"Special cells in the mammary glands of female mammals produce milk, which is a complex mixture of immune system cells and proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and water in a proportion ideal for development of the young of a particular species. Human milk is rich in lipids, which the rapidly growing newborn's brain requires. In contrast, cow milk contains a higher proportion of protein, better suited to a calf's rapid muscle growth."

That could explain why I'm not doing so well in school.

It is amazing how useful some lessons you learn in life can be.
You won't hurt me, even if you try.
Because I am as cold and piercing as the snow, no matter how pale and soft.

I'll be leaving Hong Kong tomorrow morning. I guess I've relaxed myself a little bit over break, but arguably not much. Damn air pollution gets in the way of good sleep, so much for Hong Kong paying for the price of China's industrialization. And those idiots still think 'one-country, two-systems' will actually work.
I haven't went out as often as I would like to, but that's really a blessing in disguise, since I'm here to rest, and not to exhaust myself anyway. At least I've had my fair share of real food and PROPER sleep (as in before 3am, with lights off, and without very loud sounds emitting from next door resulting from activities involving damped harmonic motion of various body parts between two or possibly more animals). And I really do hope I get good sleep next semester, because, frankly, I'll need it if I am to pull off what is possibly one of the craziest manoeuvres in "the history of college life for the non-genius student".
(Hint: It's got something to do "22". And no, it's not "Catch 22", unless you're trying to describe how I feel about it right now).
Anyway, I'll try to get some nice souvenirs for my buddies today, and hopefully I won't be suffering so much from jet-lag when I get back (yeah right, usually takes me at least a whole dang week)!
