Today, besides being the birthday of our "dear" Ketua Pengawas **cough cough**, Mr Fan Ray Aun, let us also remember the lost ones of 9/11. The innocent people and the heroes who never gave a thought to themselves as they tried to save them.
A moment of silence in your hearts please...

Okay.
I just learned a very important lesson today.
Dominoes' Pizza Chilli Flakes are ACTUALLY spicy. Like really really spicy.
Unfortunately, it took me 8 packets of it on a 2 X 2 inch piece of pizza for me to realise that.
My mouth felt like someone had poured napalm in it and set it alight.Or as a Bangladeshi guy once described about their indigenous chillies.
"It feels like DYING"
I went through 1 cup, 1 can of Sprite and a Slurpee before it went away, and mind you I was sipping the whole time.
So that, Ms Koh, is why I looked tired in the canteen. Because my mouth had stopped dying.

As of today, I still haven't begun immersing my head in the sea of studies.
I guess I'll have to wait for the jolt to come before the message hits home.
Remember Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth? A frog, when dropped in hot water, will immediately leap away. However, the same frog, when placed in water that is slowly heated, will remain there, until.....someone saves it.
And now, I am the frog.
Why do we always have to face a sudden threat before we react? Why has evolution given us this system, which worked okay when we were still not at the top of the food chain, but is really bad in the modern world with its abstract threats and what not.
I could if I would and I probably should.

If I, let them go I'll be outdone. But if I, try to catch them I'll be outrun.
