Two-year old from China lights up a cigarette and smokes it with ease. An extreme example of horrible parenting.

I was talking to my friend during dinner, after skate training today.

Me : So when did you start smoking?
Friend : 8.
Me : What the...? How?
Friend : Haha. The teacher in school said that smoking was bad. And my dad smokes.
Me : Ok.
Friend : So I went home and tried a cigarette.
Me : I see. How did it taste like?
Friend : Very bad. But I didn't understand why my dad enjoyed it even though the taste was horrible.
Me : Did you stop?
Friend : No, I smoked some more to find out why. And it became a habit.

I attended a classmate's Dad's funeral today.

It was disheartening to know that his life was probably taken away by a crook. That crook preyed on an innocent and righteous man, but did not have the compassion to spare his life.

I hope the authorities find this guy and hang him. This damned soul will never go to heaven, but rather, left to suffer together with other murderers-alike in hell.

Let's not ask more about the situation, but if you have condolences to offer, please leave them in the comment box.

Delivered WD-40 : Changing Product Perceptions presentation during MKTG2000 Consumer Behaviour tutorial.

Thank you Cherylynn, Hazel and Kenneth for being such great team members, working hard together to deliver this presentation.

I'll also like to thank my dear classmates for being not only attentive, but very supportive as well during the presentation!

RatheRandom.

Jhene has launched an online store, RatheRandom, selling female apparels. Go check it out!

I woke up this morning with a very runny nose. I sneezed all over my dogs, which hopped onto my bed to greet me. My head felt heavy and I sneezed at every step of the way from my bedroom to the kitchen. I had a bad cough, presumably from smoking so much in the past few days.

I had a hot bowl of noodles and the symptoms disappeared shortly after.

I don't have swine flu.

I won't be quarantined.

Which means that I still have upcoming tests and project deadlines to meet.

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa.

It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration and tuning before filming this video. It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.

Received lots of phone calls from foreign students last week.

Me : Hello?
Caller : Hi, are you renting out the master bedroom?
Me : Huh?
Caller : Renting master bedroom?
Me : No. You got the wrong number.
Caller : How come?
Me : Where did you get my number from?
Caller : Flyer. MDIS canteen.

Feeling a burnout from all that studying.

Relaxing is not an option right now because there are so many tests (worth a lot of marks) and a presentation coming up within the next few weeks.

Looking forward to the class barbecue coming up during the term break (even though it's only 2 days for us).

MKTG2000 Lecture 120609 : Domo-kun with friends.

Jessie's 24th birthday entry is finally up! A staggering 635 photos (1.76 GB) for the two nights, which took me ages to upload.

Enjoy!

Called up LTA to check on the status of my bus lane violation appeal. The phone operator congratulated me on a successful appeal and advised me to wait for an official letter.

Otherwise, I would be $130 poorer.

Watched Surreal (Pang, Mizie, Kingston and Daniel) perform at Fad Studio @ Bussorah Street.

Had dinner with the rest of the guys before heading down to East Coast with Elgene, because the rest of them were heading to KTV pubs which we weren't really into.

Settled down at The Villa Bistro @ Big Splash.
