on an ANTI-MUGGING/PROJECT/TUTORIAL STRIKE again...
man!
i do this all the time!

just needed to do something else...
especially after killing gawd-knows-how-many brain cells over DM project...

bumped into my steam-iron pal Vincent in FoE on monday...
was surprised to see him..
considering he graduated last year...
he has longer hair now...
and he almost didnt recognise me...
dammit...
am i that forgettable?
but it feels so good to bump into old friends...
i was happily bouncing ard for the rest of the day...

after all my passive gossip mongering in my younger days...
how X doesnt seem suitable for Y...
coz Y is so much prettier/smarter/handsome-er/taller/outspoken-er...
blah...

i think it's all coming back to haunt me...
bad karma...
not that i hear of any rite now...
but sometimes guilt puts in in greater pain than an actual blow does...
doesnt it?
i know this is like overdone already...
like i harped over it for way too long...
but i havent gotten over the fact that he's too good for me...
and he is, in fact...
too good to be true...
i'm not afraid of blogging it over and over again...
despite him actually reading my blog...
coz i think it's better that he is actively aware of it...
not discover it like 10 mths later...
and thus, decide to do something drastic about it...
sometimes i look at him sleeping (pigging like alwaz) on the bed...
while i am hard at work...
i think to myself...
~what a wonderful world....~
okok...
shant digress...
i'm just thinking what is he gonna cost me in my next life...
not that i believe in all those...
but i still slap myself to see if i am dreaming...
and i get so insecure sometimes i go crazy when he's not around...
which is bad really...
like i'm being too dependent on him...
not being able to live my own life...
i've alwaz prided myself on being independent...
being able to walk alone to the canteen to buy food, go shopping alone...
at one point...
i preferred solitude to anything thing else...
but i find myself being unable to do so any longer..
and i cant fathom why...
i used to think that once i get a bf...
i can just lie back and heckcare what the whole world thinks of me...
but now...
i realised...
getting a bf is the reason why i have to care what the whole world thinks of me...
queer sounding?
abstract?
maybe its coz u're not just responsible urself...
but the two of you as a whole...
gawd...
if only i can understand what's going on in my mind...
for now...
i'll be content being a hermit...
PGP is quite comfy...
other than the fact that i havent been clearing my room properly...
and the dust is getting to me...


this sounds terribly wrong...
but...
it feels comfortin' to see ur guy in a terrible fluster when u start shedding tears...
somehow...
at least you know you're not shedding tears for the wrong person...
people who know him, please dont confront him...
he did NUTHING...
i'm just making a GENERAL statement...


just realised that zen is a superbly hilarious guy...
he's the latest addition to my econs group...
and boy...
he's a humour mill...
lame jokes...
dumb oneliners..
and sometimes even simply the way he says things are just...
DAMN FUNNY...
and we get along fine...
which is amazingly superb...
ok...
i think i just get along better with guys as a whole...
so sue me!

and we got to a mutual suaning stage in less than 2 weeks...
i think thats amazing...
wahhaha...
maybe it's just that he's a nice and sociable person...
I AM TOO!
okok...
digressing...
to think i was thinking my econs klass is full of boring people...
actually...
it's really just that i havent had the chance of getting to know all of them better!
no time, no time!

laremy promised me a ride on his scooter!
woohoo!
free ride back to PGP after DM lesson maybe?
lalala...
i'm living it good!

it's amazing how life's ups and downs can be so distinctly different...
so...
regardless of how life sucks/rocks...
i think life is worth celebrating...
simply for it's unique diversity...

It's not fats, it's soft muscles...
Cellulite?
that's muscle definition...

ok...
the fingers itchy to blog again...
actually not really...

wasnt a big enough turn out to call it a class gathering...
but it was good enough...
YXY...
YC...
twig...
weisong...
SML...
& ME!
okok...
it wasnt THAT great...
but i really havent laughed as much in eons...
miss those people like hell...

left NUS for PS with yxy...
i think its probably the first time that we have to travel together somewhere...
and never expected it to be so crappily fun!
wah lau...
we went on and on about his 4.8...
okok...
it was just me...

and how un-street-savvy he was...
his k-box craze...
blah blah blah...
from clementi all the way till PS...

