some random thoughts

initially had quite alot of little itty-bitty stuff to write about, but suddenly it's kind of blur in my head... hmmm... maybe it'll come back to me as i keep typing. this is just another absolutely random post.

my nose started running suddenly today. maybe it didn't want to go to school either. so i just took a 2++ hour nap. it still feels a little on edge, like anything could set it off again, but i'm trying to control it. it's kind of got a mind of it's own. maybe if i cross my eyes long enough and keep staring at it then it'll behave itself hahaha i wish...

i'm feeling the pressure piling on already even though school just started. my roomie's gpa is 3.6, my neighbour is 4.3, which is one whole point above mine. he got A for all his 3 cores. my god... 2 Cs can really screw up your gpa. even though i was really determined not to get another C after my maths 1 screw up in special sem, i'm just happy i passed the stupid life science. at least i don't have to take it again. somehow computing and chemistry don't seem as big a problem for me as life science, so i'm going to push for As. i mean... i've only got 3 cores this sem, so if i don't do well i can go shoot myself in both my feet, smash my face against the wall and throw myself off a cliff (assuming i can find a cliff nearby). or maybe i can just stand in the live firing range, since it's just across the road from my hall WAHAHAHAHA

chinese new year is coming!!!!!!!!!! even though my family isn't really supposed to celebrate this year, but somehow we're still getting invitations for lunches and dinners. don't understand why... but oh well. but before i can enjoy all the hearty (i.e. extremely unhealthy) cny goodies, i need to pass my ippt and get a $200 hongbao from the government! hahaha since it's set aside for us, just take it! but i need to do alot more training. haven't been running since before my exams? holy crap that's damn long ago... *shakes head* can start tonight. since studies aren't in high key yet, can train more. make myself shag it's ok. can spend more time running also. just need to get my stamina up and burn off this hideous thing that's been accumulating slightly north of my waist =p 200 DOLLARSSSSS!!!!

my timetable this sem is much better than last sem. no more 830 lessons on monday mornings. instead i start at 1130. how shiok is that. of course it's not as good as arts people who can have 3 day weeks and stuff, but at least mine's rather spread out. oh and i got a good elective too!!! from what i've seen so far it's basically everything i learnt in physics last sem. so... if i don't get A i can do to myself whatever i mentioned above in paragraph 3 hahaha

ahhh my nose just leaked a little again... crap.

i think the only people who aren't affected by the economic crisis are epl players. they're still earning hundreds of thousands of pounds per week??? that's how much some people in their whole lifetime? so screwed up man. it's like some part of the world revolves around them, that's why they're not affected at all. even F1 has been affected. cost cutting measures that will result in cars becoming more equal? it'll be like the A1 series soon man. that'll be so sad!!! can't imagine force india winning F1 championship.

slowly singaporeans are becoming more affected by global events. rarely did we hear of singaporeans dying in overseas places. the most brutal and tragic was that of miss lo in mumbai, and most recently, the 3 deaths at a club in bangkok. not a good start to the new year. last year alone, i attended 4 funerals. 3 of which were my family members. that was more than i've attended in the previous 20 years of my life all added together. i hope i don't have to attend anymore funerals for a long time to come.

exam birthdays...

t19 met up tonight to celebrate 4 people's birthdays hahaha since 2 of them occured during the exam period, and 1 just passed and one more is coming. passed them all their presents at fish & co at park mall. the big "glass" building at the corner. and just nice they were having some offer, 10++ for 7 different types of fish and chips! so cool! so we had real good timing this time around. i shared half a meal with chip... then cheryl came a while later, and i shared another half with her hahaha

if you're wondering why i shared half a meal with chip in the 1st place, it's cos i spent half the day at josh's house hahaha played guitar heroes (duh...) and watched wall E and madagascar on his freaking big tv!!! ok i practically slept through most of madagascar cos i was really tired and my right eye really hurt to the extent that it teared quite badly on several occasions. after the nap it felt much better... thankfully.

tomorrow going to play badminton with wendy and her friends. was supposed to play last sunday as well, but had a rather nasty incident. left a nice long line down my left arm. if not for the racket bag behind my back, i'm quite sure i would've gotten some injury there as well. well my arm is healing quite well so far, just damn itchy!!! hahaha but whatever it is i hope i don't get injured tomorrow because competition starts on tuesday!!!

ok better rest early tonight... hope wendy isn't too cold in the cinema. didn't bring a shawl along... must be freezing cold. jialat...

feel good times...

if everything went according to plan, i would be on a plane to bangkok right NOW! but obviously... no one in their right mind would want to go to bangkok, especially since the exact same group of people that the PAD just ousted from the government is going to regroup and come back for round 2. which would probably mean that the PAD would be back for round 3! oh well... at least we managed to get all our money back. poor budget airlines losing alot of money.

i'm at home in my room now, typing my now fixed laptop. i'm glad i didn't have to throw this away, because wendy spent sooooooooo much on the skin for me. BUT! i lost my nike water bottle that she got for my 21st birthday =( stupid me left it in the bus after exams on the way home. never take bus for so long already, and i had to leave my precious bottle on it =(

spent the previous 4 days in school, due to badminton training. the 1st 2 days of training were horrible/horrendous/disgusting. i couldn't do anything right. felt like such an idiot. all my lifts went out, made all the wrong decision. all my smashes went into the net. "how to go competition like that?!?!!" was written all over my face. but thankfully last night my doubles partner and i worked out our game plan. we made things more fluid and flexible, and my game improved. somehow yesterday something flipped on my badminton switch, and i could play again!!! hahaha so i was a happy chap last night =) came home rather tired, but at least i felt good =)

guitar heroes world tour is damn fun!!! sure the guitar parts for some songs aren't that hard, but when you have derek trying to sing a spanish song, it's always fun hahaha going to play again on saturdayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy... can't wait =)
