a short break from studying (again) (i meant both the 'short break' and 'studying')

today started off on a good note - morning rain creates the perfect conditions for rolling around in bed until i can no longer doze. last night was when the burden of exercising my vote in the today's presidential polls kind-of hit, but well, i didnt find many big reasons for me to change my mind so.. yup. i honestly cant say that ive been as responsible a voter as i wanted to be (and i might not be able to fully justify why i voted for a particular Tan) but i did put some thought into it? that's gotta be enough, right? would my vote matter anyway? i kept coming up with both serious questions and excuses to not think so hard about it.

so that's that. we'll see who wins the election tonight. in the meantime, ive been a complete failure at studying at home again. first, i started off late because i went out with my parents for bfast and to tampines1 for awhile. then came back to vote. it was already 2pm? second, cos ive been realll distracted. ive stopped myself from sleeping with a cup of nespresso (even though the weather's so perfect for a nap) but there's always facebook, youtube, the birds outside my window, the birds nesting on the aircon unit outside my house.. the How to Multitask game (http://www.smart-kit.com/games/how_to_multitask/#.TlYWGbfVd4A.facebook)

since i've just mentioned the birds nesting on the aircon unit outside my house.. i think they deserve to be mentioned and noted here on the blog (although i think much of our lives doesnt get recorded here). in a sentence: i am amazed at my parents' reaction to the birds. im not sure if they love birds or just dont have much to do, but theyve stopped using aircon since about a month ago, tried to buy a lousy cooling unit from Giant to cool the room (which failed), then my mother buay tahan and started coming to my room to cool off before moving back to her room (i dont sleep with aircon), then my mother lost enthusiasm for the birds halfway, while my father went on to buy an infrared camera, got it mounted it on a pole outside and he spent a week figuring it out and trying to get it accessible via the internet. they also put bird seed and water out for the birds.

i must say the birds are quite cute hmm its apparently a zebra dove. and there are two little birds in the nest right now! even though my dad took a pic of a single egg in the nest very early on. Both birds are pretty big and are already covered in feathers!

so that's how my rare day-at-home is going. i shouldve gone to school. i'll probably do that tomorrow, but then i'll have to sort out my lunch and dinner. this particular topic on the corporate constitution is pretty dry and statute-heavy so its not really holding my attention zzz.

in other news, i think ive put quite abit of stuff on my plate for the year ahead. so things are gonna get busy esp towards the end of sem and during dec hols. UCF starting nxt week too. time to go into alert mode and get the brain to be fully operational! wonder if blogging's a good way to practise writing haha if i didnt write stuff here i think i would hardly be expressing myself at all. nowadays at least. life is v different from before oO

must try to make a trip to lombok in early december happen!
