Am feeling a little shagged now. Went to BD's house today and we had lunch with BD's parents. Really an enjoyable lunch. We all ordered our desserts and we were sharing with one another, I give you some of mine and you give me some of yours. BD's mom gave me some of her pear dessert and BD's dad gave me some of his cherry dessert. But what a bummer I was,gave some only to his mom,but forgot about his dad. =/. Then when BD went to his grandma's house to collect some vinegar and his dad went to buy 4D, his mom and I were waiting in the car and we were talking. :) And yes,today I learnt how to pump car tire. BD's mom's car tyre was really flat. So had to wait for a while before it was fully pumped.
BD went to Bras Basah to buy Harrison's book on Internal Medicine.Really heavy,can use to kill someone if he wants to rob you. Haha..then I was telling BD that you can use an Iridium phone set to kill someone,cos the phone is as large as a brick. And just if you did not know, Iridium in this case is not the element. If you aint sure, it essentially is a f**ked up project undertaken by Iridium to launch a satellite phone service. The conceptualisation to commercialisation took a good 11 years and by then, they totally missed out on cellular technology and their technology by the time they commercialised it,was way way obsolete.It was a technological feat, but an economic failure. I believe that is one of the classic MBA case studies. Haha. Pretty interesting to read on the theories on why Iridium failed.
Anyway. Am going to sleep. Feeling so tired after a long day. Sweet dreams. Oyasuminasai!

Now school has started. I just finished my macroeconomics hw. I finished it yesterday actually. But what I did just now was to make sure that my answers were correct[hopefully they are. There are some which I am not too sure of but I tried my best] and rewrote them cos I used pencil when I first started doing it and it was pretty messy.
Am in the process of bidding for an extra course-Financial Accounting. I put 47.88 e dollars but I am mulling over whether or not I should change that bid. 47.88 does not seem *auspicious enough* . Something like 48.88 or 44.88 seems nicer for the number is even. Even the sum of 4+(8X3)and 4+4+8+8 are even! The Chinese associate auspicious things with even numbers dont they? Like the amount of money given in angpows is always even, e.g. $8,$10,$20 etc.
And oh did I mention, when I was walking under some trees yesterday one bird dropped a bomb on me? Yucks. I washed my hair twice after that. Someone said that I should get 4D. But what number to buy? Someone suggested the last 4 digits of my IC. But which combination?There are more than 10 possible combinations! Can't expect me to buy all of them right? I am not like some people, who buy more than 50 combinations every time they step into the 4D shop.

Today is officially the last day of my holidays. School will be starting tomorrow and yes, Mondays will be long days again. But if that translates into a four day school week, I dont mind. =) I changed the skin of my blog. The picture on my previous skin disappeared somehow. It just...spirited away. Haahaa.
Had a nice day at the pool with BD yesterday. BD was removing white/black heads from my nose in the pool yesterday. Funny right? BD can be a beautician instead! Hey that is a lucrative trade ok. Cos there are so many people out there who are willing to burn a big hole in their pockets just to look pretty.
BD gave me a nice bear hug yesterday after in front of so many other people yesterday. I like the bear hugs from BD. Comfortable. Romantic. Heartwarming. Sweet. The whole list goes on and on.
BD's mom was really nice yesterday. Mentioned that I like the you tiao in the rojak. Then she started picking out all the you tiao for me. Simple gesture. But I really appreciated that. Warmed my heart =)
From now on, I guess that both BD and I will be pretty bogged down by work. So, every second when we meet will become more precious. Would make us treasure the time we spend together even more[hopefully]. Guess one advantage being in a different school offers is that it allows us to have more personal space and freedom to talk/eat/chill out with whoever we want to. If we were in the same school I presume we'd be stuck together like glue and it may not totally be a very good thing. Also, it is precisely that we are in different schools that makes us treasure the time we have together,for we are unable to meet as and when we like. So, isn't it a blessing in disguise?

Today marks a very very important day in the history of Singapore- Singapore goes back to being under the rule of the Lees. Some people call Singapore "The Lee Country", "Lee Inc" and so on. Well, for me, I'd call it " Li3 Jia1 Huang1 Chao2", meaning " The Lee Dynasty". Heard something real funny yesterday-that Genki Sushi @ Yusof Ishak Hall in NUS will open only today, the 12 of August because this is the day that Singapore goes back to being under the Lees. Haha that is really funny. I did not think of that. Look at ST today. More than 75% of the home section was devoted to you-know-who. To me, that means little. Nothing more than just propaganda, telling the whole world how good,how capable, how brilliant you-know-who is. Enough of you-know-who. I wont be so stupid to write so much about him,otherwise I'd be as guilty as the media.
Am reading my Intro Econs book in preparation for my Macroeconomics course. Just realised that there were some chapters there in the Microeconomics section that was not covered in my 1st term but was covered in my 2nd term as I was doing my Intermediate Microecons course. I came across something quite interesting-Gifts as signals. Signalling basically means an action undertaken by one person to reveal certain information about himself to others. E.g. one taking courses to get qualifications in order to signal to people that he/she is capable of doing certain things.
Gift giving is a very strange custom. Gift giving reflects asymmetric information and signalling. Let's say that a guy wishes to let his wife know that he loves her. Choosing a good gift is a signal of his love. If he loves his wife, giving a good gift should be easy. If he merely gives cash, it means that he does not bother to even try.
Isn't it interesting to be able to relate social behaviors to Economics? That's the reason why I think Economics is beautiful. Economics is not all just about maximising profit and minimising cost. Economics is much deeper than that for human behavior is involved. And human behavior can be complicated and hard to fathom sometimes.

-The good you find in others is in you too. The faults you find in others are your faults as well. After all, to recognize something you must know it. The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you as well. The beauty you see around you, is your beauty. The world around you is a reflection, a mirror showing you the person you are. To change your world, you must change yourself. To blame and complain will only make matters worse. Whatever you care about, is your responsibility. What you see in others, shows you yourself. See the best in others, and you will be your best .Give to others, and you give to yourself.Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.Admire creativity, and you will be creative. Love, and you will be loved. Seek to understand, and you will be understood. Listen, and your voice will be heard. Show your best face to the mirror, and you'll be happy with the face looking back at you.- ** I will love you forever** I love you so deeplyI love you so muchI love the sound of your voiceAnd the way that we touchI love your warm smileAnd your kind thoughtful wayThe joy thay you bringTo my life everydayI love you todayAs I had from the startAnd I'd love you foreverFrom the bottom of my heart***** This is for someone who means a lot to me. Someone who I may have taken for granted sometimes. Someone who I may have unwittingly hurt sometimes. Someone whom I feel, is worthy of what I have written above. Hope that it can bring a bit of happiness to that person.
