soccer trg ytd was fun!! a lot more drills and their warm ups are like a lot weirder! haha. but i think i like it. found out that there's one two seniors, 2 more freshies playing woman soccer. so we walked home together. Jerry- one of my new made soccer friend, sprained her ankle cos she stepped into a pot hole. ok.. but still i think the field is a lot better than NY's. at 11pm, played badminton at hall 10 court. so many ppl were playing. wa liao. i think im going crazy. i've never played sports at such a time. anyway, the lights were so dim (lights are supposed to be out by 11pm), that i couldn even see the shuttlecock. played till 1230, and i was coughing a lot, so i went back to room first. luckily shun ru wasn sleeping yet. so could still slowly wash my stinky socks and shin guards and clothes.

hate the toilet. it's always got bees flying around the lights at night. esp at night. morning and afternoon it's clean, but at night, we always risk stepping on unconscious bees on the floor. one snail just died the day before. someone accidentally stepped on it i suppose cos it's shell was smashed. and slime was around the corpse. by ytd, flies were bugging the corpse, happily feeding on it. by evening, though the corpse was gone (probably cleared by uncle), the slime was still there. YUCK. stupid snail. traveling across the most walked path at night. it took a few hours to move centimetres. by night time, it was only halfway through. HAI.

i wanted to go home today. i have absolutely no lessons at all! so wasted. there's construction near my house, so it's super niosy. i called home and all i could hear was rattling noise of the drill. but anyway, i had to knock on ppl's doors tonight again- blk rep's job. :/ IBG is next week. i suppose ppl are more eager and willing to volunteer their time to take part in inter blk sports.
i slept at 2+ last night, and woke up at 8+ to eat breakfast. ppl are saying 'are you crazy? no lesson somemore, just sleep in la'. haha. but when i was walking to the toilet to brush my teeth, i saw my neighbours, wide and awake, studying alr! how can i not wake up early too?! wa. mugging fever coming on now. everyone is reading to catch up on lectures and tutorials.

my psychology textbook is SO SUPER INFORMATIVE, i have to take days to read one two chapters. kk. shall tilt my head downwards to continue studying. having a laptop in front of you isn always a good thing. so distracting. haha.

something aside. was reading my textbook chapter 3 on sensation and perception. it mentioned about Ms Steen, a synthesthete, an unusual artist. i went google to check up on her.

from the textbook:
Ms. Steen is a most unusual artist because she is able to perceive a world where sounds have colours and shapes, an ability she often turns into unusual and beautiful sculptures. A synthesthete is a person with synesthesia, which literally means "joined sensation". People with this condition are rare- about 1 in 25000. In the synthesthete, the signals that come from the sensory organs, such as the eyes or the ears, go to places in the brain in which they weren't originally meant to be, causing those signals to be interpreted as more than one sensation. A fusion of sound and sight is most common, but touch, taste, and even smell can enter into the mix (Cytowic, 1989)
