Nothing really seems to come to mind at this late (early?) hour. booking in in about 6 hours and 30 minutes' time, and i wonder why i'm not asleep yet. well, i'll be going soon...just waiting for the computer to finish defragmenting.
the past week was, true to my expectation, a rather sucky one. i guess you can say i'm officially "broken in" as a member of the family in sungei gedong. you see, i finally signed my first extra a few days back. well, i didn't actually sign, so my record's still clean. but i did get confined for a day, and for the stupidest reason too. not going to reveal what it was, lest you all die laughing. anyways, my neck's sunburnt, because i was baking in the sun while clearing weeds from the road during said confinement. uncomfortable, but survivable. as long as nobody touches it, that is.
re-read harry potter book 7 while stoning in bunk. i still feel that the ending could have been more conclusive, and i'd like to know a few more plot details. but we can't have everything in the world, so oh well.
went to give chem tuition to a junior today. sometimes, it's hard to explain things in a way that people understand, especially when you have additional A-level background knowledge that should, by right, simplify the job. guess what? your background knowledge actually makes it tougher. go figure. i was so tempted to launch into d-d* transitions and other transition metals stuff when explaining coloured compounds. but, from what i remember, i had no idea what an orbital was in sec 3 (let alone that there are different types of orbital), so i held back on that one. it's good to know that most of the stuff in my head's still intact, except for the occasional minor slip. still, nothing really challenging or unsolvable. i really think i should start charging fees.
well, it's close to 1:00 am, and that means i have to be up in...5 hours? guess i should run. the coming 5 to 6 days ahead appear to be extremely busy, what with national day and all. i'll update after it's all over.
