in my absence from school yesterday, aom finally returned from ireland, and i hear he was delayed 'cos of a car accident, and from what i see i think he's recovered pretty well, even returning to school in interestingly moss-green sneakers rather than the usual leather loafers... 
it was refreshing going for my first econs class in weeks, and i must say we caught up pretty quickly... just 100 minutes and already we're on par with everyone else =)
but 'cos my basics aren't quite stable, i'll be attending his econs lessons during the sept break next week...
monday - microecons
wednesday - market failure
thursday - ntl income measures & econ devlmnt
friday - govt policies
i've got history lecture on friday right after econs as well...
so my plans for the next week are pretty much set in stone, and i'm supposed to study chem with han an too... 

and to pick up from my last post about HEROES, part of the cast will be in singapore this friday at vivocity, 3pm!
i'll be going down in the hope of getting photos/autographs of Ali Larter (the super-strong schiz), Sendhil Rammamurthy (the narrating professor), Greg Grunburg (Matt the mind-reader) and Masi Oka (the time-space bending jap)... 
this is the group that have just come from japan, while hayden panattiere(the invincible cheerleader), adrian pasdar (the flying politician), milo ventimiglia (the brother of flying politician with the power of mimicry) and jack coleman (invincible cheerleader's dad, also HRG man) do the european route (now in germany)...
the only missing main cast member is the excellent villain zachary quinto, who is busy filming the new star trek movie... 
and i've been recaping what happened in season 1, along with reading about new characters and plotlines... i'll have to find time to watch all 23 eps before sept 24...

another important date to keep in mind is sept 5 (or early in the morning of the 6th) as the Apple special event is set to be the unveiling of a new iPod, be it touchscreen or 3rd-gen nano, i can only speculate... 

oh and i've quite unhealthily jumped on my class' macs delivery bandwagon, cos i was sitting next to joash towards the end of history and i was craving some fried chicken... 
we are really getting quite adept at this routine... 

i'll be doing my TOK presentation proposal in class during tomorrow's 80min class 'cos i couldn't be bothered to do it today, and besides that, my only other assignment left is chem pract 12, which is planning (i'm horrid at it), so right now i'm looking for the necessary apparatus and methodology for my kinetics experiment... 

this may not be the latest tracks, but here's my fave new music on my playlist this week - 
Quietdrive - Time After Time
Jordin Sparks - Tattoo
Paula DeAnda - Doin' Too Much, When It Was Me, Easy
Kat DeLuna - Whine Up
Kanye West - Stronger
50 Cent - Ayo Technology (justin timberlake is amazing)
Mandy Moore - Umbrella (yes, a cover of Rihanna)

and to wrap up, Ratatouille is the second 5-star movie this year after the Bourne Ultimatum (which i've not watched yet), and i'm hoping to watch it soon...

happy thursday ya'll!

she wants it (gotta give it to her),
John.
