FINALLY. i can update. my computer had been plagued by some virus and i couldn't access the internet at all. sent it to the computer repair dude who brought it back today.

SRJC's been alright so far. there's much more skipping of lectures and sleeping in the study area now [that's what makes it alright]. i went for the soccer try outs today with ben. guess what! we both didn't get in! no surprise there. but i guess we had fun anyway. i only got one touch of the ball and i passed it to the feet of some guy who didn't bother to return it to the sender. ben did one bone-crunching tackle on one of the guys who eventually got selected. he really can slide someone to death. it was rather difficult to prove yourself cause you wouldn't get much of the ball since everyone else was trying to prove themsleves worthy by making solo runs from one half of the pitch to the other. there weren't many lamers, surprisingly. but anyway, ben has the MALAY CULTURAL SOCIETY to fall back on while i have ELDS.

it was the funniest thing. ben saw the MCS lamers doing dk barat or whatever and he thought that it was some band thing. so he went to sign up. then he had realised he had joined a lamer club so he tried to cancel his name but i guess they were so hard up for members [not to mention ben's lamer-like looks] that they didn't allow him to do so. hence, ben is now officially one of the lamers.

it's been a little over a week since my maid left. it's been rather taxing trying to adjust to domestication. i have had to hand bleach my uniform every day since i only have two sets. so, my right hand has the perpetual smell of chlorine. it's not really nice to have the smell of an alkaline substance etched into your skin, especially for a dude. cause dudes also excrete an alkali substance upon, ahem, so yeah. it's quite gross. for the ACFC people, it's not because of daily 'snake playing'. my domestication process has also exposed the klutzy side of me. i was pouring freshly boiled water from a kettle into a jug the other day, when the lid came off and spilled the boling mass of transparent liquid onto my left hand. at first it hurt, and i withdrew my hand instantly. then, after a while, there was no pain. i thought that it was because i was not seriously scalded but then i realised that i had destroyed the nerves and receptors on the surface of my skin. hence, the lack of pain. all i have now is this mark that looks like a really bad sun burn. not to mention the lack of feeling in the purplish area.

Risen Christ Superstar is coming up. hope we do well and maybe even win. 'I Don't Know' might just go places.
