The title is just a channel of positive thinking for the drained. Go ahead and say it out loud if you feel down. I am using it as a title because I have run out of ideas for my blog entries' titles.

This week passed by pretty fast, and I realise that I haven't blogged for a couple of days already, so I should come in and make an appearance in order not to disappoint my fans. I'm beginnning to feel as if I'm getting used to the school life here at long last. I have actually written this entry before but because the computer managed to foul up on me again, I reluctantly find myself rewriting the same entry again.

Found myself with a very bad haircut today, courtesy of the local hair stylist. Despite charging an exorbitant rate of $15 bucks (roughly $19.20 Sing Dollars) I find that they do not understand what is the meaning of a slope. After about a minute of trying to explain, (how do you explain a slope anyway? A slope is a slope!), I finally gave up and left myself to the hair-stylist's whims and fancies. About 10 minutes later, as I surveyed the damage done, I found myself sorely missing Eileen.

Went to have dinner with Michelle and Wendi after that, at this Thai restaurant called The Green Curry. The food was good, hot and spicy, and the price was reasonable too. I just love Asian food. We went home after that. As I was bathing, I experienced a bout of vertigo, probably the sign of fatigue, and thereby resolved to give myself a break and have an early night. I needed to wake up at 6am the next day anyway for school.

Before I slept, I chatted to Yanchang online for a while and I found I had no choice but to include part of the conversation in my blog for it's humour factor. We were talking about the usual and sort of catching up on old times when I told him about the time capsule sorta thing that Eric (Weifeng) had. Eric and some of his friends had arranged a meeting 10 years ago for today, whereby they had already made a set of predictions about the future. Things such as who will get married first and who will have how many kids and whose kids will be the naughtiest and the like were decided and set on parchment to be dug up 10 years later and compared with the facts of today. When Eric told me about it I thought that it was a very cool idea and I told Yan about it. He thought that it was brillant as well and we began joking about doing a time capsule ourselves and burying it somewhere on the church compound while Uncle Raj is not looking. I brought up the possibility of Uncle Raj hiding behind a corner observing us doing our dirty deed while smirking. A rather funny sight, as I'm sure many of you are picturing in your minds now.

Anyway it brought up 2 possibilities:-

1) Gabriel will be cornered by Uncle Raj and held responsible for our actions. This is due to the fact that Gabriel seems to always be held responsible by Uncle Raj for any misdeeds and wrong-doings that even remotely seems connected to him, though I understand that the baton seems to have passed to David. However, I'm sure we can still frame Gabriel for it so David, if you're reading this you are quite safe. You owe me.

2) 10 years later as we are trying to dig up the time capsule we discover it gone without a trace. We also find that the time capsule is on sale for a thousand bucks on Ebay by user uncle_raj. Crap...

We decided that if we ever decide to do a time capsule, we will get Joel to swallow and regurgitate it later on.
