Yay, the long weekend will be here soon!
After a micro/macroeconomics crash course yesterday and today - I feel like I have reabsorbed a teeny bit of econs knowledge... Sadly, many other concepts/ stuff I've learnt are but distant memory :(

Though I still have to work after the course, at least I saw some 'daylight' yesterday, reaching home by 7pm! And I came home yest to a beautiful sunset... Sadly, half the sky had turned dark by the time I whipped out my cam... why is miss sunset so shy...

"Red sky in the evening"

Would also like to share an interesting video on what motivates us - it's something we watched in class yesterday. The arguments are interesting but ideas not entirely ground-shattering lah. But I thought the cartoonist was amazing... :P (bleah, dunno why YouTube video is oversized)

I've about to dive into a crazy week - Going on a 6-day Econs course from Tues onwards; while it's nice to have a "break" work will also inevitably pile up! I'm somewhat apprehensive that when sitting thru the week's lectures I would realise that I barely retained anything from college. But another part of me is looking forward to the course, as it would be nice to get myself un-rusted and learn more about how economic concepts are applied in the local context.

It's the halloween weekend and yest evening I picked up an IS mag at Heart Bistro. They had a feature on all kinds of phobias... and a top 10 list of weird ones. This is pretty bizarre -

Arachibutyrophobia - Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth

What about the fear of cheese sticking to your teeth?? You know, when biting into sandwiches with slices of cheese in them... Wonder if there's a phobia for that. Heh.
