i figured i do have 2 min to blog about this. Gmail chat automatically turns your horizontal smilies the right side up!!! just a tiny feature, but extremely cute.

the above is a total rip-off from a Carlton card i saw at Target. but I was too cheap to actually buy it... sorry i'm 'cheating' but i absolutely have no time to do anything for anyone really so drew it to wish everyone who visits this blog a Happy Valentine's! (hehe not wasting it too and giving original to Courtney for being really sweet to me when i visited) i thought it was kinda cute. i'm stuck on every one of you in a friendly kinda way you know =) thanks for bothering to find out what's going on with me... i might not be in frequent contact with each and every one of you but all of you occupy some spot in my heart! =)
prob wun hear from me for rest of week though cos i am unfortunately in quite a dire state for research... so ya.

(V-day) commercialism

i couldn't resist blogging about this. hmmm i really dun get how looking alike makes couples bond... apparently some Shanghai couples don't think so... Imagine this... hey why dun we get matching eyes or noses for V-day?
i like how the report ends with this subtle line: The China Consumers Association has warned that there are an average of 20,000 complaints of disfigurement from plastic surgery each year.

sometimes heart attacks can come at the most unexpected and inappropriate of times... but fortunately my heart isn't as faint as it used to be and i'm happy that i can at least deal with issues with sufficient maturity to emerge a better and also happier person... unfortunately this week heart shall be subject to other attacks such as panicking over deadlines. the most worrying thing in mind right now is first draft for thesis due on Friday. (nothing has been written so far!) doesn't help that i hav major problem set due on Thursday... technically can burn midnite oil on Thursday night, but i don't want to end up all lethargic for Fri afternoon session at CHAI and ruin another opportunity to build up a good relationship with my new kid... so lotsa time juggling to do here...
