brrrr

im freezing my legs off in gsr 2.16 waiting for my lessons to start. YAWNS. it's been a busy yet unproductive week. and yesterday i discovered that we've got stats hw due next week! i think im the last person to find out.

the thing about sess gsrs, is that the walls are not sound proof. or rather, they're practically porous! i can totally hear what's going on next door.. but at least they are playing corrinne may :) :) :) that makes a slightly happier morning.

need to find black pen. patron's day saw me losing my entire pencil case :( my markers! my pens! my pencil! :( can't do AS hw with no black pen. sigh.

what a day.

it was a rather grouchy day to begin with, with the SMU undergrad office pissing me off. it's really irresponsible of them. seriously. and it's rather painful to my ego, and makes me feel taken for granted.

but let's count the blessings for today :)
1. a good twc meeting, with the whole ppt out. though am feeling unsettled cos it's gonna be boring.
2. finally played badminton. sadly with 3 pros, making me feel very noobish.
3. climbed up the rockwall! :) albeit the easiest route hehs. but sense of achievement ok! i still cannot and will never do bouldering haha.
4. a good bgs meeting. very animated members and i like lively meetings! hope the energy remains uppp.
5. I GOT THE GYM JOB. omgs, seriously im overly shocked. because i think i had the most pathetic application :) hees.

so all in all, a good day :)

question

Protagoras taught rhetoric and argumentation, which in ancient Greece comprised the education of a lawyer. Euathlus wished to learn these arts and asked Protagoras to teach him. He said he could not pay right away but promised to pay in full after he won his first case. Protagoras agreed, and taught Euathlus rhetoric and argumentation. Some accounts say Protagoras sued Euathlus for payment immediately upon the completion of the lessons; other accounts say he waited until it was evident that Euathlus was not taking on any cases. The case was heard in the court of Areopagus in Athens.

The judge asked Protagoras why he thought he had a claim against Euathlus. Protagoras argued, "I will either win this case or lose it. If I win it, then Euathlus must pay me, by the judgment of the court. If I lose it, then he must pay me, under our contract. So he must pay me either way."

The judge was impressed, and asked Euathlus to reply. Euathlus had learned his lessons well, and replied, "I too will either win this case or lose it. If I win it, then I need not pay Protagoras, by the judgment of the court. If I lose it, then I need not pay him, under our contract. So I need not pay him either way."

What would you decide if you are the judge?

ho-hum.

i guess it was a pretty fruitful day yesterday :)

need lotsa prayers this weekend. plenty plenty.

:(

today is officially, the worst day of this year :(

3 seconds of fame.

so i appeared on teevee for the 3rd time in my life. how, pivotal HAHA. at least this wasnt some cheesy commercial like the other two.

have i mentioned that the first time i appeared on teevee (very much by accident) was with fel, when they caught a shot of us walking at bishan interchange in sec1. we were innocently heading towards moelc for french lessons, when we saw a camera nearby. i stupidly pointed at it asking fel if it was some sort of survey thing to record human traffic at bishan interchange. oh gosh.

anyway, it was commercial for a chinese programme whose topic of that week was - QING CHUN DOU! i can sense mocking. okay i WAS very pimply but i didnt know it was enough for an ad on pimples. everyone in sch kept telling us both about how they saw us on teevee but i never ever caught that commercial (though fel did).

the 2nd commercial was of course, the MOE one. of vjchoir haha singing at the "choir olympics in bremen" when we were actually doing the photoshoot and filming in our very own pt. ooo, we even have our faces on a paper bag. i rem how jiax and i were so excited when we saw ppl carrying the paper bags at the career exhibition. then we went to the MOE booth to trick the people into giving us the bags, by pretending to be very interested in being teachers.

haha this things are so funny when you think back. and yeah, i never saw the MOE commercial either.

oh. and for records, i didnt catch the recent one on CNA either. but SMU daily alerts is very efficient. got video. i cringed watching myself stammer and fidget.

so much for the 3 seconds of fame! HAHA.

fast away the old year passes!

fa la la la la, la la la la!
hail the new, ye lads and lasses!
fa la la la la, la la la la!

we spent the most of the new year so far squashed at the back of alden's van. haha but it was quite fun :) watched the fireworks, moped about the noisy beach and now i am homeeee! why didnt anyone do that '5 4 3 2 1 YAY!' thing before the fireworks appeared? BUMMER.

now, since i was touched by ralph's blog post (haha), i shall do a what i have done the past year thingamajig too.

haha this list is by no means exhaustive. and it was indeed a pretty rocky yet fulfilling year. in a strange sort of way. and im really looking forward to this new year ahead :) esp the summer break, haha. well, people talk abt new year resolutions and i do have a few :) but that shall be kept to myself aight?

thank God for staying by my side the whole year :) and i know He will be there, in the many many many years to come :)
