am feeling rather pleased with myself

for a couple of reasons:

one being that i've finally posted my first post of any real consequence on the ivle forum tutorial thingy for one of my history modules that i have been mumbling about as of late. Rambled on for rather a long while, but in actual fact i was merely going round in many large circles before reaching my conclusion of microscopic significance regarding colonisation. But well, a post's a post =)

also cos i followed up on my previously expressed thought to alight from the number 10 bus at Shenton Way so as to buy something from Carl's Jr, especially cos i am still a bit sore that Subway (just up the road from Carl's Jr) is discontinuing the issue of stamps... Sadly, they were out of sourdough, so i (armed with my $50 note, the meal purchase therefore providing a convenient excuse to break it into smaller denominations) had a grilled chicken bbq sandwich meal instead, upgraded to include the beef chilli cheese fries *yum*, which was very good nevertheless.

and there was also the matter of giving tuition to two girls one after the other today, and more importantly, being able to adequately explain elements, mixtures, compounds, atoms and molecules to someone who i suspect has roughly the same amount of scientific knowledge as yours truly... How i ended up giving tuition for math and science, of all subjects, is really an interesting story. God has been very gracious indeed.

plus after that i went over to the parkway/fairprice area to buy more food (including two more boxes of post cereal while the sale is still on *only $4.95* =) and also met Damian from Boat Coy along the way at parkway. Realised that i hadn't seen him since roughly a year ago when i ate at ginza for the first (and since then only) time, when some friends and i thought that the arts canteen was too crowded (some things don't change)...

lastly that my stuck Frasier dvd has finally been salvaged, and i am now able to continue slowly going through seasons four and five (i'm a stickler for watching the episodes in exact order) =)

but also in spite of a couple of things too:

like the fact that there still are so many readings and other assorted stuff to do for school, and it seems like i'll never complete it before more work comes along (and it doesn't help that i am a champion procrastinator too - this post being a case in point)...

also that since downloading the MEET forms i have done little else regarding the whole matter, not even to really pray about it. Have to really take this very seriously...

furthermore that the aforementioned $50 is now down to approximately half of that, all in one day, thanks to Carl's Jr and ntuc fairprice... The more $ at hand, the more i spend... Sigh...

and that i apparently have gained 3kg (that's like a 5% increase...) since like a couple of weeks ago. Chalk it up to eating a lot recently, and not exercising enough... Feel just like Augustus Gloop, such a porker... Oink.
