Went to this child care centre at Pasir Ris called Universal Educare on Thursday evening and Friday morning to carry out experiments on 4-year old kids... it's amazing how everything one learns can just fly out the window when practicality and pragmatism are called for... well, I can say that I've learnt quite a bit from those kids in 2 hours =)

Been lazing around in central library for the past two days as well... I can't believe how relaxed I am right now. I realized that it was a group, and not individual report, but it's due on Monday after all. Hmm.

Haven't been able to go for night classes for abt 3 weeks liao. Not a good sign. I've either been cooped up doing research in school; on those days when I finish my stuff early, it just seems too late for me to reach there on time. Talked abt it with dad and mum this week but they're taking a really relaxed approach to it all.

Dr Elliot lectured on adulthood during developmental psych yesterday... hmm.. physical deterioration - by age 60 my arm cranking power will be abt 60% what it is now. Bad sign. Whatever biceps and triceps I (thought I) had have nearly withered away. I'm in a Catch-22 situation now: I like to do weights, but if I can't do lots, I stop pretty quickly. And when I do, I don't improve - which leads to me doing even less in future. I'll never understand why all the mass/fats I get accumulate on the lower half of my body... surely it won't be that difficult to have some stuck on my arms so I have something to work with? And my back is aching like hell now, one of my muscles in my lower right side feels pretty stretched.

School is a chore - especially on a lazy Saturday morning..
