Well, not really. But I guess it's better than what I was feeling on Sunday and Monday. I really feel like a weight has been lifted. What replaces that though, is still open. All people can do is work hard and hope for the best I guess. I'll stop here cos it's kinda hard to type while crossing your fingers.

Post Holiday Musings
Well, the Thanksgiving holiday came and went just like that. But I have to say that it was fun. Even though I wasn't really feeling all that great on Tuesday and Wednesday. And hence have to work on Saturday and Sunday...But I finally have new pumps!!
So I rested a lot on those two days in order to be fully charged for Thursday's drive up to Illnois. Couple of things I noted during this shopping road trip:
1. Sheridan Road turns right at the hospital. Every time I go to see the Baha'i temple, I always miss that turning...
2. Walmart DOES NOT open on Thanksgiving... (8 people learnt this thanks to a certain commenter...)
3. The road is Boncosky, not Bobonsky.
4. If one wants to hide (potentially embarrassing) baby photos, one should do it oneself.
5. Always, always get to the post-Thanksgiving sale early. No matter how early you go, there will be people who are crazier and slept earlier than you.
6. Shopping in an outdoor mall in winter means a lot of shivering and popping into shops just to avoid the cold.
7. BSK is a determined and tactical shopper. A veritable well of shopping knowledge. (she also knows a lot more about my car than myself.)
8. Snow can REALLY accumulated in only 1 hour.
9. Driving in snow entails driving below the legal speed limit.
10. Driving in snow ensures a car wash the next day.

My shopping dividends for the whole trip:
1x adidas sneaker
1x reebok pumps
6x low cut reebok socks
6x atheletic reebok socks
1x reebok small duffel bag
1x nautica fleece
1x nautica long sleeve T

Politically Incorrect Post
Before I delve into the subject of this post, let me first say that you readers have been given ample warning. What could be clearer than a title indicating that the post is politically incorrect? If you persist on reading and end up with wounded sensibilities, tough luck. But I guess most of you guys are pretty ok, given that you actually visit my blog anyways.
In another completely unrelated matter, I wish we had some of that kind of teachers here.Hehe. What the hell was the boy thinking when he turned her in? I think he's not old enough to realise that most other guys would KILL or at least do quite dastardly things to be in his position.
Okie, finally to the subject of the title. My car has bird shit on it again!! Like 2 days after I cleaned the windows. OMFG. That is so irritating!! To counter this, I was considering a variety of options, like mounting a radar/sonar bird-targetting air pistol on the boot/trunk of my car. It could then shoot pellets at any low flying (~10-50 feet) birds within a 20 feet radius of my car. But then it would be expensive to actually design one of these. So then I thought of outsourcing the work. Hire a mexican midget (mexican, because I presume they will be cheaper than american or canadian midgets) to sit in the trunk/boot with a catapult and pelllets. The dude could guard my car and clean it at the same time. And with the strength of the USD, I think I would be able to afford his services for quite awhile. Then them F***ing birds will know that if they shit on my car, the car shits back. F***ing birds...
P.S. Schematic diagram pending...
P.P.S Happy Thanksgiving people! Eat more (birds) and have fun!

Precipitation...
Sucks. Especially when it causes you to shut down your entire system to clean up the mess the inconsiderate chemicals left behind...
Time I reached school : 230pm
Time I started studying : 235pm
Time system went bananas : Approx 245pm
Time stopped cleaning system : 630pm (and only temporarily too)
Probable time of experiment start : 730pm
As opposed to my original estimate of 4pm. Precipitation really really sucks.
OK. Stopping here to get my solution ready. Just a word of advice to budding chemists or people who playing with solution. Don't let them clog your system. Be afraid, be very afraid of temperature differences.

大嘴巴...
真是的。朋友曾经跟我说过我讲太多话，开口之前没想清楚。可是如今我没什么在乎。 但今天我犯了超大的罪。我这种粗心开口的说法伤了她的心。我觉得自己很笨，有个聪明，可爱，活泼的女孩喜欢我，我却这样使她伤心。我真该死。。。从此以 后，我不会这么轻易开口说话了吧。我的本性就是开朗和乐观，可是还需要为别人着想。对那位姑娘，我要深诚得道歉。对不起。我不会故意伤你的。有了你，生活才愉快。
好吧，现在已经晚了。应该睡了。各位，晚安。

