Dumbo has a shit load of to-dos to complete over the weekend. sat and sun are both reserved for work work work fyp fyp fyp reports reports reports

Dumbo packs his macbook and makes his way to the school library one hour away. Because there’s not much ppl in the school library during the school holidays, and there’s aircon.

Dumbo buys his new favourite high fat mcdonald’s meal, Sausage McGriddles with egg. yummy pancake buns surrounding sausage platter. good thing dumbo only discovered this after his temporary veg diet.

Something went off as dumbo sets foot into the library. Did i bring my thumbdrive? the one with all the work inside?

Dumbo didnt bring the thumbdrive with all his work inside.
Shit shit shit.

Dumbo sets down in the library, opening up his take away Mc breakfast. only to realise the Mc staff gave him sausage mcmuffin with egg instead of that yummy pancake sausage burger.

Shitty shitty shit shit.

How much will you pay to be free?
Whats the opportunity cost for staying at home and not finding work?

No of times windows needs to be restarted a day: 3
No of times IE6 “encountered a problem and needs to closed” : 6

Being forced to work in windows environment allows me to appreciate my fruit themed machine more.

This is coming out of my sleep time. So let me whine for a bit and don’t mind the incoherence.

Work is piled high. Been sleeping late and waking up early the past few days to work work work. “Oh why you extend internship? You got contract with the company ah?” Like they’ve enough space for a non scholar. And I have no idea why I extended too. Fyp got lots to do. No research is ever enough. There are always additional info you can find.

I should start by saying scholar and me are friends.

In order to concentrate, I’d need to be distracted by music.

Its always better to appear as an asshole and show your positive traits later, than to be labeled as a nice guy in the beginning and be marked for faults.

If I have an office room to myself, one with great window view, that used to be a director’s room, would I have anything to complain about? would surely shut any suggestions that I’d be lonely in the room. Isn’t it part of having a room to myself? Its my own room for goodness sake. Better than high traffic cubicle next to main glass door.

I’m surrounded by so many scholars that the colleague who sat next to me asked: so what scholarship program are you under?
Now i have a good ans to reply: MP Scholarship. Mama Papa Scholarship. Bond for life.

Can never understand how those from elite schools can have never ending discussions about their schools and the interactions with other elite schools.

let’s say there’s a job offering up for grabs. 2 guys are applying for it.

Requirements are as follows: outstanding academic performance. intelligent. confident. outgoing personality. wit is much appreciated.

Guy A wants the job. However, requirements are high, most probably job will not be compatible.

Guy B is unsure whether he wants the job, but thinks job is fun. Quite compatible with job requirements, perhaps more. Headhunter seems interested in getting him.

..i’d choose the scholar too.

very tired. mentally exhausted. is there anything i can watch to feel better?

Whose line is it anyway. with vodka if it still doesnt do the trick.

Today is the 1st of July, 2009.

I woke up late today, as i forgot to set the alarm clock the night before.
Rushed to get to work. In my hurry, earphones were left at home. So didnt have the any music with me.

Was assigned a research task at 515pm today, due tmr morning. Brought work home. Am working on it now.
Have something else due tmr, which i’d need to touch up quite substantially.

Even with all of the above, today’s a nice day :)
