Life has been pretty busy lately cos of PW.
My sleep cycle changed quite significantly over the course of the past week. Suddenly PW kept me awake during the nights, so I had to sleep in the afternoon (about 2+ hours from 6 to 8) then wake up to eat dinner, catch my Wong Fei Hung, and then PW till about 4am each night/morning, before sleeping. Well actually, the number of hours I get doesn't actually decrease all that much. I'm just splitting it into two halves, really...
So to cope with the above, yesterday I came home from Chinese lesson at about 1+pm and slept all the way till 6pm - then slept from abt 3-9am this morning and napped again (accidentally) in the afternoon from about 1-3pm. I felt pretty guilty afterwards.
The unofficial deadline for PW WR to be submitted was actually last Friday, but they extended the deadline till this Friday. I suppose my group needs all that extra time, anyway. I'm actually a huge liability to my group because I only really started on PW in the past month or so when CCA stopped to make way for promos. Sorry, guy (and girls)...
I actually don't hate PW that much. One of my virtues is that whenever you chuck something at me, I won't ever vehemently hate it for ever and ever. I used to hate Chinese, but recently I at least got neutral with it. I never touched cabbage in the past, but now I nibble at it a bit if there's no other alternative. Such as during camps, when the daily grub generally consists of rice (not enough), a sausage/egg/sad-looking piece of meat and cabbage. So I suppose I can see the upsides of PW. I mean, I'm basically slightly more masterful at handling Microsoft Word now (yay!), and I got to experience for myself how projects are done. The only sad thing is the utter waste of time PW is with regards to studies. And that all these WRs are thrown away - incinerated - at the end of each year, apart from a few selected ones designated to be the next year's sample WRs. This is utter wastage of one year's worth of effort put in by the several thousands of PW groups island-wide... PW should be something that forces groups to take a long, hard, critical look at Singapore society and attempt to give back to this society through research from overseas or from existing local solutions, and not merely for examiners to mark, take away, and dispose of. Knowledge is power. Information is gold. And ideas are essential to the growth of any individual, enterprise, society or even country. The MOE should realy reconsider simply throwing away potentially credible, feasible WRs every year.
During my long nights, I go to YouTube and spam songs. Now, I said that I don't really listen to songs, but the spammage was needed - or else I'd really have fallen asleep somewhere till the next day. Which would be quite disastrous.
Today many new ideas came to my head for the story outline I did a few weeks back (If you still remember. If you don't, it's the lovey-dovey one where girl writes to guy using a notebook placed in a locker in a public swimming complex). But yet I don't have the time to type anything yet! And when I finally do, I'll probably have long forgotton what I wanted to do... Oh, well.
