It's a small world after all

Just a little inconsequential but neat observation:

President Bush just spoke at NUS, and since S'pore is so small, he was probably closer to y'all than i ever was or will be. On the flipside, thinking back on my D.C. trip, when i was there who else but the MM of all people also happened to be there... And i'm also reminded of how when the chemical blast happened near here a couple of weeks ago, i first heard of it from my friend in Philly, and then shortly after i read about it online, later on my mother also asked if i was affected... So along that vein, dunno if y'all heard about the tornado that struck somewhere in NC which klled eight people but anyways just in case y'all did that's three hours away from here, near Wilmington so no sign of anything here...

Off to Charleston, SC tomorrow and am trying somehow to get as much work for the weekend done as possible - to that extent today i read the second halves of two books that i've to read for two different classes. Come to think of it, i think i've read more books for classes here than i even read for English Lit back during A levels - and that was within one-and-a-half years - here it's only four months... But anyways am also trying to squeeze in work for post-Thanksgiving (i.e. one-and-a-half weeks away) now, so have been relatively busy - in any case i'm still amazed that i'm actually doing work so far ahead - see what exchange can do for you hehe...
