interesting day. couple of lessons learnt... only one of which is important enough to warrant recording here.




sometimes one should just stop asking. really!




oh yeah, i guess another one, also of paramount importance, is : I must stop needlessly sacrificing my pieces just because i think i can mate with just a queen and a rook. y'never know when a bishop and a knight (HORSE!) are gonna come in handy.



who knows how many games i've lost because of that kinda stupidity? and let's not forget my largely-abortive (always hyphenate - it only counts as one word if you do) "experiments".



Chess, people. I recommend it most highly.




In Other News (ION?? rotlmao :D)
attended several career guidance talks today - and if you're interested, no, they didnt provide much guidance at all. all i learnt from the first was that i can be a feminist helpline counsellour with just my 'O' level cert. um. right!!

of greater import was the Law talk - well it was really a dialogue session, which ms yeow most intriguingly was not a part of. i wonder why?

could it be that (Oh say it isn't so!) she ISN'T an ex-lawyer? By Heaven, surely such a thing cannot be? would one such as her lie about so trivial a thing? Thrice nay, ye cry!

but anyway. one of the speakers (who i STILL reckon is gay despite being married with kids - the poor bastards) mentioned that what keeps his interest alive is the constant thrill of spotting an opening one can exploit to win a case, argument, debate ecetera. this's very interesting, because that sort of constant demand on the intellect is EXACTLY what i was so psyched abt during Literature yesterday. once more i find myself contemplating Law.

its really ironic, coz all these years i've been steering away frm the wealth-and-supposed-happiness careers like Law and Medicine (goddamn doctors. no WONDER they're happy!! what other job lets you get some chick to take her clothes off, take your time examining her, and then send her husband the bill?!)



it was nice to be with the volleyball guys again actually. its been a while... didn't realise i'd missed them till i meet them again. y'noe how it goes.




y'noe that feeling you get when you're pissed and you don't know what to do abt it? try sleeping. it seems to disappear - at least it did for me :)



if it doesnt............... hey i ain't a psychiatrist (or is it psychologist? or social worker? or counsellor?)




Helpline number please!
