Getting educated

There are times I question the value of formal education in the current school system. Does it prepare students for life? I doubt so.

How do we go about living our lives? Being able to cook a decent meal is more relevant than knowing the Sine Theorem. The ability to manage one's finances is a skill that is more applicable to everyday life than knowing that E. coli preferentially grows on LB agar. What about bringing up a baby/child? Surely that's more important than knowing the half-life of carbon-14.

Very sian. I've been on MC for the past week and wondering how nice it would be to have flexible working hours. What job options do I have? Nobody taught me how to choose a career. And this is an important skill...

I need a career counsellor! Where do I get a $48k-a-year job with flexi hours?!?

HFMD



Looking like I had too much of paintball fun. Not to mention the worst pharyngitis of my whole life. Drinking plain water feels like scrubbing the back of my throat with sand paper.

Just great.

How to lower your air-con bill


Source: Google

The weather's slowly turning hot again, with the passing of February (usually the wettest month of the year). Soon the Sun will cross the Equator (22nd March) on it's journey north, this means direct sunshine into the apartment.

Trouble is, I don't have air-con. So how?

Good thing is, the neighbour living in the unit directly under mine has a habit of turning his air-con up full blast. Sometimes it feels like I'm walking on a sheet of ice.

Guess I could lie on the floor on those warm days...

If 1 stripe means not pregnant, then 2 stripes mean what har? heh...

We're hoping they'll share the same birthday. Save money on the yearly celebrations, muahahahahaha.....
