I'm craving soup, but I shall settle for KitKat instead. My cough tells me no, my ulcer tells me no, but my stomach tells be yes. Having phlegm sucks. I can't even breathe without having the urge to cough.
I spent half the day watching Whose Line. I laughed a lot. 6 episodes of season 1, to be exact. All because I'm getting disgusted at Walt. He turn from badass to just bad. Familiar? It's just like what happened with Gustavo, and guess what? He died. So I don't crave for the next episode of Breaking Bad. It's just like a waiting game now -- who is going to die next?
I just organised a classic rock playlist on Grooveshark. I couldn't find any songs by The Beatles. Copyright, I guess. I guess I like the classic rock songs because it's like a game of identifying a song not from my generation.
Started on my IR essay. I'm really interested in this subject now. It's far more interesting than the rest of the subjects. Haven't touched any work other than IR and ESAP this weekend. Damn this cold. And the weather was bloody warm the past few days, too!

Lumia 920
The Nokia Lumia 920 is coming out! It looks so nice, and less oddly-shaped than my present N8. Actually, it looks a little like my Dad's Sony Xperia 10, hopefully not as wide.
I'm pretty excited about the PureView camera. I hear it's going to be gorgeous. I've been more than satisfied with the N8 12MP camera, but my hand has never been steady. So my photos don't turn out fantastic. Hopefully the OIS in the Lumia is an improved version.
One bad thing with smartphones nowadays: they've drifted away from supporting FM. No receiver/transmitter means no radio on-the-go for me, because I don't have a data plan and I don't plan to sign up for one. One good thing about the Lumia is the free Nokia Music Store streaming. I just hope it's not a 1-year subscription with no way of getting back the music after you change both your computer and your phone (like the case for my Comes With Music 5800).
The weight of the device puts me off, however. My N8 is already heavy at 135g. The Lumia is going to be 185g. That's almost a 40% increase in weight. Well, at least there's a (much) greater increase in the CPU speed and RAM. I suppose the only accurate way to compare this is if you compared it to other popular smartphones in the market.
With all that's said and done, I'm looking forward to getting the Nokia Lumia 920, but it sucks that I can't recontract with Starhub until May 2013. That probably means that I won't be getting the Lumia 920. Did I really wait THAT long after the release date to get the N8? Argh. I don't even remember my N8 being so new. Well, I don't NEED to change my N8. I've just fallen in love (at first sight) with the Lumia 920, that's all.
Would Nokia send me a free Lumia 920 if I promise to provide regular feedback to them? Pretty please?

Breaking Bad
As much as I like Breaking Bad, season three was... quite bad. But I see things picking up in season four! Hooray! Now, to... stop... urge... to watch... MOAR!
On to business:
It's Monday tomorrow, which means one thing... S-K-O-O-L. One good thing is that we have Friday off. It's International Relations (IR), which means less stress for the week, but somehow it means it's less interesting too. I'm really a noob at this IR thing. Gotta catch up soon! Read, read, and read. *sighs* And what's worse is that you have to take what you read with a pinch of salt. Just like what we did in PW in J1. Except this time, I don't really have the knowledge in the current affairs to really judge how good/terrible each article is in terms of its credibility. Reading user comments is SUCH A CHORE because some of them are REALLY biased. Like Puppet Walter says, "pisses me off".
Actually, I'm pretty satisfied with the subjects I've chosen this year. The non-compulsory ones are pretty interesting, even though I will probably have a hell of a time during exams, trying to recall and write. Hopefully, I can relate the rest of the equations in Valuation and Securities Analysis (VSA) to logic. Just had a breakthrough on Free Cash Flow yesterday. I UNDERSTAND! Whoot~!
ESAPsychology and Financial Intermediation (FI) are pretty boring sometimes, but when you focus, the content in ESAP is really quite interesting. I'm learning about things like Responsibility Diffusion, etc. And, boy, are they true or what! Too bad I couldn't get into FASS that time. Then again, I'm not interested in Bio. Haha, you can't get the best of both worlds.
Oh, and looky here, apparently, "Intermediation" isn't recognised as a word ("recognised", too). Meh.
I've got to stop writing/typing "convoluted sentences" and shift to concise ones. Maybe I've got a thing for commas. I don't know. Oh, look! I'm cured!

[Late] Junk Mail
Received an email from my dad. I almost freaked it. Turns out it was junk mail. Haha...
[Late] It's just a dream, it's just a dream
Try a situation when someone in the room says, 'There's a dead person in this room' and you are wondering who he/she is. You realise that you are listening to a lady standing at the front of the room. The lady is holding a relatively thick book (no prize for correctly guessing what the book is) and leaves an impression that she is representing a religious body.
She says that today, they were changing the contents of the book she was holding. People are all gathered inside the room listening to her. She goes on to say that this would thus be a day where strange things happen, which is partly why there is a dead person among the group. The lady warns everyone about the foreboding disaster and tells them to evacuate the room to safety.
Somehow, everyone in there (including you) understands that the dead person would not be able to move far from the room, to safety. Everyone stands up and files for the exit after grabbing their bags by the left front corner of the room. You join them and are now carrying bags of things in your hands, like many others.
Everyone is trudging on in something that isn't easy to walk on, but they are still moving forward, away from the presumed danger. You try moving with them, but fail. You can't seem to move your left leg, however hard you try. You think that it's probably an obstacle that everyone just seemed to be facing and conquering more easily than you. You try harder and harder, but your left leg hurts and seems to be caught in a trap of some sort, but you don't see a trap.
A person overtaking you simply says "I know who the dead person is."

Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie
I was surfing through Youtube, looking at classic songs. So I chanced upon American Pie. So nostalgic. So I searched for it on Grooveshark and started playing it, out of all the other songs I've added. The song lasts for 8 minutes and 34 seconds. Oh, My, Gosh. I was still wondering why the song was still playing after so long. This is so amazing.
It's another feel good song (I haven't really listened to the lyrics, don't judge me!) As far as the lyrics go, only 2 lines stuck: 1. Bye, bye, Miss American Pie. 2. This will be the day that I die. But that is really enough to remember the song by.
Actually the old songs craze stemmed from finding David Armand's dance interpretation of Don't Stop Me Now (THAT's definitely a feel good song), and it sort of went on from there.
I love feel good songs!
