Exams results - a pretty lousy biomedical engineer but a biomedical engineer nonetheless.
But ah, at least the scare and suspense is over. Back to reality and finding something else worthwhile doing.
Meanwhile it's just kendo, swim, monitoring the emails and trying to find something worthwhile doing. Rejected the previous job since I thought it wasn't really worth the spur of the moment working while potentially having injuries due to kendo the day before work. Serving customers while having kendo foot problem definitely isn't gonna score points, so meanwhile I'm still waiting for tuition assignments to take up. And so far, those I've got aren't that good either so I didn't take them up. Still waiting.
Meanwhile, I've got my laptop prepped up for media editing - Audacity, Adobe After Effects, Photoshop CS6, Movie Maker, Sony Vegas 12, etc. All just waiting for that push of a button to start media work. Anytime.
...maybe I was getting ahead of myself. Anyways, to keep my holiday occupied, I've gotten myself a Logistics post for this newly set-up Big Martial Arts Carnival committee - but really, what I wanted was a publicity post, but ah well. It makes no difference, since I should be able to tank both sides of the work - what with the publicity cell - I prefer to call them "wings" - actually approaching me for help. So I said okay, and here I am. Really wanna get to working the late shifts, at least it'd give me something that I can say I can do best among all of my usual abilities that turned dormant ever since the holidays started.
Better throw me something worthwhile doing - I'm getting bored!

Chicken Essence and Scratch in the Face
Just got back from swimming. Leg is tired, but hey, that instructor is right - essence of chicken really does keep you warmer in water. Kim Fook had another method, eat a lot of meat for protein before swimming. Funny, I don't get as many cramps on my foot this time. Maybe it's that chicken essence...?
And argh, wherever I go, bad luck always follows. And it's not like I always do stuff like hang underwear over my head or walk around seeing black cats everywhere, you know. It's only my fifth day of using my New HTC Desire X and the screen's scratched for some reason after tossing it into my bag for the swim. Wanted to try squeezing my nutsack for that goddamned scratch to miraculously disappear, but nope, that ain't happening. It'd be making me even more stupid than I already am. Heartache.

New phone and data plan
Just wasting time in camp for now. Pretty much the same thing - day in, day out. Not for long. 5 more weeks to ORD. Gotta hang in there.
Just got my new HTC Desire X last week and, gotta say, this phone is a far cry from the old Samsung Galaxy Ace I got. Controls are different, but I like the Beats Audio more than anything else in this phone. And oh, the data network access. Data plan is friggin' addictive.
Only thing though, when I charge it, I gotta first kill all the applications running in the background - damned one time I couldn't get outta the house because I had 17% battery left. The apps sapped more energy than could be charged, apparently. I'll be damned if it happens while I'm off for important stuff in the future, but this is otherwise a good phone that I'll stick around with for a long time. Well, as long as there's no better upgrades for $0 that is. I'm a cheapskate.
