Just got back from my econs lecture, the lecture was at LT19A.
Nowadays i attend most lectures with my good friend Peiping. The lecture theatre was packed and many students were sitting on the isles on the lecture theatre. In fact, most of the isles were completely filled that there was hardly any space to walk. Found this photo of me and pp when we took it ard the same time last yr. This taken in the mrt while we were still in NS.

My friend Michael who is from the Philippines recently told me that he read my blog. I hope he didnt mind me writing comments abt foreign students in the previous entry especially the one about the China scholars. I got to know Michael recently through campus crusade.
Anyway i realised that contrary to the common perception of China students being nerds, there are the more modern ones who dress better and have better sense of fashion. In particular, there is one China girl who also stays in hall2 that is quite pretty. She is also from Engineering and same lecture grp as me. She wears clothes like addidas and there's this other China girl who has a tattoo on her back and likes to show it off by wearing bare back tops to lectures. Dunno how she can bear the air conditioning in the Lecture theatre when i have to wear a jacket and jeans because its really too cold in the LT sometimes. Anyway u might probably think that im some despo guy looking at gers during lectures, well to defend myself, I'll just say I like to describe the interesting things I see in school, it makes life more interesting.

Anyway for my friends who are studying in Australia now, latest update on some local news. Besides terrorism in Bali being the hottest news, the aedes mosquito has also caused alot of mayhem recently. In Bali, close to 30 pple reported dead because of suicide bombers. In Spore, 12 pple dead from dengue because of an insect.

This bloody insect reminds of my army days, where sitting at the guardpost I could kill at least 10 in an hour, all of them with white stripes. Recently, it dengue was so serious that someone stuck his head into a drain to get to the bottom matter. Well maybe he should try doing guard duty in NDU for a nite, or for that matter try spending a night in the bunks at UDG or dive school, it got so bad once that we had to wear our uniforms with socks to sleep. In our trainee days, some of us would wake up with bloodstains on our bed, no kidding. We would crush some mosquitoes while sleeping at night. One of my friend got dengue in UDG too.
In UDG, I brought up the problem about mosquitoes in the meet-the-commander dialouge session. Soon after, more fumigation was done and more drains were being cleared, but the mosquitoes still did not leave probably because there were to many potential breeding grounds for them that were left unturned. Meanwhile we had to put up the itchiness of the bites and the risk of getting dengue.
Nowadays, i hope that the Ministry of Environment would conduct spotchecks in NDU and go down hard on those pple sitting in their office while receiving a fat salary while the stay-in personals get bitten by the mosquitoes and risk getting dengue. Its always the case whereby situations get out of hand and then the authorities start to act when they could have been prevented. Bloody waste of taxpayers money those pple sitting in the office are...
