why wy?

my former classmate alvin has started a blog, and he briefly mentions what singaporeans are doing to get into the record books, like wearing balloon hats and making rojak (not at the same time, unfortunately). My own personal record is playing 10% of my ipod, yes, 572 songs, straight through on random, no playlists nothing. It took slightly over a week, listening to it as you would a radio, turning it off when you go out or watch tv. Putting this in perspective, it will be completely useless taking an ipod on a deserted island unless the coconut tree has a powerpoint. The play button has turned up some gems, songs I'd forgotten or don't get played enough, like christmas carols, bare naked ladies, radiohead, and some embarrassing ones that are heading straight for the recycle bin.
I had to take passport photos at the booth today for work, and it is not a good idea to put in your money THEN try and read the instructions when nothing happens. As a result, I have a really crummy first shot, then three surprised ones. Luckily they only need two.

Exams start tomorrow.
