retrospective blogging

Firstly let me say that I will NOT be doing retrospective that often. It sorta defeats the purpose of a log of one's life yah? This entry is different because it was a promise, and I intend to keep it. It actually happened two days back during Sociology lecture. Haha...

I was pre-occupied due to certain other events happening in my life (cough..Mo..mo...cough, cough ^_^), which is why this post is belated. Wahaha.

Anyhow, I was sitting next to Xinwei during the lecture and we began to realise an interesting phenomenon that led us to believe that Xinwei may be the secret, illegitimate spawn of our Sociology professor. Why do we say this? Well, the lecture was on the ambiguous concepts of Race, Nation, Ethnicity, State etc. These vague terms which we often try to quantify by physical, or non-physical characteristics of people.

So the prof began to draw certain examples of famous people, and interesting trends that are present, or were present, to prove his point. The scary thing was this...Xinwei was able to predict and whisper to me certain key phrases BEFORE the prof actually said them!

From terrible references to Michael Jackson's skin colour, to the passe trend of hair rebonding, Xinwei managed to nail most of them. We then concluded that he was actually the 'mi mi tu di' (secret disciple) of Prof Tan, if not some (this is my opinion) specially grafted clone, raised from a tongue scraping yes? Wahaha.

On the whole, lecture was pretty entertaining. Sad to say, I dozed off, and stained my beautiful Abercrombie shirt with red ink! I was bitching about it to Vincent during the toilet break, amongst other things...I really was too sleepy man...

===================================================================
Anyhow, I've come to realise that retrospective blogging is not that fun unless you have some great life-changing philosophy that you wanna share. Sheesh. Will not attempt this again...sorry Xinwei, didn't do justice to our fun lecture on Wednesday.

Anyhow, today is Friday, so I am generally happy! ^_^

Will be healthsome and visit gym today. Tonight, the queen has summoned her brood home for a nourishing meal, and when she summons, you cannot deny her your presence. Dinner at home tonight! Woohoo!

Off to EL tutorial now! Byebye!
