I wish to thank the Academy…
Ok, not really the Academy. Just the couple of things that have helped me through the block test period.
1) My iPod. With a small “i” and a “Pod”. How can I express my gratitude, pumping out tunes at my every whim and fancy?
2) Gold90FM, and especially Brian Richmond. Well, not really Brian Richmond, just that he happens to be the on-air deejay when I listen to the radio at night.
3) My Nokia N800 for providing entertainment on the bus.
4) The makers of Gweled and Bejeweled, for making a game that I can play on the bus with my fingers.
5) Bonnie Tyler, Chicago, Air Supply and various other artists, for singing the songs on my playlist.
6) Apple Inc., who included on-the-go playlists so that I could switch songs at will.
7) The Pilot pen company, for making the G-Tec 0.4 gel pen, which lasted me the entire block test period faithfully without running out of ink or having weird ink stoppages
8 ) Texas Instruments, for coming up with the TI-84+ graphic calculator, without which I would not have known how to draw graphs
9) Lipton tea, of which I consumed two cups a day, with copious amounts of sugar.
10) SBS service no. 157, for having seats in the morning, when other services such as 74 or 852 didn’t have any seats. Ah, precious sleep.
