How many times have you blasted your brain to find a condusive place to study? Well, i have. Many times. This semester, i "explored" some of the places near hougang to study. (khakis included: yan wen and cindy).

Monday: Chinese Development Assistance Council+ Macdonalds+Void Deck

Started early in the morning to search for this place (CDAC) as recommended by my little brother. Walked a long distance from hougang plaza to find that it is actually behind my pri sch. So the sign read "mon-fri: 1pm to .." Went to a void deck nearby to study instead. For the occassional discomfort from stares by passerby and noise from recess break, it was actually quite a nice place to study. But a tad bit too hot.

Went to meet yan wen for lunch at hougang plaza before proceeding to Mac for out short revision (Cos we were waiting for cindy. CINDY LA!!). I still can't understand why people loved going there for revision. ITS SUPER NOISY! Even before school break. Distractions were almost exactly those you found at home.

Went back to CDAC for revision. Other than the unwelcoming auntie, this was really the one to go for a quite revision. Other than the ocassion bell from the detector, the bomb shelter has a real good acoustical performace. The tables were in jap style so you can fold your legs akimbo or sit in any position you like. Clean toilets, aircon temperature just right. When we took our break outside, we even witnessed a 'murder' scene. Well, a cat caught a javan mynah and ran away with it.

Tuesday: Home

This is the worst of the worst!!! Lots of resistance. No discipline to wake up early. Television is a click away (plus SCV!!) Bed to take afternoon nap. Snacks in the kitchen. Rabbits to play with. Horrible horrible! I only studied 1.5 chapters of M&E the whole day! And you have to pay for switching on aircon!

Wednesday: Ci yuan wellness studio

Well, my dad introduced me this place. But i was quite disappointed when i went there. There is only this small table that can accomodate only 2 people. But the people there were very nice. We were rather ...unfortunate cos it was also karaoke session that day. So it was pretty noisy when the aunties sang next door. Well, it was kinda like a live band on some occassion so it was alright la. But the place was vibrating badly that i worry the clock above us would drop any time.

Good Luck to everyone on their exams!
