First World Problem — My Comfortable Home Cause Me to Procrastinate

Hearing about the complaints students have today about the lack of place to study, made me think back upon the days when I was a student. I took a trip down to Changi Airport Terminal 1, where I used to spend many weekends studying (and making out), to record this public service announcement for those struggling with the comforts of their home.


Back in my time, if we needed to go out of our homes to study, the airport is the place to go. During exam time, you can see the students sprawled along the viewing gallery mugging for exams.

There’s Aircon. It’s free. And best of all, we don’t hog the place denying others of its rightful use. And when we screw up our results or don’t deliver our projects on time, we only have ourselves to blame.

This is a public service announcement by the Alpha Mind saying, Don’t Be Inconsiderate. Don’t make your problem, ours.

Good luck for your exams, boys and girls.
