If I had missed the last bus, I swear heads will roll.

I don't mind attending meetings; it's the inefficiency that makes my blood boil.

I wouldn't claim to be the most busy person in the world, and my time certainly isn't worth as much as say, Superman. But I like having the prerogative of dictating what to do with my time, and not be constrained by some silly inefficient fool.

Having said that, I'm feeling better now. I do suppose in real life, one can't expect everything to go as one pleases.

When I become CEO or regional director or some top brass, you'd better make sure you're competent and productive to get in my good books.

MALAYSIA DECIDES

Fatty said: Malaysian politics, for once, is more exciting than that of the US.

Indeed, Malaysian around the globe should be riveted to their seats, eyes glued to the screen as the shocking opposition wins continue to make our hearts pump at unprecedented rates.

Is this an indication of Malaysians finally reaching a higher level of maturity, and having had enough of bad governance?

I credit part of this political upset to technology, especially blogs. I came across Lim Kit Siang's blog, and felt heartened to read the the comments of his readers and supporters. Even the usually apathetic me frequented his blog, and I dare say that I have become more adept at understanding the Malaysian political scene.

I welcome the turning of tables. I see the possibilities of ideals like equality, tranparency and opportunity, becoming reality.

I feel hopeful.

The night before our encounter with the CN terror, the three of us gathered to do our final preparations. Basically it was PY doing the solving; ZX and I merely slacked around, flipped through our notes and eat cookies.

I was looking at the fomulas for the best fit line, and asked them whether the most likely to be useless equations had to be committed to memory. Parameter 'a' had the formula

SSxy
SSxx

The perverted me immediately recognised it as 'sexy'/'sex'. We had quite a laugh about it, then I realised that it 'SSxy' was more dominant as it was on top. It was ZX , however, who added the final touch to the joke.

He said, "It's only natural that those with XY chromosomes end up being on top."

Hence, a=SSxy/SSxx is now known as the man-on-top formula.

Smart eh? ;)

Enough of tinkering around with the layout.

There. =)

Back to watching my movie entitled "The cost of production", starring a certain Mr Poddar.

New layout. Bear with me. =)

I was lazing in my bed at 9 plus a.m. when Lee Kuen from the Econs Dept called. Her voice, while projecting a positive outcome, seemed to drone endlessly. I willed her to skip all the introduction and tell me the dept's decision.

Things are falling into place. =D

Now every room in PGP has this sticker above the switches. The first thought that came to my mind was "What a waste of money".


It was as if it intruded my privacy and ruined the status quo. Nevertheless, the humble little sticker seems to be emanating good vibes today. Perhaps I should reaffirm my belief that men are pure and kind at the core, only we sometimes need reminding.

When Fatty was born, doctors found a well developed sweet tooth in his mouth. And today, his penchant for all things saccharine became full-fledged.

He was particularly drawn towards cookies, so to satiate him, cookies we baked. =D

Fatty trying to make the butter-egg emulsion.

I was momentarily worried when I realised I forgot how to convert degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius. Betty Crocker sure is an accidental teacher.

Can you count the number of orbitals?

The final product. Our non racist attitude towards cookies is evident.

We wanted Subway versions, ie huge cookie with soft chewy centre, but a batch or two was rather burnt. So Fatty broke of the charred sides and ate what little remained.

Singapore won the bid to host the 2010 Youth Olympics! There is an unexplainable happy fuzzy feeling inside of me. I said to ZX, "Hope we win the bid", during lecture on Thursday. Yes, I subconsciously used the word we. I'm anticipating the changes to the Singapore landscape; glad to be able to be part of it.

On a sadder note, Friday's crane crash at the new alumni house site was a spirit dampener. Wouldn't the nation be ballistic had the tragedy occured at Warren instead?

Wonderful surprises arrive in e-mails and envelopes. Mooi is right. There shouldn't be any "ifs". What I want should be what I get.
