Had to drag myself out of bed this morning. I was really dead tired but had to force myself to attend my least favourite AWE lecture. Shucks..

AWE lecture was expectedly boring. IF lecture was much better though. Our lecturer spent the first hour going through a series of equations, solving for some variables and testing the model with empirical evidence, finally ending up with one final equation. Then he said," Now that we have this equation, so what? Who cares? You care. Because it might come out in the exams." I thought that was very funny. Instant wake-up call as well.

After class, met Tzu Yao to go home. At the busport, these 2 drunken and probably stoned on drugs teenagers came up to us and made some idiotic gestures, while garbling in some stupid language which was probably what the poor mistaken, ignorant souls thought Asians sound like. We stared at them till they backed off. I was furious and if I wasn't mindful of the fact that hitting his face might end up with me deported back to Singapore, I would have seriously rearranged his face like Mr Potato Head.

To top things off, the bus was half an hour late as it broke down. When we finally got on the bus, the bus was very slow as well, as there were a lot of people waiting for the bus. The bus had to stop at every stop to let a lot of people alight and get on. The result was that I was one and a half hours behind my ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival, sounds pro right?) for my home.

All in all, it was a bad day which got better in the morning and progressively became worse towards mid-afternoon. The highlight was talking to Tzu Yao and his crap theories and hypothesis as usual. I have specially selected a few good ones to share with you.

Tzu Yao on the advantages of Lasik (Laser eye surgery)

"The only one I can think about is next time when you eat laksa you can see the laksa, cause your specs won't fog up already. Applies to homemade noodle and other hot soupy stuff also"

Tau Yao responding to question, "What would you do if you had a one time access to a time machine?"

"I would go to the future to look at what I am doing. If I am selling mee goreng on the streets or begging, or if my son turn out to be a useless bum, I'll go back to the present and commit suicide. No point carrying on."

When I was thinking about something and happened to be looking at him.
Tzu Yao: Why are you looking at me with such seductive eyes?

Ian: Seductive meh?

Tzu Yao: I was putting it nicely only lar...

Ian: Hmm? Den what did you want to say?

Tzu Yao: What the f*** are you staring at?

Ian: *Snook...*

He's really a darn funny person. Bus rides seem shorter with him around.

Thinking that I always feel a little weird when my aunt speaks to me. Today I realised why... She speaks to me in exactly the same way she did when I was 5 years old. Haha.. Of course not baby talk lar, but something like talking to a kid. But at her age I think that's reasonable lar. Anyone would be young to her. ;P
