termed labour!

I have 2 weeks. 2 weeks, people. Before I head back to school.

10 work days to do the things I do, before familiarity sets back in.

Somehow, the feeling is conflicting. Have I developed a longing already?!?!

You know what else I've developed? A greater sense of xenophobia.

4 worthy notes pegged to saturday:

1.) I passed my FTT.
2.) Liverpool beat Bolton.
3.) I won a dollar. Yes, 1 fucking dollar from the above-mentioned win.
4.) I had supper with the good ol's that involved bread, spread and madcap. Also, a good tin of milk tea goes a long way.

when time zips

Hello.

I've a sore throat. God knows where I collected these delightful microscopic critters, but I sure don't really want to know. I hate this more than you. You know why? It's usually involves me staying sick for a week or more. It starts with a irritation in the throat, then it develops into a blocked nose, which will follow before I develop a bloody cold. Then i go back into the sore throat and dig out a nasty cough.

Medicine only makes recovery a tad faster.

And also, work's gotten alot better for the past 7 weeks. Tireless, I presume. Or maybe not.
All I know's that, i've got new work to handle and boy, I ain't got time.

Ok, back to being sick.

Sick.
My LO's coming on the day that I'm gonna be relatively more sickly than the previous one.

Why do coincidences play me like that?

Sick.

Work

Work has officially started a week ago.

I tells ya, it's what it's said to be, FAST-PACED. It wasn't easy cramming so much info about the products, the database system(s), the phone-ttiquete, the sales officers' names and how to deal with idiots.

I'm really trying damn hard to adjust, not saying that there ain't no progress, but its slow. Cos when I try, there's always something new to bombard me left right and centre. I guess that's what you get for working in a big 'dynamic' company. I just hope my sanity pulls through and leave this place unscathed.

Even typing this makes me feel tired already and I'm not getting old yet.

I'm looking at the clock all the time to watch time pass. Somehow, waiting for the clock to strike 1pm and 6pm becomes a drug. Not a narcotic though. That's when I can go out, get a breather, fill up this stomach of mine and come back refreshed for the next 4 hours. When you're not really enjoying the time, it becomes faster for you to wear yourself out. I mean, I used to be able to survive a 9am-7pm in TP and that's because I bloody love it in school (though i yearn to go home for a good sleep). Getting up at bloody 7am was never easy, doing it everyday is even worse. Let's break down how I will work for the remaining 11 weeks:

7am- Get up and go freshen up (ie. poop, bathe, brush teeth)
7.20am- Get dressed, style hair
7.30- Have some breakfast
7.40- Leave the house and walk to the MRT station
7.50- Leave on a train already semi-packed with people when it came from Tampines (if this isn't kiasuism, i don't know what is).
8.30- Reach City Hall, walk to Millenia Tower
8.50- Reach the office, read TODAY and gather quota.
9am- Start work, beginning with routine 1.
10am- Call customers (oh yay)
11am- Routine 2
12pm- Call customers
1pm- Lunch (the joy)
2pm- Routine 2
3pm- Routine 3, collect faxes and mail-in forms and process (ie. call the customers)
4pm- Routine 4
5pm- Settle lots of stuff (ie. the mess that i made) and call customers
6pm- Balek Kampong.
7.15pm- Home sweet home.


And i do that everyday.

With any hope, i do pray for a transfer to deal with HR instead. Really.
Sigh.

Unanswered

I'll begin by saying, I wasn't all that pleased in overcoming the exam papers last week. (took me long enough to get off my lazy arse to type this). SAPM in particular was taxing. He (the setter) had the audacity to set a question that asks for something that wasn't even highlighted (7 marks) and a follow-up that required the answer from the previous round. Ohhhh the anger. I surrender to a C+. Fuck. I also blundered on the HRD paper, 12 marks thrown away like that. Painful.

Bah.


Anyway, the subject matter today is about questions unanswered.

Why is it that when we meet new people, we ditch the people we've met in the past? I know of people who do just that and will not feel any form of guilt. It's never easy to make a plan, make calls and hope for the best to attend and make merry. But guess what? It's also never easy to say sorry for not saying anything else (ala replying) to the person.

