Nothing that is worth having ever comes easy
Just wanted to say that if you want something you have to work hard to get it. Be it the girl you're trying to jio, or that elusive A+ you've been trying to catch, or that ferrari you want to own.
I swear I must have read at least 200 blogs, suffer from an overdose of blog reading. Firefox has made it really convienent to blog read because if you bookmark them, you can open all the webpages at the same time.The downside is if one of the blogs had a terrible background music, you'd have to eat your heart out and witchhunt the blog with the freaking irritating music out. I found out that -Angel's resturant in NUS closed down. -People are blogging about the impending exam stress which is also stressing me. -girls suck at computing.~ Explains the lack of cute girls in grp C -people are into the quiz me friend thing. I saw at least 5 Words that come out most often: Mug Exams Friends Happy
It's pass midnight.. April fools day time to fool some people...
Slow dayz
My daily list of preferred activities include a huge berth of free time where I watch D/l-ed american drama serials my lappy, listen to all my favourite Cpop played over and over on my itunes, go online and blog-stalk on my favourite reads for gossip all that while sipping a cup of pure caffeine.
I just wish I have a Medium size whiteboard where I can draft ideas on,like the one in and not just be constricted to the tiny piece of A4 blank paper I do now.Plus it's erasable You can just erase it if you don't like the idea.I think ideas flow more rapidly on a erasable whiteboard than a piece of tiny A4 paper.
Tan Seow Hon, an NUS law Associate professor wrote an article to the straits times today about people being slaves to multitasking, it reminded me about the episode in which some blogger wrote that their teacher had become increasing annoyed with people using lappies to do stuff other than what is taught in the class.Her last statement about splitting the restaurant bill hit a nerve when I thought of using a calculator to split the bill at yesterday's dinner.
The things you do for love.
Somebody did a "My sassy girl" in grp A lecture today. the lecturer announced that someone in this class liked someone else..Everyone thought it was him who liked someone. He clarified it was not him and that the girl don't know it's her. He then proceeded to say he was asked by this guy to put this cheesy powerpoint slide up. Which says "cuiwen take my hand."
Later the guy proceeded to go and give the girl the flowers and started talking to the girl. In which then the lecturer suggested a break and ask the crowd to leave them alone.They even had a webcast.. (for the lecture, can only view if you're from nus.) At around 57min plus..
okay I think pretty soon the whole faculty and sch will be talking about it..
Slyvester is coming out with a new song on 933 OMG... It's has a lameass title called "降龙十八掌" 降龙 which resembles his chinese name. It's so dumb.. I hate it already.
Jolin is coming out with a new album! woot. in mid april called <金属玫瑰> with a new song called 金属玫瑰的刺. What the? werid name...
My fren send me a jay chou song which is probably unreleased but i think it sounds nice.
Countdown to exams.
I found out that putting a nick like 30 more days to exams induces a general panic on msn. Muahahahaha
Sometimes I don't know why I'm still in the paper chase when people my age in the US are making big bucks. I'm tired. Tired of the melochany of it all. Tired and sick of life and the way it's making me feel. I know that no matter how much I whine, I will end up waking up and doing the same old shyt all over agian. I wish I can take everything run away do something daring with my life for once. But I won't. Because I'll risk everything. Humans are like currents, always taking the path of less resistance.
Sometimes the only way out is appreciate the little things in life. Enjoy the little blessings that life has given you. ~This morning I found a lost angbao behind the cupboard which contain $20, feels like $20 richer..
U Busy?
Was gonna blog on the wonders on Wave particle equations under boundary conditions, how maths studies and physics interwined so beautifully together that I sudden realise what the big picture is, but decided against it cos that's just so dumb.
U busy? The "u Busy" is a person you call at 11pm and says "u busy?" If lady luck gets on ur side you're getting lucky tonight, no personal attachments allowed. Got this off the show Jake in progress.
What's on my mind. ~I have no idea how to write my SS paper. 4 landmarks to illustrate singapore's History.. ~When is DH coming out? ~I'm starved... ~Is Ferrari gonna win again? ~Is Terri gonna die? ~OMG I can't wait for the next episode of Bleach! Ichigo and gang are gonna inflitrate Soul society! ~I feel like(eating) Chocolates.
