Diverting from studying right now... too much chemistry can make you turn into a nutcase. Anyways, i was watching the special segment of the taiwanese news channel yesterday night. the 2300 news dedicates 5 minutes of its slot to showcasing the lives of needy children in taiwan. (they even have a short clip of jay chou singing 'snail')
Yesterday's segment was about this family that was so poor half the house didnt have a roof and the family had no electricity. the parents (as with quite alot of poor families) seem to have mental disabilities. the kids, however, were very lively and bright. the oldest one, a girl of about 7 years of age proudly showed the reporter her new clothes. (donated by charities in her area)
At one point, the girl told the reporter that she loved to study and feels that attending school wasnt enough. She wanted tuition as well because she so loved to learn. To that, the reporter asked, 'But does your family have the money for you to attend tuition.' The girl paused for a second, as if that thought never occurred to her, and replied, with the innocence of a child - 'No.' And then the segment ended.
I dont know about the rest of the people who watched the news last night, but i thought it was extremely blunt and unfeeling for the reporter to ask for such an obvious answer. With that one question she forced to little girl to give up her dreams of pursuing further education just because she was poor. With just one question she thwarted the dreams and hopes of the young girl. What a repulsive reporter.

how on EARTH do you make sense out of Aufbau's rule?? How do you arrange those hokey electrons into their stupid quantum shells (Sharp, Principle, Diffused, F, no less) isnt 2,8,7 enough?? why why why do you require 2S1, 2S2, 2P4 whatever?? i dont see the pattern! will someone please help help help me!!
i cannot BELIEVE this. both mom and bro actually enjoyed The Hulk, green, haichi-maichi and all... not to mention the dopey purple loincloth. its such an incredibly gay movie!! well, my mom enjoyed the scenery (she loved it when the green thing leapt from valley to valley). argh. lets just say that i have zero appreciation for ang lee movies. Hero was so much better than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
I really really wanna watch Finding Nemo tho!!!!
argh.. midyears' only a week away! and i've not started on biology and chemistry. i'm so dead. yikes. gotta start mugging now!

pulled an all-nighter on tuesday at the class chalet, and have yet to fully recover. ugh. no way i'm doing that again! it took me about 15 times to make up my mind, and actually, i'm glad i stayed on. there was some alcohol, but it was all good, cuz no one overdid it. i hate the way i turn bright red when i drink. i'm allergic to something in BOOZ too - just like the last time i had red wine. apparently, its cuz of the histamines and tannins that 'naturally occur' (to quote from some website) nothing happened when i had VK, but BOOZ.. sigh. i'm not doing that again - rash sucks big time! @@
anyho, i'm addicted to bridge! its so so fun! anyone wanna meet up for bridge some time? hehe. we played water volleyball too, but we couldnt catch the beachball half the time, cuz running in the water is just so so slow. zz had to swim clear out to retrieve the ball, thanx to the wind - not funny. kinda dangerous actually. last time cz kayaked around the beach, there were jellyfishes all around the kayak. ew.
some people wanted to play with sparklers but forgot to bring the box out to the beach, so that was that. and others wanted to watch the sun rise, but opps, we were in the west =) still others (some overlapping) went to watch Ju-On and got mighty freaked out. no horror movies for me!

aight. time to do cut and paste for xanga.
i'm recently beginning to loathe orchestra rehearsals. i've not been attending the past 5 rehearsals, due to myself having extra lessons in school. i dont feel like attending those rehearsals anymore anyhow. cuz they're not doing anything new, and i really really need to study for block test. argh. can't wait for finals to be over!

my xanga site is ruby. all ruby, with white fonts. i think i still prefer blogger though xanga is so much more userfriendly. blogger's more.. direct. =D plus i like seeing my entry appear in a box with plenty of room!
in a bid to attract tourists to thailand, the government has decided to offer a US$100,000 compensation for the deceased should the unfortunate person pass away from SARS within 30 days of his/her visit to thailand. the government also offers up to US$10,000 to cover hospitalization costs.
gosh i am so tempted to set foot in thailand, and contact SARS. and if luck be on my side, die on the 29th day of my departure.

looking at things from a different perspective
What is the body but a temporary portal through which all of us pass? This provisional agreement, this vessel, this semblance of being; it is nothing short of a corporeal lie. I woke up this morning to this compactly-built vessel - the little mannequin with the unwashed hair pretending to be me. I waved my left hand and my host twitched hers at me. We all are machinery operators: push red button for pleasure, blue button to move left foot over puddle, 911 for ambulance, put right shift on joystick for instant sexual gratification.
There will come a time when your contract is up, and you, the parasitic undersigned, will have to shift out of your host quarters and find yourself another loving host off which to scrounge, and I trust you woul've studied the fine print thoroughly by which.

i was supposed to be good and return home real early to catch up on some homework. but obviously that didnt happen, cuz mich and i decided not to go for the kickboxing class. instead, jy and i made a quickie call to s for dinner in town. we had pasta and pizza for dinner, and got jacked by the cashier. she was supposed to give us a 30% discount, but didnt. the ass. anyho.
had dinner with jy, s and g. hecka good. s finished off half a bottle of parmesan cheese -> the owner's gonna freak! heh. had pearl tea afterwards and cafe-hopped from the toast store to the gelare place for 'freshly baked waffle'. its waffle day today, so all waffles were at half price ;)
felt kinda tipsy after the bubble tea, though it wasnt alcoholic. too much fun, i think =) s and i got all silly at the waffle counter, and couldn't stand up straight cuz we're laughing so hard. it was insane. i went, 'w..... wahhhhffle', and s couldnt stop laughing. gosh we almost died at the counter from all that.
jy, s and i sat at the booth for like half an hour, and s decided to have another major waffle. we played 'mystery number', 'truth or truth' and 'tarot postcards', played around with the thermometers too. =) honestly, we looked like we're seriously drunk the entire time we were at the booth. woah, we were on natural high!
there was this nerdy guy across at long johns though, who spent half an hour licking his ice cream spoon, looking at us all the while in a particularly repulsive manner. by that i mean that he was repulsive. he looked seriously sex-craved. ugh. and the moment we stood up to go, he stood up too and dashed away.
eww.