I give thanks to those who don't do that, you can count on them to reply. But who's to care when my readership rate is about as many as the number of people alive in a graveyard at Lim Chu Kang RIGHT NOW. That's right. Humour right there.

On another note, I've decided to spend most of my time at home, why? Because I'm tired from thinking too much. Also, it's perpetually raining every-goddamn-day. Just by playing the guitar, playing computer games of sleeping can take away alot of unused time.

I saw this Gibson Les Paul Classic and a Flying V outside a Lee Cooper retail shop at Tampines Mall yesterday. Further down the alley of shops, I see this classic 1950's Harley Davidson on display at Kiehl's ( i think). I don't give a damn about their products, but the things they use to garner attention. Woowee.

Timetabling woes

What.the.fuck.

My exam timetable is teh suxxors.
2 days, with 2 papers each.

I'm okay with MA and FA sticking on the same day. BUT, having SAPM and HRD, wah die.
I think I should start 1 week earlier than the previous semester, just looking at it makes me want to weep like a baby.

This I've just noticed, the HR modules this semester seem to be less content-heavy, meaning, less to study, more to score and elaborate. HA. That increases my efficiency by some 200%. By thunder I hope I increase my GPA a wee bit so it looks better. =S

Now to contemplate whether I should head home for a nap before my night paper(s).

Well, at least I still have 1 day to revise my BTT. (I take my test on a Sat morning).

2.) MA 1- 18th July (next friday)
3.) FA- 25th July (following friday. BONUS!> Now with presentation!)
4.) HRD/PCM- 6th August

Heng.

Ok, a proper post as promised.

So the school holidays have ended, forgive me, what's ended was just another chance for me to hibernate at home or to go out with my friends. I've already come to terms with the fact that Senior year means "marathon". We will have a total of 4 weeks or so through out the whole year, as compared to some 18 in years 1 and 2. Talk about taxing.

Now that I've talked about time, its natural for me to relate to how fast it's moving. One moment I was enrolling into the institution and the next....just leaves room till the end. Graduation in less than a year, surrealistic. Sigh, shan't talk about this now.

I've received 3 outta 4 scripts so far, 2 A's for HR and FA, a B+ for MA. I didn't dare hope i'd do well for FA and this definitely shook me. Taiko. On the other end, I was praying that MA would be my best, but I guess i overlooked lotsa stuff and lost 8 1/2 marks in the process -.-". Gahh, hope this won't repeat itself in the exams. HR was another shocker, nuff said.

Part A of HR was good, the best progress we've had so far, well done people. I had a very minor (squint and maybe you'll find traces of me) role in Part A, thank god for Part B. I hope this will turn out to be another A, cos its difficult to score A's in projects.

Ok, back to the drawing board with work and.........stuff.

Man, what can I say, what a week (or weeks that have since flown by). Man Utd won two trophies, son of a bitch.

The ever-increasing work load has been unbearable, its also the reason why I wake up everyday feeling like time is flying by 5 times faster (alcohol kinda works this way if you think about it). Weekends come and go, surprisingly, so do weekdays. I'm gonna be predictable by saying "pretty soon, we'll graduate".

You know how people have guilty pleasures? Well, you know what. "Guilty Pleasures" in the past, for me, stood for drinking, binging, public nuisances and stuff like that. But they can be considered divine at this point of time. What replaces said activities include: going out, going out for a meal, CBS on youtube, checking yahoo! finance. Pathetic, has my life become. Everyday is a day that involves work, I shan't relegate the statement "Oh, Year 3 is a rush-or-die year". I guess nobody can just sit there and let the deadlines inch closer, that'd be fucking insane. I miss outings with the programmers and my buds, damn schedule works like a leesh.

I have an interview with Citibank coming up, I'm hoping that I'd be 1 of the 9 selected people, seriously. Here's 3 reasons why:

1.) C'mon, who hasn't heard of Citibank
2.) Decent pay for "free labour"

Chapter 19

So I've just turned 19 yesterday.

