i just discovered this brilliant site... http://rts.berkeley.edu/rhapsody/ and i signed up since there is a free introductory offer now till Oct 31... and i have been browsing through the huge collection it has!! it's so cool... i found songs that i used to listen to.. songs that i want to listen to now... even found stuff like the sound of music sountrack. whole albums.... i can 'download' as many as i want to my 'online station' then if i want to burn a song i'll hav to pay $0.79 per song.... really quite cool. have spent the past few hours listening to the most random things too... haha ti's like 2.41 am now i had better get some sleep soon actually...
dunno why but i have been very on about music all of a sudden in the past few days... maybe to keep myself occupied whenever my mind starts to wander.... =)

all gadgets are failing me! my good old fluorescent light bulb fused two nights ago, and when i was trying to not procrastinate and fill up my whole Washington DC application this morning and the internet suddenly dc... and i realized that there was an power outage... sigh. feel slightly irritated... now i hav to type everything over again.... =(
i have many things to do, but i'm not exactly doing them... astro 10 hw, jap word quiz and honors thesis project are on my list for tomorrow.... aaargh. i could hav run some regressions on my own at home... but i chose to just like dunno do what and slack... and as a result i foresee a long long session just running various regressions in the library tmr.... =( and i decided to perhaps go see Craine and ask about my thesis topics... but then perhaps i coudn't really explain myself very well, he seemed pretty muddled about what i wanted to do as well and just said some general things... and i dunno i just felt so eeky.... should hav thought things out more properly before going for office hours.
there is this elections 2004 class that seems really really interesting! but it's a grad journalism class... wonder if i shoudl take it for fun....
sigh. ok i am due for 1.5 hrs of lecture. and another 1.5 hrs of intellectual discussion on state making.... and then perhaps will go for jap office hours or attempt to do a bit of my astro hw such that i dun die tmr...

last night i was on the verge on getting emotional and depressed all over again but then it was good that there were nice distractions.. =) got an email from a 'guo ke' and was really pleasantly surprised! then this morning i checked my long-abandoned hotmail account and found an email from a p sch teacher sitting in my inbox.... albeit with only two sentences of like how are you doing? hope you are doing fine... i felt really warm inside. =) so.... this morning i xin xue lai chao and decided to send a mass email to a few of my good frens back in sg, US and UK... i had better keep this up and pull myself out whenever i lapse into a hmm ok i am going to brood kinda mood... =)
it's getting rather cold now, too cold for comfort. and it acutally rained early this morning... and haha believe it or not, the first thing that came to mind when i was half asleep was... aargh!!! i just washed my car yesterday!! =( but then i fell asleep seconds after..
had a mini mooncake festival celebration at shiying's place yest... and to our amusement discovered that the real thing is actually next week. which explains why there was no full moon... well, according to jacqui or jacqui's mum, it was the Chilean national day... haha. most of day wasted yesterday... (but for (a) good cause(s)) better work hard today!
