Monaco 2011

Back in Brunei, and the highlight of my day was definitely being able to watch the Monaco Grand Prix on television.

Oh man oh man oh man. Going to get it all out of my system before the excitement runs out.

Brilliant race, yeah. It's awesome how people are always like, "Oh you can't overtake in Monaco", and then during the race some epic overtaking happens. Such a pity the race had to be stopped near the end 'cause of Petrov's bad crash (alongside Alguersuari's), 'cause I have a feeling Alonso would've been able to take on Vettel and gone on to win the race for Ferrari.

But yeah, overall I'm quite satisfied with how the race turned out (except the part where Massa accidentally crashes out after Hamilton sort of runs into him for a while). Vettel (yet another victory), Alonso (yay), and Button (I can't believe I've forgotten how great he looks) on the podium.

And now that I've finally gotten to watch a 2011 race live on television, I've noticed that some things just never change.

Hamilton's still driving his "pretty-much-an-asshole" driving style, poor Massa's still as "emotional South American" as I remember, and I still feel pangs of sadness when I realised "RAI" isn't anywhere on the list.

Honestly though, Alonso truly does have the makings of a World Champion, unlike certain drivers *cough Hamilton cough*. I'm really glad he's on Ferrari's side.

Thrill of watching F1 is back. Hoping this (and the Montreal GP) will sustain me for as long as possible and keep the love alive whenever I'm checking out live timings.

Okay, I'm like, worn from a day of traveling and visiting and waking up early, and I don't want to like, die of exhaustion, so good night.

P.S. Yes, I am, in fact, back in Brunei. Hooray for that.

Like a boss.

Oh no, it's been two weeks since exams have ended, and I'm still two weeks behind the Shaytards vlogs. In fact, it's gotten worse now that I'm hardly around to sit and stare at my computer screen for hours on end nowadays.

Spent all day with TDTC yesterday, scripting and filming bits and pieces and sort of sorting out our props.

Then had an hour of school today, followed by this briefing thing, and then went out with Jean, Jon Koo, Kelvin, Wei Ren and Shuen for pool.

Met Isaac at Tiong Bahru and watched Kung Fu Panda 2 afterwards. I don't know why people have been calling it awesome, because it just added to my disappointment. Long story short, I fell asleep.

Oh I feel so bad for that, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as I'd have liked to. Perhaps it's just me though. Who knows. Maybe I was just tired.

I should honestly stop procrastinating, but there's just something about packing that's so horribly unappealing. Messes have to be cleared up eventually, and my side of the room is just one huge mess of papers and wires and my cupboard is a huge mess of clothing. And also 'cause I'm the most indecisive person ever, I hate having to decide what to bring back and what to leave here. I'm hopeless, aren't I?

The plan for tomorrow is to wake up early for the second session of boarding open house, and then pack in the afternoon, and then wake up early on Sunday to head to the airport. Sounds feasible to me.

All right, better be off now. Need energy to survive a packing spree tomorrow.

Night.

P.S. Why oh why am I never around for class outings? That just blows, man.

P.P.S. Forgotten how awesome Oasis sounds. One of the first bands I ever truly loved.

Fear.

Listening to a bit of Lifehouse at the moment, and waiting for the season finale of Glee to load.

Well yeah, at least they remembered they had nationals to go to. Honestly though, where is that feeling of continuity it gave us early in season 1? Now it's all jumbled up into a mess of incoherent randomness that's probably only pieced together by the fact that they're still played by the same actors. I miss the times when Glee actually made sense.

Had career talks today. It's probably set everyone on the path of "oh my goodness what am I going to do in the future" if they haven't already started. It's a difficult question, unless you're definitely sure of what you want to do. Not many people are.

I don't know what I want to do in the future. There, I've said it. I know what I want to become, but I don't know how to get there, and if I do, whether I want to do what it takes to get there.

What do I do?

To be honest with you, I'm afraid. We only get one shot at this, and I don't want to screw it up. I don't want to be living my life full of regrets with a job I don't like, wishing I could've chosen something else (or at least done something about it). I can't do this. I wish it wasn't my choice to make. That way it wouldn't be my fault if things went wrong, and I wouldn't need to place the blame upon myself.

I don't trust me, you see.

Oh the possibilities stretch out before us. I'm just too much of a coward to go any further, because the past is safe.

Disliking the weather right now, 'cause it's hot and humid and I'm sweating although I'm carrying out minimal movement. Oh it's horrible.

Okay, going off now.

