so much for me dad calling...
i rang airport inquiries twice, n they said the flight is arriving at 2pm. so went to the airport.. n waited n waited n waited.. n it aint like the airport is next door.. its farrrr away. at about 3.30pm i get a msg from my dad -"leaving now".
'dang'- i drove straight home. was back in the airport at nite.

logic
i got a text message that surely cracked me up on an otherwise dull emotional wretched day.
i texted a fren in a former war torn country (the amazement of technology eh?), my dad is there n heading back, n i have forgotten his arrival time.
.. it goes like this:
me: hey man, how have u been? hope u not takin my dad out to the nite clubs. he's not much of a dancer. please find out when is arrvin tomolo, n let me know.thanx .... (or something along this lines)
me fren: yo bro all the best
cracked me up that reply. isit all the best to find out when me dad is comin? looks like i will find out when pops calls from the airport and says "where on earth are you?"
*i stil cant stop similing.. i guess its mostly coz u gotta know this guy -comedy central he is*

i really gotta agree with calvin (click "no"), scientist just dont know how to come up with good names. i just sat from an exam that knows not language, wat kinda word is "decapentaplegic".. sounds like decapitating logic.. but its just a gene to code for a protein. try other like spätzle, or rhombiod, twist n snail.. heck there is even sonic hedgehog.. which unfortunately is nothing like sonic the hedgehog in the good ol sega game. want more genes.. nanos, bicoid, caudal, hunchback.. which doesnt give u a hunched back by the way.. just helps the fly develop.
lucky this greek paper is over, but i am faced with a more uphill task in chemistry.. oh, i am sooo dead. more greek, names that make sense, but reactions that just cant stick in my head.
now i gotta start knowin my stuff.. dansyl chloride, ninhydrin, fmoc, claisen, aldol, peptide disulfide isomerase, theworldisinamess..!! (caughtchya on the last bit)
*there is this one strip i remember from calvin and hobbes where he tries to sell scientific names on the street (as opposed to the traditional lemonade). the link leads to the strips, categorized by subject*

look at the lens..
i just got an email that reminded me of an interesting incident that took place on a nice sunday evening over dinner..
it was at this new fancy "mamak" place nearby, and me future doc fren as his ever realible camera was there to take pictures of us eating. so who do u pick when all the people eating naan n chicken wings ate tradisionally with their fingers?? well, the waiter of course.
with a smiling face, da nice chap picked the camera, faced the lens to himself and tried to the picture, after moments of focusing n tryint to look through the lens, but with no avail to find the object of which he needs to shoot... he tries to snap the pic anyways! unfortunately he doesnt know which button to press, and returns the camera or we would have a close shot of the "technological poor" waiter.
needless to say, this incident enforces the reality of the world we live in, the inequalities and injustice the world stil has to deal with. next time i better remind myself to teach the guy how to work the camera.
*oh, we did get a pic afterall, from a gal sittin rite next to our table.. it turned out nice*

earplugssssss
with a very crucial final exam around the corner, i is gettin pressured!!!!
too much at stake n too much to learn. time really flies when ur having fun.. especially when i had such a relaxed semester. wonder where it all went??
tryin to get into the groove.. i was forced to clean my fan, i think its been months of dust build up, mom must have been afraid i get chocked by a dust ball or somethin?! (too much animal planet!)
after making da fan shine.. it now makes an incredible squeaking noise. i couldn't sleep all nite. n its been rainin lots, so the weather is cool.. cool enuf for the a.c to b redundant, but not enuf to turn the fan off..(oh i love the tropics)
so finally, those airline earplugs came in handy. stuffed em in my ear n went to bed in absolute silence.. well almost..
like in the chevrolet adv:
"the only sound you hear is your heartbeat"

what bad luck.. or just plain flirting with the law...
i got stoped over by the cops for talkin on my mobile while driving!! something i alwitz avoid, or make a quick "im driving, talk to u later".. unfortunately, this one time i was engaged on da phone even before i was driving.
talkin and walkin to the car, n just started to drive off...
well, now i have a court date. i intend to represent myself n make a BIG case out of it. if im good.. prob sue the government while i am at it!!!!
too much movies i think..

sidetrackin
goin back to the risk craze, i somehow stumbled across a nice demo for
Godstorm. can c a whole game being played. now i am gettin itchy.
unfortunately i have to put an order of restrain on meself on risk games n focus on me exams around the corner. so hard to focus.. so hard.
i am tryin to finish up the calvin n hobbes comics on my table.. and am doin it at a very fast rate now, n catchin all the Ali G shows so that i dont have any distractions. dont think its a plan that is gonna work though. i should go straight to da books.
may the force be with me!
