i cant do my updates fast enough as my time swift by. *groans*

worked at comex '08 for 2.5days selling Toshiba laptops. I must say this new series of lappies seem to be one of good specs and affordable price. Comex was 4 days and i only went down on the 2nd, 3rd half, and 4th day. Nice of boss to allow such arrangements. haha. This was also the 1st time i worked at comex without any usual khakis with me. However, the pple this time round was also fun and cool. Managed to make this experience a blast too.

my 3rd half day leave was due to the fact tt i rushed and squeezed thru massive crowds of pple from Suntec convention to DBS audi for Virtuoso '08. I guess the saying of "台上一分钟,台下十年功" always stayed true. I must say tt i went there to support my frens, but i was disapppointed with the overall. Much more can be done to make it an excellent show. Instead, I saw panicking, frantic situations, loads of waiting time, and cranky light masters. To my frens, thanks for the effort of putting up the show. My support for u all will be there, bt pls do jiayou for the next time k? my loyalty for NPS nv fade becos of my wonderful experience there, so work hard and rock on. Anticipating for a BIG BANG on Virtuoso '09. =P

lab in school has also nv been as pathetic as now. I m v definite that I m going to write an extremely detailed complain letter to my direct Prof. about them. Most of them are just lumps of lard who does nt but create trouble. They make us enter the lab late everytime (we alr have NO time in that 6hr lab), becos they went for breakfast and got in late. Then they themselves are so unfamiliar with the instruments place or procedures that everytime we ask them questions, they either say "Don't know, why not u ask the Blue TA." or "How would i noe?". Then when u make a mistake, they either scold u, making the lab atmosphere an instant toxic one, or they would giggle and laugh at u WITHOUT really helping u to SOLVE or SALVAGE the prob. Every wk they even BOTHER to create a "bad behaviour" list to mark pple who make mistakes but why do they NOT use their freakin brains to think why on earth would we b in such a mess if their presence were USEFUL.

Also, they fancy having lunch ALTOGETHER, meaning 1 or 2 hrs of lab hours u will not see even a shadow of ANY TA, meaning if we were to bomb the lab, they wouldn't even noe. Sometime me and others would even catch them switching off the lights in the supposely TA room to HINT that they are not ard but from aNOTHER corner they are sneaking lunch INTO LAB to EAT (which u r NOT suppose to) and watch tudou.com or youtube.com! An when u knock the door for a favor, they will etiher ignore u, or come out and scold u. WTH. The grumbles can just go on and on and yet, its nt even equivalent to the miseries they gave us. And yet, they are paid $30-$40 an HOUR. Give me tt money and i CAN show u how u shld EARN it the PROPER way.

tml onwards will be my 1st series of midterm tests. stressed. I have alot to catch up, and 1 thing I was happy abt was that performances just keep rolling in but cos its too last min, we always had to do it ourselves. Meaning learn new songs and perform immediately. Tiring, time-consuming and eating up my revision time. Hope things get better. As for midterm, I have to just try.

tml inorganic chem midterm. still having a huge headache on the slides i m reading. wish me luck.
