How To Destress Before A Test
Clean the microwave oven. You'll be killing 2 birds with one stone. You know what the 2 birds are :p
It worked!! I have tested it :D :D
It worked!! I have tested it :D :D

I am supposed to be cramming my brain with information about matrices and difference equations right now... I realise now (a little too late) that I should have started studying earlier :s
I know that tonight, I will be dreaming about vector spaces, spanning vectors, bases, jordan matrices and everything else that I despise with every bone in my body :( I should start praying sometime soon... Hopefully God will be kind to me? And give me easy questions in the test :p Though looking at it realistically, the test questions would have been set awhile ago. So even divine intervention is not going to help me here... As a last resort, I must call on the sheer power (hehe :p) of my brain to pull me through this yucky ordeal. Blegh!!
Ok, I've wasted enough time here. It's back to work for me now...

“Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.”

The last verse from a poem called 'We Are Made One with What We Touch and See' by Oscar Wilde.
I'm not really into poetry... Too deep for me. But this bit, I really like :D
We shall be notes in that great Symphony
Whose cadence circles through the rhythmic spheres,
And all the live World's throbbing heart shall be
One with our heart, the stealthy creeping years
Have lost their terrors now, we shall not die,
The Universe itself shall be our Immortality!
... Even though it doesn't rhyme :p

Expressions
Isn't it interesting how people express themselves through their msn messenger nicknames or facebook status updates?
The normal ones with no hidden meanings are okay. But the ones that so obviously have hidden messages really catch my attention.
You can tell that some of them are probably too shy to externalise some of their emotions but instead find solace in teasing their friends with intriguing nicknames and status updates. Seriously! There is no better way to pique someone's curiosity than to have something like "can't get you out of my mind" or "primal urges" in your msn nickname. Ok, so people do that all the time. But why??? I keep going around in circles trying to figure this out. If you don't really want people to know about it, why make it so blatantly obvious to everyone? Or does the person obtain satisfaction from the fact that his/her friends know something, but not enough to complicate matters?
Just as of now, I can count more than 10 of my friends who have msn nicknames that have my curiosity at the maximum level. Let's not even talk about facebook statuses (what is the plural for status? Stati? Statae?)
All I have to say is Gah!
But then, I sort of understand where all this is coming from, after all I do it sometimes too. Only mine are more boring than others :p

How Cool Is This?
I was flipping through the Times newspaper (yes, the British one :p) and accidentally found an article about this dude. He's apparently 1/4 Japanese and 3/4 African American and he's a huge hit in Japan!
I must say that his voice is pretty good :p But I wouldn't go so far as to call myself a 'fan'. I just find it interesting.
His name is Jero...