met the rest...
ate pizza at pizza hut...
coz we were a bunch of hungry pple...
rest of places damn crowded...
wanted to catch movie...
but no good timing..
and i refuse to watch EYE10...
please...
i stay in hostel...
i HAVE TO bathe ALONE...

wanted to play pool...
stef cant play pool...
stef eye power specialist though...

walked all the way to selegie...
no space...
yxy went back...
so twig, sml and i went YC house to play mahjong...
finally learnt about the one tai, two tai thingy...
and what not...
at least i'm a little better than before...
wahaha!
i wanna be mahjong queen!!!
but after like 3 games...
YC and twig got sick of us playing so slow and asking so many questions...
we switched to Bridge and i won like crazy...
wahhahaha...

it's a mundane post that undermines the fun that i had...
laughing at everyone's encounters with short skirts...
NEW REVELATION: GUYS ARE MORE TRAUMATISED BY SHORT SKIRTS THAN AROUSED BY THEM.
YC playing with his teddy bear and attacking my new stuffed cow...
resorting to underhand tactics during bridge...
more like undertable actually...
and more crappy stuff...
(i'm resorting to plain descriptions coz my brain's dead tired...)

more soon.
i love 0102.

i really shouldnt be blogging this much...
when i haves tons to do...
but i just cant help it...
i'm addicted to blogging...
HELP!!!
i need to get my fat ass down to studying...
and that reminds me...
i need to lose weight...
darn!
so many things to do!
so little time!
bleah...
that sounds so cliche.

met up with yxy, william and stella for lunch today...
great to see them again after so long...
okok...
thats an exaggeration...

yxy i see almost every lecture that i dont pon...
and stella...
she's alwaz running ard in my mind...
say "oooooohhhhh..."
kk....
it was crappy fun...
pretty noisy too i must say...
wahhaha...
miss the bunch...
hopefully the movie tomorrow evening goes through...
and i finish my econs writeup...
even if they're watching The Eye 10...
a horrow movie which i SO detest...
i wont protest...
i miss the class..
and i'd better take the chance to go out...
before the exams close in...
ahhhh!!!

ok...
story of the day...
i think it was yesterdae morning...
guy had class and i was slacking around in his room...
was lazy to trudge back to my room...
so i just decided to stay in while he went for class...
where he'll tapow lunch so that we can eat together later...
that ISNT the gist of it...
what happened was that Maintenance started knocking on the door...
door of the room i shouldnt be in...
coz guy complained about leaking sink a couple of days ago...
i know they have the keys to the room...
and that i'm in deep shit if i'm discovered in the room...
didnt know what to do...
tiptoed to the door...
pulled the chain on them...
and ran to hide under the blankie!
*pray that they go away soon*
i couldnt possibly scream for them to go away...
terribly traumatic..
i WILL trudge back to my room from now on when he has to leave his room...
NO MORE HIDE UNDER BLANKET ANYMORE!
guy ignored how obviously traumatised i was...
he just kept laughing when he called back after his class..
=P

but on the bright side...
he has been nuthing less than fantastic...
cant imagine anyone else who is willingly to trudge down to NUH at 3am with me...
just coz i had a craving for fishball noodles...
especially when he hates noodles...
i did agree to walk to NUH at 2am with berw the other nite...
but that was coz i was on anti-homework strike...


back to econs for now.
GANBATTE!!!

wrote this for nuthing...
so instead of letting a piece of writing go to waste...
here it is...


The NUS Windsurfing Championship is an annual event held off the coast of PA East Coast Sea Sports Centre. This year’s event, on the 12th and 13th of February, attracted 19 participants from NUS, bringing together windsurfers from almost all the faculties; except for Dentistry and Law, when our lawyer-to-be fell sick over the weekend. The turn out, while seemingly small, is encouraging as it was the first weekend of the Lunar New Year; (in other words, opportunity cost of braving the high winds and great waves with us is the number of hongbaos one can collect over the CNY weekend).

