It's sometimes interestin to note how brains (or in this case, my brain) can shut off all incoming sounds and sink into its own world. Like during physics lesson today, my teacher was explaining how to find the direction of force generated by a D.C. motor using Fleming's Left Hand Rule. All the time i was observing my physics teacher's mouth..

open, close. open into oval shape, then into a slit, close. open close open close.

What was fascinating was the fact that I wasn't aware of the words that were produced - the futile attempts of the sound waves to permeate my brain. The whole movement of her lips was played like a silent slow mo film while my mind wandered off to other stuff..

Stuff like how i want my life to be 5 years down the road. I certainly don't see myself working in an office. The first time i tried office work during WEP, i fell sick. 9hours straight in an office is just like locking a cheetah up in an indoor enclosure. It's inhumane!

One thing i dun like is routine. I hate to think that i have to go thru every single day knowing exactly what will happen at exactly what time (like knowing i have to get up every morning at exactly 6am and go to sch for lessons arranged according to the timetable). But sad to say, I have been unsuccessful at tryin to break free from the evil clutches of the educational system for the past 10years.

I was thinkin about my future dreams, the many things i wanna accomplish by age 25, like learning how to ride a motorcycle, diving, and fantasizing abt how i'd meet my future spouse, but i was stopped short in my daydreams by the ringin of the bells. Recessss!

Momentarily, sound entered my brain again. I stood up in time to bid the physics teacher farewell as I was snapped back to reality. Reality.
