Act 3, Scene 2: Resurgence

I went to school early today. Didn't see a point staying so long at home so I got up, for the first time this semester, right when the alarm went off. Too tired to bring my backpack so I brought my sling one, another first.

I took Anarex before bed yesterday.

Hai...

I had fun in school today. I arrived early so I smoked awhile at the carpark before making my way up to class. I got there before the lecturer so I thought I might as well walk around a bit. Friday mornings are nice in NIE cos there are not too many people around.

Math was okay I guess. Not much information got absorbed though. Haha. After Math, I kinda ran around the campus trying to settle my MC business. I had planned it this way:

1) I'll go to the Admin Office to get the MC form
2) I'll go to the library to photocopy my MCs
3) I'll go to Block 3 to submit it to 2 tutors
4) I'll go to Block 7 to submit it to 1 tutor

Turned out it went like this:

1) I had to go visit my other Math tutor in Block 7 first.
2) I went to the Admin Office only to find out that the letter needs to be printed out by us.
3) I had to go to the library to print it out.
4) I had to photocopy my MCs.
5) I had to go to Block 3 for submission.
6) I went to Block 7 for another submission.
7) I went back to Admin Office to submit the originals.

Grrrrrrr......

I then met my mentor for lunch. As usual she had nothing to eat so I was eating alone. We had a short talk about religion and the true commodity for world economics. You see, people always talk about gold and diamonds being among the most valuable types of objects. I mean, when you watch a James Bond film, they're almost always fighting over diamonds and jewels and gold and stuff. But do you realise that the blood which pumps through the veins of world economics is actually oil?

OIL..CRUDE OIL.

Wars are being fought over control of this commodity. Wars aren't being fought over gold. It's for the control of oil. I can't tell you much about the details but think about it; oil's used for almost everything we need. Plastic comes from oil. Our daily commute on public or private transports uses oil. (Then some idiots are gonna say: But MRT never use oil mah?.. To which my reply is, 'You bumbling idiot. And where do you suppose you get the fuel to burn the water that turns your turbines in the power station to generate electricity? From your ass when you fart?') Yes, for those uninformed, we use fuel to produce steam at our power stations. Oil is also used in many other processes to help produce many other products which basically means that when we run out of oil, well, let's just say I'm not too comfortable without electricity and cars (of course many tribes in the various jungles of the world will rejoice because the entire human race is going to be like them soon). I say this,

"Don't make another film about vampires/zombies/vampire-zombies, fat,green animated characters, old men who never had sex, princesses who didn't know they were princesses till their grandmothers came into their lives suddenly and tell them so etc."

You wanna scare people? Make a movie about a world that has run out of oil. Hey, you wouldn't be too far off since they predict that the world oil production will peak in 2015. What does peak mean? Well, imagine a mountain top. You've climbed up one side and when you reach the top, you go down the OTHER side. Get the idea?

After 2015, there's not going to be MORE oil. It's only going to get less. Scary enough for you? I hope they make a movie about it. Will Smith in I am Legend was just too disappointing.

Ahh...enough ranting. No oil, global-warming, bird flu, never-ending wars, boring tv shows on Channel 5(how many of you actually watched the show that tried to copy That 70's Show?..c'mon, be honest..)..the world does sound like a depressing place. Haha. I tried reading Albert Camus' 'The Myth of Sisyphus' in the library earlier. It discusses suicide and what it means to different people. Hmm, I shall keep this for another entry.

Anyway, Princess went shopping today with her friends. =) That's nice..haha. So I'm at home typing this out in my semi-depressed-confused state cos I've got no one to talk to. I miss her already...=(

Oh well, enough ranting. One piece of good news - I managed to change my English Tutorial to Wednesday thus freeing up my Friday afternoon..My tutor's such a nice guy. Haha.

I'm going to sleep.

I miss, Nur. =(

(Call me, will ya?)
