Adventure w RAMUNE (ラムネ) =^-^=

Yes, King Liang, it takes me 3 days to actually get this entry up.... Well, after bringing the UNSW ppl back to PGP on Sunday, Yew Mun, King Liang, Mun Keat, and I headed down to Raffles City... KL wanted to introduce me to ラムネ (pronounced as "ra-mu-ne") a pretty unique Japanese soft drink. Lunch at Subway, then the 4 of us trooped down to Market Place at the basement of Raffles City.... When we got to the Japanese produce section, I was getting pretty excited, especially since ラムネ turned out to be a drink I saw on either anime or J-drama before ^^ There were other flavors like orange and peach and stuff but only 3 of them were in the "authentic" glass bottle.... So the adventure begins after putting the drink in the fridge upon getting home ^^

Okie.... I ended up buying the original flavored ラムネ (pretty much tasteless to me... prob because loads of Singaporean soft drinks are very sweet). [1] shows the unopened bottle. Kinda looks like a normal soft drink in a glass bottle but looks can be deceiving, ya know! So upon closer inspection, there are interesting labels like in [2] and [3] as to how to open the bottle.... Basically there is a little plastic t-shaped thingie that you use to unseal the bottle by pushing the glass marble dn ^^

So ya, after removing the normal plastic seal thing at the top, the bottle ends up looking like [4], where the geen plastic bits at the top just sitting there, and come apart like in [5]. The smaller plastic bit on the left is the "t-shaped" thingie used to push the glass ball down...

Now comes the troublesome part..... the proper unsealing, so that I can get to my drink.... [6] shows how u shld place the plasatic bit, and u gotta use A LOT of strength to get the darn ball down!! I tried, didn't work.... Mom tried, didn't work... Went to get a flat pebble we had, I held on to the bottle, and Mom went "wham" on the pebble, and the glass ball *finally* went dn.... You can sorta see it fizzle-ling in [7]

Just in case that wasn't large enough, here are some close-ups of the bubbles forming ard the ball... other than those little bubbles, there wasn't much excitement *lol* And yea, Juan (along w sibs and mom) proceeded to finish the 200mL of drink there was.... Not really a lot, but I only understood how THICK the walls of the bottle are after we finished the drink!!

Well.... here's the emptied product... The bottle is contoured in such a way that the glass ball doesn't fall all the way down but instead stays some where in the middle.... Well, now Juan has a nice noisy, albeit heavy, rattle on my table ^^ One good thing that came out of this is that now I have something ready for Japanese 4 culture presentation (photos and bottle alike!! heehee... might even get another bottle just before the presentation so I can demo how to open it ^^)

Trip to the airport....

Juan really needs to remember that it takes near to 2 hours to get to the airport from home.... Nice LOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG train ride *sigh* To start the story from the beginning, a group of us from SPS are helping out with a Science Summer School Programme thing NUS has w UNSW, so some of (the group of) us were at the airport to greet them... We were supposed to meet at 1730h since their flight was to arrive at 1745 but silly me was an hour late. Thankfully none of them were out yet ^^ Oh well... Managed to get all 27 of them safely, and on to PGP we go.... Wei Wen JUST had to whip out his deck of cards to play bridge while we were on the bus ^^ Oh, apparently they have a similar game called "500" (?) back Down Under... Unfortunately, the 2 we were playing with weren't exactly sure of the rules for it...

Next "adventure" at PGP was with the cluster gates that were situated at each level... Spent a good 15 minutes trying to figure out how to actually open them (especially since I don't stay in a hall) *rofl* And then back down to the air-con canteen for a quick meeting and briefing for tmr, as well as the collection of their [rather nice] welcome pack.... There was also a short comment abt the pink guavas that are eaten in Australia and the whitish, "pear-ish" ones we eat in Singapore. Well, the commercial guava drinks (like the ones from Pokka) we get in Singapore are made from the pink guavas, and they are sweeter compared to the practically tasteless white ones.... Pink and white are referring to the flesh inside... All guava skins are green....

