So, I biked home in the rain once again. It wasn’t raining at NUS and so I decided to carry on. Then there was little droplets of water and I proceeded thinking that it was nothing. Then it got bigger and by the time I was near home it was raining cats and dogs and I was drenched! Even then, I decided not to stop and put on my raincoat since I was so near… So near but yet so far… The rain felt like a million needles poking you, and it also felt like I was swimming in the antarticas. Oh well, at least I’m safe and dry and warm in the comfort of my room now. Ok, not quite warm since my new fan seems to be super powerful, even though I set it to the slowest speed.
Anyway, being the Economist that I am, I realise that people really do respond to incentives. Like duh! And sleep is one of the strongest motivators out there. I went to school early for lessons @ 9am. I was supposed to have lessons until 6, and then a project meeting at 630pm. However, the project meeting got cancelled, and so I was supposed to end at 6. Then I thought to myself, the tutorial at 5 to 6 can be skipped and I can go home at 4 to sleep since I have a break from 4 to 5. Further into my lessons I thought that the programming lab too could be skipped since I did not have much to do at the lab anyways so I could go home at 2! By the end of the lesson, I decided not to go for the Statistics lecture since the lecturer would put me to sleep anyway. So here I am, through the rain and at home @ 12! For a day that was supposed to end at 7+ and which ended @ 12 I think that is really good!
On a side note, I got 34/40 for my Econs Mid Term MCQ test, so I guess last minute studying really does pay off!
I’m awake at 230am studying for my Econs test. Have already went through alittle but still need to refresh my theories and stuffs. Also, I need to watch the Liverpool match at 4am later, since I’m a die hard Liverpool fan and you would have to kill me to stop me from watching. That probably means that I would have to sleep at 6am… and wake up at 730am to prepare for school! Lessons start at 9am, and I have lessons from 9 to 4pm. After that, it’s 1 hour of “lunch” before a 1 hour tutorial at 5pm. So my lessons end at 6pm on Thursdays, but that’s not it for tomorrow, or should I say today! I have the dreaded Econs test at 630pm, which ends at 730pm. After that, I’ll probably come home, eat dinner and die on my bed.
Just a thought, Li Lin did said in The Leap Years movie that “it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all”. I wonder if I can synonymously say the same “it’s better to have studied and failed than never to have studied at all!”. Somehow, it just doesn’t have the same meaning when used in this context…
So, people would say that you don’t update your blog if you don’t blog often enough. So here I am writing this post out of nothing, since nothing much happened the past few days! I did go for dinner with the usuals at AMK Hub’s Ichiban Sushi on Thursday. They were supposed to watch The Leap Years, so I decided not to join them for dinner at first. In the end, Yushan (the organizer) managed to convince everyone to watch Meet The Spartans, and so we did! They did ask me how The Leap Years was, and my reply was “it was not too bad for a free movie”, since I won tickets to the sneak preview on Valentine’s day. Anyway, though that reply left room for debate, I can quite safely say that Meet The Spartans was “not worth my time if it was free”. I can only take comfort in the fact that we paid only $6 for the movie, instead of $8/$9.50 or even $10.
Anyway, went to school today after 1 week of “holidays”. Most of my friends were busy with projects and stuff for this so-called holidays, or recess week to be exact, except it didn’t seem much like a recess. Ok, it was not supposed to feel like a recess week for me too, since I had some assignments and projects to do, and also had to study for an Economics test I have this thursday. However, I made it more or less like a recess week by the fact that I procrastinated and did close to nothing for the whole week! So, now I have to rush a few assignments and also study for the test! And they say time flies when you’re having fun! I think time flies when you’re not working/studying! Unless you’re Kermit, then “time’s fun when you’re having flies!”.
So, I was too free today and realised that my fan was alittle dirty. Being the hardworking me, I decided to give my standing fan a wash by hosing it down with water. After washing, I hanged the parts of the fan out to dry. Didn’t really hang them properly, and the fan blades part dropped onto the floor and a small part of it broke. Hmm, I thought that it could still be used, so I decided to assemble everything back together and use it. I thought it was working at the start, except that it got noisier due to more vibrations. Therefore, I decided to let it be and continue using it. After awhile, I noticed that my fan would move further and further away, due to these vibrations. Being the genius that I am, or at least I thought I was, I put my bag to lessen the fans movements, so that it would stay put next to me. Everything was fine until… *boom!!!* I didn’t know what happened at first, just that I heard a loud explosion. I turned around, half thinking that the explosion came from another room, but this was what I saw…
So you see, now we know why you should not use a fan if one of it’s blades is broken! The explosion threw bits of the blades around my room, and I’m quite surprise I’m still alive to be typing this post here. The next time you see you should be thankful that I’m still able to spend time with you, and was not stabbed to death by flying blades of a fan. I will be thankful that I’m still able to be with you still, and not stabbed to death by flying blades of a fan. Jokes aside, my fan is resting in pieces, my aircon is leaking, life sucks for me. Go shopping for a new fan anyone?
So, I wouldn’t say I’m the most proficient in using my camera, but I found one function of it which I really like! It’s the “color accent” function, which basically makes your photo black, white and another colour of your choice! So, here are some shorts of colour accented photos I took!
On a side note, it’s the recess week of NUS today! I asked my mini boss whether she wanted me to go in for work more days this week, but apparently the medium boss thinks there’s no need for it, so here I am slacking my time away at home. I actually have a few projects and stuffs to do, but I’m too lazy to even touch them! Maybe I will start on them later. Or maybe not :P
