Chapter 155 - Tiredness
today, I was supposed to get up at 6am to go coxing. and so my alarm rings, and then follow SOP (standard operating procedure) right, snooze many times first then wake up. But today, although I knew I had to be out of my bed, or I will be late, my body simply wasn't obeying my command.. My brain was telling me "Kenny, stay in bed... you know you want to... yes, that's right now.. stay snuggled up in bed, why the hell will you want to go coxing?"

but of course, kenny won in the end, although he was about 10 mins late... ;p

------------------------

yesterday, during (one of my) supervisions, my supervisor said something that is so true... Cambridge terms are not sustainable over long periods of time, that's why it's 8 weeks. Of course, that's his own opinion, but it really does reflect the rigour of the workload here... If it's 9 weeks or 10 weeks long, you will see Cambridge students collapsing on the streets and in the colleges. There's just way too much stuff for 8 weeks. So I am glad that it's just another 3 days of lectures and a mountain load of work before the holidays..... :)

Chapter 154 - Cleanliness & Hygiene
Finally, i have some time to clear up my room which most people, if they've been to my room in the past week, will know it was a mess. So now my room is slightly neater and cleaner, cos i've swept the room. Interestingly, while looking through the dust and stuff I swept from around my room, i saw the usual hair, dust from dunno where, chilli seeds and a very small bit of broccoli from the curry last friday, some bits of cookie crumbs. At least they were only a week old at the most, since I make it a point to sweep my room at least once a week.

And speaking of which, it's unbelievably fast how it's the last week of term already. How did 7 weeks of term and 2 weeks of field work pass by me so quickly? I'm looking forward to the end of term definitely. I need a break.. although there's even more work to complete now at the end of the term.. sighz. I just wanna get this over and done with and head over to the US.... ;p

Hang in there Kenny!!!

Chapter 153 - (Supervisions)^4
today was such a tiring day. For the first time ever, I've had FOUR back-to-back supervisions. Normally I have 4 supervisions on Thursday but spaced out during the day, but today, there was a rearrangement for one of my supervisions, and another over-ran by about 30 mins, hence not giving me a break in between. And worse of all was, I had to go from college to the earth science (esc) department in 5 mins (1.7 miles according to Google Maps), from the ESC department to the Cavendish Labs in -10 mins (you got me right, negative 10 mins - distance = 2.0 miles)....

for the benefit of those who don't know what supervisions are, check out the following definition extracted from the Kenny's concise dictionary:

Supervisions(noun): A very stressful hour session that is (usually) attended by two supervisees and one supervisor (aka a Fellow or phD student). Requires a fair amount of work to be done before the supervision. (Referenced to "101 ways to chao keng a supervision") In most other universities, the terminology used is tutorials.

So yes, after the 5 hours of brain-frying sessions, the first thing I did when I got back was to take a nap... :)

-----------------------------

Anyway, I must draw everyone's attention to this article on the MrBrown.com site.. I must say I was quite touched when I was reading the article... poor Faith...

Chapter 151 - The Awesomeness
I must say today has been a pretty good day at the Nottingham Games... I was playing Ultimate (Frisbee)... We went with minimal expectation and came back feeling rather satisfied... hehe.. Well, we were afterall a leisurely team of players who meet up on weekends just to have a FRIENDLY tossabout, rather than training sessions or drills. So i must say we have done very well, considering for more than half the team, this was the first PROPER game of ultimate we've played. In case you're wondering what's my definition of played well, we won 1 match (against LSE B) and lost 4 others.. hehe.. but we didn't get trashed and neither did we not score in any of the matches...

--------------------

Tsubasa Chronicle is awesome man... as if I've not said enough. I'm at episode 6 now and it is DAMN cool. goodness. It's slightly philosophical too I guess, but I LOVE it nonetheless... i don't know why, but there is this very heartwarming feeling each time I watch it... And it's sooooo sweet lah! Even made me buy 2 posters (of which i haven't found space to put up the other) and all 4 cd soundtracks already (the music is AMAZING! i love the violins... although it's supposed to be some form of soundscape, although i'm not sure what's that supposed to mean)... oops... ;p

Chapter 150 - I Miss....
I miss lying in bed each night before I sleep and reading a chapter of a book.. Nowadays, not only do i fall asleep right away, my bed is also too poorly lit to do any bedside reading... :(

and i realised it is quite hard to be watching 4 different anime series... storyline gets a little confused after a while.. hehe.. But doesn't matter lah. Anime anime anime!

Chapter 148 - Tsubasa Chronicle
I can't say I'm a connoisseur of anime, although i have sampled quite a few already. And recently, I started watching Tsubasa Chronicle, and it's definitely my favourite for now. That used to be Bleach for the last year, but it's changed now. It's magical, yet wise and so swwwwwweeeeeeeeeet and romantic, the music is really nice too... and the girl is uber-kawaeeeeee! :) Can't wait to finish the whole season.. hehe... ;p

Chapter 147 - Peace out....

hmm. It seems I might have sent out the message that I don't sleep. But really, I do. :) Not very much always, but at every opportunity I can afford, I try to get some rest, even if it's just a 15 min nap. Power naps do work wonders - I swear by it. I say this cos i've been woken up by phone calls many times this year, even in my naps. Murphy's laws never fails, ie. the phone doesn't ring until i'm away from it. Oh well.

And while i had time to do some blog-surfing today, i was shocked to find so many blogs that i used to read had bitten the dust... how sad... there goes my voyeuristic pleasures... not to mention, one even became/got re-directed to a porn site! gosh.

Oh. It seems like Kenny might be headed for Hawaii this Christmas.... so exciting. :)