Well, all I can say is that: DAY WELL SPENT.

Words can't describe how much gratitude I have for my Programmers. The company itself was very much enough already, but when topped with gifts and good food, it made out to be a blast of a time.

Akashi serves great Japanese fare, if you're looking for those, that's the place to go to. Also, I've got a food voucher because the whole table was under blinged under the VIP status, all thanks to Wesley. Haha, seriously, thanks so much for your arrangements. (Returning the favour by plugging the ad right in the middle)

Got cake on my face, again. The skin beside my ears and cheeks have been kinda itchy for the past day, hahaha, let's just say my skin doesn't like to be greased. Bus-ed down to Bugis to find Shan, before heading to Cafe Blu Jaz, an awesome place to chill, right next Haji Lane. Had a White Russian prepared by a Pinoy Bartender, ain't half bad as compared to the one I had on Star Cruise. I don't know why, but I'm not really a fan of cocktails with too many fruits in it, if you know me well enough, you'd know why. Haha. Was tempted to have an Erdinger/Kilkenny's instead, but if I did have one, i'd be all fart-machine today.

At the end of it all, I had a really good time like no other.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ALL YOU PROGRAMMERS, YOU GUYS ROCK MA SOCKS ,YO.

I'd also like to thank my awesome family for the seafood treat at The Red House (Hong Lou something). The chilli crab had gravy to sell your souls for. Not so much for the crab, cos it was too big and had come off a little too bitter for my liking. Nonetheless, the gravy still managed to somewhat permeate the flesh. Also, if you visit that place, go for the Soon Hock done deep fried with a soy sauce base. Really good, but ours was really small, cos we kinda reached late; an hour before closing in fact. I'd also like to thank BIG for that KFC dinner and a job well done for Business Day.


On a lighter note, Benedict's the new class rep, voice for the voiceless.



Oh, one more thing. Thanks for all the nothings, really. Just puzzles me though, how come I'd have nothing "last-minute" to attend nor am "sick enough" to skip my attendance? Let's just say reciprocation is not their thing.

Even though this has been joyous on overall, I'm still kinda scarred and left to bleed.

SL Camp- revisited

Ok, i shall log my journey into a camp that i will never forget about.

Caution: Long entry ahead. Really.


Day 0
This was the day that the subcomms and maincomms gathered for preparations in lieu with the camp. I reached school on the dot, having caught a cab that had me fearing for my 1 little life. Saw KB, Sharyl and Sam and went on to slack. When most people came, all of us set off to get mud, that's right, mud. I gathered my bit from a marsh next to the cement pavement. Buses drove really slowly to see what i was doing. I made 2 cyclists lose balance cos I was in a frenzy digging for mud (well, once you're in this shit, you might as well do it fast and get it over and done with right?). Went over to Kandis, Keng Kee and Shan's side to help them with their digging. I swear, they had an uphill task with it. They didn't really had much mud to begin with, in fact, it was sand and it kinda smelled like dog poo. After adding water to loosen it, we saw lots of well, organisms, which kinda freaked Kandis out, along with the point that the concoction looking like horlicks. Went back to school and chilled a while before our log items were ready. Spent some time on my computer with the videos and had lots of trouble sleeping. I didn't bathe before i bunked in, which kinda brought about limitless itching around the calves and ankles. Of course, needless to say, I didn't sleep much

Day 1

Woke up from what little sleep I had and took that absolutely necessary shower. Every programmer was decked in green. Had a lite breakfast first and I continued to process the videos on my laptop. When the SLs came, the group was split up in 2 factions, one to deal with Champoly and the other to head the admin side of things. Me and Kannan went around school to gather the remaining items for Champoly. The game was initially well-received at the briefing, but when it came to playing, neh.

