Dreams are bad for mental soundness

I don't know why, but I have been dreaming a lot lately. Dreams of people I know, people I don't know and people who don't know each other behaving like they do. It's weird how dreams can appear to be so real. It seems as if in dreams our emotions are no longer protected by our conscious mind and are blatantly subjected to the harsh environment of dreamland. In dreams, we feel more than we think. It makes something which is physically impossible like flying, seem very acceptable.

I don't like to dream. It tires me emotionally especially during the first few moments I just woken up. And I spend much of my precious waking hours trying to figure out what exactly is it trying to tell me. Most importantly, it makes me emotionally unbalanced cos I'd feel cheated of one night's sleep.

Another dream inspired

I am tired. I think I am too uptight. I know I should take it easy. Recently, I dreamt of something I cannot really remember. All I could remember was the intense feeling of helplessness. It was so real I could feel bits and pieces of it throughout the day. It is eating me away. I need to relax. I need to let it go.

And so I shall.

Update

Alright guys. This post has to be done under 20 minutes. Just a quick update. For now, the study material of this semester seems difficult. Especially biochem. Lets hope it will get better as the semester progress.

Have you ever felt that there's someone behind you but when you turn around there's no one there? Or when you keep hearing someone calling your name in the crowd but when you turned, again there isn't anyone? I keep having this feeling recently. It's like a weird feeling that won't go away.

Elisa came to visit over the weekends but I couldn't meet up with her much. Sorry 'bout that girl. See you in Singapore k!

Speaking of which, its Singapore's Birthday today! Ah.. how I missed the National Day Celebration. And the goodies bag from the parade. To commemorate this day in my own special way, I have decided to wear my Sg tee and instead of the other pop songs, I would sing the national anthem with pride in the bathroom when I bathe today.

Changing buses

Hello! So I am into my second week of my final semester as an undergrad and everything is kinna different. I was assigned to complete my genetics placement in an institute located at the Waite campus which is about 30-40 minutes away from the North Terrace campus. And because I have the privilege of travelling that far away from the city, I have discovered yet another interesting thing about adelaide.

Did you know that the buses here change their numbers as they travel from the suburbs to the city and vice versa? If you see a bus approaching from afar and the number on the bus is, for example 123, and so you thought it isn't your bus cos you're waiting for number 456 but within a blink of an eye, the bus number changed to 456 and you missed the bus because you didn't know that buses could actually change their numbers as they go. How weird is that? The numbers on the buses in adelaide are electronic, unlike the number printed on board kinds you see in singapore, and so changing the bus number is as easy as pushing a button.

Once I got off a bus (thinking I had to change buses) only to see that the bus I was on had its number changed! And the funny thing is that it was changed to the one I was supposed to go on. So, with embrassment written all over my face, I boarded the same bus... again.

I guess this is one of the few things I have to get used to.
