trivia nightcan't say i know alot about trivia, but surprisingly we pulled ahead of the med (ahem! the area's best and brightest lol) teams and the adults, and even the older randoms and stuff. hehe. those med students could be taken down a peg or two anyway. not ALL knowledge is scientifically or mathematically based anyway.
it was a pretty satisfying feeling watching all the groups being announced from the bottom (ha) and feeling very smug. at the start of trivia night, i was all ready to lie down and accept defeat already. come on - of all the randoms that turned up, half were med students, throw in a couple of commerce/law students you get a whole lot of brains on one table. mind you, brains and not much else anyway. but anyway, i suspect the reason that we actually got a fair go at winning was because the questions weren't all that challenging, but more random. like, REALLY random e.g. what is the golden ratio?
yeah, the whole table went silent except for harry. he exclaimed and snatched the paper away with much enthusiasm and wrote down the ENTIRE EXACT VALUE for the golden ratio.. it was like 1.6330993 or something .. or 1+ root 5 / 2 or something like that. my jaw dropped.. yes, i was swept off my feet in a completely new sense at that manic little genius residing in harry's head. rawr.. there was a history segment, that was alright.. yeah but it was a BIT shocking when the first question was ' what year did singapore attain self government?' and then everybody stared at me.. (so much pressure directed at me!) while i squirmed in my seat and tried to pretend i was malaysian ._. mm. then we had.. tv/famous faces/music/bible/nerd/current affairs.. what else.. hmm. trying to remember. haha score one in the nerd segment for me coz i've read pride and prejudice. obviously priscilla pretty much singlehandedly finished off the bible section..;p
i feel like being smarter. oh, my room is carpeted (hooray!) and tomorrow i begin the very tiring process of assembling my furniture. im munchie now but i don't know what to get =( today i nearly got run over by a car.. such a retard, i swear i felt shaky after that.. coz it was raining like freaking icy cold today.. (what is with the weather? 36 degrees lovely and sunny and it turns into.. like.. 11 degrees) it was freezing so i was trying to cross buchanan to get to lansdown, and i checked one side.. but i forgot the other.. i swear the car stopped like.. 5cm away from me.. omgomg. calmly walked across to the other side of buchanan but in about 2 mins i was shaking and my heart was pounding. freaking scared the crap out of me. oo. last outcome (cept for english) of the year! methods surprisingly didn't go TOO hard even though i've nearly ignored it.. yay :D
ugh.. the car thing really.. REALLY scares me.. and then i came home and hit parent troubles. but what else is new. in .. 2 days my beloved grumpies will be here in melbourne! yippeeee. i cant WAIIIT. btw i discovered it's not just me, my mum does have the incredible ability to bring tears of frustration and sickness and whatever to anyone.. coz i realized it happens to my sister too only on a smaller scale. o.O what a talent.
