day three. ujian berkala II

a day LEFT for exams to be over.

it's a damn good feeling.

the only thing making it feel not as good as it ought to is the thought of physics tomorrow. cant even enjoy the pre-end of exams feeling to the max. *sighz*

oh well.. been kinda on the low lately. dunno what's up. maybe it's exams.. or.. god knows.

hrm.

so much stuff has happened lately.. it all just kinda creeps up on you when you least suspect it. then you start worrying and thinking and dreaming and dreading and.. oh god. in conclusion, i just cant wait for this year to be over.

been sick for quite a long time now. it all started with my sinus problem and it went all the way to the fever + flu + cough + sore throat stage.. now i'm blessed with this damn SEXY voice which has made me not able to sing in ages.. *sobz* i want my voice back~! heh.. but guess my bro's pretty glad he hasnt heard my off-key warbling at home for quite a while now..

speaking of him, i just saw this programme about evolution on discovery channel the other day while he was watching.. it seems that the human race kinda evolved from an eel-like animal called pikaia gracilens (pih-KAY-ah GRASS-ih-lenz). they were defenseless, constantly preyed-on little swimming creatures with a rod-like structure on their back which apparently was the source of all current vertebrae in the world now.



pikaia gracilens - our ancestors.. see any resemblance there?



it's kinda hard to picture aint it?

and so apparently according to the hot french paleologist (heh.. just couldnt resist adding that. well you just dont see hot researchers EVERY DAY, do you? lolz well jk laa.. ehehe..) yeah so anyway according to him, pikaia were on the verge of extinction because they were so defenseless and so easy for other bigger animals to prey on. imagine being a 5-centimetre-long organism on the ocean floor with no defense except for being fast and smart.

however, luckily for us.. pikaia were smart (NOW you know where the genes came from.. ahaha..) they knew how to adapt and voila!

you have the entire human race and other vertebrae on earth.

okay. fine. maybe it didnt happen that quick.. and that it actually took millions of years for pikaia to evolve into current-day vertebrae.. but still, it was a heck of a show. heh.. i got so interested in it that i almost left my barely-started studying behind. but dang exams. made me miss all the cute lil pikaia. =)

imagine evolving from sth so tiny and small and SLUG-LIKE?! pretty interesting..

ahakz.. been crapping a lot now. wanna go watch the repeat of last week's akademi fantasia concert.. hrm, i guess sometimes, crapping kinda does help with mood-management. lolz.

oh well, till next time~! ciaoz fellow pikaia-mates.. brothers and sistas of the pikaia family..

i've been so obsessed with that name. it just sounds so cute dont it?

*BIG GRIN*
