Even if it was being trained to draw, still, it drew better than some of the human, whom no matter how we trained, also cannot draw a decent stickman.

Lost track of time
I passed out.
I went to sleep only on Saturday morning, around 8am, after touching up my FYP, although it was still relatively unfinished and demo is tomorrow, 2.30pm. In between my sleep, I went to the toilet 3 times consecutively, which it turned from solid to liquid. The third time I really thought my stomach rubbish gushed out like a waterfall. Too weak to eat and groggy from the extreme rectal exercise, I concussed until 9pm at night, despite waking up to two phone calls.
I thought it was Monday night when I woke up, which scared the shit out of me as I thought I missed my demo. I wasn't in the mood to do my project, so I washed my sandals, washed my smelly socks, sweep the floor and watched movies, again. And out of boredom, I took pictures of my slippers: the old pair which the strap broke and a new pair. The new pair was bought roughly 2 weeks later after the old pair, because they were very comfy and was on sale, and I anticipated my slippers to end up like all my other shoes: deformed.
Brown is new, Black is old. As you can see, the flowers were gone.
They are the same size, but the black one was elongated under my heavy weight. Almost a cm difference.
It also became fatter by half a cm.
Check out the thickness, see how Blackie was deformed to the shape of my fat feet and toes. The grooves also disappeared, although it looked okie from front view.
The end was totally squashed and curved out.
The bottom didn't even need further elaboration. See the grooves looked OK here except the end lah, and it transformed from 3D to 2D.
And for the head, it probably gives you a preview how clumsy I walk to have bang into walls and stairs, thus caused the deformity.
Slippers offer 100% comfort but 0% security. Being fat and partial flat-feet, my CG tends to go left and right. So, my poor nails had been through a lot of mishaps, when they are already very fragile. Found a detached toenail again.
Considering that I wore Blackie almost everyday, its lifespan is about 3 months, which is considered good enough. My Converse didn't even last more than 2 years. This is also why I don't buy buy shoes which are above $20 (unless I really really like it or I am feeling very rich) coz they just don't last long under my feet.
Got so sick of instant noodles and fried bee hoon, I was pleasantly pleased to find French Toast while on breakfast hunt. 3 for $1 ain' very cheap, but considering my laziness and lack of bread, it is the best find. I bought 6 and I finished them all, which I am very disgusted with myself for eating that much. But then again, if I had bought a loaf on my own, I probably finished all.

I think I am very smart
In an attempt to make my body flush like a faecal waterfall (of coz not, I didn't do it. Just mocking sarcastically at my own self), I bought mix rice with curry chicken and promptly decided to eat after I woke up from a 2-hours nap. As usual, I slept more than 2-hours.
My rice was putrid, superlatively. After sitting on my table for more than 4 hours, the simple word "nice" could not any place to fit in in the box of rice. I attempted to eat, like a dainty bee, collecting one miniscule of rice and eat. It tasted OK, so I heated the rice.
The first mouthful hauled me to Hell and back. It wasn't very very very disgusting, but still, eating the foul rice was a disenchant of my fantasy: eating home cook food.
I just polished off the egg and chicken, and threw the remaining $1 worth of food away.
I hoped I won't have a too difficult time in the bathroom later.

I am so suay and so lucky
So lucky because my slipper's strap broke off right after I returned back to hall, if it had broken while I was in school, I would have to waddle thru the puddle coz it was raning. Heh Heh, I was still thinking when I should I discard it for the new pair. It was wearing thin under my heavy weight.
So suay becoz after spending more than usual cost for dunch (dinner and lunch? LOL), I lau sai again. I think I want to diet/cleanse/flush/detox my system already. Coz the past few days have been knocking out to bed straight after dinner.
MSNing with Jamie was a bit tiring, coz we have to type many words in full. She was asking me what was LOL, I explained and I had to remind her, do not put in her composition, -_-. We also have to make the sentences as proper as possible, coz she used rather proper English now, I don't wanna corrupt her and months later, when she write her compo, she might write in MSN shortform:
Today sunny day, John go play bball. Then his friend said a joke which was damn funny, and John LOL.
I will faint if I mark the compo.
Jia said Jamie was reading my blog archives yesterday, that really scared the shit out of me. Coz I was quite vulgar in a few of my entries, especially the early days. Wah lau, I very scared leh. Later she didn't know and she anyhow used the words, how?
So Jamie Lim Si Min, u better check the meanings of the words before u use them ah!

