Per Ardua Ad Astra

Okay, I should be sleeping or trying to read up some more on C, or at least do Tutorial 2 for the Mechanics and Waves module.

Oh well, I’m blogging so I should tell you interested readers what happened in the first week? Problem is I don’t know where to start from. The week is basically one long series of lectures, tutorials, preparing for presentation, talks (if I counted correctly, there’s the one by a Harvard graduate about media and politics, entrepreneurship talk, World Bank talk, Singapore Paranomal Investigators with another half a dozen more ‘engagements’ planned for the coming 2 weeks), more talk registrations, walk walk walk and travel travel travel plus naps (no sleeping anymore, just napping every now and then whenever opportunity presents itself). Yeah, that about sums it all. And oh yes, I still remember the weird game of upmanship with Jiayi trying to bitch who’s got the heavier schedule before going for MSL Fri night supper. I think, that shows how hectic and lifeless life is in these parts for some of us.

Fibula came down here to ‘tour’, and I was happy to be able to help him and his family find their way around. It cut into my schedule by quite a bit, but nevertheless it’s a chance to explore the S’pore outside the campus before it gets even worse. The tutorials can wait. Apparently, Bran and I gotten him really infected by LOTRmania and it induced him to get a One Ring of his own. Now, if I have one, and he’s got one which One Ring is going to rule them all? Power sharing? lol! Heh, at least I still hold bragging rights! That is, until he decides to go and get an Evenstar to complete the set and force a draw.

Wilson started his blog, and I discovered ng’s one. That makes 29 blog links on the sidebar here. I haven’t been actively reading all the blogs lately (from the dozen or so I check daily, it’s now down to about 2-3), so I’m getting waaaay behind schedule.

S’pore is freaking hot, or at least my room is! My lights give off heat, my PC gives off heat and I give off heat! Couple that with the fact that my room’s isolated from the wind currents, it’s basically a makeshift sauna! I would have moved to the ESP Computing Lab with a nice conference table and air-con to enjoy at night (we have access to it 24/7) if it wasn’t for the small problem that PGP is in the SE of NUS and the lab is in NW! Plus, as a fellow coursemate noted, it’s freak night if you dare use the Lab at night since the entire floor’s closed for construction except for that tiny portion. Also, you might just run the risk of bumping into ESP couples rendezvousing there (don’t think there’s any yet, but you never know). In short, I’m not desperate enough yet.