Anyway, there wld be some of us bringing them to Clementi to get hp Sim cards, EZlink cards and wateva else they need... Prob til lunch time I guess, since a number of them DO have exams on Monday.... The poor things had to fly over in the middle of their exams, so they are doing papers in between some of the modules for the next week or so... And one of her has a pretty bad cough but still needs to study for her paper on Monday... Do hope she can get enough rest tonight... I prob can only join them for lunch at Clementi after YM tho'

Well... 27 more names to learn and match to faces (doesn't help that there are 2 Emilys) Wld prob have fun with that, tho' I think they wld have more fun trying to remember our names since none of the 9 of us have English names ^^ with mine being a little of a tongue-twister (I mean, even my TEACHERS can pronounce it wrongly, and they are Singaporeans!!!), and I like to sign off us "Juan" which wld be synonomous to "euan" a GUY's name... (yea, most of my netpals think that I am a guy, at least until they realise that I am NOT) Been telling them to call me "Ju-en" or "Jen"...... Here's to fun times ahead, and to a good rest in bed!! 皆さん、おやすみなさい！！またね！！

Oh, as a side note, I managed to get tix for the NDP preview... Now to figure out where Far East Square is, so that I can go collect them... Plus need to know WHEN the preview is.... Only know that it is at the Padang (since this year's NDP wld be at the Padang)

After some shut eye....

Hmmm.... Managed to get *some* sleep after all, but I think I am NOT meant to last multiple nights in SPS.... So much for a full fledged marathon... Guess we wld just finish up by watching segments of the the features discs (as recommended by Ifty), then I can actually get back to my bed tonight! And then I can enjoy my extended vcds at a more leisurely pace ^^ AND I get a chance to actually pack my rm as well... Tho's I prob wld be back on Friday, to *hopefully* settle some UROPS and module stuff, especially since the UNSW students coming for the science summer school programme wld be arriving on Saturday, and the 10 of us wld be meeting them on Monday during the welcome tea =^-^= PLUS, there's the semestral cleaning of SPS rm on Monday as well.... *hefty yawn* Kinda a good thing that I wld be occupied with helping the summer programme, otherwise I *might* feel a tad bit lonely since Nam is gg back to HK tmr, and wld only be back a week later.... Guess I kinda need to start on Minna no Nihongo for Japanese 4 as well, dun wanna be forever getting a B for jap.... Which reminds me, there's still that humongous ambition of mine to translated some of the Kino no Tabi stories into english too... [Not to mention the vectoring and walling I am supposed to be finishing up.... No, I haven't forgotten abt the hikaru no go wall or the inuyasha vector....]

Yes, going home tonight seems more and more appealing with each passing moment *nods head* I definitely DON'T wanna shower in science again... at least not until the upgrading(s) are all done... the shower head was pretty old, and more of getting a jet of water than anything else, but I think the freakiest part was how the noise/sounds from the upgrading that was going on a few rooms away just carried.... Half the time I wasn't sure if the noise was from there or if one of the workers actually came in to use the toilet... Pretty nerve wrecking if you just had a couple hours of sleep somewhere far from your bed, more so due to severe myopia... But that was the nearest shower ard, so.... *shudder* What i wld give for a nice warm shower at the moment....

Present wallpaper: Nice dark wall of Vincent from Final Fantasy - Advent Children that I managed to get off MT ^^ Matches the black of my IBM thinkpad wonderfully! The CGI is done so nicely, but when is squaresoft gonna put us out of agony and release the DVD?!? The release date has already been pushed back a number of times....

Sleepless in NUS....

Well, we started our own private LOTR extended DVD full marathon (meaning we are watching EVERYTHING on the DVDs) Managed to finish all of Fellowship in ard 12 hours, supposed to be catching some winks now.... but I can't seem to fall asleep O_o Crap!! Well, so since I have *kinda* nothing better to do, here I am updating my blog ^^ Still can't believe that I am in sch for something as trivial as being a LOTR geek!! *ROFL* Really wonder if I can survive thru another 20-24 hours of LOTR.... Haha... But the behind-the-scenes peeks and the great scenery really makes it all worthwhile, and just seeing Tolkien's Middle-Earth brought to life is just so nice! *sigh* Wanna retire to Rivendell, and live in Lothlorien...

Finally got down to watching some of the TeniPuri musicals that I got from May Yi, and I think they are really amusing! Dancing, singing and tennis just doesn't go.... Really comical seeing live-action ver of all the Seigaku dudes ^^ Really like how Kaidoh turned out tho'. Pity those I got from her are raws, so I can't make out everything they were singing... Anyway, gonna make another attempt to sleep.... Minna-san, oyasuminasai!

NUS High Camp - mission accomplished!!!

The second camp is now officially done ^^ Yay!! Compared to the P6s, the Sec 2s were much less energetic.... In other words, they didn't drain my "batteries" as badly ^^ Still, having a nice bath at the end of the day feels REAL good!!

