Brief update to record something interesting that happened today...
while taking (the extremely crowded) bus 95 to school this morning, some idiot motorcyclist decided to turn and cut in front of the bus from the opposite direction at a four-way junction. naturally, the bus driver jammed on the brake really hard (can't blame him this time), and all the standing passengers were literally thrown forward onto the floor. all except me, that is. fortunately, i saw the motorcyclist attempting his retarded move, and was thus holding tight to the support bars. the motorcyclist was lucky to escape almost unscathed...i'm guessing the worst he got was a few scrapes from the road when his bike skidded. though i'm no longer wishing death on him, i am still wishing that he gets his license revoked, better sooner than later.
as of 11:pm yesterday, the 7th month has started. or so i hear, at least. being chinese, i understand the need to follow the tradition and custom of burning offerings for departed relatives. problem is, the HDB has set up those burning points unbelievably close to the blocks. ever since last night, i've been breathing in higher concentrations of carbon dioxide, monoxide, and other stuff that's bad for health. there's now an irritating, scratchy feeling located behind my nose, above the roof of my mouth. could be because i haven't been drinking enough water too.
ok...that's basically it. i seem to be less productive (work-wise) at home, so i think i'll go to school early tomorrow to print my bio lecture notes and finish up my lab report.

-random thought of the day: Why must people burn stuff at all odd hours?-
