OH 4 DOWN. 4 PAPERS DOWN. today was once when i felt helpless during a paper. i hate that feeling. i resolve to study harder. and i cannot study at home if i want to concentrate. too many distractions at home. I'VE GOT TO HAVE MORE SELF DISCIPLINE! puitz.

let's see, had a long session of pool with judea, yy, ex and wg, then proceeded to have a long slow supper, now i'm not as tired yet and wonder if i should sleep soon, since my neck is aching very badly. i tell you studying is bad for health. very bad.

it's been a long while since i exercised so i've got to get back to trying to lose weight.. i think i put on weight by drinking lots of vanilla coke during my exams.. hurhurhur

well, last paper next monday. i shall take a break today(wed) as well. and study on thur, fri, sat, sun
that's enough time to cover a whole damn lot of shit!

to those who've finished their exams, GET A JOB! DO SOMETHING WORTHWHILE AND DON'T ANNOY THOSE WHO HAVEN'T!
to those who haven't, ALL THE BEST!

closer and closer we get to the exams! wargh.
today i decided to take a break and got to catch johnny english. hilarious! the antics of rowan atkinson never fail to amuse me.

even when the puns and jokes were already shown on tv, it's still funny.

i got a new waterbottle, "thanks dear. =)" and let's see.. progress with work is fine i suppose..

ah yes.. i want to address this issue about how somehow i'm so irked by skaters who cannot skate, but have the best equipment. it used to be skaters would buy skates according to their skill level, and not how deep their pockets were.. but now, for the sake of higher profits, these good equipment, that are honestly and totally, ridiculously unsuitable for beginners, are being sold to them. these skates are soft, with little support, and being a beginner, skating with zero support doesn't help in posture, which means you don't learn how to skate properly.. ah.. shoot.

but that's how life is. you got the deep pocket you get the good stuff, even if it's not suitable for you. it's not the skates, it's the skate.
i simply hope that the fact that having good equipment will motivate the "un-deserving" to improve and use the skate to its max potential. and i hope more buy the expensive stuff so it'll be cheaper for me! >P

i'm such a bitch...

initial d roxx man!
=P
alright i know i'm supposed to be studying!
hehehehe

Thursday, April 17, 2003

ah study study study. so much to study.
they should abolish exams. and because of sars now i have to be in sch 1 hr before the exams begin to be screened, and have to wait for 1 freaking hour before the exams begin. puitz.

then i think there's this dude masquerading as a honours student when he isn't one.. why ah? funny...

i've got to sleep even earlier and stop sleeping in the afternoons! hahahaha.. well, nothing interesting these few days, since i'm always mugging at home..

till another day~

funny how when you want to finish up lessons either the students disappear, or the weather plays tricks on you, or both come at the same time! looks like all my lessons have to be pushed to after 5th may when i finish my exams to be finished. by lessons i mean those that i'm teaching at ecp, where i teach part time as a skating instructor.

and it's funny how some people, even though they know they have a responsibility, just somehow don't do their job to the best of their abilities even though they know they have to, just because they'll be leaving.

politics abound in skating and it really is quite annoying to see how people tend to be selfish and greedy and all that.. someone it's difficult to come to a concensus and work toward building the sport together. it's funny when you see how speedskating has lots of potential but has fallen apart due to all the politics within the different teams, and between teams.

i'm glad i'm taking a break from skating. i can't skate with my knee in this condition. so it's good that i get time off to recover while taking a break from all that politics.

sigh. i need to work harder on my revision. somehow i don't feel the sense of urgency.

this sucks. i hurt my knee today AGAIN! damned backward hockey slide.. got my knee into some weird position.. now i'm limping around as i wear a knee guard...

anyways.. those who've been reading have been consoling me on my lost pda.
haha. i shall now recount the story of how i lost my pda and got it back..

last friday i had my 4265 midterm in lt27 and so i went there and just before the test started i ran down to get my windbreaker which was in the bag with the pda at the front pouch. so the jacket comes out i go for my test go about my day. saturday comes. i can't find the bloody pda! and i look around and bemoan my horrible fate. sunday passes and i'm still searching for it. in the car, all around the house... monday morning.. 730 am.. i decide to give lt27 a shot..
i go right to the stage, having suspicions that it dropped out when i took my jacket and VIOLA! the pda was there! under the stage! wahahahaha.. imagine my luck...
the situation is like this, my pda in the pouch with the jacket, came out when i ripped the jacket out of my bag so quickly. and the thing was i took the jacket out with the pouch facing away from me! so anything that dropped out probably flew under the stage.. hurhur

stupid me. the incident became a reminder for me to check before i leave. but then again i was in a hurry to leave the lt before the 15 minute no-leave timezone...

time to sleep.. i'm behind in my revision already. fookity fook~

Saturday, April 12, 2003

woohoo!
i can't sleep! dang dandy dang! i went to FR after watching some initial D and met up with changwen and had an impromptu nightskate
from FR we made our way thru tanjong rhu(don't skate there the conditions aren't that good), to stadium cove, thru kallang blvd, then down nicoll, republic avenue,
then esplanade, then raffles place then finally stopping for a drink at 7Eleven opposite lau pa sat.. and surprise surprise~ we didn't eat! wahlanz.. shouldn't eaten something because now i think i want to eat something.

i've got to teach at ecp later today, just 1 lesson so i think i'll just teach and be done with it and get back home to study finance, since my schedule points toward finance and with that dismal midterm results i have to put in a lot more effort to buck up for finance! wargh.

this new table lamp i bought from ikea isn't too bad. i'll take a picture of it soon to show, along with maybe some random shots of nonsense in my room.

anyway some people have complained about the music on my blog so i'm taking it down for everyone's sake.. don't want my readers to be pissed off with me cuz their ie crashes.. hruhruhruhurhurhur...

and here's the random pic of the day from my collection
Cheenzilla
Cheenzilla saw a zergling coming for him....
alright. haha. last night was a last minute session at yen's place! tequila rules man!

and as promised, the pictures of flora and spikey!