The game took too long to play and everybody landed in the bankrupt tile. I think Myrine had 1 of everything and got repossessed later, damn sad. Some of SLs said it was boring, some of them said it was a good concept, but i felt that at least the deed was done and many improvements could be made. Was emceeing for 15 minutes before I had a bad stomach and Wesley took over. If you asked me, there were many flaws in the game as there wasn't any piloting done before hand. I would prefer the treasure hunt concept, cos the prep work behind Champoly was nuts. After seeing so many bankrupt groups, we decided to reimburse all the groups with a pity package and I must say that their flags weren't too shabby. Post-Champoly was hell for me, I had a headache and basically everybody was slurring in speech in my ears. It took half a box of mentos to take it out of me, maybe I was low on blood sugar. Ah well.

In-school station games were next, right after an unenjoyable dinner (according to some), I thought it was good, cos when you're hungry, you'll eating anything. When the groups came, there wasn't really a mad rush for us as everything was done beforehand. The best group I felt was Hatshe as they bothered to sabo me, Calvin and Mei Yan. After everything, Idris topped the speed charts with 4 minutes and some 30 seconds. The cleaning up after that was heck, we had to scrub the benches with toilet paper and very little water AFTER we swept the floor that's full of flour. I had to walk away for a moment as I volunteered to keep the log items as well as to help Jia Min find a broom. Also mainly because I had lotsa flour in my eyes and I needed to clear it. When all was done, we went to 'help' out at biz park with the cleaning. Didn't really help much cos I had difficulty walking (from abrasions on the thighs caused from chaffing). Only did applying talc make me feel better. Had a debriefing session before we slept for the night, I was guilty of like 70% of the things Wes mentioned (yikes).

Up next was a showering session and a 30 minute nap on my favourite desks. Upon the beginning of that 1 minute after the aforementioned 30, I was woken up for the Cluedo meeting. Resolved certain issues and enjoyed my sleep afterwards, in a super comfy place.


Day 2

Woke up from a 1 1/2 hour nap and headed for breakfast at ITAS. Was put in charge of the Watermelon station. Kannan and Daniel thought of some idea to let them pass the time with the melons, instead of just plain eating. KB and myself added on to the ideas later and what a mess we've made. I had to pry open 6 watermelons with the knives that Keng Kee brought, damn tiring, considering I've only had very little sleep. When we gathered to eat the remnants of the SLs breakfast (cos slathering jam and kaya on bread was too leceh), we were shocked to actually find that the beehoon was to fantabulously delish. We whacked whatever we could find and man was it good.

Headed back to well, our HQ (3-20) and finished up a little bit on the admin details. I spent some time fine-tuning the storyboard for the remaining scenes before I requested for another nap at my favourite makeshift desk-beds. Slept till 11.20 and woke up to wait for Ming to discuss about our ideas. Waited for the designers to come at about 3 before we could actually begin some filming work. During that wait, i was helping Shan, Calvin and Jolene with their scenes and admin work. Spent time eating my dinner while lining up the tracks on the timeline while gathering feedback from the available programmers around. When it was finally completed, I felt a great tension eased from my head. Seemed like the main worry about this camp for me were the videos. I must say, the scenes were great and the finished products were applauded by some (despite it looking VERY amateurish, since we're amateurs after all). I felt bad though, when I was the only one left in the room under the comforts of air-conditioning while the rest had more physical stuff to do.

There wasn't any rest afterwards as everybody were gathered around the nightwalk areas to prepare the scenes. When the nightwalk actually opened, I was operating as a kidnapper, to isolate one SL from each empire. There was a bit of miscommunication that led to myself feeling rather pissed, which in turned pissed of a few (sorry people!), bad temper on my side. I felt that the kidnapping wasn't really easy to execute as we had to remain silent. Also, the SLs will keep asking questions as to why they are being led on to another place while drifting away from their empire. Only when some things were explained and some heads aired, was the programme given the green light to move. There was this Osei girl who was so scared shitless that she clung on to me bleddy tightly, I should charge for this escort service, I swear. She had to use the Cargo lift, which was ummm...freaky (and smelled like chicken rice). She got so freaked out she asked me to run across the hallway of level 5 with her. Thank god I had my lightband on, if not the 'ghosts' wouldn't have given face and scared us anyway. After the escorting session, I took off on my own to patrol the areas for lost sheep, while trying to replace my own walkie.

