lesson #240: I've got the sniffles

I have mastered the art of plucking my own eyebrows. The finish isn't quite as clean as professional trimming, but it's not bad. Can't stop staring at my eyebrows - playing with them now. Lifting the right one up and then the left. How fun!

Also found joy in taking the bus home during a public holiday. No competing for seats with the Singapore workforce, no frequent stops, and no traffic jam, which results in a comfortably breezy ride home. Ahh. Bliss. If only this was the case everyday. Driving schools will run out of business.

On the down side, today I was also plagued with bad luck.

1. I'm sneezing like mad. Soon people can swim in my nostrils, they are so watery. I'm grateful that the flu bug didn't get to me completely (fever not full-blown, sore throat didn't last), but it remains a pain in the ass. The best thing is, tomorrow I'll be auditioning for Funka while covered in snot. Excellent.

2. SMU has suddenly decided to lock me out of its network. I can't check my CAT midterm grade, I can't check my inbox (which will be overflown with spammers by now), I can't download a single course material. In short - fark. And this is really weird because yesterday night, I was checking my emails at home and my password worked fine, then suddenly this morning I was locked out of the WHOLE network because they wouldn't accept my password. This kind of thing only happens whenever you try entering a wrong password more than three times. But I haven't done anything to my password. So now I'm thinking of a list of suspects who could've tried accessing my SMU account. Looking for people with shifty eyes. Once I find the culprit I will make him (or her) shit in his pants by feeding him laxatives. Because you do NOT mess with me, especially when I'm covered in snot and irritated like HELL.

Or you know, maybe this is just one of CIT's fun little games. But I couldn't even beg them to help me because today is a public holiday and thus they are closed. I'll come barging in there first thing tomorrow. This is unacceptable. It is bloody 3 days away from the submission date of my Corp project. Fark.

3. Bought a bottle of mineral water from Kopitiam today. It smelled like decomposition. I thought it was just my watery nose playing with me but then I took a gulp and the water tastes like shit, not that I know what shit tastes like. But then I thought it was just my taste buds going wonky 'cos, you know, I'm all snot-filled and stuff. So then I asked Gary to taste it and he agreed that it tasted like shit. So guys, don't buy Kopitiam's bottled water. THEY SUCK. And if you drink them, you might get POISONED and DIE. I wouldn't know, I poured the water away before I could find out for myself.

4. It is now one day closer to Corp submission deadline and we're left with 1/5 of our project to be done. But that remaining 1/5 is the Mother Bitch. Which is why I have postponed looking at it until now, and I still didn't regret postponing because that thing... it is the Mother Bitch, y'all.