Adieu.

P.S. The time has come where we need to pack again. Whoops. Better get started.

Staying Alive.

It's late, but I'm still waiting for the shower. I wonder why some people take such a long time to shower. I mean, what else is there to do? Shampoo, soap, scrub, rinse. Like, come on.

Finally uploaded the (long overdue) vlog, and here it is.

So had this "Aesthetic Appreciation" trip today to the Chinese Opera Institute, where we had only an hour to learn stuff concerning the art of Chinese opera.

Personally, I thought we could've spent more time there, and it would've been way, way, awesomer if they'd actually organised for us to watch a performance instead of plunge right into singing and techniques and stuff. Some people (like the Indians and the Vietnamese) have absolutely no idea what Chinese opera is, and end up even more confused by the end of the programme.

Ah, confusing stuff.

But yeah, heritage. Should I feel ashamed that I understand minimal Mandarin and I don't bother learning anymore because people think I talk funny?

All kinds of art should be appreciated, yes. I love the amount of effort and time these people put into their performances, and how they take pride in their art. It's awesome.

Sure, some people might say we should move onto the future and not cling desperately to the past, but these things have been passed on for generations, and provide a deep, meaningful link between our ancestors and ourselves. Should we really let it go just like that? I don't want it to be that way.

Went out to watch POTC4 again (at Vivo, again), with Wei Ren, Wai Yin and MJ. Well yeah, I enjoyed it last time, and it was tempting, and they sort of half-dragged me, so I guess it was worth watching a second time. Oh, and for Johnny Depp, too.

Watching movies a second time allows you to pay more attention to detail, 'cause you already know what's going to happen. Makes you appreciate the work they put in more.

Then met up with Bruneians and ate at Seoul Garden Hot Pot to sort of celebrate Syaf's birthday. And then we went back, did crazy things and had cake.

Career Day tomorrow, so should be attending talks and like, stuff.

Going off now.

Night.

P.S. Grades leaked for a moment this morning, sparking a frantic whipping out of iPhones, iPod Touchs, iPads, smartphones, and other electronic devices that can access the Internet. It's funny how I try not to care but still do, anyway.

Ego.

Finally editing the "Wardah's birthday at USS" vlog right now, after like, full six days.

Oh this is late. Don't like uploading vlogs late because it confuses people when I upload them, but I include the date in my videos I export, so it's no problem there.

Anyway, waiting for it to export and listening to OneRepublic right now.

Post-exam activities have begun, and today we did some sort of public speaking workshop.

It's the usual, really. Body language, and intonation, and tips here and there.

You see, there is a purpose to knowing this stuff. It's not just for the sake of public speaking, but for socialising as well. There's a whole tonne mankind has achieved by being articulate and by being able to express themselves clearly to get messages and emotions through. Words and actions can drive people, and although it's true that words are nothing without actions, they are pretty powerful things.

Ultimately, you don't lose out in knowing how to present yourself right.

Funny how the guy told us to record us presenting in order to provide feedback to ourselves, and then went on to say how most people hate watching themselves on video or hearing their own voices played back to them.

Yeah, I used to be like that, when I first discovered video playback (a long, long time ago). And then after a while, I just sort of got used to hearing the sound of my own voice, and watching myself talk, and now I've become so narcissistic I actually enjoy watching myself on camera.

Yes, I do love the sound of my own voice. There, I said it.

TalentSearch Finals 2011 was interesting, because, well, I don't know what's good anymore. Judgement is strange, I believe. I'm left a confused soul.

Okay, going off now. Field trip tomorrow (somewhat).

Night.

P.S. I'm insecure. Must pull myself together. I am awesome.

Angry Birds.

Mixed feelings at the moment. Mostly disappointed 'cause of the disappointing race Ferrari ran today at Di Catalunya, then I'm happy 'cause Emily won Boarding Talentsearch 2011, and I'm also kinda excited because I've managed to find interesting tabs and have nailed a few things.

Will talk about those after I unnecessarily take you through my day.

Went out with Hafiy, Fatinn and Fatin to the area around Orchard, and bought some stuff for home.

Cousin's wife's Macbook Pro (I'm waiting for them to release Lion before I get mine), and Angry Birds plushies (thanks to Wai Yin who's nice enough to buy them for me before they run out of stock), amongst other things.

Also realised I can't buy girl clothing, and thankfully had help from Fatinn and Fatin. Boy clothing is so easy to buy; shirt and pants and you're done. Simple.

