Everybody's fool
Over the past few days, it has been common for me to sleep real late since I sat on a report due at work and found myself stretched towards the end. Lucky for me, I had my fellow GA, Mr Yew Poo, working on it with me.
To put a few things in perspective. While academics are tough, it is relative. You come out to the working world, the stakes are higher. And there are a lot more dimensions/variables and perespectives that one needs to account for.
An interesing term that I picked up is "The Single Version Of the Truth"(SVOT). I picked up a couple more - "Business As Usual"(BAU). And on the slightly amusing side - CYA - i.e. Cover-Your-Ass.
Apart from that, I have sorta started on a few small initiatives; volunteering, growing my nails (OK - so maybe this is not really an "initiative"), sleeping more - apparently it helps performance (DO NOT LAUGH - there is a case study done by Harvard and this is not a figment of my imagination), play less Playstation/Xbox (did not touch for almost a month before playing on it continously for 8 hours - yes, Top Spin rocks :D) and well, the list sorta goes on.
I got my iPod replaced and finally uploaded the almost perfect songlist - and uploaded my photos on it too. Do not think there will be major revisions to my songist since Singapore is clamping down on pirated music - so my "sources" will be lying low. I have got quite a few old songs on like 20 different CDs and I am feeling lazy to go and pick up my fav's from that - such a tedious bloody procedure.
Joined for a free trail on www.hollywoodclicks.com. Allows you to try for 14 days where movies .are delivered to your doorstep. a.k.a Netflix/Blockbuster in the US.
Nothing else to really talk about - cricket is fun to watch. Lanka is in with a real chance so that is exciting - just need to knock out South Africa to make it through to the semi's for sure - else, it might just be elimination or a dog-fight.
So now, I am looking for new content for iPod - videos and interesting podcasts and maybe some interesting ringtones/themes to jazz up the K700i. It is not the latest phone but it can still hold it's own since it is a pretty popular phone :)
Sleepy too - stayed up the whole night. Yawnz.
Oh - if you have the time, check out Promiscuous Girl and London Bridge. Between the two videos, I learnt two things - the meaning of promiscuous and that the dudes who guard the buckingham palace can really shake their booty.
On a final note, and some advice, do not try to help someone un-invited. It has already backfired on me. Do not help unless asked to since otherwise you are equally unwelcome. This is really as a note to myself!
Cheers!
