Snow. Mention that word to most people living in tropical countries and they will envision something fluffy, cooling and pretty. If you'd mentioned that word to me before thursday night this week, i would still be inclined to believe in that vision. Now, i just think that snow is something that makes the pavements really really wet and slippery and is a walking hazard...

Considering that frozen sidewalks aren't really fun to play with much less walk on, i hate snow.

Well, it's the end of the thanksgiving holidays. I have 3 exams next week and a project due. That sucks. And i'm gonna go back to study already. Just wanted to post to tell my readers that i didn't slip and die on thursday night on the dark ice patch in front of my hall. Nooo. I didn't slip and die. Well, i didn't die at any rate...

Back to the books then.

You know what? Scrap the japanese and chinese words. As you can see from the post below, that idea didn't turn out as good as i thought it would...

So i will now stick to using those characters only for MSN. It's quite stupid. I managed to place in to japanese 201 in my university, unfortunately, 201 doesn't start until next fall. So in the meantime, my japanese is left to rot... Well done. I'm considering taking a lower level course that is available, 102. But i'm wondering if that would be a waste of my time.

In happier news, remember the 3 exams in a day tuesday last week? I know that my post had a typo and it will be corrected. But aside from that point, the results of 2 of the 3 exams are out. Maths was good. Coms was GOOD. Philosophy is pending. At this rate, i will probably get it back only in 3 weeks after the thanksgiving break.

Ahh, the thanksgiving break has started for some people already. Some lucky souls (myself included) have ended school for the week already. And they are preparing to leave for more exotic parts of the country or continent. I know people who are going toronto, florida, california, michigan. Me? My base of operations will be SW 405 Cary Quad West Stadium Ave 1016, West Lafayette , Indiana, 47906. That, incidentally is the address you would send any food, presents, cards, pictures of pretty girls to if you were so inclined. Thus for your convenience, i will retype that information again in a more palatable format.

Moving on to weather, i thought that 6 under was bad. It's currently 9 under and it's only going to get worse. The weather report was wrong, there was snow today. And 1 pair of cargo pants aren't really going to keep you warm. It's great motivation for continuous motion though...

SIgh, i'm still stuck on my CS project. It's the last project of the year and it's the toughest... damn... Well, back to work. Or at least back to trying to work.

Brrr.... it's cold here. 0 degrees outside but it feels like 6 under. And later today, it will be a sunny and balmy -2 as the day's highest temperature... I feel like going to the sperm bank again. (reference to earlier , way earlier comment).

Anyway, i finally cut my hair since getting here. Cost me 12.95 or about 1.6 times the singaporean price. Now my hair takes a short time to dry only. And i can go to sleep early.

Made someone just sign my guestbook. Haha. I feel empowered.

Yeah, and if you guys haven't found out, i have updated the pics page abit. All the Makan Lah (Singaporean Food Fair) pics are up. The haloween pics will be pending...

And Kwong is flying soon.

Haha, life is semi-good again. My laptop still can't work properly but the other major happening in my life has been resolved. And i think i am a bloodied male chicken... Ok you guys are correct. I will now proceed to ice my genitals and get over it.

In other news, this has been the longest day of my scholarly life. I had a 3 papers. Count them, philosophy @ 10am, maths @ 630pm and communications @ 9pm. I ate dinner at 11pm... Suffering from gastric now.

And lastly, but not least(ly), HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZEE!!!

Time-zone difference is why i'm late. Haha.

Hmm... it's really windy today. And by windy, i don't mean the picturesque drive by the beach and cliffs windy. I mean the blow your umbrella inside out, upside down, potiential to form twisters kind of windy. And the weather report says that these winds can reach speeds of up to 45mph (that's about 70knh for the metrically inclined). That's crazy.

In fact, i had a test today and before that test, i was supposed to be studying. But i spent most of the time staring out the window and look at the wind blow leaves about and how people reacted when these mini-leafsters (leaf twisters) blew into them. Quite interesting. The winds were so strong that once the leaves were blown off the ground, some were lifted as high as the 11th storey.

Wow. Ok enough about winds. The Dinner and Dance was an unmitigated success. Well, ok, almost. If you discount the part when we cocked (screwed) up the exit of the Guest of Honour, it was pretty good. But again, one sad fact of Purdue was forced upon me; THERE ARE NO CHIO BU'S... Sigh....

Well, there's always hope for next year...

It's the final countdown... te ne ne ne, te ne ne ne neeeee...

This is it. In 5 hours time, the show will be on. We've worked sooo hard on this Dinner and Dance, i hope that it goes well.
I am reminded of the time that me, shiyao and cj performed that short skit, blue nose and red nose for all the little kids in sec 4... But this time, the crowd is bigger, more mature and there will be food for them to pelt us if they don't like the show...

What we do in life, echoes in eternity...

Let's do it.

Once more into the breach dear friends.