Nua-tivity
I woke up at 1am after I concussed at 7pm, from a nap it turned into a sleep. So now I am super awake but I don't feel like doing any of my work except eating, but I am sick of the instant noodle already, porridge takes too long to cook. Then so happen Miss Ng also just woke up and jio me for breakfast at Can 9 later at 7.30am. 3 more hours to go, so better keep my stomach empty.
I should do my projects, do my assignment and start studying for the 2nd paper already. But I am too nua to do anything except clicking the mouse and watch some slide show on Hollywood's gossip and trends etc.
Thinking of packing my stuffs also lazy. The earlier I pack, then I don't have to pia through the stuff packing after my last paper although effectively, my room is already very bare. Just wanna sort out some stuffs to give juniors.
I'm already planning to give my room and stuffs an overhaul when I returned home. Time to clean up those ancient stuffs and sort my letters, and utilize whatever storage boxes (small one big one) I have to keep my things neat. I felt that my stuffs are lying all over the house: In Jamie's study table, although it was mine which then transfer to her room coz I don't really "study" at the table, no paper homework to do mah; in the study room which was my old bedroom, so still got some stuffs there. I also want to sort the stationary items. I also want to transfer the VCDs & DVDs to the new TV console's drawers. I want to do so many things except school work!
In summary, the clean and neat freak in me is acting up again, although now I hardly pay attention to my hostel room's cleanliness. If YQ hadn't said she wanted to stay over, I wouldn't have swept although in the end she didn't come. Anyway, once start cannot stop, but wasn't too detail in doing. Seriously can't be bothered already, I just wiped areas which I see and in contact with.
I used to clean the hostel from head to toe, I even moved the table shift the bed. Now is very nua lah. Oh, I haven't wash my bedsheets since dunno when. :P
I think I go pack my bag.

Never ever do this, all ladies above the age of 21
Stay up too late at night, or worse, reverse your sleep time and reverse it back.
I can feel that my body is like a lump of unhealthy shit during that period:
-yellowish skin
-zits and pimples
-hungry at the wrong time
-always feeling lethargic
Now that I'm trying to get back my normal sleep pattern, which I mean work in the day, sleep at night, I felt that I'm not getting all the sleep I needed. Instead I felt more "workable" in that shitty sleep pattern. Probably shorter day longer night suits me. Still, I really hate to encourage this in me. After all this, I probably need twice the time to screw back my body into healthy working condition.
I'm counting down to 2 May. And I'm already thinking what to do that day after my last paper: Sleep Sleep Sleep

Fashion Horoscopes
I was wandering around in iVillage when I saw this. I thought it is quite true in a way! =)
Aquarius
You'll never see a Water Bearer shopping in one of those big, corporate fashion dens that make their profit from monopolies and sweatshops. Thrift stores suit you much better (yeap, I love cheap things), where you can get the most interesting clothes at the least damage to your pocketbook. You keep up with trends in your own way. You don't buy the new retro fashions (bingo!), rather you find clothing from the time that this retro was new (?? I just stock whatever I can catch). Colorful clothing made from hemp, or anything that has shock value, is scattered about your wardrobe. You always have one jump on the next trend, whether or not it finds its way into popular culture. Among the mismatched, eclectic, daring garments in your possession, there is probably at least one gown or suit that is perfectly tailored, perfectly elegant and definitely expensive.
Ankles, though often sprained, are your Sign's favorite body part. Indulge in this by wearing anklets, strappy sandals and t-length skirts. Your hair is constantly changing -- you first dyed it green to shock your parents, but later just kept changing the color to catch the attention of the rest of the world. Henna is useful for this scheme. The makeup you wear is bright, fun and completely cruelty free. If you don't feel like it, though, you won't wear any at all (So don't force me to wear make up, I put when I feel like it.). Adorning your body and clothing with turquoise is a good bet for adding beauty into your life.

