You know you're in deep shit when
1) You increase the font size and line spacings in a desperate attempt to make your assignment look filled.
2) You heave a sigh of relief when you finally reach that minimal 1500 word milestone . Then you remember your super mugger classmates whose assignments resemble the holy quran , the bible , the entire edition of Encyclopaedia Brittanica and a month's worth of stale newspapers . Stacked on top of each other.
Then again you remind yourself . Quality , not quantity . A pity the consolation lasts only a bloody fleeting second .
3) You blog at 3am with a half-completed assignment sticking to your ass . And of course , the deadline's due in a couple of hours.
4) You get mighty pissed at the slightest of disturbances like the drone of the hamster wheel ( why does it sounds so inexplicably loud tonight ? ) or the innocent goodnight message from a friend you haven't heard from in eons.
5) You chastise yourself for procrastinating and then proceed to do something totally irrelevant to your assignment like make egg mayonaise for breakfast later , nibble on expired Chinese New Year cookies or swivel around in your chair . Like its gonna help you complete the fucking work.
6) You pray very hard that your supervisor assigns you to work only after the last project deadline which is on wednesday. Then you receive a message from him that goes "ur wrkin on mon n tues closin shift" .
7) You decide to calm your frazzled nerves down by gulping down an estimated two shots of Martell down . Neat . Suddenly the world seems like a better place and your mind tells you the soothing words "fuck the project fuck the project go to sleep go to sleep fuck the project "
8) You think its funny to scare yourself by selecting all and backspacing the entire day's worth of work and then going to Edit : Undo typing .
9) You want to call someone to rant at . Then you realise that your best friend's sleeping by now , and your best guy buddy busted .
10) You realise that your printer is out of ink .
11) You feel like smoking for the first time ever ( excluding the closet / social smoker in me that emerges when i'm clubbing ) . You find yourself in a familiar scenario : Got lighter , no ciggies .
11) You realise that you spent 20 precious minutes writing this shit.
Na bei.

listening to : signur ros - svefn-g-englar
( this band rocks . The fact that they sing in a totally self-invented "language" enthralls me further . Sigh . I wanna go to Iceland !!!!! )

UPDATE AT 4.30 am
I HAVE COMPLETED MY BLOODY JOURNALISM PROJECT !!!!!! HELL YEAH !
I have written bollocks for my final conclusion which is bound to stir up quite some ire in my lecturer because i have written blatantly honest thoughts for it .
An excerpt from my conclusion
"In my honest and humble opinion , i really feel very strongly that the local news reporting scene lacks liberalism , is so tightly bound by the noose hung by the government that the audience only see know what the government wants us to know . A check done by me with foreign news desks only confirms my suspicions , as many news have gone unreported for example , racist attacks with a high death toll in the United States .
The government has gone thus far to protect the minds of gullible Singaporeans who live in the bubble wrap provided by the latter. To protect diplomatic ties with Uncle Sam , the local news feed us with articles about the good ol' States with feel-good vibes . How many of us actually know that despite having such massive amounts in their coffers , good ol' Uncle Sam only donated such a mere insignificant amount to the Tsunami aid and yet still have the impudence to question other countries with regards to the amount of donation offered ?"
*rolls eyes*
Well , whatever. My lecturer's probably gonna hand me over to the authorities for being anti-government. Heh heh heh.
COME CATCH ME LAH !!
