Observing a lot of people, I can conclude:

The number of blog posts is directly proportional to how interesting the person's life is at that point.

Which makes sense. Seeing as if there's nothing interesting then there isn't anything to blog about.

Sadly, the past few days have been uninteresting.

Thursday was maffRA test, which was interesting to say the least. Apparently people now think that the BioChemPhy papers were simply too easy and is not a good gauge of true talent. For maffRA that didn't seem to be the case though. On one hand you have people struggling to complete the paper and on the other hand you have IVAN.

And I'm proud to announce I went LANning for the 1st time in years.

Played DotA with quite a number of 4B people, and expectedly got owned (what do you think? I have never played DotA before). Overall, a very interesting and fun experience, though if I had been pro-er I would have enjoyed it more I guess. Better than mugging Chem anyway :D

ChemRA test was way easier than expected (I was expecting Martian stuff that would freak me out), (EDIT: It was easier than the eoys to a certain extent, but to another extent it was more difficult. They aren't exactly of the same type and standard.) but then again I think I may have lost quite a number of marks for carelessness etc. Was hoping for more organic chem.

Anyway, a nice video which sums up my feelings for it:

There you go, a very humorous rendition of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto #1.

Some other piece I am quite addicted to:

Rachmaninoff's Symphony #2, 3rd mvt - Adagio (the other part to it can be found by clicking on the link on Youtube)

P.S. for mad freaks like me,
http://kco.radio4.nl/index.php?page=home&lang=en
10 free symphonies from Concertgebouw! and there's Bruckner8 too (and mahler1 but i dont exactly fancy it). thanks theokwek!
P.P.S. I WANT NODAME CANTABILE. (i must be mad, watching jdrama?)
1) I am relatively free, and don't want to be viewing the same Wikipedia article for the 6.02*10^23rd time.
2) I need to buck up my Japanese. It's rotting (just like my brain), so I need to brush it up.
3) I need some music. Somehow watched a little of it, and liked their version of Brahms #1.

so if anyone would be kind enough (if the reasons aren't compelling enough, tell me.) to send me the whole jdrama, please leave a tag. ill give you all my candy in return, k? just that those are laced with melamine :D
