Busy busy

I am insanely busy these days
This looks super disgusting I know.
The number of lunch boxes = The number of days I didn't go up to the kitchen to eat.

There will be at least four different materials on my table at any one time.
1) My tutorial question paper.
2) My lecture notes.
3) My answer sheet.
4) My laptop for additional information when required.

My chair has been converted to my make-shift, movable side table on which I put my notes and bag. This is how it normally looks.

This is how it will turn out to be when I am super busy.



Because my chair is taken, I'd sit on my bed and thus have the study table on one side of my bed (check out the light!), ...

... and the notice board on the other. So I am kinna buried under the books of wisdom and wise words, literally.

In times like this, nothing beats a good cup of coffee. This is what Sze and I would have at our "lao di fang" during breaks at school.

Chotto matte kudasai

There are some things in life I simply cannot tolerate.

1) Walking behind a group of slow moving people who line themselves in such a way that no one can past them without firstly getting off the pavement and onto the dangerous road.

2) Nearing a traffic junction only to find the lights changing to red.

3) Nearing a bus stop only to see the bus leaving the bus stop.

4) Waiting for a friend who was to be there half a hour ago.

In short, I hate to wait. But I have no issues waiting in line for something.

Which is strange.

Like this post.

See Food!

Marketing video (part I)

Marketing video (part II)

First things first! Sorry for the late post. It took longer than expected to edit and even longer to try and upload. But the marketing videos are finally up.

Second, exams are really near so I won't be blogging as frequent as I normally would. So, I guess, sorry again.

Thirdly, there actually isn't a third so I am going to end this awkwardly right here.

Right, left, right

Have you ever think its funny how we were taught to cross the road when we were young? The weird notion of looking right, then left, then right again is so... hmm... Why in the world do we need to do that for?

Why do we have to look right again when we have already done it in the first place? If its just to make sure we didn't missed any vehicles earlier, then why DON'T we need to look to the left again? It doesn't make any sense!

And why don't we look to the left, then right, then left? Why does it have to be right->left->right?

I know nobody really does it nowadays so its not a big deal but I'm curious about the logic behind the theory. Are we compromising our safety if we looked to the left first instead of the right?

This is not a joke, I swear. If you know any logical reason to these otherwise ridiculous actions, kindly let me know.

~ END~

Lastest news! Mingying has just solved the mystery! According to her, we look to the right first because Singapore is a right-hand drive country. So the cars come from the right. And then you look to the left for the next lane of cars which comes from your left. Haha but I bet you guys already knew this and I am just another retarded person who amazingly escaped natural selection. No offence to, well, people who might feel offended. I was just referring to me.

Aside to Mingying, thanks again and that was really fast!

8 or 9?

I woke with a confused state of mind today. Partly due to a weird dream but mostly because I have no idea what time it was. The clock on my phone read 0830. Wow! Looks like I'm all ready for school on Tuesday. Hey but hang on, it's not 0830. It's 0930! Daylight saving starts today remember?

Our rights have been rightfully violated by the daylight robbery of daylight saving. (excuse the pun and irony)

And to the others who are very curious how this is like, this is like when you have only slept for 8 hours but the clock says 9. This is like a lost lunch break, passed you by without your knowledge. This is like turning one hour older prematurely. This is like being robbed of an hour of life.

I am exaggerating, as usual. But the part about me being confuse, that's true.

They are back! (just read those in red)

It's official.

It is my great pleaSure to inform you that my presence is most crucially required at Wayville, my exam hall.

On the 8th of Nov, the newly recruited guy named Stats will need me to read boxplots and graphs and comment on the linearity and homoscadacity.

Then, I will need to help Maths to use limits and the Gram Schmidt method to obtain orthonormal bases on the 11th.

And then on the 13th, Biology will need me to help him with some respiratory and bacterial infection problems.

Lastly, on the 15th, Chemistry will want me to help him with spontaneous reactions and Gibbs free energy.

Alright fun's over. Its back to studying.

...nothing at all

Conversation (plus a little note)

" That's why I prefer to write. You had no idea how many takes it took for me to get just one sentence right, " I said.


" But it was fun, wasn't it? And people enjoy seeing you on tape, " L explained, " it'll give a more personal touch than writing. "


" Well, I can write on personal stuff. "


L gave me a look.


" It's just.. well.. I don't really write those cause people already know so much about me, " I said and turned my back towards her. " What else is there left to say? "


Opps wrong question.


" Well, you still gotta admit you had fun, " L said. I was glad she didn't pursue the question.


" Yeah I did, " I said, this time facing her. " Maybe I'll do it again another time. "



(By the way, I just wanted to ask if the video yesterday was clear. Cos if it was, then I'm pretty sure it would've surprised some people that we cross the road this way but no one seems to be commenting on it. Hmm or maybe its just me who's overly excited about it.)
