Restless in Sg

My patience is being tested. Due to some goofup I am not where I should have been now. Should have been enjoying my time in Siem Reap. All that and my trip back home has been postponed by two weeks. Barca won the finals defeating ManU. When Thierry Henry said, the last 5 minutes of the match were his longest in his life, I do understand. Many of us do as we would have been through similar situations in life before. Although I don't have as much stakes as he had but as far as I can remember, the next two weeks are going to be the longest two weeks for me in recent times. Its gonna be a bloody long wait.. :(

Back to TinyOS programming helping a l-mate in getting some results.Cant avoid..I can't even head back home without finishing it. Work wise there is nothing much to be done. I still need to finish my application process for my PhD at NUS which I am doing it so unwillingly. Awaiting results from two more Unis. I know its gonna be negative, but even having a 1% hope is sometimes bad when you are sure you can't make it. Even if its bad news, it should come soon...atleast some uncertainities will come to an end. Worst case, I will have to put up with a job on a more permanent basis. Not a bad choice esp. when its gonna give me a more relaxed life...and to add, there will be more joy when I buy an Enfield Bullet. My D-SLR is already waiting for me and so are many road trips which I have been missing for the past 18 months. I can think of a part-time PhD sometime later from II*c or I**-B.


*******************************************

Have been shopping off late..like crazy for my parents..her parents, her friends...aargh..and when I am tired,we go catch a movie at a nearby cinema. I have probably seen 4-6 in the last 2-3 weekends. The best has been a German movie I watched yest., 'The Baader-Meinhof Complex'. This movie deserves a separate post. The rest{Angels and.., Terminater Salvation, A Night at ..., X-Men, 99 } really dont deserve much attention.

I can understand your plight of delayed trip to home-sweet-home.
Well, looks like you are not having that bad a time, after all! Plus, it looks you have figured everything out, it is just that you are waiting which way to tread depending on various outcomes! Whichever way you choose, I wish you all the VERY BEST!

As to movies... I was actually looking up to watching Angels and Demons, your comment makes me re-think how much should I spend on watching it.

@shaolin,
Thanks for your wishes buddy. Maybe I should draw a payoff matrix to see which works best for me :)
Yes, having a good time these days..farewell dinners, party-sharty and all.
You can watch A&D once.It is much much better than Da Vinci Code and is a typical hollywood thriller. When comparing to that German movie, all these fall flat.
Would rate A&D 3.5 out of 5.
