Monday, November 19, 2007:temasek seminar
ok. after a relatively long hiatus, i have decided to blog. there are many things on my mind that i really like to blog about and so i hope that i will be able to list everything down.

the weather is turning cold and winter has officially started. i can stand the cold but i cant stand the wind. the wind is really a pain in the ass. hahah and not to mention the weather in London is not exactly that fantastic. the only thing that i like about the cold is everynight when i cuddle myself under my thick thick duvet and sleep. hahaha really warm and comfortable.

jevon came over for the weekend and he stayed over at my place. i was quite excited cos this is the 1st time ever since i came to London last year that we meet up in Europe. haha. well, DSTA sponsored him money to come to London for the talk organised by PSC. the talk was by singaporeans and for singaporeans to update us about the landscape in singapore. well, the crux of it is that the fertilty rate in Singapore is mediocre and hence we should do something about it. i think the underline meaning of it is also to remind the singaporeans of their roots and to go back to Singapore after our studies or a few years of working experience here. i really like the opinions given by Mr (or Dr?) Lim Siong Guan , chairman of EDB. he is really frank and outright about the policies and way Singapore does things. of course he was so frank about the whole thing that i dun think i can blog about what he said during the talk.

which reminds me. i was helping out this korean friend of mine, Handoo at the library. then we were talking for awhile. i was stunned when he asked me this question

" i heard that there is dictatorship in singapore and singapore is owned by this family. is it true?"

stunned. shocked. loss of words for a few moments. whoever has been feeding the foreigners such distorted facts should be shot. how can we feed others the wrong information? haizz...

i have forgotten where i have heard this joke from. but it is about chemists, physicists and mathematicians.


once, there was this 3-storey house and it was owned by a chemist, physicist and the mathematician. Each stays on different storey. one day, a fire broke out. the chemist woke up, saw the fire, took the fire extinguisher and sprayed the contents in excess. the physicist woke up, sat down at the table and calculated the angle and the force applied to the fire extinguisher so as to maximise the effort of putting out the fire. he got the results, and put out the fire, proud of himself and went back to sleep. the mathematician woke up, saw the fire, then the fire extinguisher, told himself that there is a solution to the problem and went back to sleep.

hahaha... make fun of mathematicians. sighz... hahaha.

anyways, i realised some stuff about myself. lets talk about food. i realise that i am quite resistant to changes. i can go to the same eatery and order the same dishes all the time once i find them nice. take for example, ben's cookies. there are so many flavours and types which i have not tried before. but if i were to choose just one, there is a very high chance that i will choose the triple chocolate one. is this called 专一? ahahha.. i dont know either. maybe like what daryl said, that means i am not very good with goodbyes.

another thing about me is that i like to use my heart more than my head. of cos not in times of tests and exams lah, if not i will surely die one. hahaha. for instance, i see this thing that it is really really nice. it is white in colour. i like it alot. i know it can be/will get dirty in the end but i will still buy it and own it in the end. most of the time it cannot even be considered a struggle. hahaha... i just buy it. heeez.

hahaah these sound really random but at least these are really some of my thoughts.
