i'm back. not much to talk about i think. just a regular school week. lots of walking up and down and up and down FASS. do you know how HUGE the bloody school is??! for eg, on tuesday (i think it was tuesday) after lecture, i was walking around to find a place to sit to eat. from LT14, to the forum, to AS1. still no seats. then walk all the way over to LT13 area. still no seats. then walk all the way back to forum. finally found a seat. then sumi called to say they're at eusoff hall. so walk all the way back over there. *sigh* AND THEN. thursday. i take 151 to school. walk over to AS4 for class. after class, walk to megabites to buy lunch. then went to the forum. about to start eating then i realise...i forgot to take utensils. *fallover* so...walk back to megabites to grab utensils *embarrassed* no wonder those dumb cashiers were looking at me so weirdly when i paid for my food. they might have TOLD me that i forgot to take utensils. anyway. sat at LT11 to eat. then, went back to forum for nm2216 meeting which i found out that they had found a table over at LT14. so went there. after that, rushed back over to AS5 for class. and then after class, dashed over to CFA for choir. muahahahaha! my dream machine - a teleporter. :D

been very distracted regarding schoolwork. the only thing that i am up to date with is NM2216. i wonder why. all the other readings are badly lagging, especially EL2102. EL3201 is also just as bad. she goes at a chapter per lecture and her chapters are ginormous. lucky the other 2 modules don't have set textbooks. just handout readings. up to date with my El3216 data collection. yay! but i got the feeling my data is a little skewed. the sample that i took it from is not that large. i've got my 25k words of data but...don't know lah. i'll think about it.

jonathan's birthday yesterday. they called us over at 10.30pm to go cut cake. he had a nice cake. swensen's cookie and cream ice cream cake. :D at 10.30 at night, ice cream is nice!! the frozen peach on top was damn cold lah. but shiok. haha! haven't eaten ice cream cake in ages. found one of those wooden figurines at their house. found out what it's called. gestalt human model. i wanna buy two for myself to 'play' with. it cost $18 each at ikea.


although aunty jaynus said that i could take over the one at their house, i don't much fancy that, cos it's missing an arm and a leg is falling out of its socket (courtesy of my boisterous destructive cousins). but had fun with it yesterday when i was there. so i wanna get some of my own.

more complaints...i'm trying to get my bluetooth on my comp to work. i mean, it's working but...like now, i want to move photos from my phone into the comp. but i can't see the photos here, not the pictures from the 'photos' folder. i can see the photos from the 'download' folder though. so actually it IS working...so...aiya. don't know lah. i resisted installing the samsung PIM software cos i thought the bluetooth would work this time. (it worked when i had to send stuff over to theo the last time. but...it just hates my phone. damn. looks like i'll have to intall the PIM suite afterall.

an interesting clay update. he's put up this thing in his blog, kind of a challenge to his claymates...he wants us to cook up a juicy scandal involving him. he's saying how the tabloids are trying to create scandalous stuff about him to throw on the front pages, "Yet, for all of their efforts to be on the "cutting edge" and the forefront of bull$#@& journalism, it seems that some of them may be running out of ideas and resorting to recycling and re-hashing some of their older tall tales. How sad!? With this in mind, we thought maybe we would try to give them a finger.... er.. a hand." i think he's completely lost it liao. he's actually ASKING people to create a scandal about him??! btw, clay's idea of scandal seems kind of skewed. his suggestions were: "me being "abducted by oversized turnips"... or ... "video" of me "dancing with a three legged gorilla"." how WONDERFULLY scandalous clay. *rolls eyes* unfortunately, the scandal that i think would be the most convincing and scandalous would be those already out there. about the gay rumours. or maybe about him having a hot one night stand with britney spears and/or having a illegitimate child. and to think he's actually ASKING people to think up stuff like that. crazy.

but then, it's been quite interesting publicity. THIS SITE actually talks about it, saying he's found a clever way of showing the tabloids that he doesn't care about what they do to him on the front page. so...what do you think? *shrugs*

V day is coming. changed my blogskin. not because of the occasion lah. it's cos i was a little bored with the old one. haha! but this one is pretty too. anyway...back to the topic. V day is coming. whoopie (in a simon cowell tone). probably going to spend it rushing out project proposal. apparently there's one due on that day. and data collection due on the next day. :p i actually wonder where did V day come from? why celebrate it? is it just a day invented by loving couples all around the world to the chagrin of lonely singles like me? see how cynical i am. there's stuff happening round school. about selling flowers and brownies and such like that. oh well. maybe i'll buy one for myself. hidden cynicism. i don't know what this paragraph is about. just rambling on and on and on.