This was the time for me a to rest a wee bit before patrolling proper. Went over to Daniel's area, which was the super dark crime scene, found 5 bucks on the floor (woots, to the person who lost his/her $5 and is reading this, sorry, but there wasn't any name on it). I had welfare in mind ok? I bought drinks for the designers, cos the room was like awfully stuffy. All in all, the nightwalk was a success. But that wasn't it for us (Prog and Log comms), we had to clear up the classrooms and move the furniture around. We finally slept in at 5 freaking am.


Day 3 (Finally?)

Woke up at 7, took a shower and collected breakfast. I particularly enjoyed the spicy tuna sandwich, cos it was a nice way to wake yourself up (rather than coffee). Sat around and received briefings before catching up with Jo-an and her Arthios. Champions league was damn tiring for most of us, cos there was alot of running to do. Considering that all of us programmers only had 2 hours to sleep, it was an uphill task. But nevertheless, I or rather, we, had lotsa fun tagging around. Jo-an wasn't her lively self and her empire was running amok. It was hard to control them, but in the name of fun, i guess it would be anti-climatic to get them to obey. Had lots of fun talking to the Arthios people and Jo-an, cos I haven't really talked to her in since 2B09. lol.

Wet games ran on with lots of rushing man. Came back and barely had to time to sit down and rest and talk. Grabbed our log items and met Calvin and Samantha to prepare outside the library. Gerald joined us later cos he had some tallying to do with Vanesa (lol). We barely finished our lunch before the empires came (which were Arthios again and Caesion). In the midst of all things chaotic, the games went on without a hitch and these 2 groups are very accomodating. It's fun to punish them by splashing them randomly with cups of water. All of them were wet at the end of the day and so was the floor. It took half an hour to clean the deck with 3 squigees and like 7 pails of water. Me and Calvin were like tired to the bone after all the cleaning was done. Damn stubborn, this soap foam.

Final clash came next and we went over to help out with the logistics. Lots of pails to carry. Was alloted as a barrier-judge. Some guy molested a girl (i'm thinking its a girl, cos only ultra-sensitive guys would complain, unless its really blatant and in-your-face). The final bit was very high with the splashing of the SLs and fellow programmers. Everybody got wet, everybody felt damn happy. The debriefing ended with photo-taking and mass dances. I almost tore off a piece of flesh off my foot while dancing, heng that it didn't happen. Dinner at CPF building, packing was such a chore, cos my luggage was huge (with the laptop and all). Should've went ahead with the other bag. -.-"

Yes, it makes sense, why? Cos it's a title of a song, by Cake. It serves no place as a purpose, I only put it there cos it sounded cynical.

Ok, programme meetings have been consuming most of my time. It's like having lessons during the break, I'm going back almost everyday. What we do makes up for the hassle of going down, it's like a humour-injected meeting all the time. Serious moments broken down by retardation and silliness, truly entertaining.

I'll only look forward to the camp once I'm done with my Champoly. Really.

On a lighter note, Quake 4 is a game best played with no brains. At the pace of the game, just stop thinking altogether and you'll do alot better. It's so fast-paced that it leaves only some room for strategies.

With that Double-Chicken, can we pick a Black-pepper Chicken and another Double-Up Chicken? Okayyyy, if I had to draw a diagram for this, it would have no end. Loopholes. Ha. Funny.

i was right

I previously stated that Liverpool (woooooohoooooooo), would kick Inter's arse and by god, i was right.

Liverpool won 3-0 on aggregate. Guess we'll never walk alone, hahaha.

It's sheer amusement on a wet and gloomy night, even if its just 5 minutes.
What am I talking about?

Let's just say that there are 3 types of people in the world:

1.) The smart ones
2.) The dumb ones
3.) The dumb ones who think they're smart

Saw plenty of number 3 in those 5 minutes. Recalling a quote from a teacher of mine, "it's not how to put across the message, but the message itself". Damn right.


