i know i'm supposed to be working now, but i realised i haven't said my piece for the day.  Plus, there's really nothing much to prepare for tomorrow. i have like 3 slides, 5 minutes. i will prepare after i'm done, and make sure there aren't any grammatical errors in my 3 slides.  And. after re-reading my boss' sms, i realise all it says is that i have to tell my facilitators tomorrow "eh if you are not sure, don't anyhow answer queries ok. got any questions, ask boss to answer." I don't think that is beyond me, or will take more than 5 minutes.


So. with the right dosage of coffee and procrastination for work, i can be pretty prolific i.e., preferring to post my random thoughts than work.  In the sweltering sg heat, i am reduced to singlets and shorts, after the 2nd bath for the day.  feels like in ntu where frequent bathes were necessary for any engineering undergraduate to keep sane in the heat solving pde tutorials or, at the later part of the uni days, fourier and laplace transformations.

Damn i thought i had sunblocked my arms, why am i peeling.

Watched the Diminishing (read: 'dinimishing') Memories I & II on friday. It's two indie documentaries by a local producer/director/narrator... Basically it's about her memories of the old Lim Chu Kang kampong, what has become of it, and a bit on the struggles of the 'traditional/original/production' and 'new age/modern/showcase' farmers in sg-Lim Chu Kang.  Was not from Lim Chu Kang, so nostalgia wasn't exactly what i felt watching it.  But it did made me think about memories, and how they fade. Hence the need for photos, blogs, documentaries, video clips. And the The Resident Tourist comic strip too, mentioned a bit of mix tape - which is a compilation of the songs you like lumped into one tape. I should take more photographs then, so that in a few years' time, i will know what happened to my life.  You'll be surprised how little you can remember without such aids.
