Rain, rain go away...
It's pretty depressing when the first thing you see everyday when you wake up is dark grey skies, endless thunderstorms and infinity droplets of rain...
Yup, it supposed to be Chinese New Year, yet the rain keeps pouring down like there is no tomorrow. There were a few places that have been victimized by the recent heavy downpour - Johor, Negeri Sembilan and Kelantan. Hopefully, Terengganu won't be next in the list or else I have no idea how are we travelling back this Wednesday for reunion dinner.
It's already bad enough that there are no proper tarred highways back to my dad's hometown, getting stuck in the middle and being forced to turn back would be even worse..
Have a pretty lame semester break and was pretty unproductive... Am still stuck with the same old chapter on Cournot Nash equilibrium.. i can't believe I have actually forgotten all about these things that I have studied last two semesters.. Guess what, I found out that the next series of Industrial Economics is an open book test. Am not really sure whether it supposed to be a good or bad thing but am looking forwards for it. Looking at the bright sight, at least I'm able to refer to something if I were to forget but then again with two hours time limit, I doubt I could do much of "Ctrl + V" on my test paper. If anyone has tips of how to ace an open book test, please do let me know because you might be able to save my life.
Watched two episode of Crime Scene Investigation and Life as We Know It movie yesterday. I know, I supposed to be revising but somehow was totally not in a mood to read anything (And yes, am blaming it on the weather, so sue me).
Something triggered me to watch CSI a week ago when I read that Justin Bieber was a guest star in one of the episodes.I Youtubed one of the previews, and man I think JB should just stick with singing and dancing.Got to tell you, I was totally horrified that MTV's gonna produced a movie on him!

He's definitely not a born actor... Actually, he kinda remind me of Taylor Swift's B rating act in Valentine's Day a year ago. I mean, she and Lautner do make a cute couple on screen and all... But honestly, her acting sucks, literally ! To clear things up, I'm not a JB or TS hater. I love their music, just not their acting. Somehow, it kinda reminded me of comparative advantage theory in Economics back in Year 1 - do the things that you do best and trade among each other, well in this case, collaborate and entertained. Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift do have comparative advantage in singing, not absolute advantage in everything. Hell, if they do try to act in movies or series, they might caused a serious misallocation of their resources talent.
Good looks do not define good acting talent. Ditto.
Anyways, it's so good to hear from Shaun again. We were supposed to meet up this Saturday for a high school reunion night. It's great that most of the members are around - Vishnu, Suresh, Brian, and Raymond. Heck, I haven't seen that guy in years...Am so looking forward to the gathering.. If I could wish for one thing, I would have turned back time and relived high school. All the crazy stuff we used to do together in class.. oh, how I missed them!
