i feel so blessed!

when u are down n out, who's with u?

thanx to wenshan... for giving me courage to put a closure to THAT. u'll definitely make a very good social worker! we must've shocked e'one walking past the engine's mac's on that day.

thanx to weiting, mavis and candice.. for all the physical help rendered, but most importantly the moral support in the darkest hr. u gals have NO IDEA how MUCH it meant to me.

(altho' mavis teo, i went up to the same level again for the next two days n i still dun see any cute guys ar'd. trust me. if i haven't seen any for the past two yrs, there mustn't be any.)

thanx to xiuying.. for all the nice kuehs n further moral support n great chit chats in the middle of the night.

i tell u, all the rest of the pple are so damn envious that i've such a great support rally ar'd me. -beams-

and thanx to u too lynnkoh.. i got the card on the night of my crit n i cant tell u how much i miss u too!

uplifted. buoyant. i feel ready to take on the world once again!

so many things happened while we were stuck in our dark and dry dungeons. ordinary pple passed away in earthquakes. great men passed away too. first was kenzo tange, then the pope.

many pple are saddened by the pope's death. i am too. i dun think that it is inappropriate to feel sad/ need to mourn for his death just bcoz one is not a catholic. we're mourning for a great man. n anyone who has someone who's close to u passed away, whether u've actually seen it or not.. it isn't pleasant.

and this topic led us to another. let's just call the man his initials, OBL. OBL has a great knowledge of (esp) sustainability which shud cause our envy. however, OBL is one person who makes his students of not-his-religion feel uncomfortable. in fact, OBL resembles the other famous OBL (osama bin laden) so much, from their initials right down to the "natural vegetation" on their faces. while the other is an allah terrorist, our OBL is a banana terrorist who works for the X.

after hearing certain stories abt OBL on sat, esp from his last and last last sem students,i felt pretty disgusted. names and exact events shall not be mentioned for i am aware that there are arky pple reading this. but for once, i do hope that MM lee will get a whiff of this (shud be pretty easy, since his granddaughter is in arky ark also) n kick him back to his c-ang-moh-bridge. holleeble! how can lydat. university lecherer is religion-intolerant.*gasp* and sum moore, despise his own chinese roots (refuses to celebrate mooncake festival?? aiyoh, even our tutor who is deutsch is totally bought into our celebrations n brought chinesisch moonkuchen for us leh). hua2 ren2 bu4 jiang3 hua2 yu3. all the effort into the "speak mandarin campaign" for wat. no wonder cannot be like a-lan go to china to fa1 zhan3. stuck in the rut of -i din't say this- singapore.

and how inappropriate it is to email students, "dun call me at night becoz my wife n i may be making out on the couch". the way we see it, it is really reverse psychology. u noe like, the more pple are deprived of one thing, the more they imagined themselves to have/do it.

ok. getting bitchy. time to stop.

disclaimer: it isn't that the author is intolerant of OBL's religion. just that she suddenly r'bers "regardless of race, language or religion". alr'd there are pple saying, "i feel like i'm judged in my work due to my religion (or the lack of)", we shud always highlight potential extremists who may break our social fabric to the gahment. one of our 5 defences, isn't it??

during one of our boring time in the dark and dry dungeon, we started to ask how many kids each person wud like to have. unsurprisingly, the guys want more than the girls.

the hypothesis: how many u desire is influenced by how many siblings u have.

the conclusion: possibly. even if let's say u were born in a siblinghood of two, u look at other pple with a siblinghood of three n u think it just might be better.

but then again, i say that it has to do with life experiences more than a simple "how many other siblings do u have". so my hypothesis is more consistent with the conclusion. generally, those with a happy family desire more. those born with not-so-happy family desire less. generally only.

hmm.

ahh.. tired. continue next time.