I think I'm gonna to...
smash the printer, tear its ribbon, dig it's motherboard out, wreck the cover, hammer everything until it becomes flat.
It acts normal again.
This stupid printer screwed me up very very badly. My report for moderator was in 45% colour, 45% black and white, and 10% zapped. My report for supervisor was worse: 50% in washed out color because of the stupid yellow ink, and 50% zapped because it died on me.
FYP report leh!
I hope the moderator just see the words and not the pictures.
I think I'm having a change of luck, but dunno for good or for bad. I sent 2 resumes today and both replied to me within an hour. The first one was just information sourcing, especially when she heard I couldn't work next month, she hanged up on me pretty fast. The second one sounded very desperately, because she was iterating that her company is a large company and and a good stepping stone for fresh graduates and she asked me to recommend friends who are interested in development work. Wah lau, very dubious leh! I search for their company and resulted in a local address in streetdirectory.com. Is hard to google it because the company name used a very general technical term in the area of wireless although it probably could be the surname of the head who started this company - XXX solutions
Anyway, any interview upcoming is good experience. We were discussing about job interviews, and I thought I'm prepared because I yaya-papaya lah. While most of them were first time experiencing a serious job interview, I wasn't because I had worked before. Then it dawned on me that that I had only that one experience and that one job. So, it is good to get some experience.
Probably can ask Jamie to ask me 1001 questions.

Nasty Day
I couldn't decide eat first or sleep first, both were priorities. Now eating chee cheong fun, coz stomach rumbling like the thunder outside. (I went to zzz after eating 4 pieces, coz sleepy)
Today was a very nasty day; I had a nasty printer, I met nasty people and I was a nasty person. I didn't sleep at all since yesterday noon, not even a nap. I went to Jurong Point to exchange the ink cartridges, but the person told me they couldn't guarantee the quality of OEM products, but they were nice enough to give me one for one exchange. But I still bought the original epson ink cartridge coz I fear that the printer might refuse to read again. Ended up it was the batch cartridge problem, the new ones I got was perfectly compatible. Anyway, EM was in my room for about three hours, the number of hours her project took to print.
When it came to my turn to print 12 hours later. The yellow ink got stuck while the the black was diminishing. So I needed to clean head yet I couldn't do it because ink level was low for black. Pissed, I changed the ink cartridge. NEW ORIGINAL EPSON! heartache can?
It didn't print more than 35 pages when it stopped! CANNOT PRINT ANYMORE!!! WAH LAU I WAS MAD AND STRESSED!
I rushed down to the library in a rain again, coz EM said ihub was packed. As I had learn my lesson, I kept a file in my school email folder. The best part? School deactivate right-mouse-click and there was NO WAY FOR ME TO DOWNLOAD the bloody file.
Damn pek check lor. Rushing to submit report yet all sorts of nonsense ccame up.
Bopian right? Got to go ihub lor, and yes, it was damned packed. I remembered choosing row G05, but I ended up walking to row E05 and FYI, u need to register before logging in again, then apparently, some sickening dudes used PC without registering, that's i tot E05 was my P. Wah kao. No time to argue, register again.
When it comes to printing my report, it is the most maddening. Some dudes just dun get it they there are 90% of the people in the room more kan cheong abt their reports than his one stupid tutorial. Wah lau, he was messing with my report leh, flip flip flip searching for his ONE PATHETIC TUT? SIMI LAN?
With no sleep for more than 20 hours, I'm practically immune to almost everything! I said in a damn pek chek voice, "Can u please wait?" coz i see no point with his flipping through MY REPORT! I dunno what that short-tongued gurgled out, something along the "NVM", I got heated up and grabbed the stack of paper, and I flipped instead. TMD, he bu shuang leh! He furiously digged for his paper somemore lor! Then he found it and left and gave me that bu shuang look somemore.
I warned those people, and so happen were all guys: DUN MESS WITH A GIRL WHO HAVING PMS! It worked, they waited while I sorted out my report. Then when i went back to my place, a guy nicely said I might have taken his paper. Wah lau, wrong timing again, i didn't print my whole report, but only sections, so i was meddling with sections and sections of reports. I just gave a monotonous deep "Wait", and continue to sort my paper.
When it's not your day, it's just not your day.
Things got better after, except when I was waiting to bind my report, a girl was trying to jump the Q by asking her friend's friend to hellp bind. Wah lau, I was hopping mad, I wanted to tell them off but that weasel offered to help them. My lines were ready also: "Can you please Q up, you are not the only one who need to rush and submit FYP report. I have been a bitch whole day already, and i dun mind being one now. So, go behind!" with my thumb pointing backwards to the Q.
Seems cool right?
Anyway, after the submission, the only bad thing was my chee cheong fun tasting like lumps of flour and I got in-grown toenail.
Haiz, stupid life.Got a little comfort when i wanted to go and send email to my moderator. Just as i was nearing the lab, he came out and was about to go home and we chat a little while. =) did i mention i dream of him again? this time round we went to watch movie. LOL! me and my dreams.