Okay, looking forward to the next Program Comm meeting. I laughed so hard today, i felt like i did 300 crunches.

this is not only brilliant, its also frackin funny.

youuuuuuuuuuuuu

soulja boy up in it ohhhh
watch me crank watch it ohhh
watch me crank dat soulja boy
den supa man dat ohhhhh

ok, these lyrics are retarded, but hey, they're catchy.
RHRA was a great way to end the papers and a great way start the holidays.
Drinking beer on an empty stomach with little sleep really messed my mind up, its not dizzy or anything, just makes you wanna explode (from the high circulation of blood).
PFP was alright as well, just that MER was a total bitch. What really took the cake was the stupid 21 mark question. Like i've already said in my LJ, i nearly had convulsions and seizures when i saw it. what really happened was not nearly that exaggerating, but it was close, i was stunned for a good 10 minutes. those good 10 minutes lost some how detrimental my hand's ability to write cos i rushed my writing so fast i answered 3 essays in 30 minutes. thank god i had my points written down on my question paper first, if not i'll struggle at thinking while writing.

come this holiday, which happens right now,

its time to playyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

ok, gotta go sleep first.

a lil' breather

Ok, maybe i've been taking too much time off for my own good, but i'll be good tomorrow.

I aim to study like a dog tomorrow, cos MER beckons.

Itinerary for Sunday

1.) Finish revising MER
2.) Start revising for PFP (dear god, why haven't i begun mugging?)
3.) Do practice papers for MER.
4.) Sleep by 2.30am, please.

Seriously, i'd rather take other subjects than MER cos I hate law and gazettes. Which is why law always has the upper hand, because no one understands it.

Okay, since Liverpool won 3-2 (torres hat-trick, woooohooooo!!!), i've been restored of motivation to whack this.

FOI paper was okay, expected it to be more challenging, but it ended up less nerve-wrecking than what i thought it would be. I've counted about 15 marks worth of mistakes after a review. The rest (my fate) is lies in the examiner/marker's hands.

Well, back to the books i say.
I seriously need time off. 11.30 am, Thursday marks my time-off.

this funny yo.

holiday wishlist and whatnot

ok, here's a holiday wishlist i've decided to map it out. it motivates me to work for them. really.

1.) iPod Touch 8gb- $370 average
2.) Black Jeans- $130
3.) Holiday-$500?
4.) Maroon 5 Ticket- $123 (incl. Sistic Booking Fee)
5.) Silvertone/Epiphone/Ibanez Revolver Bass (maybe not so soon, since i don't necessarily have the time to learn)
6.) Sleep.

Yea....that's pretty random, but it'll do.

Anyway, Ang Pow takings have been better, somehow in spite of that not-so-good economy, people are giving more, even relatives i don't really know well of. It used to be $4 surprises, now its like what, $8. well, more for me, nobody's complaining. my family tree falls under the 'modest' givers. rich folk handing out small amounts is better than not giving at all.

Here's how the day went:
Headed over to Mr Kek's house approx. 1 hour and 10 mins late, quite paiseh. but as i always say, grin and bear with it. Small talk with familiar people kinda rekindles friendship and revokes any unfamiliarity since everybody's new life began (in their respective institutions). I always feel really good speaking to these people that i know best.

Caught CJ7 with Yunru, Mel and Kai Xiong (big). Quite a warming movie, not really comedic, but is meant to invoke a sense of warmth. To sum it up, the movie has been a little predictable (it's like your mind beating yourself into anticipation). shan't ruin it here by spewing details, watch it yourself.

came home for a le grand feast, as prepared by my dad. shark's fin wins any form of food, hands down.


good news, i'm not feasting so much on snacks i thought i initially would.
so, no lau sai problems for me this CNY.


ok,now to study and to think of what to buy for Valentine's. hmmmmmm....

Bring on the sexy red (packets)

Heypee Cainees Nu Yeh !

It's finally here, the time where us unmarried singletons harvest our Ang Pows.
The pocket of fresh cash will be replenished once again.
Technically, we don't really have to work for it (Unless you consider grinning and greeting a chore, I somehow do). That makes free money an oxymoron, i think.