But oh no, girl clothing is like, wow. So many styles and colours and types and it confuses me. I just can't do it, can I?

Missed most of the race 'cause I was at Boarding TS, supporting Emily. It's great to dedicate a bit of time to music and performing once in a while. Watching other people just motivates you to do better, strive to go further, and up the level.

It sucks to be left behind, yeah. So it's good to want to advance yourself once in a while.

Race was disappointing, everyone up to fifth place got lapped, Vettel won (congratulations though), and I couldn't watch it anyway.

Oh depressing thoughts.

Never mind, I'll be back soon.

Okay, school tomorrow, better sleep a tad earlier.

Night.

P.S. We concluded today that the white Angry Bird is most disliked (because it's always the one leftover when all the other birds run out of stock). And The Oatmeal says so too.

On Stranger Tides.

Listening to part of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl' soundtrack at the moment, because even hours from watching 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides', I still can't stop thinking about pirates and epicness and Captain Jack Sparrow (and Johnny Depp, of course).

Yeah, went to watch this afternoon for our cluster outing at Vivo.

It definitely wasn't as great as the prior three movies, but honestly speaking, I don't think POTC 4 was ever in danger of sinking into a horrible mess of failed sequels because they have Johnny Depp there.

Thought the mermaids a bit creepy (albeit quite pretty, yes), the Spaniards really robotic and Penelope Cruz's accent unnerving. But I definitely enjoyed it, and it was definitely worth watching.

There's just this thing about pirates and their lifestyles and the way they talk and carry themselves that amazes me. Why don't we talk like that anymore? That would be fun.

I find it interesting that I like to delve deep into the heart of fantasy and fiction. I think it's because I'm sort of addicted to immersing myself and getting away from the real world. Yeah, stories interest me. Alternative worlds and parallel universes intrigue me. So many possibilities to explore.

Anyway, back to reality.

Sort of helped out for our hostel open house today, 'cause I had nothing better to do, and I kinda wanted to see what they'd tell parents (out of curiosity). Ended up telling parents stuff myself, 'cause Woan Chyi and I got assigned to do this tour thing.

It's funny how I try to make some joke and all the parents just stare at me funny. I think it's my sense of humour, but I'm unsure. Maybe I should just stop trying to be funny altogether. But I can't stand it when things get all serious and "business-like". Come on, man, let me have my bit of fun.

Okay, better be off now.

Adieu.

P.S. Looks like the Rapture's behind schedule again. Oh well.

P.P.S. Going to edit long overdue vlog tomorrow morning, I swear it.

P.P.P.S. Looks like our shameless advertising is working. Saw people today and they totally made video references. Good for them.

Nerd-dom.

Waiting for our new YouTube video to process, so I'm here and going to talk about life.

It's seems as if I only come here when I'm waiting for things nowadays, and not just for the sake of talking about random things that come to mind. But yeah, that's what it's been like lately; waiting, waiting, and more waiting. And while you wait, you should do something productive. That's the way to go.

But I digress.

Our video has been long overdue, 'cause Wee Thean keeps cutting his hair whenever we're free enough to film, and there are these things called work and projects and reports that sort of get in the way. But as we all know, exams have been over for a week, and yes, we have gotten our filming, editing, and fine-tuning down and we're back in action (and will hopefully stop people from asking when we're going to stop procrastinating and actually upload things).

So yeah, I'm really glad we're finally doing things again (I think I might've said this before, but it's worth repeating 'cause it's important enough).

Last day of script-checking today. Did okay, I suppose. I mean, sometimes it's good to keep expectations low, so you'll never be disappointed.

Fingers crossed for my GPA to not drop. Oh don't drop. Anything but deprove. Makes me feel bad about myself.

Went out afterwards with Wai Yin, Jia Wei and Kelvin to Marina Square to meet up with Ahmad, Jon Koo and Wei Ren. Played pool and bowled.

Realised I can still play pool like a boss (albeit a tad rusty), but suck at bowling. So so much.

I don't know why. I had an epic streak of gutter balls. Made my wrist feel as if my hand was going to fall off. I don't know why. Maybe I'm just paranoid, or a complete loser, but I really don't know why.

Walked around with Wai Yin and Ahmad afterwards, 'cause Wei Ren and Jon went to Wei Ren's house to play Portal 2, Kelvin went off to meet church friends and Jia Wei went home.

Tried to look for Angry Birds plushies for my brother, but ended up deciding I wanted to either get a huge one or a few small ones (for throwing purposes).