Life is great when...
I indulged myself in a 9-hours sleep at night after 6-hours nap after a 10-hours report marathon.
Tired... hadn't been sleeping at night for about 2 weeks.
More marathons to come, -_-|||

I am sibeh suay...
I wanted to print my draft report today.
It was raining Heavily at 2pm plus when I made my way to the library!
The library PC did not detect my HDD coz of the extension USB cable, and their CPU was locked up.
I went to CITS and had a hard time pushing the door. I tot it was locked. And all of the PCs had upgraded to Office 2007, this meant I couldn't open my report which was in Office 2003.
One printer was paper jammed.
Ended up I had to submit a softcopy to my supervisor, the last thing I want to see coz I was lazy to remove some pics, so I had cover them with blank boxes. Dunno whether it will appear misalign or not in Sup's PC.
I am sibeh suay.
Even my McD lunch, oni got to eat at 3.30pm.
I washed my clothes the day before and it started raining yesterday.
I change a new set of clothes and I kenna splashed by the rain.
What next ?

Free flow of excrement
After lau sai for 12 hrs, I concussed and fell into a deep slumber. When I woke up, I tot it was Friday morning momentarily till I checked time in my phone.
I was so hungry that I could eat myself. Canteen stalls were already closed meant no food available. So I cooked instant noodle again. The steamboat that those people were having below looked good.
Gosh! I'm so gonna eat for revenge tmr. Hardly ate anything proper today, even my lunch sucked!

Shitty Situation
I'm having a really bad ass shitty situation. Lau-sai since 5am this morning, and my stomach is still churning "butter". Gosh.
Before the shitty situation started, I made a mess out of my level one neighbour's clothes. I was hungry at ard 4 am, so I went to cook instant noodle and usually I eat in my room. Every time, I will put the stainless steel bowl on the edge of the clothes line, open the door, then carry the bowl in. I didn't put it properly and the bowl toppled and the noodle fell down. Level 2 and 3 had no clothes hanging, so they were safe. Level 1 people is damn suay lah, and being guys washing once a month, the clothes line were full house. So I added "ornaments" to their clothes.
Thank goodness it was 4am plus in the morning, everyone was asleep. I quickly went down to pick up the lid and throw the broken spoon and chopsticks. Out of guilt, I washed 2 of his clothes and his socks which was terribly entangled with my noodles. Just rinse, got rid the noodle and put back.
Still, damn paiseh lah. I kept checking out whether the noodle was cleared but no, it was still there. Think the guy is a hermit. Anyway, this is another lesson learnt: always double check.
The diarrhea probably cause by unhygienic utensils. LOL. But then, the bowl didn't fell off what, and I washed all. Really can't figure out which meal went wrong.

Freaky Panic Week
Frequent blog entries here always mean: "I-have-a-lot-of-serious-stuffs-to-do-but-I-prefer-to-waste-my-time"
Still, better than watching online movies. I swear my addiction to online movie is kicking out. Long gone the days where I watched 8 hrs of movies, now I just watched 8 minutes: watching rerun of my favourite parts such as "Sister Act" and "Beethoven".
I always seemed to get myself addicted to something every year. First year was blogging and reading people's blog. Second year was playing Neopets and Facebook. This year is online movies. At the very least, I will get bored soon enough too.
I just finished reading Jia's 2006 blog archives (only 26 entries for 2 months) when I saw this photo:
I so "love" her entry siah:
Damn.
Anyway, Jia had this classmate who is both a NTU student and a MDIS student. Makes me wonder how many rich and crazy people like him are there in NTU. Jia complained he was checking out her speed during exam, this is so NTU-ish. LOL. In my case, I always looked around to see other people completing their papers while I'm still stuck in question 1. For him, he probably had this same mentality as everyone else who is damn zai: finish faster means can do. In my world, finish fastest means give up. LOL.
I am rattling nonsense.
Jia just told me that Jamie was sponsored by her swimming school to join some swimming meet this Sat. Jia didn't let her join because it was competitive swimming and Jamie just learnt her breaststrokes, plus it was $2.50 per game leh. Ended up her instructor signed her up on their own accord and told my mum to prepare to take her trophies.
Wah Jamie, Da Jie is very proud of you. Keep it up!
Okie, back to report.

Recently, my sister & I have been wearing the same color polo tee coincidentally on certain morning...
Today... we decide to take a photo while on our way out.. using her camera...
In the end... the photo fail to capture the likeness of our tee but drastically enhanced our difference.. We're standing side by side...Damn.