Here's how I'm allocating my snack intake. (Adapted from 8 days)
8 1/2 pineapple tarts
10 love letters
8 Kueh Bolus
12 Kueh Bangkits
16 Hae Bee Hiams
2 Bak Kua Squares
2 Mandarin Oranges
2 Cans of Drinks

Even so, this will up my calorie intake by a good 500, from the recommended 2000.
This sucks, especially when the above list erases the need for a decent meal (considering ONLY calories).


Good times, it's time to sin.

.............and study. Thanks ah TP, much appreciated.

What a week man, what.a.week.

How can the school allow us students to be bombarded with a tirade of deadlines?
Let's see:
PFP on Monday, Comm Skills Summative Test on Wednesday, HR Report+Kelly Report+Kelly Presentation on Thursday, HR presentation today.

Both presentations didn't go as well i've expected them to be.
Kelly- I kinda gave a controversial answer to a crucial questions. That kinda killed it.
HR Presentation- Too short, too impromptu.

But you've gotta give credit to my groupmates for putting it up at their best, amidst the rather obvious fatigue.

In other news:

1.)i never really understood the interaction between 2 holes.
2.) apart from the fact that the dessert-stall uncle cannot afford the slightest smile, he doesn't wash hands either. yippee yai yo. what have i been drinking?
3.) don't eat nuts off the nut bowl from a bar.
4.) Different people see the word 'limit' in a different light. apparently, not in the singaporean context.
5.) Singaporeans are damn gracious.
5a.) Nobody helped a blind man when he was asking to be guided to mcdonalds outside Tampines Mall.
5b.) Aunties and their barang-barang occupying 1 seat by themselves, with their stuff next to them, on a crowded bus, mind you. They can miraculously fall asleep when noise is at a very high level and awake when their stop is next. amazing.
6.) 15 commandments? hahahaha.

Oh man, this is damn stupid.
There is simply no getting any rest with endless projects and tutorials to overcome. Going back to school after the mid-sem holidays feel like getting a kick in the nuts from reality.

Why so?

PFP- Due 28th Jan
RHRA/MER- Due 31st Jan (9am, WTF??!?)
Kelly Services Report- Due somewhere around the above 2
Kelly Services Presentation- 4th Feb?
Comm Skills 2- I don't really wanna know, it's sprinkled like sesame seeds on a hamburger bun.

Tell me, where's the room for breathing?



Tze Char cannot be recreated to its full potential at home, it just doesn't taste the same as the ones we can easily get outside. Why? The stove. If you can get a bellowing stove that shoots a large jet of flame upwards, let me know.

stupor

Here's how my day went:

1.) Woke up feeling grumpy (as usual)
2.) Hitched a ride on brother's car
3.) Attended a meaningless and drone-ish MER lecture
4.) Sat in the library and waiting for project mates to arrive
5.) Discussed about Kelly Project, reached xenophobia.
6.) Had lunch with Ben and Erik
7.) Went home and took a 5 hour nap. Woke up feeling grumpy.


was supposed to do projects, got distracted and played games instead.
and now....youtubing. eeeeesh.

i'm fat because i don't run.

happy?

now go fuck off, wankers.

guilt

ok, ignore that once-in-a-lifetime emotional post down there.

D is back on track yo.

Alright, maybe i've been too relaxed ever since school started (once again), i've been slacking for the past 2 days, i think its time to initiate project meetings again. lol


quote of the day: We ended up with so much video footage that we had 2 movies worth of movie.

thoughts of the day (wisdom):
1.) Little Miss Shirts are starting (or have started) to get fuckin' annoying
2.) So are slogan tees. Please, you are not a dirty girl and no, i know my pepsi from a sexsi, you are neither. I've seen wittier remarks from a pile of soot. You know what? The girls with the thickest skin will wear those and proclaim that they're in fact, full of beauty. More like full of shit.

3.)Leggings. If you're a girl, I geddit. If you're a guy, you should get a sex change for wearing one of those.
4.) My desk/room is realllly cluttered, an extra project before CNY i guess.
5.) This is a really short term. I'm really-really screwed. I need some energy-shot, preferably a condensed concoction of redbull, schnapps, coffee and adrenaline.

ok, back to work.