Then got distracted by epic nerd-dom. Oh yes I'm a nerd. I know that.

Okay, video is up (here). Going to switch back to wifi to post this soon.

Adieu.

P.S. Caught a baby lizard today. Oh so oh so adorable. We let it go though.

P.P.S. Bio Interest Group? Really? Wow. In some ways it's kinda cool, but in other ways just really, really, nerdy.

Que será será.

Back from script-checking, and I'm typing this post out before Wei Ren gets back from his class barbecue and I have to pass him my laptop for editing. Hopefully we'll be able to get the video up by tomorrow (latest by night-time).

Waiting for Glee to load now. It's funny how we look forward to watching things like this. Yeah, others' lives are entertaining because they offer us a glimpse of what could be if we weren't already like this. And life is too short to live only once (I don't think that made sense).

Spent all day yesterday pseudo-dying, so all I did was lie in bed and read 'Royal Assassin' then became okay. Feel really bad for missing the cycling thing, though.

Script-checking, script-checking. I've stopped dreading it. I mean, yeah, although there's still this feeling of concern over my results, I've just stopped going "Oh my God results are coming out I'm going to die help me" and instead am going "Well, yeah, fingers crossed we pass, or something".

It's fun to keep expectations ridiculously low because then you'll be satisfied with your marks most of the time.

Did okay for Math (considering it's Math and it's me), ridiculously okay for English (I've been failing and this just made me feel good about myself), am really satisfied with Chem and did all right for Physics (which I am going to drop next year, end of story). Oh, and passed Malay (the entire class is around the same level of crappiness, except perhaps Faiz, who's pro).

It's all Bio and Humanities tomorrow, and hopefully (with some luck) I won't do that badly, because I have faith in my Bio and Humanities.

But yeah, whatever happens happens and we have to learn to accept whatever happens with awesomeness and good grace and awesomeness. Loads of awesomeness.

So like a boss, I'm now signing out.

Like a boss.

Adieu.

P.S. Why oh why doesn't Glee make sense anymore? It should start making sense again. And then we'd fall in love with the show all over again.

Universal Studios Singapore

Hello world.

Went to Universal Studios Singapore today, with a bunch of Bruneians (Wardah, Fatinn, Fatin, Hafiy, for Wardah's birthday. Oh Wardah, happy birthday.

Not going to give details because I have a bunch of footage that will eventually turn into another vlog nobody will watch, but then again hardly anyone will read this either, so no difference, really.

Had awesome fun though, despite me being scared sh*tless by roller coaster rides (yes, I'll admit I'm a complete scaredy-cat and I'm totally ashamed of myself) and other things (wow I am such a failure, aren't I?). I think I've kind of established the idea (to myself, of course) that I do not particularly enjoy theme parks/amusement parks because I'm a complete chicken and because I can't stand the artificiality for a prolonged period of time.

There's a certain smell they have there that makes me uncomfortable. Too much plastic and props, I think.

And the commercialism. Oh the commercialism. I totally admire these people for being able to coax you into buying things and unnecessarily spending more money with really, really enticing products. It's funny how it sucks to be on the receiving end though.

Or maybe that's because I'm cheap. I'm unsure. I confuse me most of the time.

Happiest moment? When they played a snippet of 'Welcome To The Black Parade' before this show we were watching, and I could've died of happiness because you rarely hear people play MCR in public anymore. It's always these generic pop songs.

I love rock. Yes, yes I do. I've never thought any genre better. It's like rock has always been and will always be the one for me. It's anchored to my soul and I know it'll always be there for me when I need reminding of how good music can sound sometimes. Number one genre, yeah.

It's beautiful. I don't know how some people don't see it.

All right, I'm feeling ridiculously tired right now.

Night.

P.S. You know, when people ask me why I listen to "old people music", I don't really mind anymore. It's where (most of) the good stuff is.

Nick Pitera.

Uploading vlog now, so I'm here to talk about how everything seems to be looking up.

The weather is awesome, exams are over, the weather is awesome, and exams are over. Oh, and the weather is awesome.

It feels so good now that it's stopped being so absurdly hot. Rained in the morning and kinda almost froze in The Coffee Bean ('cause Wai Yin and I thought a bit of coffee would wake us up long enough to study for Econs).

So yeah, Econs was all right. It was interesting 'cause the questions were totally related to stuff I'm familiar with: the airline industry and Apple. Yeah, I go on flights quite often, and well, I own Apple products. Oh, and our Econs project was on budget airlines, how could I forget.