UK is going to make a bold move to liberalise Sex selection laws,citing previous bans is based on taboos rather than reasoned argument. It was not an easy decision when 5 out of 10 voted for and 5 voted against,then four to one in favour of the report.
Why do I care again? because I'm writing a paper on it but in the Singapore context.
Just one of those days when I feel emotionally detached from the world and everything is just pieces of information waiting to be grasp and regurgitated in the exams(if applicable)
Fishy...and Co
Right now, I'm suffering from the aftereffects of too much fish.I don't think i'll ever want to eat another fish again. Seafood platter for 1 is actually seafood platter for 2 AND seafood platter for 2 is actually seafood platter for 3. I saw 2 girls sharing Seafood platter for 1 and another 3 girls sharing seafood platter for 2. Ha.. girls i thought.. Damn its so filling... So as a promotion that theres a Fish and Co at Terminal 2, people are given pieces of puzzles in which people have to collect all 4 pieces at the 4 outlets. (I have no idea where) to get a free drink.
You know sometimes you wished you could blog on stuff and secrets about people you know. But you can't they'll kill you. And it feels terrible not to be able to tell. So I guess written journals are best.
Truly happy.
All this time, I've been so obsessed with being happy I didn't realise that being happy is just a state of being. It's not a designation that you could go to. It's just something that if you want it you can have it.It didn't matter how bad things get. You could always find a way and see the good side of things.
Things that make you happy are only there for reinforcement, like an aid.
The only way to be happy is to know that you are.
Nus centennial mug NUS is giving people a license to mug, at YIH where most people MUG! It's a conspiracy I tell ya. CONSPIRACY!! I bet the people at YIH conspire to give people mugs so they would mug. okay bad theory.
Writing stuff so I'll feel happier.
This is sick. I already stop feeling depressed and started to feel sorry that humans like us could do this to animals.Pls do not watch if you do not like animals being killed and mulitated for fur. http://my.so-net.net.tw/sirwang/fur.wmv It's almost like Combat survival training I went thru except they're more cruel.
Punk'd Rox! Never fails to put a smile on my face. There's nothing I enjoy more than watching celebrities get punk'd. Ashton's the Man, Man! I guess I share the same kind of sick pleasure as him derived from playing tricks on people.
Terri Schiavo~Live or die (I vote End Her misery) No doubt euthanasia is a very sensitive topic. Too bad she can't make her own decision. I think Bush is making a pollitical agenda out of all this.I don't freaking understand what the fuss is about. I bet if she dies a lot of americans will be very sad.
Noone.
This guy is unbelievable. He would actually eat a rabbit if his demands are not met.
Typing speed test YOUR RESULTS ARE: Number of words typed: 136 Test duration: 3 min Speed: 45.3 words/min. (226 keystrokes/min.) Error penalty: 9 Accuracy: 93.4% omg I suck!!!..
spending my time pushing penpen into the water over and over again.. I'm that bored...
BOrrrringgggggggg..... sia.... Where's everybody on a sunday night? out dating??? Sighz.... Maybe I should do something. The net is secretly sapping my life juices away. I need to get a life. Life for sale anyone? (echos: anyone anyone anyone)
Red or black.
What if you could sell all your stuff go to Vegas and bet everything you own on a single Roulette roll. Red or black. You can either double everything you own or lose it all. Would you risk it all? YES! I WOULD! nothing ventured nothing gain. Life is full of taking risks. But I can't I have to be realistical , I have to study get a freaking Job blah blah blah..
Thisis hilarious. It's about Jolin promoting her book and Xiaozhu as a guests to the show called Kang xi Jia dao.. Xiaozhu's damn funny. Jolin's English is er..quite okay...(with reservations) Xiaozhu is always making impression of Jay.Now that Jay's attached. The media are mixing and matching again this time Jolin and Xiaozhu even though Xiaozhu is also rumoured to be with Selina.
