another week passes

hehehe theoretically im supposed to have absorbed 3 weeks of a microeconomics 233 unit by now... which is pretty funny because today was the 3rd day i went to the uni in the 3rd week.
10 contact hours now and well i still dont have a clue what the heck an indifference curve is... it's sad but well one really cant be expected to remember a first year unit did in the first semester.
then again, there was abit of ashamedness on my part in the first 3 hours of lectures last monday as i couldnt remember what the heck utility was....(micro 101 seems so far away)...
anywayz we had the first tute today, and contrary to New Year's Resolution # 34 (Thou shalt do thy tutes at least 24 hours before the actual tutorial session in question), hahaha yeah i finished the tute a good 15 minutes before the session (oh come on, i was only late by 23 hours and 45 mins).... well actually i didnt finish it... i left the first question blank, and the 3rd one (out of 7 i think).... yes i blame it all to the economic problem of "imperfect knowledge" :-P
but hey im sort of getting the gist of it... which is good because i think the mid-semester exam is next week (again... i hate these summer units... this is the only one i'm doing (General Resolution #1)
what else? hmm went to the city with DL today... saw YL at her workplace... hahaha disturbed her a little, crowded up the store, got in ppls way etc etc (not on purpose btw... the store is small) yeah so it was cool... had my first cup of bubble tea in yonks (dont really miss it actually)
we sat in the store for an hour, just talking abt stuff... hahaha it's good to have a meaningful conversation once in a while ehh... yeah so i'm now contracted to give him guitar lessons, which is really cool :-P... even though i dont think i'm good enough to give lessons atm but yeah as in most things, i'll "wing it"... i think he can pick it up to the point where he can play most songs in abt 2-3 months i think ehh if he practices daily that is...
anywayz it was cool hanging out for a few hours in the city, really ... just to relax, not to be cooped up at home

what else did i do?
hmm sunday had church as usual... broke a string in the middle of the service (painful because i had just changed them a fortnight ago... well at about $5 a string it's very "sum thoung/ sakit hati" lah... yeah good thing we had another acoustic yesterday (Thanks JW... nice plucking btw :-D... someones been practicing)....
and yes, it was the "G" string hahaha... (sorry hahaha i knoe that was very immature, man and i turn 18 this year...)
afterwards went to Nando's for lunch... where hahaha i started sweating firstly because there was like no air-cond in there, and it was uncomfortably hot and humid that day. secondly, well hahaha i take after my father in many ways (more or less same height-i'm an inch taller, similar voice, etc etc... let's hope i didn't get the receding hairline though :-P)... and one of those is the propensity to literally sweat a bucket at the mere whiff of spicy food. for the record, i can take chilli and other spicy stuff pretty well, and when i sweat, hahaha its not because i'm in pain (probably pleasure.... i like my food hahaha :-P) yes but because as i said earlier, i take after my father in many ways... but yes it was embarassing hahaha like i was really sweating....
anywayz hahaha we toasted "Da jie" there... but stopped short of totally embarassing her :-P
yeah cheers to our safe driver
later followed Roo as he gave TE a driving lesson.... hmm those hill stops... i have nothing to say hahaha yeah... his car has a very weak first gear (all the best for your Practical Tim!!! then u can drive me around hahaha)
later went to play basketball .... we had enough for 5 on 5, but hahaha well i would have shot the first person who suggested a full-court game... (bearing in mind i had half a greasy chicken in me at the time)... and i gave my usual virtuoso performance... hahaha i stank... one rebound in one hour, a few intercepts (that was before i started to tire about 3o minutes in... as i said, im not particularly close to fit), one basket, tons of misses (including one that bounced off the side of the board, with the corresponding S*&t of course :-P, am still a Work in Progress to say the least hahaha), misplaced passes, travels, foot fouls hahaha and so on... well its not really a game i play often to be honest... :-D that will be my excuse for stacking it under no pressure at all 5 minutes into the game...
yeah anywayz it was fun... but to be honest, serious self-doubt came when i was passed the ball directly under the basket, and was covered in err.... many sweaty arms and ... bodies... urghh *involuntary shudder*.... yeah .... am still abit scarred hahaha
but hey it was fun... well at least that's what i told myself when i was dripping in other people's sweat... after that incident under the basket *shudders again*
but i keep telling myself this "you had fun" :-P (New Year's Resolution # 15: "Try to see the good/funny in any situation,")... and anyone who saw Jeff sink the match-winning basket would have to say that the look on his face was abit.... disconcerting... hahaha to say the least man...(lucky he was on my team)... yeah abit freaky hmmm... hard to believe it was the same guy who was playing bass in the church service (joking only).... all the pent-up aggression hahaha yeah all in good fun... as they say: "its all fun and games till someone loses an eye, then it's a sport"... well hahaha alot of glasses got knocked off various faces during the game (part of playing with Asian guys is that everyone wears glasses hahaha)... oh wait, mine still has traces off Roo's sweat on it :-O (after the incident)... OH S *^t I HAVENT CLEANED THEM YET!!!... EWW!!! (*runs off to sink*)
ok back now *breathes easier*
well yeah it was a pretty interesting weekend/monday yes... interesting
(and on that slightly disconcerting note, i hope everyone has a good week) :-P
