15 Feb 2002 was a special day coz it was the same day of the month, week (Friday), sixty years ago that singapore fall into the hands of the japanese. I remember learning from history txtbk that it was also CNY that year. it was a horrifying memory for most of our old folks. I m mentioning it here coz the siren went off for appr. 30secs in ntu on Friday evening.. and it could be heard islandwide as a commemoration of that faithful day. let us take 10secs of silence in memory of those who fell for the nation....


God bless them n their family...

bits from sch....

have you ever sat in a lect in which the people besides you talk thru out the lect? in ntu, ce lect, the one i attend, there r quite a few of these people ard. in particular, the indians from india. i'm not being racist when i single them out coz its a phenomenon here and gets on my nerve alot. they talk loudly in the speed of bullet, as if the rest of the pple r wear headphones and can only hear what the lecturer is saying. they also call out to each other sitting rows across. they rock their legs in a way you feel their wonderful sense of rhythm on the back of ur seat. they stretch their hands out to the back in a way that they can tickle your knees. perhaps next time one indian from india decides to sit beside me and engage in an amusing conversation w his friend during lect, i'll stuck my mechanical pencil down his throat. =) hopethat he gets my point.

students aint the only weird pple ard. my maths lecturer (dressed in shirt n tie) laid flat on the table this morning while waiting for students to come in. he later said that he had a tired weekend. i thot he wanted to get our attention coz pple dun stop talking, or mabe he just wanted to get into the top-10 most interesting lecturer inntu?

pieces from outside..

a lil' boy who sat beside me puke all over the seat on the train. i din realise the mess he made till i saw pple staring at his direction and there was a strange stench in the air. (i had my earplugs-style-phones on and was engrossed in studying my notes mah). of coz the first thing that came to my mind was whether i kena his puke or not. lol. okok, try not to imagine that, i know its gross. but then i started thinking how the boy feel. the poor thing must have eaten too much cny goodies and got train-sick. i bet he was feeling really embarassed. (its like stan from southpark puking whenever he see the girl he likes) well, the commendable thing is that his parents were what i consider as considerate singaporeans. they din just walk away from the mess. they helped the boy changed his clothes, use tissuepuked. lol.

you know how it is always very difficult to get buy things which you are looking for, and that they are usually available almost everywhere? i firmly believe its true. my friend told me that giordano sells cheap ankle socks, so i decided to check out the shop at northpoint. it was 1130 this morning and the store was still closed. strange isnt it? so i thot perhaps i can get it at the stall in jurong point. the shop at jp was under renovation! i ended up getting my socks at BATA. $5.99 for two pairs. cheap sia. =p