[Juan dashes off for dinner at this point....]

Okies... Back from a nice dinner that included chili black pepper fish, and now on to more rambling abt the camp... heehee.... Guess u shld be able to tell that Juan has enough energy to be bouncing ard! Kinda glad that my team *finally* showed SOME enthusiasm at the eco-race of the last station. Tho' that may be partly due to Malcolm actually giving them a time to beat..... Well, since BOTH teams competing actually managed to beat the original best time of 18 min plus, all I can say is "Well done Orange!!" As the Orange mentors were saying, it truly is the "Return of the Jedi"! Great that Orange teams managed to get the best team for 3 stations, compared to the P6 camp where only one girl from Orange got a prize for the DuPont quiz..... It was a busy (and rather draining) week, and I definitely enjoy the rest of my hols ^^ (Just need to get off me bum and go do some active scouting for a UROPS prof....)

Guess the kids weren't the only ones who made new friends. I got to know more NUS pple too! I mean, I already know the SPS ones, but there were also a number of SPS-friends that were helping out. People like Aloysius were doubly great to know. (In his case, he's a nice fella, PLUS he's also a fellow ACSian!!)

Hmmmm..... On to other things.... Yea, CoolBlueX has done the updating at Oujisama.tk, so the anime episode summaries are slowly trudging along.... Gotta start watching those live musicals soon too...At least the TenuPuri stuff are making some headway, not like my Kino no Tabi translations... Translating REALLY is tougher than it looks :(

The AMC website has been moved to Leslie's SCCC hosting space, and well, things are still kinda messy at the moment while sections are being allocated to various pple... Grace and I are kinda the articles pple. I really wonder what I can write abt.... Plus whether my writing skills are really up-to-std.... I mean, other that blog entries (or diary style ramblings) or science-related reports, papers etc., I haven't really been doing anything similar to a proper article writing.... Oh dear, what to do abt this?

Dental appointment tmr... So NOT looking fwd to it..... Never really liked visiting either the doctor's nor the dentist's *hefty sigh*

Click for the rambling...

Guess I owe u guys this......

Yea.... sorry for the "downtime" and the lack of posts... been a little busy, plus internet connection at home is more than a little wonky....

Got back my results a week ago. Good news is that everything is above a C+... the bad news is that there weren't any As either *hefty sigh* Oh well, that's the last sem (I hope!) that I would be taking 6 modules. Back to a normal load of 5 ^^ Aside from Japanese 4, Microbiology and UROPS, I am still short of 2 modules to take... Probably gonna be more LSM modules I guess...

So what has Juan been busy with? No, not with FF7... If I was busy with that, you guys would definitely read more about escapades of how to catch the *stupid* chocobo etc.... Been helping out in the NUS High School camp (that's for this week) and one thing that I have DEFINITELY learnt from this is that Juan is NOT cut out to be a primary school teacher or work in a childcare centre... Batteries don't last long enough... Will be over after this week. Whoppee!! Then I have ard a week free before I need to help with the NUS summer exchange programme for the UNSW pple... Yes, that gives me ard one week to settle my UROPS project.... Guess I hafta select from the list of Bio Sciences projects...

Okie... wanna wrap this up so I can get back to fiddling ard with MSN messenger 7.0... Ciao for now....

Final Fantasy VII

Sorry for the lack of entries recently ^^ Have been having WAY too much fun watching TeniPuri and playing computer games ^^ BTW, the anime summaries on oujisama.tk shld get updated once i manage to pass them to CoolBlueX for UL... One fun game that DEFINITELY deserves a try is Paradoxion, even more so if u like puzzles *nods head* You can get the trial version HERE.

Well, on to another game that has taken me ages to get down to playing... FF7 for the PC ^^ (Yes, juan is slow, but what to do when juan doesn't have a PS2 or much time during the hols?) Really happy that DT could lend me her FF7 (and FF8) games to play!! Heehee.... It DID take me a while to figure out how to use the mousepad on my IBM lappie, plus even more time before I actually got used to what key controlled what... But after that, it's pretty fun ^^ This is SO gonna take up more of my time... there goes the thots of practising Japanese and walling... Oops..... Oh well, it IS the hols, and I kinda want some FF to play while waiting for SquareSoft to actually release the much awaited FF 7: Advent Children DVD ^^ The game would do for now (tho' the graphics aren't quite like the present FF CGs, they are pretty cute) Would probably spend the most of tmr playing FF7, at least til I get stuck at one stage or another.... Tata for now!

