I hate falling sick.

Because when I’m sick, I tend to sleep alot, and it isn’t even peaceful blissful sleep! I slept not because I felt like sleeping, but simply because I didn’t have the energy to do anything else.

Aww, ultra waste of time.

I decided to make up for the loss of a Sunday by going to play bball. I didn’t feel it when I was playing, but I not only feel energy-less, I’m having a headache too.

The ultimate display of tee-kee-ness.

So tomorrow’s Monday again. I hope I’ll be fine by tomorrow. Falling sick sucks. Falling sick on HOLIDAYS sucks even more.

The power of compounding.

I remember I have always been fascinated by the amount of time I’ve spent with her.

See ah, we’ve been together for about 3 years – 1 month = 36 months = 144 weeks. I think we saw each other at least 4 times per week. Didn’t see her as much during NS but there were alot of weeks we saw each other EVERY DAY.

So like, 144 * 4 = a whooping FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX.

Now isn’t that amazing?

My Ugly Blog

I just realized how ugly my blog actually looks. When I chose this skin I thought it looked pretty cool and simple and plain, like me! But now I think it looks TOO plain. (Like me?)

One day when I get the mood, I’m gonna change to a uber chio skin!

===

I saw a Lamborghini on the road for the second time in my life today. 29th October 2005. Another yellow one. I was on bus 151. I think it was a Gallardo.

IT WAS CHAO JI WU DI CHIO.

The engine sounded like there was a beast hidden inside a cage waiting to be released and growling and shuffling its feet. When the lights turned green it simply chionged forth, leaving all the other cars in dust behind it.

One day.

I shall go and test drive a Lamborghini.

Critical Thinking and Writing sucks.

Thank heavens the position paper trauma is over! We had oral defence yesterday.

What is oral defence you ask? How come not oral offense? I have no idea, I just thought it sounded very weird and er.. dental? It basically means a session where we stand there and get bombarded by our tutor with tons of questions.

It was on that day the the 3 of us fully utilized the training we’ve recieved from army. The whole thing was a dressed up wayang show.

She asked us about how we would improve our project if we were given more time. We gave her really sweet and politically correct answers like how we’d do more research and better quantify our findings and conduct more surveys.

In reality I’d probably just bochup the whole thing or, if I had the choice, drop the friggin module.

We were also made to make up questionnaires and give them out to people to fill in. Guess what, we invented all the results hur hur.

I hope she doesn’t ever get to read this ah. And whoever’s reading this, don’t bao tou ah.

End of Rendezvous

This entry is abit late because I really couldn’t find the time and effort to post man. But I’m really glad Rendezvous is over because I finally have no more commitements!

No more IFG!

No more Rendezvous!

Next few weeks are gonna be uber catch-up weeks. I have also returned ALL my library books in a resolve to work hard and spend as little on other stuff besides studies as usual. But I still need my usual breathers once in awhile, my weekly bball, a little pinch of comics and some time with my pals.

Anyway Rendezvous was great; not because of some spectacular organizational efforts, but because all of us worked together as a whole.

I NEVER KNEW OUR CULTURAL ACTIVITIES CLUB PERFORMERS WERE SO POWER.

Resonance’s singing was uber cool. The acapella damn spectacular. (Is that how you spell acapella) They had like 3 performances, the last one being the most impressive. A remix of all the chiong music we hear in clubs.

I admit I don’t know how to appreciate Social and Ballroom dance ah, but I think their coordination was super power and I’m sure it takes gazillion years to learn their steps.

Of course, as usual, I loved the guitar performance! The rockers really rocked man. Electric guitars are damn cool.

I didn’t get to watch much of the rest of the performances because I had to ferry people to and fro once in awhile.

After I drove the guitar people back to YIH the president was asking me if I was in any of the sub clubs. I said no ah, I’m from basketball and he nearly fainted. Maybe I should have mentioned I was in SWC as well? Ah whatever.

