At least one of us is happy

Less than 24 hours before I take off. And I'm still not sorted out with various things. This is not a blog post per se, but a reminder of what I have to square away before I head off

Admin
1. Email Shane about my crabs
2. Email Simon about my crabs
3. Email Rafael about sending the new species of mine that is supposedly sitting on his table. I don't have his email addy though, so will have to draft out the email and send it out via NNK
4. Data entry (assignment 3 marks), and email Prof Seow
5. Complete introduction and draft for module and send it out to Peter
6. Email NUS bursary about the fuckup with my school fees deduction
7. Submit grades for BL1103 CA to NNK.
8. Back up computer
9. Pack nets, gear, tissue kit, fins, mask, snorkel, wet suit. Should I bring my regulator? hmmm...

Personal
1. Take my aunt, who is in town out for dim sum tomorrow, before she leaves for Hong Kong
2. See my sister and nephew, mum, dad... I haven't been home the last week.
3. Sort out finances for the trip. To say the least, there has been a total screw up with regards to Admin point 6 which has left me penniless.
4. collect my shoes from the laundromat, but to complete that, I have to find my receipt first.
5. Stock up on dramamine!!! This one is very important. Can someone text me at 6pm Saturday evening to check with me on this one?

To top it all up, I'm not feeling so good. Been down with the sniffles the last couple of days. Suspect this is due to late nights in a cold lab. To top it off, I went out to Changi beach for a class today. In the water and out, and back in and out again.. on a light note, the little figurine of Colonel Sanders was collected in one of the seines. It's now sitting on Reuben's table. Quite cute, he is. All happy and smug, listening to his mp3 player ( it doesn't look like an iPod to me!), surrounded by my plastic turtle collection, with a Calappa lophos trying to muscle in on the orgy

Somehow, I have a feeling that I might not be back. Of course, this is silly. I always have that feeling everytime I go away for a long time. A chat with Zee and Applecow revealed that they also have the same thoughts whenever they go off for a trip. That's why I always try to take my parents out for a nice meal before leave. Maybe tomorrow. I will try to take some time out. I don't want to go without saying good bye. Just in case...

** Update

Well... it's 3.21pm, I have to be at teh airport in 2.5 hours. Not packed yet. But that's field trip my style.

All things handed over, I should be gone for a month... maybe intermittend updates if I can find a handphone signal to send mms pictures to otterman.

Will try not to get thrown overboard. And yes mingko. I hear ya! ;)

I'm outta here!