Over the two days of the Championships, thoroughly blessed with bright sunshine and approximately 10 knots of wind, we managed to run a total of 7 races, allowing 1 discard. It was an interesting experience having so many boards trying to start on time on a short start-line. Collisions, ‘diving-incidents’, shouts of “Starboard!” or “Leeward!” (?!!?) were just part and parcel of racing. Some of us, being first-time racers had trouble finishing the course on some races, especially when the winds began to pick up and became rather hard to manage. What struck me as heartwarming is to see windsurfers; rivals and once-strangers, rafting up between races, sharing racing strategies and tips on how to point the board higher or increase board speed.

Our Race Officer of the event, former national windsurfing coach, Mr. Tan Kim Yeow, ensured that the races ran smoothly and that all racers adhered to ISAF Rules of Sailing. Under his professional guidance, many of us learnt a lot during his end-of-day debriefs, where he points out our chronic mistakes and gives us pointers on how to improve our race techniques. These short lessons on race strategy and tactics made us all the more aware of the elements around us during course racing and instilled in us, a new-found respect for the sport we have already grown to love.

In my opinion, this event, while small-scaled, is a success in many aspects. We emerged from the competition, better and more experienced windsurfers, having learnt a tremendous amount from our peers and identified our shortcomings. Healthy competition made friends out of strangers and strengthened friendships amongst those already acquainted. The event ended with a prize-giving ceremony and ‘wheelbarrow-barbeque’ party; where we ate, we drank, we tossed yusheng.

To sum it simply, it was a great experience organizing and participating in this competition, we closed the event with lessons learnt, friendships strengthened, thousands of incinerated skin cells and hands blistered.

i kinda refused to start on my maths tutorial...
coz i am freaking satisfied with the fact that i have done the statics questions that i was supposed to hand in to my TA by tuesday...
and discussed econs project with the rest of my mates...
i did up and sent them the project minutes like in a jifty...
so proud...
YEAH RITE!
i'm supposed to get my lazy ass back to work...
but do allow me to ramble on...

i've recovered from my 'depression' i guess...
sometimes i think it's part of my attention-grabbing ploys...
just that no one gave me extra attention since that post...
got abit sian...
so i took myself out of it...
how convenient...
oh well...
i pride myself on the ability to get in and out of shit by myself...
whahaha...
oh well...
i'm no star-blogger where readers give in to my every whimper...
and get flustered when i said i broke a toenail or something...
though i have a blue-blacked big toenail...
which hasnt recovered since donkey years...
he says to put it in hot water...
to clear the dried blood...
but i think its a ploy to cook my poor toe...
so that he can laugh at me again...
granted...
he meant well...
he had better!


think i didnt blog this...
but i finally finished the freaking jigsaw!
damn...
one whole afternoon of bending over the floormat...
which the jigsaw was on...
neckache...
wanted to give up...
until i managed to convince sweet diana to come over to help me...
she did...
and we spent about an hour...
trying to fit pieces of THE SAME COLOUR!!!
whahaha...
and finally...
its done!
managed to flip it over w/o destroying it too...
this have you gotta be proud of me...
i din have no dumpling board...

at least the whole traumatic experience was worth it...
though i spied that many of the phrases seem rather familiar...
plagarism!
but considering how traumatised i was by the entire episode...
i think it's amazing that he finished it in like 1 week...
i think i took 4...


intensive studying MUST start next week...
i dont wanna remain a 3.7...
okok...
lets be more realistic...
i dont wanna be worse than 3.7...
and for that...
i need divine help...

having a bout of depression...
pretty weird actually...
out of nowhere...
all of a sudden...
just feel like crying...
for no reason at all...

maybe it just dawned on me that the exams are approaching...
and i am screwed coz of my non-existent preparations...
out of my 5 mods...
i dont have any that i can safely say to be confident in...
unlike last sem...
when i actually felt confident writing about landscapes...
or crapping through cinema-related theses...
this sem is crap...
really...
havent been putting enough effort in work...
and regretting it all at the end of it...
sucks...
to the very core...
sometimes i dont know why i walk right into this trap...
when i jolly well know how this all is gonna turn out...
i have 2 projects due in 2 weeks...
and i havent got much started...
we know how projects can only be effectively done at the eleventh hour...
argh...
we dont seem to be heading in the right track...
and i really cant imagine how terrible everything will turn out...

nursing a bout of insecurity as well...
everything now seems so transient...
as pretty as it could be...
it just seems so possible that everything might start slipping away...
trying hard to cope with this myself...
but i dont seem to be doing very well...
i might be simply putting too much thought in things that dont deserve my time...
but i cant help it can i?
i cant help what i feel...
i'm supposed to be happy...
OVER-THE-MOON happy...
but it swings pretty badly...
and i dont know why...
maybe it's because SUPER Happy Days make Gloomy Days SUPER gloomy...

