patriotism
i realised i like to do things late. Take, for example, this post. It's on yesterday.
Probably because i was stone drunk yesterday.. oh well.
9 August, National day. Really?
Either many Singaporeans have a tremendous urge to celebrate National Day overseas.. Or..
or..
i don't know.. I can't think of any other reason why the Causeway would be jammed from morning til afternoon...

waste time or time will waste you
yup
which was why i decided to waste time. By attempting to "play lan" as people affectionately refer to it as. Attempting, because i am new to it, and because i suck.
BEFORE anyone start to get any funny ideas..
lan is LAN. which is Local Area Network. I bet most of us know. But it society isn't always about the majority.. the minorities can be such a pain...
I mean : We have to respect them.
Well, okay. Back to the point. Waste time. Why did i have time to waste?
National Day's eve. We had, uhh.. wanted, to celebrate. Which we did, appropriately, by whipping out almost brand new cards (mine) which were Red and White (national colours, patriotic bunch of guys huh?) on the back. And having a few good rounds of Bridge
Right in front of the CCTV.
Smart dude. Wayy smart.
Back to lan. Got pwned around 10 times. Probably more. I lost count after 1000. Man.. waste of my 6 bucks. I wonder how some people can spend more than a day non-stop on these games. Oh, wait, they actually do win..
Watching others getting their asses shot off, broken down and blah at darel's house after that was more interesting...
Sadistic? c'mon.. it ain't even real

rray's back
yyup!! after 3 days of attachment to IMCB. rray is back.. not knowing much new though..
bahh, should have paid more attention.
But, it wasn't a waste of time. Not a complete one anyway.. rray invented co-operarive pipetting with Ms Lab Partner. And a few ways to spoil a latex glove, like poking, tearing.. oh, you mean they were already discovered? Man...
Someone recently said this, some Arthur from some Hong Kong company, :
"Sea cargo is a necessity, air cargo is a luxury- without shipping, half the world would freeze, half would starve and the rest would both starve and freeze"
As a student who takes mathematics.. i can't let this injustice to basic counting just slip by..
Lets tear this statement down shall we?
In basic maths terms..
let x= number of people who would freeze only,
y= number of people who would starve only,
z= number of people who would both freeze and starve
Right, so basically, what this guy is saying is that
half the world (x+z) would freeze
half the would (y+z) would starve without shipping
AND x+y+z = people of the world (~6.6 billion).
wait
shouldn't the world have people numbering (x+z) + (y+z) = x+y+2z?
Where the hell did that z number of people go to??!! Another dimension? In the stomach of a whale (probably not big enough..)
I know!! They have vanished into the very depths of his ignorance. Oh heck, what am i saying?
when would idiopathies ever end?
well, all that maths was just a random thought...
