inventive steps
it's like everytime i sit down to write an essay i get waylaid by the hyacinths i'm growing in jam jars on my desk.
and everytime i start typing, i get distracted by the hundred thousand other things that are relevant to the topic i'm writing on in general, but absolutely useless to the essay question i'm writing on in particular.
but this is only because i've had 2 months mental preparation of an essay deadline that is today, and because i've spent the last 2 days doing mostly nothing but lying in bed with a hangover, a glass of water and several nurofen.
and then i blog somemore, and halfway through writing this i realise that my essay question is so philosophical it can be about everything and nothing at all.

The sad legacy of the Singapore education system is that when you say "hyacinth", all I can visualise are those water hyacinths we used to study in lower secondary science or whatever it was...