Ah-Gong? Ah-Pa?
The list of moderators for our FYP was released and coincidentally, my neighbour behind had the same moderator as me.
I was vexing out to him my frustrations how my project is so "见不得人", so he joked that maybe I have to call him Ah-Pa (father) to earn extra marks.
I couldn't help bursting out：什么 Ah-Pa? 是 Ah-Gong (grandfather) lor! Cos he is a really old man, is hunch-back, has white hair and walks rigidly.

My IE7 is seriously fucked up.
IT KEEPS HANGING!!! TMD.
So I installed a new browser because I got so fed up with IE7, I can't blog a proper entry without it hanging 3 times.
DL recommended Opera to me before , well, it is nice to use, but not nice enough. The webpages don't look good in it and has alignment problem. It got worse when I opened my Yahoo mail: everything was compressed to the left side, how to see? So I installed another one, Mozilla. Award winning leh, mai siao siao.
Comparing these 3 internet browsers in my situation, I got a verdict.
IE7 is like a wife, it gets headache whenever I want to work on her.
Opera is like a harlot, I look for her when I just need to satisfy my urge (of surfing).
Mozilla is like a mistress, I do everything with her because the wife refuses to or got headaches. Not to mention she's prettier too.

It's almost the TIME of the year again.
Every semester, about 1 month before exam, we will get the so-called exam goodie bag to remind us exam is coming. I believe the best exam goodie bag would come with the exam answers, but then, the world doesn't work this way.
As usual, let's take a look what they gave us this semester.
As usual, let's take a look what they gave us this semester.
- 2 magazines
- Zappy Boy Alcohol Wipe, Lakerol and that first aid thingy is actually Singtel's bandaid package. What a waste.
- 2 packets of tissues
- My 6th bottle of neWater
- 2008 organiser, came pretty late, but still can use for the half the year.
- Instant noodle
- A small notebook and 2 post-it memo pads. I think I collect enough memo pads to use for the next 10 years already. I have one shoebox full of it.
Not included in the picture, was one dubious looking curry soup powder which I already threw one packet from last year' s goodie bag. The Dolmio baked sauce was good though. Yummy.
On a happier or dunno damn sianz note, my sup from Delphi (my IA company) asked me to go back and work on his chambers on a part-time basis. He said I could get friends to help too. Anyone interested? Most probably I will go back out of goodwill and since I'm still jobless.

Photos updated!
This is the latest addition to my house, a Hitachi 42" Full HD LCD TV, together with a mini home theatre system. Homo Sapiens are quite a suckers for technology fashion even though we can't operate it very well. Owning it is just to add some "face" to it I suppose. Nonetheless, it's damn cool! Dad's latest "baby"! He doesn't tolerate any boo-boo to it. That's why we moved it to this space, away from the kitchen.
That tiny little player has so many functions that I do not know where to start decribing it. It's a radio, a DVD player, a hi-fi controlling the stereo blah blah blah.
So not used to the people, they looked so wide!

Pity the old Toshiba tv, kenna downgraded in its postition in the family, and had to continue to suffer the hot air from the kitchen. Nvm, we still like you, just don't explode like the previous Sony. (Yesh, Sony exploded, not those huge kind, but the circuit inside exploded and there was smoke. We do utilise devices to their deaths.)
This is the faithful old waredrobe that has been serving my parents' clothes for 20 years. But it was already beyond repair and had actually cracked under the heavy weight of those clothes. So Mum cajoled Dad to buy a new one and he agreed! =)
This is the flight of stairs that we shifted the old waredrobe up. It's tiring siah... I was telling Mum we could set up a futniture moving company and lose weight at the same time. LOL.
JOTD: Jamie was searching for Jia, funnily, Jia was nowhere to be found. The exasperated Jamie said rather sacarstically, "我们的家不是很大， 为什么那么长 (Jia is tallest in our family ) 的人都找不到？"
Obviously, she needed some heavy tuition in her Mandarin.

Learning Japanese
Min was using an old exercise book which was used by Jia to learn Japanese course back in 1996, where she was going to Japan, Sendai with the school for home exchange.
While I was helping her to source the internet for research, Min asked, "大姐， 你有没有学Japanese?"
Yes, I replied.
The nosey her continued, "Then 你有没有去日本？"
I answered No.
"为什么你有 learn Japanese but 没有去日本？"
Dejected, I answered, "二姐当年学日语是因为要去日本，我学日语是因为我当年没得去日本。" It was a learning to 弥补当年的遗憾。

Thanks goodness for the new water heater.

