random and impulsive

Upon receiving an email from a (former) student about the hazards of eating (canned) sardines, I suddenly took up an interest in canned fish. Researchwise, I mean. Apparently there are credible findings relating canned fish to various misfortunes to humankind (credible to me at least, and the panellists for some scientific journals as it turned out). Although this research will very well be UNrelated to my master's, I sense some fun in it. Some.. purpose. Random researches/interests are way cool. Human beings should be like that I think; random and impulsive. Although my zodiac sign is taurus -the supposed boring, unimpulsive one- if anyone believed in those astrological stuffs.

The asasians have come! Yesterday some 500+ asasi students registered at the 12th college. As it so happened, yesterday was also the start of my weeklong fellows-on-duty stint. Aiyoh! Lotsa problems; kunci patah pun ada!! Slept at 3.00 a.m last night. Thank God for Epul, the keymaker (cool gila kan? 'Epul the keymaker'). Mamat ni memang baik gila!

Construction near the Bulatan Universiti is almost complete. I can't escape the uncomfortable feeling of using a jalan besar; I so dislike these kind of roads. They're, like, not tolerant towards motorcyclists with perangai kampung (not unlike myself). Oh well. No more random, impulsive driving here (menyongsang dan U-turn sesuka hati tidak dibenarkan!!).

And Manchester United is not coming. I hate the business part of things; the making money part. I love Manchester United's brand of football. But I so hate it when they (or anyone else, for that matter) do things/make statements which say; "it's only business. We're doing it for the money." It seems money is everything nowadays. And people just got better and better in naming them other things; love, passion, empathy, family values, quality time...
