Some random thoughts about tv... Lab is down for air-con maintenance, so essentially I'll just be doing my readings today. Until 6.

So anyway, I was watching "Unriddle". It was so heavily criticized, but knowing Singaporeans who just love to complain, I decided to watch it for myself. I started watching from that clown abducting kids story, so I missed the part about Yuze disappearing. That story was sad. Well, the next story was even sadder. I think all the actors in this show are great. Actors who rarely get the chance to be the main lead, but work hard silently. 章增翔 (can't remember his new name)，黄炯耀，陈泰铭，王昱清。。。and 陈弘宇 was such a convincing 骆忠孝。His calm façade masks the insecurity and cruelty that he hides within. Especially the scene after he reads the fake letter that Yaxuan supposedly left him and held the letter to his chest. I was really really touched when I watched that. I also liked how his face instantly changed when Xiaoman revealed that the letter was fake. I thought it was really cruel, but then again, was it not cruel of him to take away the lives of so many innocent young girls?

And then there's this long-running line about Yuze's disappearance and how the former band of brothers are killed one after another. I'd originally thought the police (陈泰铭） was the murderer, because he keeps emphasising how he can't afford to lose what he has, but after he couldn't bring himself to kill Xiaolang yesterday... I don't think it's him anymore. AND Xiaolang said it was Zhang Yuze who shot him. AND the security guard saw Yuze at the scene where Four-eye's wife was forced to jump off the building. So I guess it's not really that impossible that he's a bad guy...

BUT THEN there are still 4 more episodes to go, and I really don't think they'll reveal the ending so early on. So I'm thinking that there must be more than meets the eye. Hmm... my guess will be Dewei then. He might not be as dumb as he seems. He was the one who recounted Xiaolang's account of what happened 15 years ago to Xiaoman, but Xiaolang later denied having said anything. So he might have lied, though Xiaoman doubted that he could have come up with such a fancy story. What's his motive, though? Framing Yuze so that he could win the heart of Xiaoman seems a bit far-stretched. Maybe he's the son of Chai or something... To seek revenge for his father...

Haha, I'm thinking too much...

I'm really tired.

Just waiting for time to pass… Until when I can finally go home. Not that I hate it here; I’m just really really tired. Is there something wrong with me, being this tired after 6.5 hours of sleep? I don’t know.My lab techniques have always been pretty bad, and I’m terribly slow. Still am, but I think I’m slowly improving. I mean, today’s the second time I’ve done a standard addition of strontium using the graphite furnace. The readings were not good though; the graph is not linear. So I’d have to redo the experiment. This is my second attempt already. Actually when something goes wrong, I’m totally lost. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to troubleshoot. And I’m kind of worried, cos I’m still not very familiar with operating the GFAAS, especially the aligning part. These past few days LJ has been helping me to set up the instrument while I prepared the solutions. So when it’s finally time for me to do it on own…

We’ll see.

Saw Ping Sen in school today. He asked how my FYP was and commented that I look ‘憔悴’. I'd like to think that he means I've lost weight, but really I think he's just referring to the dark circles under my eyes. -_-

Anyway, here's my timetable:

	1400	1500	1600	1700	1800	1900	2000
mon	LSM1102-B	LSM1102-B	LSM1102-B	LSM1102-B
tue
wed		CM4242-T	LSM1102-L	LSM1102-L	LSM1102-T
thur
fri	CM4242-L	CM4242-L			CM4211-L	CM4211-L	CM4211-T

Any time that is not labelled means I'm in lab. So you can imagine how thrilled I am.

School has started, and it's left me feeling so drained. I'm supposed to report to the lab everyday at around 9, though I tend to reach at 9.30, and leave at 6. Guess I didn't know what I'd signed up for. Everyday seems so long... and when it's finally time to leave, I have to beat the crazy rush hour traffic to get home at about 7 plus. Where am I going to find time to do my work for other modules?

Watched the YOG opening ceremony last night. The performance was quite boring, to be honest, though the stage design was nice. The speech by the chairman of the organising comm was horrible; I couldn't help cringing whenever he paused and then the crowd would applaud. Oh man... But it made me want to go watch at least one of the matches. I mean, who knows how many years it would be when an event of this scale will return to Singapore again?

Inception

You're waiting for a train; a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you can't be sure. Yet it doesn't matter - because we'll be together. 

~Mal

I miss you more than I can bear, but we had our time together. I have to let you go. 

~Cobb

Argh, Cobb's guilt. I cried when the scene showed he had indeed kept his promise to grow old together with Mal, and then he finally decided to let her go... :(

And I stayed till the end of the credits, but what's supposed to be there isn't! Grr...