Hope to see familiars faces there!!
=================================================

Okie... On to the proper blog entry ^^ I JUST had to put the details up here after getting informed of this! Anyway, silly me just realised that I can actually browse to the original Shonen JUMP mag in Kinokuniya, so I dun really need to depend on fansites to provide low quality photoscans of the latest chapters of stuff like Bleach and Tenipuri!! Down side is that I need to travel down to town, and black fingers due to the newspaper quality toner used in the printing process.... But oh well... Managed to get the VCD of Umizaru *bounces in joy* Now I get to watch it over and over again!! Heehee....

Back after 10 min... Just back from watching the part of the last episode of a chinese variety show, and seeing Mark Lee trying to learn Japanese is simply hilarious!! His intonation is all wrong... Normally the show wld get various celebrities to teach foreigners some chinese, but since this is the last episode, the 2 hosts are required to learn THREE languages (or at least SOME of it), namely Japanese, Thai and Malay ^^ Wanna go watch Bleach 32 now, so また　ね!

INT: BESPIN GANTRY - MOMENTS LATER:

A furious lightsaber duel is underway. DARTH VADER is backing LUKE SKYWALKER towards the end of the gantry. A quick move by Vader, chops off Luke’s hand! It goes spinning off into the ventilation shaft. Luke backs away. He looks around, but realizes there’s nowhere to go but straight down.

Darth Vader: Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father.

Luke Skywalker: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!

DV: No… I am your father!

LS: No, it’s not true! It’s impossible.

DV: Search your feelings… you know it to be true…

LS: NO!

DV: Yes, it is true… and you know what else? You know that brass droid of yours?

LS: Threepio?

DV: Yes… Threepio… I built him… when I was 7 years old…

LS: No…

DV: Seven years old? And what have you done? Look at yourself, no hand, no job, and couldn’t even levitate your own ship out of the swamp…

LS: I destroyed your precious Death Star!

DV: When you were 20! When I was 10, I single-handedly destroyed a Trade Federation Droid Control ship!

LS: Well, it’s not my fault…

DV: Oh, here we go… “Poor me… my father never gave me what I wanted for my birthday… boo hoo, my daddy’s the Dark Lord of the Sith… waahhh wahhh!”

LS: Shut up…

DV: You’re a slacker! By the time I was your age, I had exterminated the Jedi knights!

LS: I used to race my T-16 through Beggar’s Canyon.

DV: Oh, for the love of the Emperor… 10 years old, winner of the Boonta Eve Open… Only human to ever fly a Pod Racer… right here, baby!

{Luke looks down the shaft. Takes a step towards it.}

DV: I was wrong… You’re not my kid… I don’t know whose you are, but you sure ain’t mine…

{Luke takes a step off the platform, hesitates, then plunges down the shaft.}

{Darth Vader looks after him.}

DV: Get a haircut!

Building comp...

Woh~ First time I am helping out in building a comp more or less from scratch ^^ Actually it's one of my frens who is doing it... I am just tagging along, and since it is in a common area, and I am to help with troubleshooting as and when probs crop up... the poor comp is kinda "naked" at the moment with all its components spilt all over the table, plus there is NO power "ON" button!! We turn it on with the mystical power of the FORCE ^^ (FYI, we are Jedi padawans too! heehee...) It is quite fun, and I may wanna build my own desktop at home as well. But that means that I REALLY need to clear up more space on my desk.... ladidadida...

Whew....

After 7.30pm today, my exams would be over ^^ Banzai!! Well, that just leaves me with 2 ISM papers to do by sat... kinda had a breather over the weekend, and that helps ^^ (in spite of the fact that most of my frens seemed to have ended their exams by last wk) Big relieve that my paper are *finally* gonna be over, tho I prob wld have quite a few sleepless nites trying to get out 2 review papers in 4-5 days...

Holidays wld soon be here, meaning time to do walling and vectors, plus time to look for UROPS prof... (oh... plus the neverending task of packing me room!) Started watching the TeniPuri anime, and decided to make episode summaries as I go along. These would be up on Oujisama.tk once CoolBlueX has proofread them for accuracy and degree of spoiler-ness... Prob would do the same for the musicals once I get round to watching them ^^ It has been sometime since I have done any summary writing for either a book or show, do hope those are fine... Kinda makes me feel like a reporter, the way I type them out while watching the anime...

