hello world.

sickness gone, projects up to par. :)
so ya, really nothing else to type, except...

yesterday.

i was at my dad's friend's place (exotic) for "lunch"--and it ended up being a six-hour binge-eating session :p

what i ate: onion, mashed potato, lamb, florentine steak, tomatoes, pizza, cake, prawns, fish. top that off with water, apple juice, pinot noir and chardonnay.

oh and i made my 1st 'professional' observations of the moon. the palm tree was my standard while taking the time lapse photos of its transit across the sky.

1930hrs.

note moon as per perspective to the tree. light still dominates the satellite. just past halfway between tree and roof.

1942hrs

sky has darkened very significantly. moon has moved sightly down right towards the bottom right of the photo. note more than halfway to roof.

1958hrs

sky has darkened to the point that palm tree is not clearly visible to the naked eye; roof edge illuminated by moonlight. note moon has moved even closer to rooftop. clouds not discernible.

2018 hrs

complete twilight. palm tree nearly indiscernible. moon heading in roughly same direction as the sun. 5/6 the way to roof. clouds surrounding visible.

2037hrs

clouds obscuring outer rims of moon. moon almost touches roof.

moon disappears above roof by 2050hrs. moon completely obscured by clouds by 2110hrs; moonlight still visible. moon lost from vicinity (not that the observation space was very large) by 2210hrs. observation ends.

---

yup that's it for today. i just hope i can make a more detailed observation using a more...suitable imagery device for such express purposes :)

till then!~

haiz. came back yesterday with a 39 C fever, a throbbing headache, chronic cough and a body which felt as though it has boxed 12 rounds with mike tyson. so yes, i am a) wearing a mask as i type, and also b) currently in a week long quarantine.

i'm kinda exhibiting flu-like symptoms, but most of that went away throughout my 20 hour sleep. my fever shot through the roof at midnight at around 39.8 C. thankfully its come down to a pretty normal 37.3 C. taking just about every precaution now...

so i guess my life will be pretty boring for the next week. nothing to blog about i guess. c'mon, how can blogging about lying in bed and bickering be remotely interesting?

so yes,
till then~

sunday sunday sunday...hmm lets see...

morning: headed to yishun (!) to help out at the sree navaradan mission centre with the class. nth much to elaborate on here, just some area cleaning, since we couldn't interact with the elderly because of H1N1. later an admin guy gave a quick tour of the place. Feelings of pity rose out of me....just slightly. after all, there are 2 sides to a coin.

later headed to the cathay to have lunch. and guess what we had... :)

yes! its none other than dear old ASTON'S! had prime sirloin with ibc rootbeer. medium rare. and quite frankly, i kinda like the blood. and since the movie was eons away, we sat. and chat(ted).

5.45. went to watch...

ice age 3! won't spoil it for those yet to watch it, but i can say its pretty quite decent. worth the watch, but perhaps just a tad ridiculous (before any ice age lovers flames me, it is good to note that a)i am NOT a critic, and therefore b) it is purely opinion). but honestly, it was DAMN funny.

by then it was very late, so went home with justin, and back to where i am now. because priscilla was ill today, i had to reschedule the meeting to nxt sun (i think...?) and so go out with my class tday instead :p.

get well soon pris (:

argh! unfinished work.
argh! results out throughout the week.
argh.

till then!~ :)):
