Saturday,the 28th of September,2001:

Quitted smoking for 5 days now,urge is still there.But regaining my sense of smell and stamina take higher priority than some nicotine fix.

Don't the pharmaceutical companies sell nicotine tablets?I want the high without the risk of cancer,reduced sperm count,and those Marlboro related ailments...there's a market of billions out there.'Hello,Glaxo Smithkline,Bayer and Roche!Can't those Chemical eggheads u guys employ synthesise micotine tablets?'

Decided to quit Chemical Engineering,perhaps the biggest decision of my life so far.A change to accountancy would be refreshing,at least the babe factor is higher.But as all degrees from S'pore go -- under-valued and over-taxing seems to be the maxim when the deans draw up their courses.

Orchard Road,a self-proclaimed denizen of that mile-long shopping heaven.Weekends somehow aren't complete without a visit to that place.Fucking exams.Why am I still swotting for exams when I'm hell bent in changing course?The fear of Murphy's law?The unexplainable phenomenon of buttered toast landing on the greased side?3 Rhetorical questions that I'm asking...no answer is to be given:just

study...the tried and tested S'porean way of life.

Is this how I would want to carry on for the next four years?

The only constant in life is change...and it'll be the defining constant of the big equation.What's the answer?It's for me to find out.
