travel details for this summer:

may 18 (sunday): arrival @ 6.30am, SQ 25
june 19 (tuesday): departure @ 1.50pm, SQ 326

this time round, instead of transiting at tokyo narita like i usually do, i'll be going the other way round the globe, via frankfurt. as a consequence of that, i'm taking advantage of the frankfurt stopover for a quick 2-day tour of the city.

after spending an hour pestering my physics TA (who's all sorts of wonderful) about maxwell's equations, i feel like i can *sort of* grasp what those nutty physicists are babbling on about when they claim that maxwell's equations are "beautiful' and that the existence of a magnetic monopole would make them fully symmetrical and hence even more "beautiful". though personally, i'd rather spend time enjoying the sight of spring blooms in sunshine. as opposed to spending time on the happy intellectual pursuit of deriving equations.

speaking of spring blossoms - those poor things are suffering under the recent onslaught of unseasonable chill. i don't anticipate a spectacular display this year.

remember that TCS drama serial '双天至尊'? now, thanks to the miracle that is youtube (which is being sued for a billion dollars in damages by viacom *boohiss*), we all get the chance to relive those childhood memories of watching 李南星 and 郑惠玉 doing their 赌王赌后 shtik and being ridiculously impressed by how drop-dead cool all those casino tricks looked:

if you loved the original as much as i did, do yourself a favour and check these clips out. i nearly died laughing - now i know that whenever i need some entertainment i can head over to youtube and watch old channel 8 drama serials.

I have been struck by the sudden desire to pig out on roast pork, crispy bits of fat and all. But where can I get roast pork, in this accursed, culinarily-deprived backwater?

Not for the first time, I wish that I'm studying in New York, or Boston. (Toronto's not bad, either.)