Jake in progress is a nice show. It's about this publicist called Jake who spend his time dating women.
Sometimes I think I dramatize things to the extend that it becomes a big deal. When actually it's nothing. I have got to change my " look at me ! look at me! " attitude. It's not really good for me right now. I think I better keep a low profile. Low profiles are always good. Most of the people I see win on survivor or other reality shows like America Next Top Model.. keep low profile so people don't notice them and they take the win from right under the favourite's noses
Red! Cos red screams more "lucky" to me than black. Besides,the chinese have always associated good lucky stuff with red. So if I were to bet my life's fortune on a single roll. It'll be red. ~ I can't believe I'm actually considering betting on a win or lose situation.Come to think of it, it'll be kinda thrilling to make that kind of bet.
Random blabbing
Indulgence in random blabbing to clear my mind.
Stupid wq made so many spelling mistake in his nick. It's CoRporate goverNance for god's sake. I can't stand imperfection.
GAsp Zw knows z-er.
I hope Jake in progress is a nice show
Stephanie songs are such a blessing, for it soothes my tattered soul.
I miss friends. I'm gonna go see if i can pilfer it off the net.
what? there's no Scrubs this week?
I hate people who chope seats during busy periods of lunch hour. Come on a tissue paper!? you have got to be kidding me.
Self-censorship is a sin. SPEAK UP!!
Follow your dreams..When was the last time you did something you loved? Besides the one arm bandit? hmm.. don't remember.. does studying count?.. then again I don't like studying that much.
Chocolate ice creams are a blessing.yum..
There's too much blood in my caffeine!!
Snickers snack size bars are godsend.
Everytime I see the word fuzzy I think of the physics question Frank watt set where Fuzzy the duck is on another weird planet ...where the Planck constant h is not 6.63 *10^-34 but 2pi.. lolx..
Don't fix what is NOT broken. Seriously DON'T
I do not believe in double standards and advocate the equality of gender. Girls should be allowed to utter expletives to emote their anger without the occasional weird look from people.
Girls are NOT made of sugar spice and everything nice.
I think I'm evil at some point or another.
Jolin is so cute.
where do you get livestrong wristbands?
So many potato eating(jia gan dan) people in school, yet the mash potatoes are still so cheap. Law of demand violated!
DAo-ed 4 more people today. My sabre is stained with so much blood I can feed a family of vampires for weeks.
Contra to popular belief, sex != (is not equal) desperate. The nature of the two shows are vastly different and in desperate people don't talk about men like they want to sleep with them. BUt Comparison is inevitable because they are so many similarities between them. And the loyal fans of SATC need something to fill their SATC void since the show has officially ended.
Why is SMU open house not in SMU?
Why is it called a city campus? cos it's in the city?... er.. okay.
The LOTR is going to be a musical! It gonna be shown next march in Toronto and go to London six months later. I was hoping to see dancing and singing hobbits but the producer promised none of them.. Damn.
Been losing focus and feeling stupid lately. I don't really understand what the lecturer is blabbling about and I can't do my tutorials. It's not those God mode tutorials but the ones that are extremely easy to frag and I can't even figure them out. I'm so dumb.
Dinosaurs, the best and worst thing that ever happen to earth.
Seriously How long can Opec oil producer's cartel keep increasing the output of the oil so that oil prices does not rise and affect the world's economy. The demand hasn't been this high since 1980s. Let's just face it we're all too dependent and worried about the rising oil prices and that there is no clear substitute to our dependency on oil.Bottomline, we're screwed. But experts predict that our oil resources won't deplete until 2030 and can extend well beyond. So my guess is it won't deplete in my lifetime. Good luck to the future generations.
Dinosaurs, ruling the world then and running the world now. Soon we're all gonna die from them too. Fuel increase ->C02 emissions increase-> global warming ->melting ice caps -> rising sea water -> Screwed.
Dao-ness. I dao you, you dao me we are one Dao family...(from izzy) Sooner or later someone's gonna get a hurt real bad, from the blade of the dao.. okay bad joke. Seriously speaking how many people on average do you see everyday you know but do not make an attempt to say hi? Me? I think I dao-ed at least 4 people today. okay seriously I could have taken the first step to say hi, but I've been really down and anti-social lately, so its not really a good time. So Dao you!
