TV and Smoke

When I was younger, my parents used to tell me that I might just blow up the TV one day by watching the TV for too long. It was their desperate attempt at preventing me from becoming a TV addict. I didn't really bother with their threat then and no TV blew up. However, it never happened until today when the TV was barely switched on for an hour. Too bad I was too kanjong in preventing a fire from starting, I forgot to take a picture of the once in a life time scene.

I am officially sick but not bed ridden. I have gave up on my deceiving myself that I am healthy to go out, jog, swim, night cycle.... but luckily I have a stockpile of movies to kill time. Watched, Hitch, Hostel: Part2, Shooters and Letters from Iwo Jima in the past 48 hours

Special sem is more enjoyable than I had expected when I signed up. The lecturer is humorous yet the questions he asked, the comments and jokes he made are all quite "enlightening". How I wish that all engine modules can be as interesting as this. I know I am sick but I am still sane enough to know that I am daydreaming. There are also interesting people in that class. Overenthusiastic smart alecs seem to be in abundance in lecture, while overenthusiastic freshies are in abundance in my tutorial group (7 out of 13 people).

Nightcycling was kinda refreshing; most of the participants were sick. In addition, a total of more than 3 hours were spent on fixing the bikes and one eventually gave way. Went to a grand total of ONE eating place (mac at ecp is not counted). The saving grace is the bah chor mee that I have haven't tasted for months.

Saw damn a lot of people skating at ecp. I didn't know it is still the "in" thing now. Maybe I should really try inline skating soon.

9 days and counting....

In another 9 working days:
1. I will not need to wake up at 5.30am every morning.
2. Take extra care when eating soupy food
3. Squint my eyes at the monitor all day long
4. Use an antique nokia phone

Although this attachment is one of the most enjoyable so far(maybe because that it is one of the shortest), I hope this is my last one.

As of tomorrow, I still have another 2 months before school starts. Hope my procastinations do not put the two months to waste. Actually there isn't much I can do other than play, rest and a little tiny bit of studying for my special term. The past one month hasn't been so bad. Even thought I did not really do something very fulfilling, at least I feel fitter than a month ago which give me higher confidence in getting a silver for IPPT. It's worth a hundred dollars! Which can be use to offset my 124-dollars-more-expensive-than-if-I-book-now-budget-airline Vietnam trip and maybe the "so-going-to-happen" bintan trip.

From my experience in the past one month, I come to realise that Singapore is indeed a small island. First day of work, I bumped into Zhichao, my mids batch mate, who is studying in NTU, in NUS library. Second week of work, bumped into Nick, another one my mids batch mate who also happened to be my secondary school CCA mate and JC school mate, working as a waiter for a catering company. All thanks to the coincidence, we got to do a lot of catching up. Third blk outing, bumped into Waihan, friend from the JC days, sitting just one seat in front of my during the screening of pirates 3 (rather disappointing movie though). Plus a few hi and bye friends that I met on the MRT and bus rides home. I guess I managed to spot them because I can't just simply drop my head and doze off the moment my butt hit the seat anymore. Nevermind. In another 9 working days i can sleep on the bus/MRT all I want.
