Karate Grading

I think I am so screwed. It's actually supposed to be tomorrow, but I'm doing today, cos tommorow "not free". Anyway, everything was going ok until they decided to do the next kata for the next grade. Actually this isn't bad at all, it's very fun and interesting, but I got stuck with this sensei who thought that everyone in 6th kyu already knows the kata, so he went at top speed through everything. Of course I did not know anything about yondan and messed it up totally. It's like super complicated and all, lots is spinning round and round. Then better yet, there were these people from another class and joined us today, dunno why, who must have already practiced like crazy, and were doing very well, so I looked like a complete retard.

Oh, on the way home we stopped by Delifrance to get bread to go with pumpkin soup tonight, and one of the loaves has a most interesting title. Please append "s" after the first "a" and order it loudly at your next social function. It's name is the Batard. How amusing.

I didn't post yesterday cos I didn't feel like it and also wanted to go to sleep. Anyways, yesterday was the Life Sciences open house. It was actually quite fun, and there were a lot of little kiddies and a Boh Yuan who asked Nico lots of weird questions. Ha ha. I can't post the questions here as they would be too much adult material. We had a huge whiteboard to fill with "relevant material", in the words of Mr See Boon Tiam, but was actually filled with illustrations of carnivorous tomatoes and blue snails, plus a strange screenshot of a game between two vegetables, annotated with phrases like "KO".

Oh yes, and we spent the whole time poking fun at Boh Yuan's half dead tomatoes which he tried to revive to no avail. And I got to do the laminiar flow micropropagation, since I am more or less the only year 2 who knows how to do it, or so I am told... But my ethanol spray got hijaked by the other people, and was sprayed like all over the lab and all over everyone, so they used up like half of it. Thank goodness Ms Khin the lab technician didn't say anything.

From here it was downhill, after all the fun. I forgot my EzLink card so I had to call my mum to fetch me, then have to stay at her office all afternoon and got scolded too. At least there was fast T1 industrial speed internet access.

Then SPORE on my iMac crashed with debug errors and wouldn't start ever again. So my bro got really pissed and kept bugging me to fix it, which I managed to today by using another account. Bloody EA, this is apparently a common issue on all their Mac games. What awful support. I tried increasing the graphics cache, and we will see whether it crashes on this account. If you are playing SPORE on Mac I hope this helps...