Yep... feels kinda good having an update here after so long ^^ Just need to finish these two review papers... Hang in there Juan!!

26 April: ST2238 Introductory Biostatistics
28 April: SSA2205 Japan & Singapore
29 April: LSM3251 Ecology & Environmental Processes
03 May: GEM2900 Understanding Uncertainty & Statistical Thinking

==========================

Spent the past 2 days spamming BleachPortal.net since the KAA forums seem to have disappeared at the moment, and since i dun use IRC, can't check to find out wat happened... Anyway, I found not 1, not 2 but THREE other fellow singaporeans who are pretty active there too!! 2 of them turn out to live rather close by, and another is my JC junior too!! And I thot Singapore was small.... Guess the online world is even smaller ^^ Heehee... 2 other guys on BP also found out that they are in the small grade in the same school (but unfortunately are in diff classes)

Have also started updating the blog w link buttons instead of the boring text.... But not all of the sites provide buttons to link back, so I guess I gotta make some myself (after the exams)....

Stress Relievers....

Your wise quote is: "Be kind to unkind people,
they probably need it the most" by
Ashleigh Brilliant.
You try to look beyond apperance, try to give
people second chances and are probably very
kind. Understanding is your biggest personality
trait, and thoose you can see through should be
grateful. If they aren't already. You detest
narrow minded people, because they can't see
what's really there. Facades is not your thing
and you strive to always be who you really are.

What wise quote fits you?(pics) UPDATED

========================================================

You are the classic southern belle. You are kind,
proper, responsible, and very adult like. You
attend church every Sunday and you have grace,
poise, and are very dainty. You are mature
beyond your years and prefer gentlemen of well
kept families for your marrying. But don't be
afraid to break loose from your corset strings
once and awhile and just have some fun. You're
only a kid once.

Ants... Antz... And more ants?!?

Spent today in Prof Meier's lab w my eco group attempting to ID the ants we collected from all over NUS... Not much success but at least we now have a list of characteristics to go by when we look at the identification key(s) ^^

Well.... in relation to that, JQ and mom found some insects in the 3rd level bathroom... Their heads kinda look like wat I had been looking at all day, but the body division was quite different from that of an ant.... Nice str antennae, nice big humongous butt, and not as distinct thorax and abdomen regions... Mom got worried about them being TERMITES... Juan goes online to search for termite identification guides, and comes across this site that has a nice large picture of the termite royal couple. The adult male termite on the left looks EXACTLY like the 10 plus insects that we managed to catch (and half squish at the same time), so... Plus, the same site states that termites have relatively straight antennae and thicker waists as compared to ants that have bent (elbow-like) antennae and narrow waists.... Uh oh... Another site says something abt their swarming period being from early Mar til May (tho' since it is a US site, I have no idea if the same can be said of Singapore) Since Juan is NOT an entomologist (neither is she aspiring to be one), she doesn't know wat to make out of this whole thing... Oh well.... Really hope that this is not some termite infestation (an infestation w a whole bunch of NOT worker or soldiers but MALE termites?!?) but just a bunch of stray (and lost!) males....

Culture Presentation.... Comparison of Children Festivals in Japan & Singapore

文化

皆さん、こんにちは。日本とシンガポ－ルの子どもの祭りについてしょうかいします。

まず、日本の子どもの祭りを紹介します。日本には、子どもの祭りが三つあります。第一は七五三、第二はひな祭り、第三は端午の節句（たんごのせっく）です。

七 五三は毎年十一月じゅうごにちです。三歳、五歳、七歳（ななさい）の子どもは両親に神社へ連れて行かれます。昔の子どもは三歳まで名前がありませんでした が、七五三の時、名前をつけてもらいました。今は違いますが、だいたいみんなは七五三の時、子どもと一緒に神社でお祈りをします。

ひ な祭りは毎年三月三日です。女の子の祭りです。ひなは鳥の子という意味です。両親は一週間前、人形を１５出（だ）します。人形は平安時代の着物を着ていま すから、とてもきれいだと思います。実は、ひな祭りは中国からの祭りかもしれません。祭りが終わったら、人形を戻すことは早ければ早いほどいいです。早く 戻せば、早く結婚できると思います。

最 後の祭りは端午の節句（たんごのせっく）です。端午の節句は毎年五月五日（いつか）です。男の子の祭りです。そのとき、こいのぼりをかけます。みんなはこ いのぼりをあげていますから、近所はすばらしくなります。赤いこいはお母さん、黒いこいはお父さん、そして青いこいは息子さんです。1945年から、端午の節句は祭日（さいじつ）になりました。名前も変わりました。今は子供の日と呼びます。

