Cool! I've visited 9 countries, which translates into 4% of this little sphere of water and land that's located in the big big universe! Hrm. Wonder how many more I'll get to explore within my time here...

Attempted my lab assignment for computational science... You know that butterflies-in-your-tummy, sweaty-palms feeling? Well, I don't have sweaty palms (ok, out of point), but boy did my stomach churn as I tried drafting out the programs for each question (a grand total of TEN, described as a form of revision for the last module). Why do I put myself through this..? *groans* I get all tense and nervous just looking at the questions, wondering how on earth I'm gonna pull through this semester cos I'm taking this module alone. And Booth's algorithm. What is THAT?! Lecture notes serve little help in explaining the approach proper... Wish Zhiyun was taking it with me, at least there was always someone to discuss the lab questions with, or at least be beside me during lab itself... Gargh.

Not only that, I was kicking myself silly last night after realising that I'd forgotten about my first lab which was on last friday, on TOP of a make-up lecture on tues... Thank God that the lab assignment's due date is actually on the 28th instead of during the lab itself... :-/

*keep on swimming, keep on swimming...*
