Oh Apple, I wish I had more money for you to take.
WWDC (live blog) was exciting, NEW MACBOOKPRO!! Thinner body (a la the Air) and retina display! I was literally cheering for the duration of the MBP presentation. Then the price tag came up and I decided I rather spend the addition $800 somewhere else.
So decision now comes to 13" Air or 13" Pro. Same price, one has the advantage of portability while the other has pretty nice specs. *Impatiently waits for the Apple site to be updated*

Tim Cook and Steve Jobs have similar presentation outfits haha. Cook just swapped the turtleneck for a button down.

Chem study time is also spent looking for a new backpack for uni & medium sized cross body for trip.

Goruck Echo was my first choice, but it's waaay too expensive. I love the minimalistic aesthetics of it & the tested durability. Never would I have to worry about dragging it on the floor, nor throwing it across my room. Honestly I should treat my belongings better, especially shoes (my oxfords are sooo scratched up now T_T"). New first choice is the Drifter Day Pack, which I found after an entire afternoon on Carryology. It's made from the same fabric & looks similar enough. Though it doesn't seem to have a padded laptop compartment @_@"

As for cross body bag, I have even less luck. Can I please win the lottery so I can get a Mulberry Alexa? Though I can just use my trusty ol' Fossil one, which has so far carried me through Gritaly and Shad. It's a tad heavy for my liking though, shoulders end up hurting by the end of the day D:

yeah I should acquire a source of income soon.

Cargo Cult Science

More wisdom from Feyman! Hands down the best commencement speech I've heard (topping Steve Job's).



It's so true that we're being taught in schools that it's more important to get the desired results than to stay faithful to what the data represents. Error analysis is just a section that you need to bs a few paragraphs in. This is evident in sooo many people fudging their results for the physics summative, and I'm guilty of it myself too (gosh that chem experiment was just soooo bad).
But never too late to start, I will try my best to live by this scientific integrity principle. 

Link to the xkcd comic shown in the video & another one about Nash (You should watch A Beautiful Mind, it's so touching *u*).

Summer days are for lazing around and not being chased of thoughts of should-be-studying-chem.

I wonder how I ever managed to keep this blog for 4 years with my current level of motivation to update. Guess my life was a lot more interesting durr.
Or I would like to think, I had much less work <_<"

DONE WITH SCHOOL*
*except the exams. That's a big except.
Fuuuu I'm gonna fail <_<" SES is on fri and I've only made notes. Chem is on wed, screwed regardless. Math is next friday, I will force myself to do practice problems. Physics, cheatsheet yeeeeeh.

But I don't care, e-e-e-e-eh e-e-eh.
Oh gosh I'll stop. Been too emotional lately (Rui can verify that, but she'll probably laugh).

Random catch-ups:

• Finally found the UT 1T6 Engineering group, fun chatting with my future classmates sufferers. It'll be excitinnnnng!
• Dad came to visit & brought looks of goodies. Like my taobao order and this camera <3

• Fujifilm X10! Thank you kind parents. Not baller enough for the X100 lol, also too good for me (applies to Leica M9, but that's far too unrealistic). Haven't gotten the chance to play around with it, that'll have to wait until after math exam ;_; 
• Anime this season has been really good. They're my 20 minute salvation from reality school <3 Sakamichi was amazing at the beginning, but I think Space Brothers wins the top spot overall. The episodes has been consistently dramatic and hilarious haha. Awesome music from all the series too, think I'll use those to fill up the blog.
• So much FC work to do e__e" But we're getting there! And once we do, it will be amazing Donna will kill us all if it isn't ;D
• Major vacation items, flights and hotels, has been set! Now onto the hard part of itinerary planning. Mom does not share my preference for spontaneity laziness.

Used strike-through way too many times this post.
YEARBOOK TOMORROW YAY. Alex you better start thinking now :]
