Owww...

At first it felt like a pinched nerve. Then it has blossomed into a fist shaped bruised feeling at the base of my spine. Ouch. Can't sit long, think bag is too heavy.

Slept for 3 hrs respectively for the past two nites. Tried sleeping @ 5pm to 7 this evening, but got even more frustrated. Bloody hot even with the a/c on. Asked ben about it. Forgot that we face the east and the west, so it was the evening sun that tried to sizzle the a/c compressor. Not funny. :P

Completed my EED assignment. Argued against a male trainee today coz he wanted to skive and put the blame on the class. It was bad enuff that we couldn't bring laptop with wireless card (tutor thinks we dun want to) so she had to modify the lesson. Then this joker asks to 'negotiate' coz 'we've got lots of work/we've done this b4 (yeah rite)/we're gonna do it anyway for our project so it's double work/the time is better spent doing our project (who's he to decide?)/and a whole load of other crap. I spoke up, told the tut we're willin' to do it (coz she spent 2 hrs in the lib searching for resources for us to evaluate) and coz it's part of her responsibility to conduct this activity! Think about it - 6 weeks of school and the EL dept devotes 1 week (that's 4hrs) to this topic, and this joker wants her to scrap it? She's already been so nice - coz we din have the laptop, so she just took 1/2 hr to go thru the lecture with us, distribute the multimedia resource for us to evaluate and dismissed us -and come back on thursday for a 2-hr session just to present our evaluation. Scrap it? Why not NOT come to NIE at all? :P Sorry, blame the hormones, but that guys was just too much. Take advantage of old lady. Pui.

Anyway, people were glad that he was spoken against (i think there was one other who spoke up against him too) and he din seem to happy when he left. Hullo, this fella does over-the-top-work that tries to 'spoil market' then complain there's too much work. Sigh. People use transparency, he uses multipaged Word to present. A for effort, but dun blame the rest when skiving is desired. Like we dun have the ece assignment to contend with.

Had dinner with mum tonite. Disposable diapers or nappy? She said something that made perfect sense. Diapers make the baby feel one helluva good, and cause no complaints - thus everyone's happy. Problem comes during toilet training. They wouldn't know how to express when to go (like a young cozzie i haf whose mum thinks he's unable to do it) but they are so comfortable (in pee at least) that they dun have to say anything, unless it's the big one.

But, if it's nappy, once it's wet, it's uncomfortable and the kid would make noise. Once the association is established, it's much easier for them to associate where the wetness comes from and how to prevent it. It's just an earlier awareness i guess, for kids who aren't all that bright. (No dad, that's not flauwer, it's a special orchid called Dendrobium harveyanum.) :p

Well, smelly and dirty nappies for home then disposables when we go out. It's indeed cheaper. Hmm. I think I'll sleep over it.

Well, prac's at Temasek once again and Jamie spoke to me today. After that 'formal' conversation, i ran off and she called out for me not to run! I'm touched. :) Really.

Two more weeks, or rather, 4 more school days for me.

This thursday, next monday, tuesday and thursday (ELE/UET 3 min talk and lab test). BUT - FRIDAY - ECM DUE AND ECE DUE - individual and group for the latter. And I HAVEN'T STARTED. Oh, EED due on 24th April. It's a sweet semester. :)