でも、シンガポ－ルは違います。シンガポ－ルの子どもの日は一つだけです。その日は毎年十月一日です。前日（ぜんじつ）、学校でおいわいをします。“おいわい”はcelebrationです。学生はたくさんプレセントをもらいます。英語とか中国語とかマ－レ語とかでいろいろな歌を歌います。皆とても楽しいです。

日本とシンガポ－ルの子どもの祭りの違うことがあります。まず、日本の子どもの祭りのおいわいに、だいたい両親が手伝ってあげます。でも、シンガポ－ルには学校の先生が手伝ってあげます。そして、日本のおいわいはもっとtraditionalです。日本の祭りの時、皆着物をきます。でも、シンガポ－ルには普通の服をきます。

日本でもいい、シンガポ－ルでもいい、子どもの祭りの意味は同じです。皆は子どもの幸せ（しあわせ）は大切だと思います。子ども達は国の未来（みらい）ですから、子ども達の幸せと私の幸せは同じ思います。

What's Your Element?

Your Element Is Air

You dislike conflict, and you've been able to rise above the angst of the world. And when things don't go your way, you know they'll blow over quickly. Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life. You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful. You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person. With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that!

iTunes....

Juan has finally gotten down to trying out iTunes ^^ The party shuffle option is perfect for me!! Beats selecting folders and songs in winamp then enabling the "shuffle" fn.... iTunes does the shuffling for me, and even includes the number of times I play each song, plus their ratings too!! Really shld have tried it out sooner.... Though iTunes doesn't have the flexibility of changing skins and stuff, nor the transparency selector that FooBar has.... Still, need to go figure out how I wanna org my playlists there... Plus it is really useful it I ever get an iPod ^^

To those who are interested to go try iTunes (it's free, ya noe) out too, the link is provided below....

What color are you?

Take the quiz: "What color are you?"

White
Your color is white.... The purest of all, you live to serve, and make others happy... You never anger, always understand, and always do what is right... You are almost angelic... You are trustworthy and friendly....

====================================================
Yea.... Juan is having fun doing silly quizzes again (How on earth is that color above white?!? Ain't it more like OFF-white?!?) It's a great way to de-stress ya know!!

Anyway, it seems that Juan keeps on finding more and more friends with blogs, and the sidebar keeps getting longer and longer.... Oh well... Think that calls for a massive organising of the blog pretty soon (ok, maybe NOT so soon but after the exams... during the hols... Juan seems to keep on saying this, doesn't she?)

Ranting Time!!!!

くそ。。。2.5 weeks left of lessons... reading week then it's the exams.... Aargh!! Feel so messed up....

1) Marine eco report dued this friday, and I STILL dunno how to go about doing it. Hopefully discussing it with Nalini and Desmond later would shed some light.... Plus there is still the 2nd part of the stream eco to do in the lab, with the report dued who-knows-when! And the data is with Martyn (I think)
2) Have culture presentation for TC nxt week, draft dued on Mon...
3) GEM2900 project dued nxt Thu, need to type out my part and email to the rest of the group
4) Body temp regulation assignment dued sometime nxt week...
5) Eco proj... Prob need to do it this wkend (do hope that Leonard can get hold of his car)... The report is like dued just before reading wk (I think) Plus there is still the counting and identification of the ants....
6) Worst news I just got is that that the dued dates for my ISM papers and presentations got moved fwd by nearly a week. This means that I have like ard a week to get them done once my exams end.... Slightly less than a week to get not 1 but 2 pseudo-71 papers out... So much for relaxing for a day before "pia-ing" again...
7) Plus there is the thing abt starting revision (and preparations of help sheets) early....

Stupid me pressed the backward button on lappie just now, so I had to re-type in like most of this entry all over again... Feel like such an idiot... The slightly better side of things is that Air has sorta ended and Tactics shld end by nxt week (and froth-bite is lagging on their releases), so I have much less anime to keep an eye out for... LOL, Tsubasa is gonna start airing real soon tho' but think I shld have enough "holding area" on my lappie for them til after the exams.... So much for Rachel's observation that I look pretty relax... Guess my daily face is just to expressionless most of the time, plus I do try NOT to think too much abt all of this.... Just had to let all of that out... Feel much better now ^^
