Oh sheez, it's already one in the morning. I said that I would sleep early tonight, but I ended up playing Hexic with Rachel. Because she seems to have discovered Windows Live or something. I figure that if I don't post tonight, I'll post tomorrow, and procrastinate. I don't want to procrastinate any more, because it is really important that I get through these CTs(however simple or disappointing they might turn out to be) with awesome, kick-ass grades.

Anyway, I've just spent four days in KL, Malaysia, during which I did a few things. I followed people around drearily, while they shopped. I tried teaching my cousin how to cube. It turns out that she's not really supportive when it comes to classifying 85% of the world as Biofuel. I followed people around shopping malls some more, dropped off to Borders a couple of times, during which I managed to read some of Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchet's Good Omens. I must say, it really is a delightful text. Pity that I hardly got anywhere with it, because I did not have a lot of time to read.

(Ironically, because I remember trudging around with my family for hours and hours, making up fight scenes in my head)

Sort of like that, but with people having superpowers instead.

Anyway, the nights were spent watching DVDs that my dad bought. For some reason, we ended up seeing three movies over the course of four days, that all had similar themes, and lots of kissing scenes. It was probably because we were avoiding the other genre that my father bought, being horror.

By the way, Pulse is a horrible movie.

In any case, it seems like romance flicks are just filled, packed, with subplots and subplots of subplots. And the thing is that none of the subplots really connect with one another other than that they all stem from the main plot. Which doesn't really exist. It's more of a main plot device. This, is particularly irksome as the movies just tend to drag rather long, without coming to a satisfying or enjoyable conclusion.



And then we got donuts for our fathers.

Using their money. Argh.

I hardly made any headway with either of the books that I brought along. I don't suppose that I can hope to finish Origin before next week. Cursed tests. So that means that Guns, Germs, and Steel(Thank you, Hongjie) will have to wait for later.

So then. I have a message to all my friends in the same course as I am, or have Microbiology modules. I am on a mission to compile the entire syllabus into an easy to read and grammatically correct... Book. Or rather, a text file, for now. This, supposedly, is going to help us to study more effectively, and feel like we're actually learning things from a text, rather than from the words of someone's mouth. I figure that I cannot do this on my own, not before our common test next week, so I seek your help. As of now, I have covered the biochemical tests, the various other methods of identification, and the prokaryotic cell wall. I am not asking anyone to actually create anything. Rather, I just want to let you know, so that I may obtain feedback on what I have done so far. To fill in missing information, or to correct inaccuracies. I am not infallible, so yeah.

And, that is pretty much all. Time to get to bed, so that I may be sufficiently rested to design electromagnet-pants.

I mean, to study and finish up those buggering chemistry reports.

I ask you, what is this? I saw it in a shop.

Person who gets it right wins the internet.
