortable bed in my cozy room and eat delicious meals whipped up by my parents. I really miss my life at home. Is this a sign of homesickness? I shall not ponder upon this question any longer as I really do not want to destroy anymore of my little brain cells. Most of my brain cells were fighting a losing battle against the chinese characters that I needed to "compressed" into my head. They seriously require a well-deserved break.

Friday was a beautiful day with bright sunshine in the early morning and showers in the evening. My bag was especially heavy since I had to bring home a lot of items, such as my laptop, books and my clothes. Chinese lesson was a race against time as the teacher, sped up his reading speed, resulting in me being lost most of the time. Although i do know the phrase,"yi chun guang yin yi chun jin, chun ying nan mai chun guang yin" it was no excuse for the teacher to speed read through the complex and highly confusing paragraphs. The last lecture of the day was done by a Hong Kong lecturer. As for those who wants to know wat "freezing" things I said during the lecture, please refer to yn's blog. (YES, YN. I READ YOUR BLOG ENTRY AND I SAW SOMETHING THAT YOU HAD WISHED I DID NOT SEE. BEWARE.) After the lecture, I hitched a ride back to Bishan from yn's uncle. Thus, I reached home around 6 plus. Many thanks to Yn's uncle. During the ride, I discovered that yn's "big-head" is more studious than yn and I as she was reading books, Harry Potter as well as yi gu wen". I have to say that she looks real cool in sunglasses.

That is it for today. For more updates, please wait patiently. =)