...and he thought i was low-maintenance...

as terrible as this might sound...
i've been reading suckball.com...
IT'S NOT PORN!
STOP GIVING ME THAT LOOK!
the following excerpt from louis' article was really pretty...
hope he doesn't sue me or something...

"Furthermore, there is nothing greater than falling asleep with someone in your arms without even knowing it. Last thing you remember is having a conversation and you have absolutely no clue how you fell asleep.

Then you wake up, and for just that moment, nothing in the world disturbs you. There is nothing else in your mind except the thought of the person next to you. You stop thinking about your pointless existence, about how miserable your life is because for that single instant, nothing feels wrong. Nothing.

If I could think of a purpose to exist, it would be for that moment."

another mind boggling tuesday...
skipped econs lect...
coz i wanted to have enough sleep for DM test...
had DM test...
grabbed a sandwich and coffee from arts canteen...
went for econs tutorial...
went through the test questions during DM tut...
felt terrible...
coz i know i've done terribly...
gawd...
think the last 10 weeks have come to naught...
feel like such a failure...
apparently today's econs lecture was really dense...
and skipping it was a near-suicidal move...
damn...
so much for decision making skills...

walked past a fren's boyfriend like thrice today...
it's pretty weird being able to talk to him online...
but he probably doesnt know me in person...
so he's probably wondering why am i staring at him like that...
but oh well...
maybe i mixed him up with someone else as well...
i'm bad at remembering faces esp if i only met them like once or twice...

meeting parents for dinner...
going for my favourite fish soup...
yummy yummy yummy...
i know i'm pretty darn spoilt to have them pick me...
bring me to dinner some place in town...
then get them to send me back to campus again...
but what can i do?
i miss them...
i've been spending weekends in hostel...
even taxi-drivers i happened to meet advise me to go back more often...
as if they already know i spend so much time out...
i miss home...
no doubt...
grandparents miss me too...
apparently grandad keeps asking my dad when i'll be home...
but i really cant work from home...
and the convenience of working in hostel is really too great...
argh...
thats why i applied for PGP next sem again...
cant imagine having to travel back to sengkang when i'm done with school...
i dont think i'll ever get to do any work...

he can grasp concepts so much better than i do...
that whenever i have prbs in my mods that he doesnt take...
he can read a para on the required concept...
and explain it to me in its entirety...
effortlessly...
if only i was that great...
not that he is...
sometimes i think he smokes me too...

it makes me feel kinda lousy sometimes...
why i cant seem to understand something that he can...
inferiority...
anti-superiority...
but what would i do without him?

Damien Rice - Cannonball

still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
still a little hard to say what's going on

still a little bit of your ghost your weakness
still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That i can’t say what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love, taught me to lie
Life, taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

still a little bit of your song in my ear
still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love, taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon..
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
so come on courage
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose her
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

watched Hitch on wednesday...
it was great...
by my standards...
as long a comedy makes me laugh...
and i dont feel that the jokes were recycled or slapstick...
i think it's a good comedy...
okok...
for those of you who love reading between the lines...
and dread when there is nuthing to be uncovered...
yes yes...
the reason is great company...
cuz in good company...
the suckiest movies are okay too....

but seriously...
hitch was funny...
and it was pretty...
about dating...
about love...
about being true to oneself...
about how the most impossible could be possible...
how true love overcomes all odds...
not very realistic...
but oh well...
i bet the audience feels happily deceived...

though i cried...
when Hitch got hurt...
*ouch*...