Flora the bigger monster
FLORA! She's huge man, bigger than my palm..

Spikey the smaller but fiercer monster
Spikey! He likes to be handfed!

alright these are my pets.. haha.. i hope you guys enjoy. i may be updating less over the next few days till 5th may cuz of exams.. ;)

The Stationery Avenger!

long boring day. i've planned my study schedule and i hope i can stick to it and complete what i need to study in time.

people have been telling me how some of my musings about bgr do seem to reflect what has happened, or is happening to them. i think our lives are mostly similar, leading it under the same influences and stresses, just with different people... and it will happen that things happening to us will be very similar..

i couldn't find the bath sand for cookie today, went to parkway, sams, this other shop and one inside parkway, then went to bedok, then simei and couldn't find the brand that cookie uses... damn horrible. just when i need it the brand is out of stock... angry angry

got myself a mocha frap at parkway while i was there.. then i started developing a headache.. damn the caffeine.. and now i think i'm not going to be able to sleep cuz of the bloody caffeine... argh...

my papers are from 23rd - bizlaw, 24th - finance, 26th 4265 29th 4264 and 5th may it marketing...
not a lot of time but i hope i can finish studying in time.. wait.. why am i even repeating myself..

anyways time to sleep. study hard.

guilty as charged. =|
why's the tom yam soup in singapore so spicy.. i prefer the ones in thailand.. less spicy more sour.. wah shiok.. the glass noodle salad.. pad thai i think.. that's nice too but the mini chilli is really powerful.

a whole day wasted slacking away. no work done. got to start planning and studying for the exams! it's about time i got around to preparing to make sure i don't let my cap fall below a certain level.

how strange when you dream of things that seem so real, that you meet people that you've forgotten about, and you experience sensations you wouldn't if you were really awake.
sometimes i think our dreams only come at the final few seconds of our sleep. we'd sleep throughout the night and then as we're nearing the waking time, our mind anticipates it and we formulate a dream that fits the conditions before you wake up, so sometimes in the dream you can hear the phone ring, when in actual fact it's really the phone ringing in reality and you actually dream about hearing the phone ring..

like an eulogy. tsk tsk.
sometimes when you're far away and not in control of yourself, you may discover your true self, what you want to be, what you hope to be and what you achieve to be,
it's been a hectic and terrible semester. today i had a okay day in school, followed by a great night at yen's place having the best session of bonding with my friends. i never imagined it to be so good. it's 530am now and i'm just about getting more sober from my whole night of wanton boozing. sometimes in life we just have to let go. i'm so glad i met my great pals who came to drink with me. and those who wern't able to make it due to health reasons, that's you bro. you helped me thru the toughest times in soc. i'd like to say thank you to everyone who'se been the greatest pals and my loveliest guides in life thru my 3 yrs of uni life. i love you all. thank you.

you can lie down on the grass then stare into the night sky full of beautiful jewels imagine you drive up a mountain you can see the city lights down below darkness beyond
or maybe can see so far you can see thunderstorm forming far away you can lie down and stare at the stars..
how to find a place like that in singapore.. i think there's still a good chance in australia.. to find a place like that...

it's been a busy week.. so busy i haven't had time to update.. so busy i haven't had any chance to reflect on the day, and so busy i'm so stoned at the end of the day to remember aything significant.

anyways today was good, managed to put a conclusion to one of my lessons at ecp.. and looks like more students would be able to complete their lessons.

anyway i curse the ass that stole my pda. may he/she fail the exams, and everything he/she does in life.

i need a new pda.

if you're healthy
you can go to the cinema, go to discos, go swimming.
if you're feeling unwell, avoid these places.
such common sense. but the sars thing clouds judgement.

my eyes hurt so not going to write too much.

taxi 3 is a very nice show. luc besson does it again with the skating and fast cars. what a perfect combination for me. the french are really there man!

okay. eyes REALLY hurt.

ciao.

Thursday, April 03, 2003

life is one big complex mystery. sometimes why do people say they want something then do another, that's in total contratiction to what they say they want, and in end after they realise what has happened, they complain and kick up a big fuss about things not going they way they want it to be, forgetting that fact that actually, in the beginning it was them that brought it this way.
people are social creatures, we need friends, family, loved ones... and when one part of our lives go missing, then somehow it's not easy to deal with the sudden loss. it happens so very often. loss of a loved one, kin, friend, and you just sit there in shock, in wonder, at what's going to go on. many times it helps when you have other things to help keep your mind off things. i didn't really want to come here and write but i think writing may help me feel better by facing my emotions and thinking about how to deal with them. the exams are coming and i have to concentrate. i've not been working as hard as i should be and i know it myself but it's difficult to push myself when there are so many other commitments. true it is always easy to blame it on other commitments, but since i took them up, i should learn to manage myself my time and what not. this sem has been a very very busy one and i hope i will not have to go thru all this nonsense ever again.
i'm single and i'm not looking. i'm not available and i don't intend to be for a while. it's time to start concentrating on the important things in life now. getting the degree i need to get myself a proper job.
money makes the world go round, as for now, it's something i intend to make lots of before anything else. call me materialistic. i don't care. this world is a cruel one. why be nice anymore?
hope those with sars recover soon.

Tuesday, April 01, 2003

it's a long long long boring tiring day. went thru the whole day without any specific purpose. and law was cancelled, probably due to sars. quite freaky. i hope the whole situation improves for the better if not it's going to be really horrible.

too tired to write more. till tomorrow.
