Went to AMK library with bryan, zm and siyun yesterday. 4A reunion! well, sort of; 4/40 of a class is still a start, right? so anyway we were pretty much studying the entire way. first part if the day was rather wasted for me, cos all i could manage to do was stare deeply into my notes but not absorb anything. well, at least looking like you're studying is halfway to actually studying, right? well, actually no, but at least i feel marginally better about myself now. second part of the day was better though. i finally motivated myself to start on the chem revision packs, which i've been putting off in favour of every other scrap of homework up till now. i guess it's partly thanks to panyu forgetting to return my math revision pack that i'm now forced to start on chem, so i guess it's a blessing in disguise?
zm and siyun went back first, so bryan and i stayed back to talk nonsense. what with all the mad rush of exams, it's been so long since i've had a good chat with him. quite refreshing to talk about everything under sun (at night) again :D
i was suddenly thinking about how certain songs have certain special meanings to us. i guess it's like what bryan blogged about: the right song playing at the right time, and suddenly melody and memory become inseparable. a few songs do indeed carry a special place in my heart: for example, Burn It Down always reminds me of 2am days in boarding school last year, because i was hooked on the song at the time. Afterlife is always nostalgic for being the first A7X and general metal song i ever heard (outside the library with bryan and you'en, i still remember). and Dear God holds a much stronger memory, albeit a painful one. for some reason, i have a feeling that So Far Away and Save Me are just waiting to be played at the right time to be sealed in my mind forever. it's probably the lyrics that catch my attention.
oh ok, here's something extremely random that i absolutely must put here. if bryan, zm or siyun see this they'll probably roll their eyes because i was so flabbergasted during our study session, but i feel that it deserves even more attention! so here goes: i read in a chem question that flour actually has to be bleached by Cl2O to be made into white bread? like, seriously? you bleach the flour to make white bread. am i the only one who finds this absurd in it's literal cause-and-effect relationship between bleaching and white bread? it's like someone said "we need to clean up the mexican gulf oil spill" and then starts wiping the ocean surface with a cloth, and it worked. it's... it's ridiculous! and yet it's what's actually happening! i'm sorry for the lack of sanity right now, but my mind has officially exploded.
