do you ever get the feeling every now and then that you're wasting your time doing something very pointless? haha! nevermind.
my mattress has yet to arrive. tomorrow they say.
spent one whole day trying to figure out what modules to take next semester. and right now, i havent the slightest clue what that might be. i only know that i will be taking group theory and graph theory II for sure. other potions include advanced coding theory, graduate algebra 1, algebraic topology, computational mathematics, logic and foundations of mathematics. it's not like i have a wealth of suitable options. more like choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea. hoinam thinks i'm going to die this semester. probably not physically i hope by mentally and emotionally. haha. tkm thinks that i should be able to handle 5 since i could handle 7. we'll see at the end of the day.
i wonder if i should really invest in korean. or perhaps i should just go alliance francaise and brush up french. i guess french would be the more logical option, if not for the part where it actually costs significantly more to continue french than to learn korean. but why learn a language when you have no chance to practise it in singapore? i mean you spend 5 years learning and then 1 year down the road of not using it, and almost half of it is gone. maybe i should try and find a penpal. haha some french person who wants to learn english. he'll write in english and i'll write in french (or korean for that matter). i wonder if there's like some site online that allocates penpals to people who register. haha! ooh there are tons! but that's kind of freaky if you ask me. hmmm i wonder if people still do the snail mail penpal letter sending and stuff. i know my sister still sends lots of snail mails to her friend in the states. in fact she's now over there visiting her now. but i really dont know of anyone with and actualy snail mail penpal. actually if you think about it, the concept of a penpal really does seem quite alluring (if you get a suitable pal that is). i mean you get to learn about a new culture, sometimes a new language. you get a certain form of companionship, sort of like a living diary who you can write about almost anything without fear of any direct repercussions because 1) the person is on the other side of the world and 2) the pal is not a friend in the traditional sense of the word. and because of the slow nature of snail mail, you probably will never ever see your pal in real life. ok maybe just once. but i guess with the advent of technology. with internet and emails and chat rooms, quickly wiping out the charm of the painfully slow process of sending and recieving envelopes and parcels, it sometimes is difficult to see past the torturing inefficiency of postage.
anyway, my room looks alot better now. almost ready to face the battle for the next half a year. all i need now is a new super firm support pillow. wow gosh i sound like an old person. back pain. neck pain. arm pain. foot pain. aiyoh. i cant imagine what i'll be like in just 10 years time.
macau open next week. too bad no telecast here.
haha anyway the lake house starring sandra bullock and keanu reeves opens next week. another one of those soapy love stories i think. but it's sandra bullock so i think i'll probably catch it. any takers? haha?
oops... elizabeth and yongquan are online now. time to send them half my tutorials. haha and half of terence's. haha!