Warning: Don't buy from the vending machine in Engine Canteen. The freezer's not working. I got a non-cold coffee of room temperature. I had to bring it home to refrigrate it. The other vending machine with the ice mocha(which tasted like crap) is like freezing cold..What the hell!
I really don't understand what's wrong with people. when you put busy, everyone wants to talk to you. I can't understand this phenomenen and when you're online no one wants to chat with you..
Wednesdays...
Older Brother. Studies have shown that older brothers are smarter. (woohoo!) Not just because they recieve more education but also that they learn from teaching and instruction their younger siblings.
Laser skirmish update
Laser skirmish update We were allow to choose from HaLo gun, M4, Spitfire, scorpion and commando plus Sniper rifles which were gotten by the time we got there.
I chose the Commando cos the range is decent enough.Jeremy is took the scorpion which is a tiny automatic gun cos he doesn't want to sweat so much.Victor was garang as usual. He took the Halo gun with grenade launcher which was freaking heavy.
So we were allow to choose out own groups. Obviously the 16 of us stuck together. We were given 9 lives each and 50 bullets which needed time to reload if used up.If you were shot dead, there would be a "urghh!" sound form your gun. Which meant you had once less live. Then if you used up your nine catty lives, there would be a longer "urgghhhhhhhhhh" sound which sounded almost orgasmic. It was funny hearing the urghh sound for the first time. So if your nine lives were used up you can't shoot anymore and you had to go to a the team cordinatoor to Respawn. Conditions~Which ever team respawned the least wins. So there were 3 teams yellow~US! Red~ Bunch of 11B holding people that looked like they had some desk job+ some mean looking dudes that looked like they are here to kick some ass. Green~ some teenager around 17-18? with their girlfriends+ A mixture of other 18-19-ish people.
I shot ps!~serve him right. He wasn't really a good ps anyway. Okay it accidential. He appeared in front of me out of nowhere behind the door and I thought he was on the dark side so I shot him. okay I have to admit most of the kills were fatricide cos we were running all around and it was dark in the room. We occasionally misfired but mostly it was okay. Kind of makes you wonder who'd really be the first to die if a war erupted. *cough PS*
Kiat found a good camping spot which overlooked 3 ways.Jax,wj and the Sgts ran around,like the chiong type people they are. Goodwin's a freak. He proned! okay He took the game too seriously. I can't blame him. He's a Cs freak too. So I guess he was trying to play the game as best he can as possible. Ryan who was beside him seeing hime prone, made a reluctant effort to squat. So we re-spawned 32 times I died once. PS died at least 4 times I think. I heard a lot of people on our team shot him. And red re-spawned 33 times. and Green re-spawned 14 times. The Coordinator note that mostly it was red and yellow fighting the greens were somewhere.
Okay Green were camping. Most of the people we were fighting are red. Green was nowhere to be found. So I guess technically we won!(delusional) woot!
Then we were playing defend the box! We're like defending a box while the other 2 teams collobrated to get the box to win. There was this code which had to be found first before cos the box is behind a door pad with number lock. It was kinda hidden behind the generator room. Jax took it and pasted it on top of a high beam which they could not find. They tried defending the room but were overrun. Nevertheless they took quite a while to locate the code.
They suck! They can't even get into our terrority even though we were outnumbered 2-1. Guess they just don't have the organisation we do. Maybe they were looking for the code. Well during the last 3 minutes, they did a final struggle, about 20+ of them charged towards us. It was a bit overwhelming but since we're all in sniping positions they were killed one by one. mInG had a spitfire which is basically a short range gun which had an area effect. So when they were charging towards the objective they were ambushed by mInG who killed them. Good job! Wahahaha
Reservist OC Jason came to look at us play. He smokes!
Laser skirmish
Went for the laser skirmish today. Shot a lot of people. It was fun.. god. I really have no mood for blogging. okay I shall end it here. maybe tomorrow when I'm in a better mood.
