A few Pics, a few Websites, a Lecture, and a Dinner - All in a Day, of a Guy with a Clie.

Yesterday was a pleasent day... Kinda trial day for using my Palm.

Highlight of the day was crashing Psychology lectures with Max, slacking the afternoon away at the central library, and meeting a few freshers for dinner at marche.

Learnt two words at psych lectures today: Schema and Heuristics. Though i wasn't inspired enough during the lecture to appreciate the meaning of these words, I now know that they are psychology lexicons :P. Utilised the dictionary on my palm during the lecture to find out the meaning of the words, so that was the first practical use of the palm...

Went for lunch, met up with some church people... Jotted down my expenses on the palm... Chatted over lunch... Man, the Arts and Social Science students have it so much better than the Science students! While my science friends won't even have time to eat at 2pm because the canteen would be so crowded, and they would be rushing between lectures, here are the Arts students casually chatting over a meal!

Then proceeded to the central library, NUS has these colourful glass cubicles in the library where people rush into to use their handphone, or for small grouped (usually paired) discussions. Found one and slacked in it for the whole afternoon, while Max did his work. It was a bit small, but very cosy, even slept in it for a while! During that time, also took some pics from inside our cubicle with the camera on the palm... The third use of my palm :P

For Chatting...

For Discussions...

For Me!

Proceeded to Marche for dinner after that lazy afternoon, met up with a few freshers going to Cam. Was a good time of getting to know each other... 7 people is a good number, critical mass without being too many that people get left out of the conversation.

Took a group photo after the dinner, with Kezheng's camera. Once again, decided to summon my Clie to capture the photographer doing his thing...

And the group photo...
Kezheng, Alvin Tan, Dexter, Me,
Yao Yu, Royce, Hongking.

Just jotting down the names in case I forget them in future :S

And websites? Ah... Max showed me an awesome astronomical program his astronomy professor recommended, and I jotted the website down with... you guessed! My Clie! So that I can now share it with the world!

The program is called stellarium, and it maps out the heavens given the location and the time... Arh, too tired now to elaborate...

And another website we were talking about over dinner, http://rockson.blogspot.com.
Very amusing singlish blog. Like this remark he made:
"Army most dangerous weapon is not tank not gun,
is the blur f*** with the tank and the gun!"

Words of wisdom indeed.

There, the AAR of living with a Palm... All in the day, of a boy with a Clie.
