Heya guys...

CH>> It pains me to say this but you're becoming one of those typical Singaporean international students who does nothing but whinges and complains. Aiyah, life is gonna be like that for the next 5 years you know. Live with it. Plus you're going home in 5 weeks. I swear you will complain about the heat in Singapore, the rude and too many people and blah blah blah. See, typical overseas student.

An oil heater does what it does, heat up the room slowly. Like a fire. If you have a timer on yours, then set it like an hour or something. Mine's a 12 fin oil heater bought it for $80 that day. The thing about oil heaters, you can switch them off after 2-3hours provided you keep the door closed and the window ajar.

A fan heater is good if you want instant heat. Although I think a really shower will work the same way. Hibernation is a natural process. You might wanna know that small doses of coffee throughout the day keep you awake rather than 3 cups at one go at night. And, drink tea if you wanna keep awake, not coffee.

Some help for your essay.
