Woke up thinking it was a Sunday

It's amazing how the week actually flew by. I woke up on Thursday morning thinking it was Sunday as for the past week I didn't have proper sleep and waking up on Thursday morning felt exactly like waking up on a lovely Sunday morning with no care nor concern about what time I had to get up...

So I've seen 3 of my friends off to the airport this week and I missed the last bus yesterday because it didn't stop for me. Rifdi's farewell was the saddest for me because I knew him since Secondary 1.

The other days were equally packed. On Wednesday, I joined my former colleagues from PSA HRPD in their function and drank a glass of red wine and mug of beer and sang a few songs with them. I must say it was one of the rare occasion that I actually sang. HAHA and the songs I sang were all ABBA. Rushed back for the ACM-ICPC session in school, but I reached sightly too late as by then, they were already discussing about the solutions.

And today is Sunday. End of the week. Next week is recess week.

I forgot to add about the joys of the week. This list includes finding a loophole in the system and discovering that I have access to SoC's computing cluster. Regarding the loophole, I managed to get myself a free locker in COM1. Many thanks to Colin. Colin remarked that even though I study science, I breathe and live computing. Pretty much true.

"You will understand why global warming is inevitable" Prof Peter Ho, my physics lecturer on 2nd law of thermodynamics. I feel that that law is particularly shocking and everyone should know about it (yeah they should teach it at A levels).

Some lyrics from the song Young Folks by Peter Bjorn and John

if i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me
if you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

The serene waters

I went jogging last night, ran towards the usual MacRitchie reservoir. Ah it has been at least 3 months since I last ran and it is actually a whole new experience running into a deserted reservoir with the clear, serene and dark blue waters reflecting the moon. Of course, every time I run down that stretch, I would never fail to recall the time I've spent training at MacRitchie. It might have been a short period of time, but that memory will remain.

Looking back this week: Large Hadron Collider is turn on! The world is going to end! Okay, I was only joking.

Today, I got teamed up with an Indonesian and another local. They have thoughts about sending us to taking part in the ACM regionals in KL for experience. Personally, I feel I need more time as one has only 5 chances in ACM.

Boo

6 months since I've quit wow? I have no idea when is the exact date that happened, but I remembered that I've made the decision while I was at Colin's place.

XKCD shirts have arrived! It was way faster than the 5-7 weeks they claimed it would take. In fact I think they took less than 2 weeks to reach here. Love. I love the sudo shirt because I'm an abuser of the command sudo. Gonna wear one today. Whee.

Next week will be a busy week with 3 people flying off.

I'm going to end this post with the remainder to everyone that correlation in statistics does not imply causation. Statistics blind people at times.
