today was so boring!! we were given these KI resources and were supposed to look through them and like, critique them and stuff. and believe me, KI is SUPER chim! its something like philosophy, you get to study about the theory of knowledge, how knowledge comes about and stuff. seems interesting huh? but you should see the questions. it makes GP look like a piece of blackforest cake. its very philosphical. they even make reference to plato and aristotle and the socrates method of questioning (or something like that. this mountain tortoise is too ignorant to be in possession of such high level thinking anwyay.)
oh yes, back to the boring-ness of today's activities. as expected, it got rather boring reading stuff that we're not very familiar with. haha..so after reading for a short period of time (this is debatable, however), i was lured into playing computer hearts by well, the computer. contrary to popular belief, the computer is not simply an inanimate object with a programmed mind. i must admit, it has superb persuasion skills. haha..anwyay,
the computer, aware of the ease of influencing my mind, said "come play hearts with me. you know you want to."
"oh shut up, you box of chips, im trying to familiarise myself with all this advanced KI stuff which is so not my turf."
"but im lonely and i need a companion. someone like YOU."
and then my heart melts at this seemingly sincere compliment.
and the rest is history.
ihui was playing civilisation 4 or something..and gabriel was reading. haha..and i played about a bazillion rounds of hearts. if this keeps up, my hearts-ing skills will improve drastically.
oh, then he let me play world of warcraft. heehee. ive never played warcraft before. but the laptop was quite laggy and like, the character kept jerking forward. haha. like a Jerk. i always pick the ugliest, most grotesque one, for some reason. its an innate inclination.
i was in the train this morning and there was this woman sleeping with her mouth open. haha..not a very flattering position either. for the whole journey, i couldnt help staring at her. well actually, not to be mean or anything, but i was sorta anticipating a sliver of drool to trickle down her chin. haha. thankfully, it didnt.
so here's a tip: never sleep on public transport unless
1before your head lolls back involuntarily, be ABSOLUTELY certain that you've positioned yourself in a flattering, camera-friendly sleep-sitting position. this will ensure that candid shots of an unconscious you might well be worth millions should they be circulated on the net.
2 you seal your lips with tape, glue or quick-drying cement.
2.1 alternatively, if you're on a budget and have a sweet tooth, kill two birds with one stone and use peanut butter in place of the aforementioned self-adhesive items.
3 you order the driver to seal the eyes of all boarding passengers and make no exception, except for perhaps the occasional blind passenger. To do so, see points 2-2.1.
4 you are a supermodel and do not have any unflattering angles.
5 you wear a bag over your head to save yourself the humiliation of being recognised/spotted by a plastic surgery company to pose for the 'before surgery' picture. (note: you might want to cut little holes in said bag to be certain that you do not fall into morpheus' arms forever)
