The Birthday celebrations continue

(Writing for March 11)

Question: You can't have too much of a good thing, can you?

Thesis: I disagree to a large extent.


Though the day was supposed to be good, I woke up on Tuesday feeling down coz I had to rush to Dunman to help wash and pack up those equipment. So yeah, wash, wash and wash. Colin remarked that he didn't like washing the mess tin which Kek used to whip up his half-mashed fried potato. LOL, I would have been quite willing to wash it, coz I enjoyed every cubic millimeter of it.

Then it was time for Math lecture. I actually like P and C, which is obviously way better than stuff like Vectors and Complex Numbers. I really don't like Math that deals with the abstract, which happens to fit with my personality type.

The gang (minus Ruijie, who's enjoying himself in Hong Kong, pfft, and Peiyu, who had to finish her Econs essay, and Vina and Wynne of Year 5 some place else) decided to cancel that reservation at Settlers' Cafe and opted to celebrated the birthdays of the threesome (Vina, Wynne and I) at Vivo instead.

Binghuan, the only other guy in the group ("imba (sex) ratio", as declared by the schemer) told me that he originally wanted to join ODAC. Oh great, now you tell me. But really I have to thank him for joining TKD instead; my social life is much more interesting now.

For lunch, we dined at Terra on the 2nd floor. I was treated to the meal, minus the drink. Unsurprisingly, I chose the baked potato. (The theme of my birthday this year is really revolving around this tuberous veg.) At this point of time, I was presented my presents, magnetic earrings. Awww.

After that it was a rush to enter the cinema to watch There Will Be Blood. Critically acclaimed, but I wasn't that impressed by the plot. I'm glad that stupid religious fanatic Eli was killed; apparently religion has hardly astounded me. Final rating: 5.8/10

After a trip to Page One, I boarded the train to City Hall with Wynne. She was telling me about this Dunman senior in some university who discovered a new species of......



moss! Wow, what a great time he's gonna spend examining it for the rest of his life. We both agreed that it would be much more interesting if he had discovered a new species of moth instead.

Walked to Seah St to collect my $50 medical claim, that I zipped over to Bugis to get on the train home. Gosh, I must be a real lucky guy to celebrate his birthday with friends for 3 days in a row. Somehow it is resembling CNY or Christmas, no?

In the evening, I received a message from Yu Ting saying that the damned CSC talk on Friday was cancelled. Hallelujah! Chatted with Xue Ling about it excitedly over MSN. Now if only the same would happen for future talks.