Winter is Here
Well, just a scant 3 days from my post telling about winter, it showed up this morning with all its chilling fury. I definitely had temperature shock this morning, going for around 20 to -2 degrees celsius in 5 minutes, rushing for my morning class. The body just refuses to accept the fact that it's bloody cold and makes you believe that it's just a dream, a thing the weather is playing on you. Meanwhile, as you fight with your brain, your fingers get freeze and your legs get numb. It's been awhile since I've experience negative temperatures so I really had forgotten how bad it can get.
Still, some people seem to like it. I have no idea how they can find pleasure in the frost, snow and flurry that rages unabated around us, but if they're happy, at least there are happy people in winter. As opposed to freezing, miserable peaople. 如果她笑，那我就有足够的温暖了。

Winter is coming...
And the goddamned birds still shit on my car... Luckily it's raining right now, so I hope that the stuff gets cleaned off. If there are new water stains, at least they will be new water stains...
And the average clothed human being has just gained about 1.5 pounds due to the proliferation of puff clothes. The average hopes and dreams of adolescent males has also taken an expected down turn. With nothing to see, guys have no hope but to imagine...
And the school term is coming to an end soon. This is the final push. Gotta psyche yourself up to finish strong. To all the readers struggling and fighting, keep your head above the water, your 2nd (or perhaps 3rd/4th) wind is coming. Don't lose hope and don't stop fighting.
And even if girls were to be more complex than physics, I wouldn't want to be on an Earth without them. They just make life seem more joyful and bearable, although you do get the occasional violent *Cough* *Cough* obessive *Cough* *Cough* individual...

Words Of Wisdom Explained
I gleamed the insight that Girls are Simpler than Physics from one source of wisdom but it was never properly explained. For ages I hunted around for clues to garner deeper understanding of that phrase, and at last, I have found it. And can now die in peace.
Z: girls are simpler than physicsWell, I think some people might have differing opinions so let those (probably anonymous) comments come on in!
Z: true or false?
SAGE: i said true
CONFUSED Z: true?
CONFUSED Z: really?
CONFUSED Z: why?
SAGE: cos we are not tt complex
SAGE: need lotsa TLC, praises, presents and attention
SAGE: tt's all

Erm Dunnoe What To Title
Had a really good night's sleep yesterday. I don't know why but I woke up feeling refreshed and then went back to bed for another 40 minutes. Haha.
Don't really know why, but I feel a bit discombobulated (brushing up my verbal for the GREs) today. I guess it's just a cumulation of stress and fears of many things that are not really under my control now. But I guess that's life (I was gonna say cest le vie, but I didn't know how to do the strokes above the e's. Can anyone tell me how?)and we all have to suck it up. But at least I had one serendipitous event occur. Anyone heard of Inductis? But at least they said they would interview me over the phone. That was unexpected. But good. Unexpected but good.

Irritated
So here I am, trying to setup my Thunderbird mail at 3am in the morning. But the stupid thing just won't get it right. It won't transfer all my mail from Mozilla, nor will it even run the junk mail processes right. It hangs whenever I try to rid my folder of junk. So irritating. I'm giving it 1 more chance. If not, it's back to Mozilla for me. Thunderbird can go lay its egg somewhere else.
In other news, it was a day of loss. I realised that my Sony headphones broke in my bag and now I need to get a new pair. Perhaps #2 has some good ideas? Also, Transport Phenomena is so not getting done tonight. I need more sleep now. Goodbye. And yes, I know this is quite incoherent. But it's 3am. So there.

Be A Man
To the people shaking their heads and sighing, well, sooner or later, someone was going to make this joke...
Anyways, I believe that you can broadly categorise (UK spelling) people by watching their reaction to the phrase "Be A Man".
If someone answers "Do the right thing", you know you have a Russell Peters fan there and then. And then you both can chat about all his other jokes and laugh at all the racial funnies. And then you can rinse and repeat the process another 35 times or so, before someone gets irritated.
If someone answers "I Am Not A Man", do not question their masculinity. Because quite probably, the person is not a guy. And would be quite willing to prove that girls can and do beat up guys. So do not mess with someone who responds like that. You will either get trashed or get hit upon (equally undesirable if you don't swing that way).
If someone answers "No man, you be man" (pause here for at least 4-5 seconds of laughter), they are probably buzzed. At this point of time, if you are still cognizant of your actions and aware of your surroundings, it would be amusing to record any further antics of said person. Try to goad them into saying other funny things like "PUNCH RUSH!!" (while trying to imitate video game characters).
Well, a couple of events have happened in my life that have certainly affected the my outlook. Some were good, some were bad, some were both good and bad, but they are the reason why I've been lazy to update. Blame life for my silence. If anything can make up for it, perhaps some photos can?
