♥ 3:57 pm
I've not really enjoyed my long weekend. But it's been good. I've had a break. I've picked up "Attila, The Judgement' by William Napier, and both my NUS Law textbooks for reading.
I think now that my audit's over, and there's not much to do (well at least not this week, with Combat Shoot coming up), i would like to continue my intellectual pursuits.
E.g:
Reading my law textbooks
Hoping that I'm selected to give this guy the combo tuition (S3 Phy, Chem, History)
And writing something good on this blog, which i don't think i have since 250108.
with the year winding down, and 36 days more till i board QR 639 for Doha (and QR84 for New York-JFK), i think this year (and the next) should go by faster.
But there's been a lot happening. Mostly economic, which unfortunately i don't have too great a grasp on.
and of course the election of Sen. (not President-elect) Barack Obama.
i don't really like the title President-elect. haha
Congrats to you, Sir. And although i didn't like John McCain's campaign, and particular thought the nomination of Sarah Palin was really dumb. I applaud his gracious concession speech. It showed real class and dignity. His supporters, though, aren't that gracious i think
I think it's unrealistic to expect Pres. Obama to fulfill every single one of his promises during the camp. I think some of them were just off-the-top-of-the-head stuff to get votes. I just hope that during this first 2 years of his Presidency, he revives America's place as the sole RESPONSIBLE AND MORAL world power. He revives America's reputation abroad. He seeks multilaterism, not unilaterism.
and i hope the economy picks up with him in charge.
So Palin '12? please go look at a map and find out that Africa's not a country, and that no one really cares about the province of Kamchatsky (Alaska's Russian neighbour)
haha
I thought Quantum of Solace wasn't that bad. Daniel Craig is actually a pretty good Bond, though much different from Pierce Brosnan. Managed to show the inner conflict between OO7 Bond, on Her Majesty's Secret Service, and Bond who can't forget Vesper.
Olga Kurylenko is just exotic. haha. Ukrainian actress playing a Bolivian Secret Service Agent? haha
Storyline way too fast. 6 countries no? haha
I'm just looking forward to Valkryie.
'Mein Fuhrer, may I present Oberst. von Stauffenberg.'
and the kid inside me is looking forward to Madagascar 2. especially King Julien XIII (Sasha Baron Cohen aka Borat), and the military penguins.
'Will it fly, Kowalski?'
'Yes, if you fold like this, this and this. (throws)'
'Nice.'
Oh yes and Avenue Q next Sun! can't wait.
The happiest thing that will happen to me will be when I hear this.
'Ladies and Gentlement, Qatar Airways flight 639 for Doha is ready for boarding. Passengers with infants are encouraged to board first.'
ahh my holiday has begun.
Or, it will be when i get a positive response.
This is the longest i've posted in quite a while.
