Hawaiian Mangoes SUX

the title sez it all. Buy Philippino mangoes everytime. The Hawaiian kind is not as sweet, the dried stuff tastes like sulphur etc etc. But when one is trying to write up a thesis proposal, anything mildly edible is gonna be eaten... I have to get me some gum.....

However, I think I'm finally done with the first draft of my proposal. I can't bring myself to read through that disgusting piece of sh*t so I can proofread it. Basically you say the same thing 3 times. First in the abstract, u give a brief summary of why n what u wanna do. Next in the backgrd, u give more info on why it's important to do what you wanna do, and refresh everyone's memory on what the hell it is again. In prelim studies, u tell them what u already did. Finally in research design, u give step by step instructions on how ur next 4 yrs are gonna be like. After a while, u sound more and more like a broken record. At the end of the 20 pages, u're SO SICK of the entire project, u wanna quit and go be a monk in Tibet.

Very Important Question: when u buy water at Safeway, what's the diff between 1)'purified drinking water' and 2)'purified spring water'? Is #1 purified sewage water? or purified reservoir water? One would assume that #2 is from some spring some where. but where exactly? The Ganges?

bored.

I'm really bored. Nothing seems to be interesting anymore. Lab is boring, wushu is boring..... I'm being sucked into the pits of ennui.... dunno how to get out. I wanna go skiing but I have no money.... plus I'm too lazy to drive. sigh. How now, brown cow? Mebbe I shd start playing Warcraft 3 again. At least I can have something to look forward to each day. I feel like one of those floating people in Chagall's paintings... drifting along amidst different hues and colors, things swirling around. Mebbe if I dig myself a nice deep dark hole, and move in, I will miraculously discover the meaning of life.

anyways. talkingcock.com had a pretty funny article about 'if singapore were to host the olympics', and the modifications we'd have to the sports. I think the best one was the modification to weight lifting: from a kneeling position, athletes have to carry their bosses' private parts. *grin*. *sigh*... sometimes when I think about S'pore, I feel very sad.
