Is She Really Going Out With Him?

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street.

Is She Really Going Out With Him - Joe Jackson

Heh heh.

Work

Back to work. Forget Big Brother, he's a wimp. Darth Vader is watching.

It's not that I don't want to go to uni.

I do.

It's not that I don't want to be stuck in the lab setting up all the equipments with no one for company except for a decrepit transistor radio tuned to a talkback AM radio station.

I don't mind.

Not being able to leave the lab during the sputtering process as part of the safety requirement; which goes on for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Even more if something goes wrong.

Seriously, I don't mind.

But it was raining outside. And its 7 degrees.

No, wait. 4 degrees.

I don't want to arrive at uni in a shivering mess. My socks would get wet, and when my socks are wet I get grumpy.

You won't like me when I'm grumpy.

I'll still wear a smile on my face. But then, hypothetically speaking, someone makes fun of my helmet hair; I'll be off like Thomas the Tank Engine powered by a nuclear reactor.

Before I forget, Natalie would get wet in the rain.

Here she is getting wet out the back. And it makes me sad.

For those of you mocking at my inability to move on, here's more ammo for you. She looks a bit like Winona.

Pathetic.

Sorry

I apologise.

When I'm hungry and still stuck in the office, to alleviate (or exacerbate?) the hunger pangs I would surf the web looking at pictures of food. Glorious food.

Again, I apologise. I seriously need help.

Look away now if you're on a diet.

I need to change my shirt. Too many saliva stains.

Just found out that I am due to give an honours halfway talk in 3 weeks time. Why wasn't I informed of this earlier? Argh!!

Okay, let's be civil. Don't panic, before we start throwing chairs and pulling our hairs out why don't we all take a deep breath and calm down..

*inhale....

*exhale...

"Wan, I don't know how many academics will be attending your talk. They don't usually ask questions for the halfway talk but that rule seems to have been broken last year. Be well prepared."

ARGH!!

*kicking and screaming*

*shredding scientific journals*

*kicking a sleeping dog*

*urinating in public places*

After that seemingly act of wanton destruction, I am the picture of serenity now.

*birds chirping in the sky, a rainbow on the horizon, the smell of freshly cut grass*

From now on, I promise that there will be no more procrastination. Full steam ahead. Even if the house burns down, I will not budge.

Except when I'm hungry. Or The Simpsons is on the TV. Or a rugby game is on. Or the toilet paper runs out. Or when I need a new pair of socks. Or when I want a nice cup of latte with 2 sugars. Or when the weather is too cold.

Other than that, I would never leave my workspace.

Never.

Betul tu.

I did went back to KL for a week, it was not officially a break. Doing research is not as romantic as it sounds.

"A town is a thing like a colonial animal....How news travels through a town is a mystery not easily to be solved. News seems to move faster than small boys can scramble and dart to tell it, faster than women can call it over the fence."

By the way all the rumours that you heard about me, as to why I went back to KL is true. All true. Not denying any of it one bit.

Benda baik buat apa nak rahsia-rahsia.

*blushing


By the way, before it's too late.
