I think I have lost my ability to do application questions.
"Using material from the article as well as your own ideas, consider what the priorities of education should be for your country and justify your reasons for choosing these priorties."
I have absolutely no idea how to start on this application question.
It feels damn weird to be holding a pen and writing something too.
I must go into mini-mugging mode soon...at least before I leave for Taiwan...don't want to come back with ALL my work not done.
The ridiculous short length of this entry proves that I have lost all ability to express myself intellectually in English.

Trouble Sleeping
//Trouble Sleeping//
It's been 15 days since my last post. That's 2 weeks. That's a new record.
Not that lots of eventful things happened in my life the past 2 weeks anyway.
However, that's not to say nothing happened at all. PW oral presentation is over, class chalet is over, watched a couple of movies, and basically lazing around at home the rest of the time. The more I laze around, the more time I get, the more I don't feel like blogging.
During the promos preparation period, there's so much I wanted to blog about, be it interesting songs I just recently downloaded, or tv shows, or just my life...but time was a scarce resource back then, thus I have to allocate them efficiently to achieve productive efficiency and allocative effiency...sadly...blogging does not take priority...
Now that I have too much time on my hand, I have no urge to blog. Maybe cause my brain has officially taken a break since promos ended...it feels a sheet of blank paper.
I have a bad sore throat now, in addition to the headache I got from sleeping too much. Yes, I will get a headache by sleeping too much. So I'm feeling pretty much horrible now. Slept at 4+ yesterday...and woke up at 3.30pm today. And anyone who knows me well will know that my ideal sleeping time is 7-8 hours, anything beyond that, I will get aches all over my body plus the splitting headache I'm having now.
Speaking of sleeping too much, I overslept on Tues too...not in the sense that I slept more than 7-8 hours, but in the sense that I was late for tkd training because of that. Training starts at 9.30am, but I was there at 10.10am.
And I was in school at 8.40am!
Brilliant isn't it?
The night before the training (Mon nite), I slept at 4+am...and woke up at 6.30, since I wanna hitch a free ride from my dad who's fetching my bro to school. But since I hate sleep deprievation as much as I hate sleeping too much, I slept in the car throughout the whole journey. When I arrived in school at 8.40, I was so happy that I got more time to sleep that I just slept at the class bench. And poof, it's already 10.10am when I woke up.
It's late and I'm feeling so tired

Now I can't fall asleep cause I woke up too late.
Will probably fall asleep at 3+ later...it's like a vicious cycle that never ends. I desperately want to go to sleep, cause there's nothing much I feel like doing with my headache, and yes, I would love to go to sleep to make my headache goes away...
Class chalet was just over a few days ago...I enjoyed it...the BBQ...playing pool...exploring Bedok...rollerblading....really really thanks to yuming and lih hern for being by my side (literally) while I was rollerblading...if not for them, I would have fallen hard on the ground so so many times...
I was the noobest of the bunch...had to make everyone wait for me...haha...but it was still pretty fun...
Speaking of being noob..I just started learning/playing dota recently...I'm still at the "what items to buy" and "where to buy them" stage...slow reaction time too...I can imagine how frustrated my team mates would be...but I think I am slowly gradually picking up...
Going malaysia tomorrow again to visit my baby cousin...Julien (with a "e" not "a")..he's really adorable...
He's half Chinese, and 1/4 Indian, 1/4 Arab....
It's really amazing looking at him...I visited him when he was just a few days old...such a tiny little thing...
If you think about it...we were all once like him...a helpless little baby...and we just grow....day by day...into what we are today...and our parents have to take care of us...from a small little baby to what we are today...it's kind of amazing if you think about it...
And I made a amazing discovery about babies!
They cannot see!
Ok maybe it's not really amazing...you may already know this...but they can't see clearly. I was moving my fist towards Julien's face very quickly...and normally people would blink their eyes...it's reflex...but he didn't...
So I went online to check...and realised babies' vision takes 6-8 months to fully develop, as opposed to his hearing which takes 1 month to fully develop.
"While your newborn's eyes are physically capable of seeing just fine at birth, his brain isn't ready to process all that visual information, so things stay pretty fuzzy for a while. As his brain develops, so does his ability to see clearly, giving him the tools he needs to understand and manage his environment. Though your baby starts out life being able to see only as far as your face when you hold him, his range of clarity grows steadily, month by month."

I really have to go to sleep now...my headache is killing me...maybe I will try counting sheeps to help me in falling asleep?