Went out to K Box with Wai Yin, Jia Wei and Zhang Rui afterwards. It doesn't hurt to go out with new people, because if you don't make the effort to get to know people, you wouldn't know what awesomeness you'd be missing out on. People are fun to be with, generally.

Throat feels kind of scratchy now though.

Watching this reminds me of the magical feeling Disney gives you, and that point in time when Yos was sort of obsessed with Nick Pitera. Yes, Nick Pitera is amazing. I love how he loves Disney and how he can make his voice sound so delicate and lovely, simply lovely.

Oh talent.

Night.

P.S. Hooray to a week of nothingness.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World.

Connected to LAN last night in order to read Scott Pilgrim online, and couldn't get back onto wifi because it was a substantially long period of time after midnight then, so couldn't post the post I so effortfully typed out (and couldn't save it either, hence heartbreak the next morning when I found out).

Anything to remember yesterday by would be the filming with TDTC, and the video(s) that'll happen sooner or later (hopefully sooner, but I'm still waiting for some details to be finalised and for Wei Ren to "OCD edit").

Ridiculously idle day today. Basically just sat around munching cereal, editing one of our vids, watching the Shaytards vlogs (I'm still a week behind, just so you know), reading Scott Pilgrim and watching Scott Pilgrim (the movie).

It's basically been a very Scott Pilgrim-y day, really.

Oh man, I love Scott Pilgrim. I love that wacky, makes-no-sense-but-has-completely-acceptable-logic world and it's awesome characters and it's strange eccentricities. Yeah I do in fact very much wish our world could be like that, but nope, no can do. Oh well, we can dream.

Favourite character? Definitely Wallace Wells. Oh how could it not be Wallace Wells?

I mean, he totally knows what he's doing, he's got a grip on his life, Scott probably wouldn't have been able to survive this long without him, and he gets all the guys (yes, he's gay, which makes me like him more).

The movie was great, too. A bit compressed (as compared to the comics), but they managed to pick out all the best jokes and get fun actors.

Good job, Bryan Lee O'Malley. Awesome awesomeness.

All right, sleeping earlier tonight.

Adieu.

P.S. So that's one thing on my checklist I can check off: Finish reading Scott Pilgrim (check).

Thor.

I'm still not done reading Scott Pilgrim, nor up to the second chapter of 'Royal Assassin' (by Robin Hobb), nor learnt any new songs, nor have I caught up with all the television shows I've been wanting to watch (How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, The Black Adder), nor have I finished that portrait of Christian Bale as Batman I started before the exams started.

I think I need to start doing one thing at a time, I think. It's like my mind is all divided and my attention is a splattered mess across my desk and laptop screen.

Oh horribleness.

Well, aside from not really accomplishing what I'd have liked to accomplish so far, I saw 'Thor' today at Vivo with Wee Thean and Colin.

It wasn't exceedingly brilliant or anything and thought it could've been better executed in some ways, but I enjoyed it all the same. It's fun to give yourself up to the Marvel Universe (in big picture form) from time to time.

There was one scene I particularly thought was awkward, and it's the one where the Warriors Three and Sif fight that creature that looked like a thing from Transformers, but with a furnace for a head. Honestly, come on, it was just plain weird.

And I wish they'd given Thor more time to develop himself on Earth and stuff, 'cause it seemed strangely abrupt to me in the movie.

But yeah apart from that, it wasn't bad at all, no. I absolutely loved Tom Hiddleston as Loki (especially his eyebrows. Have you seen his eyebrows? I love how they're always so animated). Good acting there, yeah.

Oh, and I think I might want to get myself a pair of glasses (or two). Constant eyestrain is taking a toll on me, I think. It's come to a point where I'd rather appear nerdier than I already am (nerdy exterior to compliment nerdy interior) than have to decide which eye to use. Oh sad life.

All right, going off now.

Night.

P.S. This is hilarious, but it makes me sad because it shows how hopeless we are. Stupid humans.

Hot chick.

How strange is it that I posted yesterday but it's completely disappeared? Oh so strange.

But yeah, just in case I ever forget, it was about how exams are over (for now) and how the weather's improving. Vlog is here.

Anyway, onto today.

Listening to The Script now, because I heard them in a bookstore and had to get my hands on a few more of their songs the moment I got back. (Also, I didn't buy anything in said bookstore, which is like a major achievement for me.) They're great and their songs tell stories and I like that. Danny O'Donoghue is a great lyricist.

