price paid for being a procrasinator

i wasn't in the mood of studying last weekend, so i ended up doing my bioinformatics assignment until 3am this morning. if it's not cos the due time for it is 10am this morning, i wouldn't have touched it i bet. anyway, this assignment is damn tedious: 10 marks in total (=10% of total course marks), 7 sections, in which there can be up to 6 questions and each question requires a great amount of work. i think i've spent at least 16 hours on this assignment, really crazy. some really hardworking ppl began to post questions up on the forum one week earlier, one of the forum's settings is, whenever someone posts a thread up or follows up a thread, what he writes will be automatically forwarded to all the forum members' email accounts. so my inbox was flooded by 100+ emails from the "hot" discussions... i have to manually mass delete them after the assignment was submitted... it is surprising that some ppl can be so keen about assignment and stuff. the person called daniella, stood out in the forum just cos in that 100+ chunk he contributed to at least 50...

bought some figs back. i always love to eat figs, the history of me loving figs can be dated back to primary 1. i stopped having figs as snacks right after i went to singapore. somehow the greek figs i bought today are not same as what i had years ago in china. sad. but nevertherless they are good. :)

i noticed this long time ago, but i really want to share it here now: the sparrows in toronto are sooooooooooo faaaaaaaaaat...... cuties cuties. i want to have a pet bird someday, i wish i don't have to cage it so it can sits on my shoulder. i know it sounds rather impractical. only if i could find such a smart bird. i always have weird thoughts on animal's intelligence. i was telling my friends some other day that i wish i could have a dog, who knows the necessity of going to the bathroom and picking up its dropping hair. but again, my friends just laughed their heads off at my extraordinary ambition.
