9 hours of sleep in 3 days... seriously, there are new things that i wanna try but this is definitely not one of them... luckily it's study break week; i can afford to stay home and sleep the morning away (like now) to make up to the bed-deprived me... just hope that i would not overdo it; cuz i gotta study for next week's papers.

yesterday... we had a blasting Creative Thinking presentation... exceeded my expectations... Singlish was a hit, and our actors and actresses were the biggest hit =) i dare not post photos here though; might be against people's ethics and taste hahaha... to my CT groupmates (though you don't know my blog): i didn't think i would have such a good time with you =) sometimes i'm glad to be wrong hahaha. we totally rock =)

BGS presentation rehearsal followed up right after lunch... had to keep me going with Cascada's Every Time We Touch (Weizhong says it's Ah Beng lol) and Eminem and Akon's Smack That... we might need to meet tomorrow... i so wanna stay home and study... okay i wanna go to school for lunch first...

F4, or FRAB (Felicia's newest F4 identity) had dinner at Cathay's Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe (i still think the food isn't cool; the service improved this time though). it was fun nevertheless; i mean, company matters more =) we trooped off to TCC for a drink; and i said to the waitor, "my drink's gonna be a bit girlie; could i have mango tea freeze please?" hahaha the gang seemed amused at that...

the music @ TCC was ... soothing ... loving ... embracing the souls ... we talked all about it... there're songs that bring you to a place... there're songs that make you think of a someone... there're songs that make you wanna dance... and there're songs that touch you till you cry... we left when the music stopped... 11:05pm...

surprisingly i could still stay up till 3am last night (or this morning). was excited that the guys managed to install Age of Empires III for me =) and i downloaded the childhood game of Super Mario too =) i brushed through 10 pages of Mathe lecture 1. 10.5 more to go.

oh i have a new tuition assignment... JC2 economics... the parent wanted to talk to me cuz i'm not a local and she was concerned her son might not understand my english... anyway, hope i do good here... i love JC economics, the kind of brainless yet logical deductions and interpretations and predictions...

yesterday... Vietnam's Teachers' Day... i emailed Ms My and Ms Doan Anh... they're the ones who helped me the most as i was leaving for Singapore 5 years ago... there're many more that i wanna thank, like my primary school form teachers, my english tuition teacher... but i don't know their mails =(

Vietnam's APEC 2006... there's this blog that's been going round and round about how messed up, unacceptable, unethical, unhygenic APEC logistics were... just that nobody seems to think for the people at the top who spent endless hours preparing for this... nobody seems to give any credits to whatever success of APEC logistics... just a two cent worth, if things were difficult for people on the ground, it could be just as difficult, or even more, for people at the top... sometimes even beyond their control and against their will...

it's cool people are talking about it... so people like me know the other side of the coin... but it's also cool not only to criticise ceaselessly but also acknowledge the efforts of the good work, the other side of the coin...
