The world is full of sick people. Just watch Happy Tree Friends to find out...  ¶

Wah! Touched basketball for the first time since Gryphon's Cup! Was all uncontrollable smiles when i ran up to the court and saw coach and Justin and Chang Loo. i can't believe it. The J1s then proceeded to play a full-court 5-on-5 game. Ended up playing centre for one side, together with Joshua. The lack of exercise was evident. A few laps back and forth almost killed me. If it wasn't the J1s, i'd have died there. But was still happy, and couldn't hide it. :)  ¶

Gosh what a long day! i'm so exhausted by all the physics i have been seeing today. It was all awfully simple mechanics (yes, i haven't gotten further than the first six chapters, and they are alll mechanics), but fishing the important bits and what-i-have-forgottens out of my own old work was really hard. Couldn't resist cursing myself for not annotating the exercise book properly. Still, Vina has to be thanked for letting me break her high score for the GemGame; so does Ruijie, who bought me freshly fried beef hor fun for dinner, all the way from Ghim Moh (and the back gate wasn't open).

Haha, thanks Jane. Just read your fully flooded tag board (tag bored? :p). There were a couple of things that made me grin.

Project Rockstar had actually been reset on 1 September in the end. Now that everything has to start from scratch, i just can't muster any energy to play anymore.  ¶

Yeah! Got my first ever graphic calculator - TI-83 Plus yesterday. Although its "Pacific Blue" exterior looks slightly too childish for a highly sophisticated gadget as itself (not to mention highly priced as well), it is definitely not to be judged by its cover. So far, i've managed to learn to carry out curve sketching, polar coordinates, differentiation, finite integration, and matrices operations using the calculator. Was a wee bit disappointed when Eve whipped out her Casio FX-991MS which (though banned for examination use) is also able to differentiate and integrate. Hmph... pretenders.

Meanwhile, life is moving onto matrices and getting very disorienting indeed...

Yeah Ong Lai just called. It was so enjoyable to talk nothing but crap for almost an hour, like we always did.  ¶

Just uploaded the photos taken on Teachers' Day (not on itself, but rather the celebration day, i.e. last Friday). They're all in the photo album, feel free. :)  ¶

An easy physics practical test + a nice lunch at Delifrance + many things cleared up = a happy happy day! :)

By the way, i'm really quite addicted to the Crab Diva sandwich at Delifrance. It is weird though, 'cuz everytime right after i eat it i feel like throwing up a bit as the mayo is really very greasy. But as my stomach empties the crave will return. The downside, however, is the slightly hefty price of $7.85, which puts it among err... the more high-end things of life. Also the trip to Jelita is slightly too time-consuming at this time of the year. i just wish i discovered this delicacy earlier. *burp* oops... i can still smell the mayo in my breath, yuck!

Speaking of spider, i found one on the inside of my sliding window the other day. So i tried to get it to fly away in the wind by shuffling the windows this way and other so that it would somehow land up on the OUTSIDE of the window. But it didn't work, and the spider disappeared, and it could be anywhere in my room now. If it's not gone or eaten up by a house lizard, i hope that at least it's dead by natural cause now. Anyone knows the lifespan of an average arachnid? And to think that the class of Arachnida also includes scorpions, mites and ticks...  ¶
