I presume this post will be even longer than that of yesterday.

Just spent an hour watching National Geographic. There was this ShowReal Asia, and the country featured was Japan. To my surprise, the show was about the Kumo Gasen in Kajiki, a small agricultural area countryside near the Kyushu regions of the land of the rising sun. As a arachnophobiac, every scene and sequence sent chills down my spine, as for your information, the whole show was about spiders. Kumo Gasen literally means Battle of the Spiders. Well, not any spiders, but the giant golden-orb spiders in Kajiki. As kids, our parents might have indulged in spider wrestling during their childhood years, but as Singapore became more urbanized, the hobby came to a halt, as kids nowadays show more fascination with technology and gadgets such as mobile phones and mp3 players. These spiders actually have another alias known as the samurai spiders, for it was believed that this sport was passed down by the ancient samurais, which was a practice to raise the morals and spirits of the warriors on the night prior to the battle. An interesting fact, the golden-orb weaver lays a astounding amount of 14,000 eggs, all of which will hatch into tiny golden-orb weavers, who will then colonalize throughout the small countryside of Kajiki, or even as far away as Tokyo.

Compared to yesterday, today was even SHITTIER (is dere such a word?) during school hours. Went to prepare for POE presentation @ the library. Waiting time for the lifts was greatly increased due to the blood donation that's going on on Level 9 of the library. Started coughing badly all of a sudden in the library, bad omen. After printing out the transparencies, there was only ample time left to prepare my note cards. The POE presentation was a fluke! We overshot the clock by 5 minutes. The lecturer was questionable and doubtful about our working capital and return on equity. The good news was we would be able to rectify such errors when we submit our type-written project report.

Felt really hungry after the presentation, so went to unload stuff at lounge and headed straight to Mensa2. Wasn't feeling well already, so decided to have egg salad instead of the usual fried western food. Hunger pangs were neutralized, but my condition remained bad the same. Got back to the exco office and took a short nap there. That was when Alvin Ting, Ah Tan, Ah Guang and Denise went into the room to chill. I also got up as my set alarm sounded. It was time for me to revise for the IB test paper. Head wasn't thinking well, and brain cells were malfunctioning (guess must be the f*ckin p*nis brain that I hav). Couldn't absorb what I was reading at all.

Was feeling damn hungry before the paper, so went to Bizpark and grabbed a sandwich. Saw Wesley at the bizpark, only to find out later that jy was there too. Think my eyes were playing tricks on me bah (huh, f*ckin a**hole eyes?!) Saw Ah Guang, Andrew and Yee Ping, found out that they were heading for town. I asked if I could join them after the paper and they were ok with it.

Interesting bits about the test: 10 minutes reading time, so cannot start writing before 10 minutes is up. When the clock struck the end of the 10th minute, people started writing, the invigilator asked "why are you writing?" ROFLMAO !!!~

Joined Ah Guang and company @ Shawhouse after my paper. The group of us included guang, drew, yp, ryan and denise. Spent too much time eating and chit-chatting, so in the end many of the shops were closed. Our final stop was Topman at Wisma, when the girls bought some tops and skirts. We took NEL home together, but I was the first to alight at my stop.

Thanks for the great company guys! Ah Guang, please please please create a blogskin for me okiezz??

Perhaps I mistook someone else for u @ the library while waiting for the lift. Not sure if it was u, so didn't say hi. Wished I wasn't rushing for time, so that I could hav spend that few more seconds with u.
