Wake Me Up!

So the new semester has only been 3 days old, and I am feeling the strain. This strain that I am going through is more than just the "oh man... damn stressed damn stressed..."
its the amount of pain my body undergoes through when i wake up. So smart right, after 1 month of inactivity, play soccer all out the day before school starts.
Each step up the never-ending staircases of Kent Ridge Campus have been torturous. Especially with the load of all the new books and laptop.

The pain resonates even through my mouth. Thanks to the "mother-of-all-ulcers", that went behind my throat, found it to be a nice place, and set up shop for over a week ago.

Hurts like a bitch...

Senses dulled, judgment impaired. If i was in an environment a little more hostile, the vultures would be circling around right about now.

For example, today while i had a quick lunch at the arts canteen, there were these two engineering guys who were sitting at the table next to me. They were engineering guys because they spoke really bad English peppered with Chinese adverbs and determiners.

那个lecturer like, 很boring lor... 我们like全部都 "saeh" 去.

Anyway, they were talking about their car engines, like one said,

"我的是1.5 litre leh. i think 你的even bigger.

Then the other was like

是meh? i think 1.3 而已.

Then the other one said "aiyah, nevermind, at first 我的 only 1 litre leh.

I was thinking to myself, “wow, these guys all have their own cars, not bad i also want.”

i almost choked, when I turned around and saw them comparing water bottles.

Honestly, i really feel like i'm never really awake, i'm always in this, trance-like state. Its scary.