Open hse.
Open house. NUS open house today.Went to help out doi to get people to join the orientation camp. Short of getting my matric card out to fend off myself from overzealous fellow students who are ever so eager to stuff pieces of useless paper into your hand, I manage to skilfully dodge them like Neo did with the bullets in the first installment of the matrix.
Hitch Nice watch. Bottomline of the story, Be yourself. So that's where Fred got the miserable quote. Wonder if anyone would actually go follow the 90%-10 kissing rule tilting your head 15 degrees so your noses don't collide.Well I guess its just a guideline. Movies like this are actually sending out messages that if you be yourself, you can land yourself the girl of your dreams. I think in most cases that would not be the case. Movies like to promote idealistic values that would sink well with the public.
Global city-state.
So we're like an independent state yet struggling to become a global city, with boundarys yet not so open. Hence the term for my module evolution of a global city state.. coolz..
Moorve is more There's this loose tail ad"Moorve is more" going around buses since the start of this week. Till now I still don't know what they are trying to sell. It started of as a novelty. Hey there's a tail on that bus! Then towards the end of the week, the tail got dirtied due to being exposed on the roads for too long and has become a sight for sore eyes.
Sly and Maia What the f!! they're gonna get married!? Sly said he registered for the date of marriage with Maia out of impulse. What's he trying to pull, a Singaporean style Britney marriage??Britney kinda did the same impulse thingy Well last I heard Sly broke off with Maia over the phone while in Taiwan. Apparently they're over. Celebrity marriages they never started and never last.
Satoricially challenged Smart casual I never knew what that meant. Is it Smart or Casual? Or is it half of each. Ahhh whatever.
Why is Orchard road infested with so many people at this time of the month? It's like CNY or christmas is coming...
Leap of faith
Heard on the news that another person jumped down from a HDB.The thing about living in HDB is that at some point or another, you'd have heard someone jumping down from top storey. I've got to admit it takes a lot of guts to die that way, once you step off the ledge your life is over. If halfway down you decide that life is still worth living and all that has compelled you to make this decision doesn't really matter anymore, it's too late. That other guy who killed his family and jumped apparently had some gambling debt he can't handle. Do we expect to see more cases if a Casino built?
Banning of smoking in Public places. Another step towards smoke-free Singapore, after they increase the prices of cigerattes. In the near future we'll not only be the fine city, we'll be a smoke-free city as well.Heck, if we're gonna be Vice-free why are we contemplating a Casino?
Fun things to do on Msn. Change your nick to "You have 2 new messages in your e-mail inbox."when you're appearing offline then change your status to online, or you can change your nick to "You've got mail!" or even "You have just recieved a new message from someone@email.com" okay i'm bored. Sue me.
Movies I want to catch
Fantastic Four The poster looks conspicously dejavu-ish as its a number 4 on it, kinda like the X2 poster. Even though they're casting three relatively new unknowns and Susan storm AKA Mrs Fantastic (Jesscia Alba) ain't suppose to have the power of invisibility I'd like to catch it anyway.Furthermore, Ben Grimer aka the thing's costume looks really cool,I wonder if he really has it on or its due to some movie magic. Plus,He looks like a orange stone hulk!
Charlie and the chocolate factory. ~Tim Burton~ nuff said.
Star Wars III ~ Revenge of the sith! Rocks!!!~~"Boys will be boys"~~
War of the Worlds ~HG wells Classic of the Martin Radio hoax which has thrilled audiences.Maybe Spielberg will change the storyline, I don't know. Anything by him can't be that bad.
Hitch The cure for the common man. I love this tagline. It's sounds almost true.
Free upgrade!
Singnet upgrade my plan to 512k FOC! Although no significance detectable speed difference is felt.Maybe they think 512 and 256 has no difference so they decided to change everyone to 512.Since the price is the same for the 2 speeds, they may have decided to upgrade those with 256 connection since it raises the utility of the consumers i.e less disgruntled customers will call their service centres to complain and overall good image will be formed in the mind of consumers.
In the long run we're all dead.
