Shall do a long post today.

YAY for Singapore to win the YOG bod, but I kinda expected it, because firstly, they were wanting to find a city that could not host a real size Olympics (so S'pore was the choice; Moscow went for the 2012 Olympics bid), and secondly, I think they have 'confidence' in the govt since they were here for the IOC meeting, which was successful. I personally think that the whole concept wasnt very fantastic, because I was puzzled and confused after I watched the video, especially about the education and cultural exchange part, and the many circles thingy. It was very confusing, and not succinct, and the video wasnt that fantasic either, until the last part. And then, I was wondering how they can build the sports hub by 2010, when they have not started demolishing the National stadium to start with in the first place. A bit of work must be done there. Its only at most 2 years away from 2010. But its good, since it 'forces' the government to inject money into the economy, and thus raising AE because AE=C+G+I+X-M, and increasing G will lead to a parallel shift of the AE curve. This will stimulate economic growth, both short run and long run, and thus our SOL will be higher, since NI increase because of Keynesian theory of Y=AE, Y=NI, which is normally in the form of GDP/GNP. But SOL may not reflect truly the non material aspect, which is the enormous stress workers will have, which will lead to detrimental effects and high level of stress. This will cause the SOL to be overestimated, and indices such as NEW and PQLI must be used to make a more conclusive conclusion. However, because of the low multiplier S'pore has due to high MPS due to saving traditions and CPF, hence the extent of help to raise the AE through injecting funds in government expenditure in the IR and the sports hub will be quite low.

Anyway, I know of people who went like 'Do I care?', or 'So?' after the results were announced, and I was like wth. I think the very least we should do is to understand our nation better, even if you do not have the time to watch the news or read the newpaper, or you are only interested to find out about the latest development about the Edison Chen sex scandal or Britney Spears' erratic behaviour. Its very sad to find out that there are so many apathetic people out there (you should know who you are) who do not care about anything at all other than entertainment news. And I realised very few read the newspapers. Am I the only wierdo out there to bother to flip the newspaper almost everyday? Lol. I feel angsty, sorry for the ranting. :P

Well, we had the YOG marshalling thingy which I feel that it could have been done in a better way. In the end, we just watched a bunch of peopl;e running past us and thats it. Then, nobody wanted to go Padang with me so we just stoned around and played bridge, till 5.30, then we went to play basketball since mish and jerm and carmen and joshua and whoever wanted to play. Then, it was 5 against jerm, and we were still thrashed. Then me and mish and jian yi were there sitting down emoing about everything - juniors (AaM letters), our CT rep, random events and a bit of bitching also. So we just stoned there for a while until we finally decided to go home. And Jerm's shirt was so wet that the stuff that we drew with marker came out, so his shirt was a myriad of colours. Then mish and jian yi and me went to wait for 852, and we started emoing again, about our class now. I mean after this year, we would most probably go our separate ways and most probably we cannot meet up as much, but I would really like to meet everybody after we graduate, like at least once per year, but I know thats impossible, because there will be people overseas, or people that dont really care, but if they dont want to come as a class, then we cant do much to them. I mean if they do not care about the class, then so be it. I was really jealous when Jian yi told me how his mum still meets up with ehr ny classmates for 30 over yrs, for CNY and for birthday celebrations. It would really be so cool to meet like them, but its highly possible. Or we can meet up for MAF! But who will go? :(

Had a long talk with jy while we took the bus, with heavy bags due to the year book. I realised how much work I have to do, but I dont really do it because I dont have the motivation? But I will do it anyway because I like last minute work :). Which is bad, since H3 test is like 3 wks away and I know nothing about reaction mechanisms, and block test 1 which is after the holidays. Probably I will use the holiday to do some serious mugging more, but I doubt it. There are many things that I have to do, but so little time (or this is just another excuse for being lazy). After that, I decided to walk home because 811 just left. I think walking home at night is very relaxing, and cooling even thought I had a really heavy bag, but it sorted out my thoughts even though 3 811s zoomed past me even thought I have tried walking as fast as possible. Maybe I should do this more often when I feel abit disorientated, or when I want to emo. Haiz, I wasted my earliest day to get CIP hours. There are many things I should have tried, such as OCIP and all, but I was too lazy last year. I really regretted now because those stuff will really enrich my life, but I chose to let them go. So now, I shall try to go look at the reaction mechanisms tutorial and try to kick some a** out of the cyclohexanes and benzene rings.

How I wish today was a Friday, because friday = survivor + breaks + short lessons + waking up later on Saturday. But the bad thing is I have H3 tutorial tomorrow and we are going through that tutorial which the geniuses in my class couldnt even do. Lets rip the cyclohexanes and benzenes and cyclic coumpounds apart. RAR!
