When I am stressed out, I

• Open Practical Origami by Rick Beech and try to fold a model inside;
• Read the essays I wrote for my literature modules in NUS;
• Watch sports video clips (climbing, canoe polo, badminton, cycling etc) to get a moment of excitement;
• Revisit old photos (esp. those of my kayaking expeditions) and relive the experience in my mind;
• Listen to my favourite pieces of music again, and pretend I'm playing it;
• Or just simply surf the internet aimlessly, looking for books to mooch for, drop by forums, read articles online.
  

Keeps me sane, I tell ya. It is clear that my laptop is my life-saver against stress and boredom.