things happened over the last couple of days...
but there's a limit to the amount i should disclose on this not-very-private space...
to be fair to the other person...
but i guess it turned out ok...
coz i learnt things that i would have never have known before...
even if the truth in those things is questionable...
not that i think they are...
they are enough to pacify me...
and i'm content...
truly...
i'm sorry for being such a handful of late...
and being the freeloader who keeps passing the bill to you...
and the pull-blanket-over-head and "hmpf!" brat...
thanks for being sweet to me all the same...


was chatting to weijie...
wf's bro...
when i was supposed to be studying fervently for DM...
been some times since i last spoke to him...
almost a year since we last met...
still the funny guy he has always been...
sometimes i wonder how some people in my life walk in and out so carelessly...
when i hope so much for them to be around more...
but there's just no space...
no time...
for everyone...
and that sucks...
i miss my pals...
my life now...
while blissful...
seems a little one dimensional compared to his...
and maybe the other dimension i might have...
is the little audience i built reading this blog...
c'mon people...
dont stay hidden behind those walls...
i miss alot of you...
and want desperately to meet up and catch up...
i want my bballers...
my surfers...
my TKGians...
my 0102...
my council...
and the others who do not belong in these groups...
call me!
date me!
please!
(after the exams hor...
or when i dont have tests...)


i need a hair cut...
badly...
mum insists on a dyejob...
but that costs money..
and i hate wasting money...
i want time to buy stuff i want...
but no money, no time...
i think i'm having a really sad life..
if you're thinking how come i can blog when i am forever saying i have no time...
you have not noticed the times i blog at...
shops would have closed...
and most of the time...
blogging occurs past midnite...
bleah...


kk...
i better go...

my tuesdays alwaz end with a terrible headache...
and either the feeling of triumph having understood the cheemalogies of the day...
or in deep depression of all that i could not grasp in the entire 8hrs...
such are USP modules...
actually only the ones that i'm taking now i guess...
being my first time diving head first into econs...
doing Economic Policy Analysis when i dont even have the bare essentials of econs...
or trying to do business analysis with my Decision Making class...
i dont know whether to feel as if engin mods were better suited for me...
coz i think i'm doing equally bad in both...
engin and usp...
which is really sad actually...

today was one of the rarer occasions that i felt involved during econs...
i didnt do the tutorial...
but i did skim through almost all of the 11 readings...
SKIM...
becoz each was, on average, a 1000-word article full of economics jargon...
i felt interested...
in the flow...
and when i felt as if i was truly learning something...
we were discussing big stuff...
history of co-operatives like NTUC...
nation politics with regards to aviation...
while i did not catch the econs part...
i felt the discussion was fruitful...
and i walked out of tutorial understanding much more about collusions, supermarkets, GLCs, national pride, aviation industries, jobs and how they can be interlinked...
it felt as if a whole new world was opened in front of me...
things i never saw b4....
or bothered to find out about...
THIS is what learning is about...
...not scoring well in exams...
though i'm pretty sure i have to...
else all that i've absorbed today would be deemed obsolete...


today was also one of the rarer ocassions that i attempted the tutorial for DM...
my presentation for my case kinda screwed up...
largely due to my fault...
and i feel superbly bad for it...
but what was more pressing is the fact that my prof didnt really address my qn...
which i approached him with after klass...
it was a counter to his solution...
and i really needed an answer coz i was pretty sure of mine...
but he simply dismissed my argument...
while tidying up his stuff...
only fueling my frustration with his apparent nonchalance...
he is a nice prof...
and i know that...
so it was kinda =P for me...
oh well...
i'll just go back to staring at it more...
with more intensity...
*if you hear about fire in PGP...
maybe i morphed into cyclops...*

i'm fine...
just abit sore...
that my enthusiasm and effort...
was not met with understanding...
coz i'm not alwaz this hardworking ya know?
and also that i thot i had something over my prof...
rare to catch ur prof with a mistake ya?


HIGHLIGHTS of TODAY...
1. my lappy broke a diving record today...
...nosedived from 1m to the hard marble floor...
2. not-so-small-sized guy squashed my poor toes when the bus jerked...
...that included my ugly blue-blacked with dried blood one...
3. i did okay for my econs response paper...
...even though i confused my prof with my own confusion abt market structures...
4. i finally had my potato salad...
...after wanting to eat it for 1 week...
5. my econs klassmate, who happens to be lu's BMT buddy, doesnt like my smell...
...he waits for me to sit down first before taking a seat far away from me...

