Mirrors are made of mercury, so technically they're supposed to be silver, right? But for example, if I put an apple in front of the mirror, isn't the mirror red? Or if my face is reflected in the mirror, isn't it skin-coloured (or whatever colour my face happens to be)?

And yet, there is a silvery quality about the mirror... I can't describe it, yet it's there...

So what is the mirror's real colour? Adaptable? Chatoyant? Iridescent? Uncertain? Versatile?

Peter Gade won the Korea Open! Yesss!

Aaah... he's so cute... too bad he's not available.

Haha, I'm getting obsessed again!

I donated blood 3 times last night. And 15 times on Tuesday in Physics/Add Maths tuition. And countless other times this week.

Yup, I attend blood drives organized by The Mosquito Organization.

I feed mosquitoes. So bite me.

Should I go for medicine, or engineering? Studying medicine is so darn expensive! Five-figure tuition fees, I couldn't believe my eyes...

I found out that chemistry is compulsory in medicine! Of all subjects, chemistry!  And my parents keep discouraging me and saying that it's hard. Maybe they don't have the money to spend on me. Or maybe they don't want to spend it on me. Hmph.

But medicine is, after all, my first choice. Although I'll be, like, thirty years old when I finally graduate.

Then again, I love Physics, and I'll probably enjoy doing engineering. Plus I can study locally. But what does an engineer do?

Arrr, I hate making decisions. I might end up making the wrong choice, and regret for the rest of my life.

Whatever, I still have one whole year to decide.

I sprained my ankle on Sunday. And only got to skip one day of school. Boohoohoo...

My leg is slightly swollen now. My toes feel bloated.

Whee.

Tsunamis. Terrible, terrible.

[By the way, did you know tsunami is a Japanese word?]

My dad showed us a video clip someone took just before the tsunamis hit. Those people were just having fun by the beach on a weekend day, chatting and laughing. Then suddenly the tsunamis came, and they were swept away.

I can just imagine the scenario.

"Nice weather today. Let's go for a swim at the beach!"

"Yeah!"

Then at the beach...

"Daddy, look! There's a BIG wave heading our way!"

"What the..."

*whoosh*

No warnings. No precautions. Just like that, tens of thousands of lives taken. So many dead. So many missing. Leaving their loved ones behind, mourning and weeping.

The victims' corpses looked so gruesome... bloated, bloody and grey. What would it have felt like, to die a horrible death like that?

Last night, I was complaining to myself about mosquito bites. Then I realized: what's 4 teeny mosquito bites compared to the suffering the tsunami victims are going through?

Surely mosquito bites would have been the least of the survivors' problems, considering the pending epidemics.

I shudder to think what could have happened to Malaysia, had the earthquake occured on eastern Sumatra instead of western Sumatra.

Brrr.
