Visited Universal Studios Singapore yesterday, for the 1st time ever. It was, by far, the best thing that helped me take my mind of things- I couldn't possibly be worried for my studies when I was more worried about staying alive on that roller coaster. And to a certain, perhaps even odd, extent, I forced myself to do things that I usually wouldn't do because I'm pure afraid- jump aboard Revenge of the Mummies, even though I knew it was some high-speed freak. On hindsight I probably was afraid, but perhaps the impulse ( and probably, the adrenaline rush) kept me going... and made me accomplish something I've never dared to do in my life.

And despite the MYEs, it felt strangely happy to be visiting a theme park when my MYEs are just...less than 20 days away. That careful deliberation, childlike impulse and altogether smug satisfaction culminated in a whole day's of ignoring my studies... just for that few hours, everything was bliss. The sensation was almost like drinking- a delirious, excited, exaggerated enthusiasm.

And just like drinking, you become sober in the end. The day was gone, and I managed to successfully force myself to get rid of the worries- for a day, at least. But then again, a day is better than nothing. Perhaps the day was well spent indeed.

And now that I'm 'sober', it's time for work.
