Ys just let me watch this video on youtube. I wonder when the Singaporean media will desist from playing up bimbotic representations of Singaporean women. Have we become such capitalists, unreasonably devoted givers of entertainment, slaves for pop culture, that we've forgotten the importance of representation in media? I believe that not all the girls in that video have hollow skulls, but why is it that they're constantly being portrayed that way? Sigh. Makes me sad.

Anyway, I'm almost outta gas at this point in the semester. :( Been feeling mildly under the weather for more than a week now, probably closer to 2, but I have to persevere. 3 more major ones to drop before it's all over, 1 of them being on Monday. Usually, I get quite frantic less 5 days to deadline, but I'm surprisingly lighthearted. In fact, so lighthearted that I've barely touched the prerequisite readings for the essay. Sigh. It's on photography, and I should be eager to bury my head in them, but it's so hard to just stare at your computer screen and read. Read like there's no tmr. Sigh. This incessant flow of work is just so tiresome.

On another note, after submitting my essay on Tuesday morning, I decided I should reward myself with a jaunt around Valley Girl and a walk in the park since the weather was just perfect that day. So I showered, got dressed, and headed out, albeit without sleep the whole night through, but happy as a button to step outta the house and do smth if not enjoy the sunlight. After dropping by uni and my planned trip to Valley Girl, I came back home to drag the log out of bed and to the park. Wasn't gonna allow him to sleep his day away when it was just awesome outside.

So to the park we went! I call it Exhibition Park because it's along Exhibition, but apparently, it's called Carlton Gardens. Hmmm, well, what it's called doesn't matter.

I love the place. It's got this massive fountain slightly deeper into the park that's untouched by shade, so when the water comes on and reflects the sun rays it looks absolutely magical! :) We were just wondering why the pool beneath it had reddish water. Guessing it was oxide. Oh and Ys feels shudder-ish when he sees that Victorian looking building beside the fountain  cos that's where he sits for his papers. Poor boy. So we settled along the banks of the nearby pond.

Being out and about in the sun made me feel a lot better. My signus went away, I felt happier, wide-eyed. But, HUGESIGH, I'm back to being stuck in my little claustrophobic room again, for the next I don't knw how long. If I'm not here, u'll find me in the radio dungeons in uni editing my life into a radio drama. Speaking of which, this radio drama's my brainchild so I'm gonna be working pretty hard on it.

Cannot wait to finish. But for now, omg, it's 5am, and I'm still at my first set of readings!
