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...

Casino Royale

Vesper Lynd: You're not going to let me in there, are you? You've got your armour back on. That's that.

James Bond: I have no armour left. You've stripped it from me. Whatever is left of me - whatever is left of me - whatever I am - I'm yours.

Vesper Lynd: You love me?

James Bond: Enough to travel the world with you until one of us has to take an honest job... which I think is going to have to be you, because I have no idea what an honest job is. 

That last scene where Vesper died in the elevator was so sad.  Sigh, he'd shed his armour for her but now he's just going to shut himself in more than ever...

Stress can do wonders  to your body.

 Like automatically waking up at 9.57AM when you set the alarm at 10AM before going to sleep at 4.

Amazing.

My face in thine eyes, thine in mine appears

And true plain hearts do in the faces rest;

Where can we find two better hemispheres,

Without sharp north, without declining west?

Whatever dies, was not mixed equally;

If our two loves be one, or thou and I.

Love so alike, that none can slacken, none can die.
