Hrm... guess I can say it's been an ok week... School started... and I went to my SS (Singapore Studies) lecture without any notes, feeling totally unprepared... and guess what? The lecturer put up the lecture slides like 2 hours before the lecture... when I was leaving for school!! Argh!! Luckily he said that it really wasn't needed... In the end, I was scribbling down notes cos he was reading from something and it wasn't on the slides... Nation Building is kinda interesting I guess... hehe... I just hope I can do well in it...

I also decided to take my yr 2 stats... ST2238, this sem... partly cos I didn't have anything else to take, not enough points in my General account after spending 519 on the SS... and also cos I realised that quite a lot of yr 1s were taking it too... I went for the lecture on Wed morning, and found that the lecturer was a Singaporean (Yes!!) Hee... and he kinda made the lecture quite entertaining... so that's always good... so far, the lectures are actually understandable... hehe...

I went for my first lab this week too!! Quite fun... extracting genomic DNA from bacteria cells... the DNA appears as some gluey strands... interesting lab... and coincidentally... in the lecture after that, from the other module, the lecturer also talked about DNA... and he gave us dried DNA samples!! Hee... looks like the rubber pieces after you're done erasing... feels like tissue paper though... I took it home with me... hee.. It's sitting on my table now... in a tube... Hee...

I had a 6 hour break on Thurs... after my Jap Studies lecture, I went down to Orchard with Val... We went to catch the movie Meet the Fockers... It's actually quite farney... some parts at least... hee... esp, the one where the toddler says "Ass... hOOle..." hee...

Friday was a slack day, cos there was no lab... ONLY a 6 - 8pm lecture to make up for one during the CNY... urgh... but I accompanied Val to her 10am Psych lecture... cos I wanted to take Pyshc... bid too high... but the guy quite interesting... always got video clips to show... a good lesson learnt that morning... always check the textbook prices with the Co-op before buying 2nd hand books... hee...

She was starting work that day, so I sent her there, and managed to get back to school for the lecture just in time... hee... the lecture was ok... the company was better... hee... need to revise mol. genetics...

I accompanied Val home from work today too... cos I got tired of staying cooped up at home... poor girl ends work so late... we managed to catch the last train home... a lot of other people were taking that train home too... heh... I walked her home... then took a cab back... the driver quite poor thing... old man... still have to work so late... then he's a really careful driver... start off quite slow... I really felt an urge to tell him, "Uncle, you rest in the cab first... I drive myself home." Hee... really... pity him... he say he so old still have to work... then sometimes cannot remember the route liao...

Hope the government will really be increasing the retirement age... :)

On a lighter note... here's some jokes...