Anyway I haven’t driven a manual car in like 9 months and the experience was damn exhilarating. I’m sure the people who sat in the van for the first trips must have had the RIDE OF THEIR LIVES.

Couldn’t get used to it at the start ah.

There was one point of time I let bm try driving for fun and I forgot to ask her to switch back to neutral gear and pull the handbrake after her engine died.

So once I started the engine the van started to move! It was uber scary I tell you, and I thought I was gonna crash into something. Finally found the brakes at the last instance and stepped damn hard on it.

When I told my papa that I drove a van, he told me not to do it again cos it’s he said if something happens I will get into deep trouble because it ain’t exactly very legal -_-;;

Today’s weekly bball session with the World’s Saddest Team was very very shaggening ah. We played alot alot and I was really really tired out at the end of it.

LUNCH GAVE ME BACK MY LIFE.

I had the most expensive but powerful laksa yong tao fu I’ve had in my life till now. I was too tired to think so I just picked whatever came to my mind and when it was done I realized I picked 8 or 9 and it costed my $4.50.

But I felt it was worth it!

Seafood Galore

Went to Pasir Panjang market for a feast with my family just now! Butter crabs, gong gong, oysters, and some other shell food I forgot the name of.

SO yummy!

But it was pretty ex; spent 50 plus bucks on just supper~~ Next time when I’m rich I shall treat my family to a seafood feast too.

Played bball with aes gang in the morning.

Today’s session very tiring ah, what with all the half-court plus full-court games. But we rarely get to play until so tired I think. So fun.

I still think we should go and make jerseys or t-shirts lah. Quite cool wad. Our team name can really be “World’s Saddest Team.”

Warren Buffett

Just read a book on Warren Buffett. He’s so cool. I like him. He loves Coca Cola. He’s just a normal man who likes soft drinks! He drinks it everyday. He loves to play bridge. And he’s the second wealthiest man in the world!

And he’s happy with his life; he doesn’t spend everyday worrying that he’s gonna lose all his money.

Which is cool!

We’re the richest men in the world!

“I always said I wouldn’t mind going to jail if I had 3 cellmates who played bridge.”

“Like Wayde Gretzky says, go where the puck is going, not where it is.”

“It takes 20 years to build a reputaiton and 5 minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”

“Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.”

“Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”

“I buy expensive suits. They just look cheap on me.”

Buffett calls borrowed money a dagger tied to a company’s steering wheel pointed straight at its heart.
“You will someday hit a pothole.”

“Never ask the barber if you need a haircut.”

“Forecasts usually tell us more of the forecaster than of the future.”

“I want to be able to explain my mistakes. This means I only do the things I completely understand.”

Fuck lah

And I thought Physics syllabus is coming to an end. Then I went to IVLE and saw so many fucking more lecture slides to download. TMD!!!

Why am I being so vulgar? Haha, no lah not really pissed. Just don’t think many people will be readin my blog anyway! And if you’re reading my blog, you’ve probably heard me say fuck dunno how many times liao.

Hai I just got very traumatized over the massive amount of material and decided to come and scream here.

And I realize my printer simply refuses to print page 13 of anything. Wtf is up with that?!

Anyway I was talking to my mum just now.

WHAT?! YOU THIS KIND OF PERSON ALSO CAN TALK TO MUM?! ZHUN BO?!

Zhun lah, though I seldom really talk to her about such things.. Like what, life in general, about jie jie di di, papa, future. As usual she was nagging at me to find a good girl and stop fooling around. We were talking about our family fortune and whether I think I’m gonna be rich in future.

Then she started ranting on and on about how short life is and that’s when I suddenly like, got bolted. She was like, smiling smiling and saying probably she’d be with us for like another 20 years.

Hmm I dunno why but I started feeling quite sad.

YOU!? SAD?!

Really lah.. I mean, I think I’m a very bu guai de son. I must treat her nicer man. And be a better son. And somemore I’m the eldest son.

Hai I need more sleep.
