Today was such a long and eventful day. I feel so tired now and don't feel like doing anything. Unfortunately, I have a whole lot of work lined up, don't know which to tackle first...arghh..it would be like that all the way to next week.

I had to go to school early for my proj meeting which was at 11am, but I reached science at around 9.30 am to ask ppl to help me do surveys for the proj.. wait, before that, smth happened on the way to sch. As I was walking past the block of flats at Dover crescent, I got the shock of my life when a long pole crashed down in front on me(the type used for hanging out clothes to dry). Another pole soon followed and when I glared up angrily, it was actually somebody throwing it down from at least 10 storeys high. I hurriedly ducked undercover and when the throwing stopped, I looked up again. The culprit was actually sticking out his head from above. I was so pissed that I did the unthinkable, I actually dialed triple nine. It was a spur of the moment thing as I was so freaking angry. What if the pole had hit me, or somebody else for that matter. That bloody thing could have killed, or at least seriously had the potential to injure. There was this uproar over 'killer litter' quite a while back. And while I was on the phone, the culprit, I think, came up to me and tried to say something, but I just ignored him and quickly walked towards school. The officer just asked me a few questions and said she would send some men down, but I doubt if anything would happen, and anyway he would have been long gone by then. Oh well, at least I did my duty as a 'lawful' singaporean..though I kinda regret it now...

I realize that science canteen is the worst place to do a survey. I only approached those people who were not eating and were not studying, and even then I was turned down, didnt even manage to get a completed survey there. A group of girls who were chatting gave me a killer glare as I approached and made the excuses that they were studying, and no one else seemed interested, making me feel so demoralized. I went to the engine canteen after that, and over there, it was a diff story altogether. All the people I approached helped me, but then they were all predominantly male, so when I approached with a wide smile, they could hardly turn me away, could they? In fact, I actually got hit on by some of them, one of whom actually left his phone number on the survey form, and another guy said smth along the lines of me being quite chio, so he didnt mind doing the survey.. how ermmm...I just mustered a grimace cum smile at that...hahah.though come to think of it, it was somewhat flattering, I seldom get this kind of comments after all..

After the proj meeting, I had lesson tutorial from 2-4. Went library to collate the survey results. And I realized that it is not as easy as I thought it would be. It was so tedious to go through all the survey forms and counting the various responses, and then trying to make links. Sigh, the project is due next tues it seems like everything is in a mess. We don't have a clear idea of the theme of our proj and very little time on our hands...sigh

Had dinner at engine canteen (again) with cindy and yumin. I was so super starving and needed something yummy to reward myself after such a long day. So I ordered from a Indonesian stall a roast chicken set, which was super delicious. Lovely roasted chicken thigh with rice drenched generously with a thick and fragrant curry plus sambal chilli. I ate everything, right up to the last grain of rice(which is quite rare), except for the skin and the bones. I even found the space for a oreo mcflurry after dinner, a rare treat which never tasted so good before.

When I got home, mum had actually invited some friends for a bbq and offered me some food. Though I felt pretty full from dinner, the lovely succulent chicken wings which was roasted to such a nice golden colour looked too good to resist. The chicken wings found in bbqs(done by amateur cooks) are tough and normally an unappetising shade of either too black or too pale, but the meat of this one was so tender and the skin so crispy that I once again polished down everything, skin and all.

Pheww.. I am feeling so stuffed now..time to get down to work...