Watched 'Fast Five' with Fatinn, Fatin, Syaf and Emily, and yeah it was quite good. It's funny how Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson had this thing with wearing shirts that looked like they were about to burst at the seams due to the amount of bulging muscle (especially Dwayne Johnson, man).

Gal Gadot is amazingly hot, and it makes me proud that amongst all the guys in the movie, she gets together with the Asian dude. Oh yeah, I feel proud. It's like they're trying to tell people that Asians can pick up chicks too, and that we're not all nerdy losers who talk about math and science all the time (cough I wonder who cough).

Got back after the movie, and I honestly don't know where my evening went. It was like, get back, sit down in front of laptop, boomz it's already midnight. Like dude, where did all my time go?

Scary thoughts.

Okay, I'm going off now. Want to start on books.

Night.

P.S. Yeah, I know I'm a total nerd and I'm proud of that.

P.P.S. Today's vlog.

Pseudo-over.

Oh hello blogosphere, what's been up?

I'll tell you what's been up. Exams, the weather, and more exams. But exams are pseudo-over (for this sem, that is) because our Econs paper tomorrow doesn't count because only minimal studying is required (very much unlike the hell almost everything else gives you).

So yes, exams. I don't like to talk about them because talking about them reminds me of how I should've been able to manage my time better to achieve even more ownage results. And sometimes it reminds me of how stupid I actually am and me telling myself I understand is all an illusion.

There's also this brief moment of contrition (which never lasts until the next round of exams, unfortunately).

So yeah, the weather's been absolutely horrible for the past few days. Sometimes when I say "horrible", I refer to extreme humidity which annoys me to no end, but this "horrible" refers to extreme humidity stretching over a period of many, many hours up till now, combined with ridiculously high temperatures. Reached a peak of 36ºC and it's been maintaining.

I can't stand it at all.

Okay, going off to watch the latest episode of Glee now.

Adieu.

P.S. There's so much stuff I want to do now exams are going to be over in a few hours I don't know what to do first. How awesome is that?

Istanbul 2011

Nothing much to talk about apart from F1 at the moment, 'cause the weekend's been uneventful with revision (sort of).

Vettel's managed to maintain his ridiculously epic 3-wins-in-4-races lead, and speaking of leading, led 56/58 laps this race. We know he's an extremely talented driver, and now he's got a great car and rubbing it in all our faces.

Congratulations to Red Bull on another one-two though. They've got good pace and they know it.

Alonso finished third. First podium of the season for Ferrari. Definitely an accomplishment, and without doubt our car has improved over the break. Too bad Massa couldn't finish in the points (he was eleventh), but in some strange way I feel sort of relieved that it was due to little mistakes and not to our car being not up to pace and being overtaken helplessly. I hate that feeling when either Massa or Alonso get overtaken and the commentators proceed to talk about Ferrari's lack of pace.

Renault are faring pretty well so far. They seem to be finishing in the points all the time.

Bad race for Hamilton and he ended up fourth (which is still quite good, in comparison to what Ferrari have been scoring so far). Rosberg finished fifth. Schumi got into quite a lot of action and it breaks my heart to not be able to see all that supposedly awesome overtaking live on television.

Feel better by telling myself I'll be able to watch the Monaco and Montreal Grand Prix when I go back home in June though. There's a certain thrill in watching the race in non-number and word form completely with video and audio without having to bear with a three-minute lag in updates.

And since my Java died, live timings haven't been what they used to be, either.

Oh sad life.

When Stanley and Josh Sia tell me about how awesome a race was and what sweet overtaking moves took place, I feel grateful for the F1 talk but kinda want to tear my hair out in frustration, too.

What to do.

All right, better be off now. Productivity awaits.

P.S. There's this thing about spicy food that makes it so good yet so painful to eat at the same time. I don't have that tolerance.

Feel-good sketch.

Okay, fast two-minute post, 'cause yeah, exams are still here, and if I hung around here any longer I'd have to talk about it, 'cause it's always on my mind, and that's what's been going on for the past few days or so.

So yeah, here's a filler sketch of Spiderman I decided to ink over, for the fun of it. Copied off Google images onto my Bio D lecture 1 (yeah, I did get somewhat distracted).

Yeah, it's nice to have something quiet to do. Kinda helps clear your thoughts and takes your mind off more stressful things.

Patience is a virtue, yes.

Okay, going off now.

Adieu.

P.S. It's so hot right now, I turn the shower heater off and the water comes out warm. Oh that's horrible.
