Eventful

lots of stuff happened this week, and im getting tired although i still get around 10 to 11 hours of sleep each day. i think if i sleep any longer i may just turn into a fossil. maybe.

first was the lewis hamilton victory as mentioned earlier.

second was better, Mr Barrack Obama, the new US President. he won by quite alot, 339 to something like 1XX? i hope there will really be CHANGE as he promised. the bubble that promised better stock markets virtually burst on the next day, when world stocks went crumbling again. times are bad, its a good lesson learnt on saving. by the way, this man's swearing in as the next US president will be on Jan 20 next year, along with my birthday and milestone assessment. bullshit.

third was the Socio-cultural & Publicity cooking dry run. for some reason the publicity comm peeps became the backup cookers. which means we will have to be the people who will cook in vietnam in case john or the mimosa falls of the cliff or roll down the mountain. since we are back-ups, we did what we do best. EYE-POWER! while they cook, i took photographs (my job), melodie took videos (her job), olivia watched (her job too). the only person in pub comm who did something was fiona i think, and melodie did a bit of washing. the food did not turn out as marvellous, coconut rice that tasted like charcoal-according to my impression of what charcoal may taste like, fried chick wings that i've got nothing much to talk about, roti john with sliced bread was a no-go. the only thing that was pretty much tasty and edible was ikan bilis. or dried split fish. im too lazy to upload photos here.

fourth, my external hard disk went a screwed up and all the photos were missing. they include chingay, johnnie walker f1 campaign, singapore GP, bangkok photos and many others. so, i ran a software i downloaded from the net called PhotoRec. it worked pretty well, just its a bit of an uphill climb to find your recovered stuff as the files are all renamed to fxxxxxxxxxxx. i took around 3 hours to find the correct folders that my recovered photos are in. relieved to find them, if not i will be screwed inside out with my screwed drive.

fifth, friday morning. or yesterday. got to school much earlier to make a short video for the rest of the ocip team. i brought my photos, melodie brought the vids and olivia brought her notebook. we finished the video in just 2 hours, amazing. i never thought we could work at that rate. the video turned out to be rather good, with some captions here and there. i hoped we have helped the socio-cultural peeps and not made it worse. then went for the usual full team meeting/gathering at trophy room. and we did the usual stuff, dance, dance and dance again. practiced some songs that we gotta sing over at vietnam. i've got an extra job to do which is wear some chinese costume and walk around with josie. went to mac with kaixiang, zhongzi and yijun for lunch. met shane the soloman there. talked a bit of crap here and there and bitch about mimosa.never knew that side of me.

just now, jon came to pickup the les paul ultra im lending him for his prom. hope it will turn out good and do my guitar justice.

7 more days to vietnam. christmas got closer.
