Force of nature

For the second time in my life, i was nearly being knocked down by the gust of wind...hehe, the first time is when i walked behind a C-130 Hercules during her ground test in Airod. Today i received this in my mailbox...huhu, i got no classes on Wednesday so it doesn't effect me whatsoever. If only it happen tomorrow...hehe, so i don't need to submit my assignment that is due tomorrow...