*confused*
...coz i dunnoe what to feel about today...
will blog photos to attempt to salvage my sliding mood...
ciao...

maths test today...
or actually yesterdae...
considering that it's already 0430hrs Sunday morning...
*sings Maroon5's "~sunday morning rain is falling...~"

the paper was pretty ok...
though i did quite a bit of tikaming...
using educated speculation...
my 'throw-eraser' method has proven quite unsuccessful...
considering i got below average marks for physics...
i got 8 while the average was something like 8.5...
damn...
must improve my eraser...
*cut the elongated sides*
but luckily maths was a MCQ...
coz alot of my answers are derived using play cheat ways...
muahahhaa...
wont get too high...
passing with slightly above average will justify a mini-celebration...

watched Ray...
fantastic music...
ooh-la-la!
though i wasnt too impressed with Ray himself...
Jamie Foxx did great though...
just that i've never been too impressed with marital infidelity or drug use...
was cringing at his choice of women after his wife...
the constant flirting...
the silently-suffering wife...
the neglected kids...
sad...
but probably true...
not just in Ray...
but in the real world as well...
are women destined to be toyed?
cheated of their feelings?
i know infidelity is not bounded by gender...
and that females do cheat on their husbands as well...
think Unfaithful...
probably yujin's favourite movie...
and we wonder why...
*smirks*

but according to Hollywood stereotypes...
the males are usually the wu-gui-wang-ba-dan ones...
i can seriously and maturely accept if the man had a change of heart...
and decide to go with some other woman...
but not when he practically hops from one to another...
and keeps a back-up like that...
i know feelings change...
but one has to be responsible for his actions...
though we constantly joke about one another's 16 bfs and 26 gfs...
i seriously hope that it's not even partially true...
personally i think that at any one time...
it is not possible to be emotionally involved with more than one person...
as idealistic as it might sound...
i feel that if there comes a time when there is doubt...
deliberation between two choices...
there is no love...
it is lust...


went for dinner after the movie...
suggested the place he suggested a few weeks ago...
that we didnt manage to go coz the concert ended late...
was promised a live band and stuff...
but we didnt get to see that...
coz it was upstairs of the eatery/bar...
and guy was more concerned over the insufficiency of the lamb chop...
and there was this dying urge to get one of his subs...
so we left after an unjustifiably expensive dinner...
and quite an amount of 2nd hand smoke...
got the the sub he so wanted...
and i have the feeling that the chelsea match was at the back of his mind...
went back to PGP...
read up on korean movies together...
played minesweeper flags with haojie while impersonating him...
until his parents came to get him...

and i embarked on my Decision Making presentation work...
those numbers give me a splitting headache man!
no less!
but finally thats done...
though i have no clue what the numbers mean...
or what i managed to prove...
or what business solution i am supposed to provide my case study with...
lalalalaaa...
*sing with me!*

but that's not before i surfed my daily dose of blogs and friendster sites...
i seriously wonder why i do all that...
when, more often than not, they make me cringe so badly...
maybe it's fun...
it's why YOU, dear reader, read my blog anyway...
though i frequently wonder why you're even reading...
when i'm just blabbering my daily share of verbal waste...
oh well...
feed those hungry, prying eyes!
though until now i'm still wondering why i'm addicted to blogging...
cant explain the feeling i get after i blog...
seriously...
i think this is having detrimental effects on my social life...
i'm having less things to talk about in real life...

does having a significant other necessarily mean higher expenses?
he was complaining to me how broke he has become...
had only 2 bucks in his wallet...
though he signed for dinner...
then he did a "you pay!" at the subway counter...
the cashier looked at me in awe...
and i had to try convince her with my casual demeanour that he's not my gigolo...
or anything of that nature...
gawd...
but seriously...
think we have been spending too much...
and too much out of his pocket...
feel bad...
and feeling bad aint good...
oh well...
so...
let me pay for stuff when i have cash...
coz that doesnt usually happen very often...
but do it discreetly...
i dont want no convincing more pple...


need sleep....
zzzzZZZZZZZZ...

gawd...
