i’m still alive

,

self-explanatory title. as i continue riding on the fluctuating sine curve of busyness (its slightly low now), i occasionally contemplate writing something here but usually don’t find the need to tell the world everything. like how econs still sucks, or how i stayed overnight to complete my ltb portfolio (which was awesome by the way), or how i did my ct film (if you haven’t watched it on facebook yet), or how i think my is101 indiv proj was pwnage, or how i still procrastinate daily, or how i got all my bids for term two (with no morning classes :() and this is what my timetable looks like:

i’m doing only 4.0 CUs because my bidding basket is full and IS students are discriminated against not allowed to take other unicores or electives.

there you go. i’ve said everything i wanted to say. besides the dreaded wet weather. yesterday’s straits times reported that bukit timah was drenched in half a month’s worth of rain in about half an hour. that’s 115 olympic pools down the drain. literally.

in tech news (the geek in me still lives): google maps finally supports live traffic data for singapore :party: cna: “..marks the first time a country is working with google to provide transport options..” so at least you see LTA doing something constructive rather than digging roads and causing jams daily. see for yourself.

works on google maps mobile as well. no update required (:

and now, to finish my ltb journal and econs project, and study for exams. lots of meet-ups and shopping awaits in december (:

when you’ve been spending too much time working in school, you realise that the network gets congested (or restricted maybe?) from post-lunch all the way to dinner time. its when msn refuses to connect, and remote desktop suddenly fails, and live mesh stops syncing, and certain other [non port 80] websites decide to be not available. and then you start cursing at why you’re paying for IT Facilities that don’t work very well. working at home is another option, but then you’ll find that the exchange server is unfriendly over a long distance, and vpn doesn’t help either. blah.

and then you realise you’ve wasted time procrastinating when you should have killed the network and continued working on your econs problem set in the first place. oh well.