No new episodes of DH till 27th March!! Sighz. Eva Longoria(Mrs Solis in DH ) was tricked by Jesse Metcalfe (John in DH) on Punk'd New Season!! I saw this guy wearing the I've been punk'd T-shirt in which the design looks the the one on the show. *starry eyes* Where do you get that shirt?? I want~SCreaMss~sighzz...
*Finally finished SSA2211 assignment where I ended up singing praises for Raffles and that guy which named Singapore what's his name.. Sang nila wu ta ma??? Ahh whateva, never had a knack for malay names anyway.
I still need a new mouse. Maybe i should get a cat? Nahhzz A mouse is fine.. GIVE ME A MOUSE... *scREams
I think my brain should do stuff that increases my overall utility...otherwise I think i'm going into a recession... (edit : omg I sound emotionally unstable after reading this again. WTF)
Kawaii ne!
Woot I think I've developed a pechant for girls in ponytails. Thanks to somebody.. They look SSsssooooo cute. Kawaii ne! In the army When Sgt rhyce told us he liked(I know its the past tense , I kinda wished he was dead) girls with pony tails, I was thinking to myself " omg why would anyone like girls with ponytails? What a sicko.." Now.. woo.. HOTT..
Fred blog today is hilarious. <"I'm horny fred..">wahahhahaa ROFL Laugh until got six pack liao.. hahahahaha Somebody should just compile a book called "Funniest conversations on MSN" On the back they will appeal to the public to send in their funny conversations. And the summary will write: New york times said " Funniest technological conversations ever!" Dallas morning news rated it 5 out of 5 stars. Bookspot said" Hilariously funny and witty!" Ah well that's only a dream.
Lap mate sucks My mouse is spoilt. I need a new mouse.Should I get a wireless mouse? or a wired one? The only advantage of a wireless mouse is you wont trip over it. cons include running away cos it's not attached, battery consumption and its more expensive. Okay wired one.
Speaking of mice... I cut myself on my pinky. Brain is gonna be so pissed at me. My pinky is immobile. I'm hurt. I need an ambulance. Somebody call an ambulance. Where's my ambulance? Hello? bleeding to death here.... okay i'm nuts.
So I'm writing a 1200 essay on why the accounts of raffles are important to the understanding of Singapore and her history. I'm only quarter way through and I feel like sleeping. I seriously do not care why it's important. *Screams.....*.
It's appalling to know that 1/2 of Singapore Sleeps after midnight as straits times reported. Well, I should try to sleep early too. My biological sleep clock is seriously screwed up. I swear if you see me now people might catch me and throw me into a zoo thinking I'm a panda. okay not that serious but still looks like one.
Testy..
I should be mathing. but I seriously don't see a freaking point wasting my time doing triple integral questions that probably have no help in the exams.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. It's just not possible to have the best of both worlds. Choose.
Russel peters. He must have the world record for the most number of races made fun of in less than an hour and lived to tell the tale. Hilariously funny dude.
One of those days
I feel like I'm having more and more of those days where I feel really down and question my ability and my purpose on this planet. I fear this maybe a prelude to suicidal tendencies. When you have no goals, no aims you're basically a mindless factory robot doing whatever that society dictates. Go to school, Get a Degree, Get a Job ,Get Married, Have kids. What about traveling the world? Seeing stuff like Mount fuji, Mona lisa, Great wall, Eiffel tower, Grand Canyon, the white house. There has got to be more to life than just what society says .
Maybe it's the constant repetition in life resulting in boredom. Huge waste consumption of western media just doesn't really cure my boredom anymore.I have got to get my mind off things. That's why I love studying, it channels your energy off the heart and gives you space to breath and subconciously forget the problems in your life. Furthermore, it's a temporary cure to the loneliness inflicted upon moi.
Tonight, hundreds of Cs1101c students will rush to the website to see the lab question which opens at midnight scrambing to finish the question before the day ends tomorrow. Lucky for me I'm over it. It's little stuff like this that give me the satisfaction of secretly laughing at those poor students with their hard to do lab. okay i'm pathetic, sue me.
