there's a reason why i'm blogging more and more often. i'm bored of studying. like duh. anyway today i shall write a bit on the toilet bowl haha.

there's this amazing toilet bowl in my hall block. normal toilet bowls will flush the water out once in a full flush. this one amazingly clears out the water once, refills to about 60% normal water level, and then flushes out again. amazing! amazing waste of water too but it beats the next cubicle's toilet bowl which often has many pieces of toilet paper inside which was left unflushed. most of the time the waste have been flushed out, but jc said there was once it wasnt. probably some fellow in my level likes to use ALOT of toilet paper and thinks it's okay not to flush it all away. and i mean alot. like easily two balls of toilet paper.

communal living. the ups and downs.

sometimes i feel like whacking myself.

sometimes the weather is good, maybe breezy, maybe a slight drizzle, and i'd have a lot more to say to myself (yes i talk to myself. i think my father does that too.) but then urally (sorry wang fei.) maybe watch the couples in the rain (oh i have very scenic view from my room. well, very scenic for the standards here anyway) read a few chapters of school rumble (and conveniently laugh my head off) and at the end of the whole session, feel a familiar emptiness float within.

good weather like that should be spent sleeping, or thinking. thinking may make me whack myself. so i should just sleep.

i dun believe it. it seems that there really was a headless chicken. for real. i'm still very doubtful of the article but if you're interested (and not too turned off by the idea of a headless chicken) you can go wikipedia and search for Mike the headless chicken.

omg.

i guess i'm sort of burnt out. well not really, just somewhat sick of exam papers. i've done 2x1203, 4x1101, 4x1111, 1x1100, 7x1101, 2x1102 papers. that's like 20 papers. and i'm getting quite sick of doing papers. bish. i shld be doing a 1100 one now but just aint got that motivation for now so i'm blogging =)

went to see the dentist today. she adjusted the wires and added two fine wires and three rubberbands. i have no idea what she did. whatever. but brushing has become harder now, things can actually get stuck in new places where they've never ventured before. ah well. i think i'll play for half an hour then start on 1100 =P i hope i eventually start.

spent the morning struggling against my CM1101 notes, opposite a couple. it was a tough fight, i must have fell asleep over ten times. interestingly the couple went for lunch and then came back and literally slept at the table. as in they intended to. then the other end of the table there was two girls who left for lunch i suppose, so the only person remaining conscious was me. ironically. so i went to the toilet lor. anyway, i've got three more sets to go, the big ones. i havent practised anything today, and actually i'm thinking of practising my keyboard but there were some kids playing badminton in the comm hall so i'll try my luck again at 4pm.

had lunch at pgp and met zhan rui and his friend daniel. nice bunch of people, talking about army stuff as usual though haha. ai, those with fond memories will talk about them, while the others would reserve their words. on the way back zhan rui waved at another fellow walking out from one of the blks. if i'm not wrong we've met before. ahq. but i have really forgotten his name, sorry. should be getting ready for my practice.

waiting to collect my laundry. then can shower. well i'm not showering now only because i saw my level mate going to shower and there's only one nice shower cubicle (the second one is a little crammed) so ah i'll wait.

met qiying outside lt25 today. as we were chatting (he was doing his c programming thing) i received this call from some eric guy. apparently some very kind soul from my fac has decided to submit my name for usp interview, and wah lau i didnt even know what the hell to expect from usp and there's this fellow asking me if i want to go for the interview. so i said yes lor. in any case the slot he gave me is 15 minutes before my inorg chem test so i told him cannot. he said he would contact me if there's another slot available.

i get this feeling it was leonard. anyway if you have submitted then i should give it a shot lor i guess. not that i think i'll get it. and it's going to force me into overdrive (ie 5 sems x 7 modules, or alternatively i can reconsider my plans for personal revenge against moe)

i'm supposed to be studying later. there's this inorg chem test coming up on wednesday and wow i managed to start studying today. finished the first four basic chapters thus far, but the remaining ones are the killer memory work type. 3 more days to the end of sem1 teaching period. and i dun think i'll get to hug atkins before my test. not likely. so i'll have about 2.5 hrs later on notes if i'm disciplined enough. i learnt from sunday that i'm not as disciplined as i would like to be. spent 8 hrs doing useless surfing. 8 whole hours. someone shoot me.

hehe finally met up with xl and jc today. went over to suntec for a slow lunch (although i think i'm really the only one eating) but hey it's been so long since we've met up =) and happy bday to xl (in about 10 mins)

talked to weicong about my lab reports. he gave me inspiration to write a two page length discussion in my final 1101 lab report. i'm quite keen to get an a for this one, or in the least figure out what else i've done wrong. well i'm feeling a bit fishy because i spent quite a few paragraphs condemning the experiment as assuming some fundamentals without experimental evidence. to top it off i happily mentioned ligand field theory in the opening paragraph, thereby showing that i'm trying to pretend i know what i'm saying and actually what i'm really saying to the ta is probably more to the effect of "hey, fail me man."

lol.
