damn the blocked nose
Ugh, i've slept the entire day away, waking up only for meals and medication. Blocked nose leading to a lil headache. Quite annoying. I thought i'd be fine after the 2 day mc and some rest and medication popping over the past few days. Tonight was supposed to be night 2 of the clubbing marathon, but i can't go down. *sob* supposed to support wilson at his gig tonight, gargh.. tomorrow night's heineken thirst dj quest finals, koflow vs feng. I hope feng wins, but i haven't heard feng play in a long time. But it's a little like different genres kinda thing. Oh well. Either way they're still winners to be up on that platform itself. Roger Sanchez & Steve Lawler will be here so zouk will be freaking packed tomorrow with all the house & trance loving peeps. Woot!! I'm gonna let go tomorrow and drink and dance like no tomorrow. Recover and then i can start mugging for my exams. Life is so exciting.
Found out what makes minting companies think about before deciding to a note out of circulation. BBC excerpt
"One pound notes ceased to be legal tender on 11 March, 1988, after which they became a fiscal dodo bird. The reason for replacing them with those coins made sense: the note, Treasury records show, were becoming increasingly "inconvenient" for the public.
A pound note had a lifespan of just nine months, because, the records say, it was often kept in a pocket instead of a wallet, stuffed in with coins and keys and who knows what else. They stayed out of the banks longer, too.
"This results in dirty notes remaining in circulation for longer than they should," the Treasury said in 1985. "To maintain cleaner notes in circulation would be extremely costly."
But the pound coin can stay solid, and clean-ish, for 40 years."

And i was reading friendster earlier about someone's answer to a particular quiz question. Quiz question goes like this "If u were to marry a celebrity...who wld u marry?" Her answer was none... most are screwed up... i be satisfied with the normal man on the street. But i think that at the end of the day celebrities are just like us, but their flaws get magnified due to the amount of publicity that we get. If our flaws were published on the newspapers everyday most of us would look like them anyway. And of course those that don't have much problems, you rarely hear about them. So the lesser screw ups, you forget to award them for their good upbringing and character and whatever not. Because it's the nature of tabloids to bring out the bad stuff. It's always easier to dislike a person than to love a person, that's human nature. The more we know about a person the more it's easier to dislike a person. Sigh.
