actually, GP essays can get rather interesting. fact is i've always had a thing for argumentative essays. i remember in primary school or something, i always picked that over picture/descriptive story essays. it is fun to explore worldly issues such as this; there's something intensely satisfying from excavating gems of truth admist the era of confusion and uncertainty that i think i've come to associate most of this world with. i think there's a bit of a fervent truth-finder in all of us, deep down.
but sigh, i think the education system has put things in such a way that lessons for the most part turns us off. GP essays are seen as a chore rather than a nice dose of intellectual stimulation (though it does come with a rather tedious side job of writing lengthy paragraphs). really, free exploration and learning was how everything started, and it should be how everything continues as well.

hmm i realise why my taste for books have been non-fiction over fiction. similar reasons..and you know what, it'll be interesting to recommend people books that you think they will appreciate or gain a little something from, and then see it come back to you with comments on how great the book was and all. mr koh would probably be an expert at this given his superb character-analysis/future prediction skills heh.

fatigue's been getting to me again. it's like what nigel said; only first day of the week and we are already struggling to stay awake through the night (i'm talking about before midnight even); what more can we expect for the rest of the week? sigh i'm not sure how to cope with something like this.

tomorrow does seem to be a rather eventful day. there's parade commander duty first thing in the morning XD, a talk on "the difficulty of being good", ASL interviews, and a special entre session with speaker eric feng (woots). a whole lot of learning points seemd to be lined up tomorrow!

ok, i need sleep. zzz...
