Fortissimo

I. Am. Phaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaased out. Totally.

COM217 was ok, Dr John Hocking was interesting. Certainly reflects the American standards of education... help me when I dunno how to answer a question, speak up, question authority, etc. Hope the classes will be as good as he promised.

Stats is a total insomnia cure. Dr. Leong was smart enough to make us fill blanks so we won't doze. The soporific power of his voice can put owls to sleep at night. Hell, the moment I open the Stats book when I get home, I start dozing off. Maybe he was browsing through my copy and breathed onto the book. Tough luck. It's always me.

Gaylene though, oh my word. A powerful message today about the reality of war. Not a-girl-worth-fightin'-for war, but the real see-your-friends'-heads-explode-one-by-one war.
It was enlightening to hear from Gaylene herself, a mild sufferer of Survivor's Guilt. But even though her grief was evident, she did express clearly, though not explicitly, that she did not blame the Viets, but Bush for sending the soldiers in.

After lesson Ben LKY and I go to IMM to see his stall and eat KFC. First day of school, first day of week, and I'm left with $32 for 4 days. Kersou.

We had an amusing experience with the Mini Melts dispensing machine though. I slot in 2 $1 coins, and selected chocolate. Now in the window there is only a blank shiny table, as far as one can see and deduce, and a pipe at the left hand side. Once I pressed 1 for chocolate, the table, which turned out to be a cooler lid, sprang open.

Three 17 year old boys exclaimed, 'Oooooohhh.'

The pipe then proceeded arcade style to float to the designated box for chocolate, and shot downwards. Suddenly the sound of vacuum was heard, and for a moment, I pictured, my sacred chocolate mini-balls running up a pipe that has been used for all sorts of flavours before. But then the pipe retracted, and out came a small container sealed in a packet, suspended by suction. Three 17 year old boys continued to stare in awed silence as the pipe came up front.

Suddenly the vacuum noise died away, and with a sickening krock the packet crashed onto the bottom of the chute.

Two 17 year old boys roared with laughter. One 17 year old boy stood in stunned silence.

It was nice though. Heh.

Oh yeah I'm looking for a cheap but reliable large capacity HD. Any lobang tell me, other wise I have to wait till Feb/March for IT fair. Sianz.
