a day's prophecy, a lifetime's lesson

i didn't realise i have such intolerance for procrastination, yet i am one who procrastinates. but then again, when doing group project, i seem to have lower acceptance for last minute work. in a peer evaluation, i gave the last-minute-work guy a pretty low grade. if other people rushes last minute work, i am all willing to help but when my group members do that despite an agreed upon completion date, i feel there's irresponsibility especially when the work is only complete one day before submission. then today i realised another member did worse and i have greater intolerance for irresponsibility over last minute work. i'd rather you do a good last minute submission than do a sloppy work. i don't blame her for not coming for the meetings because we had most meetings during her lecture hour since every other time clashes with more people. but her part ended up lesser than 100 words and it doesn't seem like she knows what we did in the report nor did she read it. the last-minute-guy submitted a 1200 word report for his part and the girl removed 900 over words. the report's supposed to have a max of 5000 words which means we should hit somewhere above 4500. we would've had 4800+ words if not the girl removed 900 words. now we have merely 3900+. i kinda suspect she thinks that the max words is 4000.
i hope others' evaluation form would neutralise the grade i gave the last-minute-work guy. at least he did a fantastic report. i wouldn't say the same for the girl.
recently, i got "bedded". if you're looking for who bedded me, you first need to know, by being "bedded", i mean i am becoming like a bed because i'm using bed sheet as my blanket. since we stopped using air-conditioner, my blanket has become too thick for me, so i've switched to bed sheet after months of not using my thick blanket.
on to zodiac predictions. are you a believer of zodiac prophecies? i read the straits times, life copy's daily prediction for each zodiac sign and the today papers prophecies as well. these may be daily predictions, but from a non-superstitious perspective, they teach a lifetime's lesson. there are lots of examples such as those saying something like "mind what you say today before you offend people" and "do not jump into an investment without doing your homework" and "don't dwell on little innuendoes people make". i do not see these as just a day's prophecies. these things teach you how to lead your life. no matter what day it is, one should always mind what he/she says in case people get offended. investments should only be done with careful research and analyses and you get what i mean. i have to admit, i offend people unintentionally all the time. i used to make fun of everything that my mind can think of. now i filter a bit but still do sometimes. haha... thankfully, all my friends have been very tolerant of me and here, i would like to thank all my friends.
today's my birthday if you haven't noticed. my wish list is
1) a round trip ticket to japan
2) either an ibanez 2-0-2 pickup configuration, a fender strat, les paul shaped body with floyd rose bridge (epiphone is ok but preferably esp) or esp ganesa. that's all.
only 2 things, is that too much to ask? i don't mind if you all gather and pitch-in to share one big present. thanks in advance, i'll act surprised if i do get it. promised.
