The florescent lamps are causing us a great deal of trouble. We had two times of experience of light bulbs burning off. This time, we have starters burning.
I know I have already blogged on this, but the smell of burning plastic and metal is too much to bear. We have the door open, the fan on, and the air conditioner on and the room is still stinking.
I have noticed that the base of the second lamp is not that secure. I am now fearing for my life.

My room is SMOKING!!!!
After a peaceful wonderful nap on a pretty normal afternoon, Jyo and I had the shock of our lives. First, it was the smell of chemicals burning or some kind of poisonous gas. Then, to our surprise, we saw smoke coming out from the florescent lamp.
The security guard was not at all concerned, and she told us to report it to AO.
Night. Finally the maintenence person came. After changing the bulb of the wrong light, (my bad), I found out that the light was smoking again!!! Now I have to endure the horrible smell again!!! Apparently, the starter or some kind of metal was burnt, and it was really a sight to see smoke coming out from the base after the bulb was removed.
Quite an experience, if I dont die of gas poisoning first.

Physics
I love my Physics textbook. I had very very good reasons to do so.
1. Page 10, number 26. To the nearest order of magnitude, how many moles are in a large domestic cat? (OMG...I never knew cats have to do with Physics) Hint: Cats are sometimes known to kill a mole. (?????????????)
2. Page 10, number 27. On a spending spree in Malaysia, you buy an ox with a weigh of 28.9 piculs in the local unit of weighs (Hold on... who buys ox in Malaysia? Are our ox so famous?) When you arrange to ship the ox home to your astonished family, how many kilograms must you declare on the shipping manifest? (Oh God, I don't care how astonished the family will be, I am SHOCKED)
I have never enjoyed reading Physics questions so much. Thank you Jearl Walker from Cleveland State University. You have great potentials at motivating a student.

Euphoria
Done, it's all done. Just one more thing to go, and my months of suffering is going to end.
Not to forget to mention, first week in INTI is absolutely wonderful, except for the enrollment.

Curse
I never quite believed in curses, but this woman's story probably shows more than coincidence. Found it from Reader's Digest.
Kathleen (named after an aunt who died who died in a plane crash) and her brother Joe(named after a uncle killed in WW2) has the Kennedy curse.
When she was four years old, her grandparents were killed in a plane crash.
Her uncle, President Kenndey, was killed.
Another uncle, George Skakel and her dad's best friend killed in a plane crash (another plane crash? How many do they have?)
George's wife, killed when she choked on a piece of food. (How unfortunate)
Her father was killed when she was 16.
Her friend, was beaten and lay in a coma for 30 years until he died.
Another friend died in a drug overdose.
Her brother Michael died in a skiing accident.
Her cousin John, his wife, sister-in-law died in a plane crash. (Again?)
Maybe there are really things like fate. Is future in our hands?

2008...Ends with a bang
How I wish I could say that... Sadly, the only thing on my mind are regrets and hearbreaks on the last days of the year.
Fine, I am not going to sound so emo when this is a brand new year. This year isn't too bad afterall, I might feel satisfied when all this has passed. I did have plenty of new experiences, had some of my wishes came true, conjured up more wishes I have never dreamt about...
Enjoyed my friends' write up about the year. Glad to have INOPE.
To a certain degree, the year 2009 did start with a bang... launched 5 missiles... I'm coming to the end of the journey.
Hope to blessed by more luck in the new year.
Once again, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