Homesick? Spinster?
I drifted to dreamland after a phone chat with Jia. In my dream, I was at home and sleeping on Min's bed. When I woke up and looked out of the window, I saw Mum, Jia and Min coming home from the market and they saw me peering from the window, so they waved at me. Min was running happily and yelling, "Da Jie!!!"
Wah biang, a phone call could trigger such homesick-like dream.
As to why I haven't been updating, well, nothing interesting happened when cooped in a room 24/7 rushing report. My topsy-turvy lifestyle could be considered interesting: Slept at 6am on Thursday morning, which led to a 12 hours concussion. So after that I worked through the night, half doing report, half watching rerun of Sister Act, and set for school at 8am on Fri. When the lesson ended at 4pm, I was already partial dead with a hungry stomach. I bought dinner, gobbled it, and went to sleep at 6pm. I woke up at 10pm, which I nuaed until 1am, did a bit of report until 9am, Saturday. Then I spent the rest of the day watching "Cheaper by the Dozen" and "Cheaper by the Dozen 2" and report (when the mood came) until 4am. I forced myself to sleep. I woke up at 11 today, not so bad, but I went to nap at around 2pm. -_-" There was a heavy rain and a huge thunder which shook my bed, probably it was me who trembled.
"用功一点!", these four words had been ringing in my ears ever since I started panic over my FYP. It was said by that special someone AKA "Dream Boyfriend" sometime last year. I don't regret not being hardworking, I just hated my procrastination and my confidence that I could do it. I can be hardworking when the need arise, like now, rushing my ass off. Ha...
Anyway, another interesting dream about Dream BF, he gave me a rose!!! Ha ha... But I prefer white lilies. As a matter of fact, I'm rather worried I would become Ally McBeal's teacher (not too sure if it was high school's), who was a spinster in real life, but she had fantasized another life in her dream. She met a wondeful guy, they got married, they have kids, they grew old together, they even have sex, all in her dreams. Now, this sounds scary. My dream is getting progressive bit by bit, just like the teacher.
Tsk tsk tsk. Siao liao.
Speaking about getting old, my skin turned quite bad after these few days of nonsensical sleep. I was complaining to Jia in the phone, who happily offered an optimistic view, "Do it a few more times then you will be as mature as me!" FYI, I've always been deemed as the "younger" one because of my baby face, which I think is on the deteoriating process.
Thanks ah.
Other than report, movies, research, I also went to a few beauty & cosmetics website after I saw the Maybeline's e-zine to check out the some products. I'm now at the age where I must consider using anti-aging.
Oh Gosh!

Msning
Msning with Jia had never been much more happier, especially today. While she used to tempt me what they had for dinner, and where had they been for good food, she updated me on the latest add-on to our house.
Dad bought a Full HD LCD TV with home stereo; they are rewiring the the electrical sockets; and the most exciting of all...
We are going to have a water heater! My angel must have been reading my blog and psychoed Dad to install. No more cold shower!
Whoot!
Latest RealPlayer
Quick, go download it and install! It can help to download those movies online, like from youtube.com or youku.com!
Wah ha ha, not only can I save money from buying VCDs or DVDs, I can watch myself to death with those old old movies like Beethoven, Sister Act, or serials like Ghost Whisperer, Supernatural and Desperate Housewives!
No more irritating buffering! And I can concentrate on doing my things now!

Colour Award Board
Colour Award Board is an annual ceremony where they gave pretty certs for us, and also to give out the medals to the players who had fought hard during the Dec/Jan Inter-Hall Games.
I was being called down to receive my medal for Darts. After 3 years in Hall 9, the medal somehow marked an beautiful ending for me. Never mind the fact that I didn't help much in winning most of the games, lol.
Anyway, I was being tricked to watch the first 40 minutes of boring cert giveaways, coz my darts IC told me the medals would be given out first. When I reached the canteen (yeap, the ceremony was held there), EEE's Orlando Bloom was there as usual giving his long speech. I made myself comfortable in the middle of the second row. To make things perfect, OB's seat was right in front of me. So I sneaked a picture of him, for my future dart board.
Right after the shot, he was invited to go up and give out the medals and darts was first team, -_-" Nice moment.
FYI, he is our infamous prof in EEE. The students hated him, the other profs loathed him, I think the dean is scared of him. See? His backview is scary enough.
If the chair is alive, it's probably cursing and swearing OB.
You must be wondering why he is the "Orlando Bloom" of EEE when his back view showed 0% similarity, less the front view right? Students sabohed and voted him lor.
Okie, enuff of him. I just found a perfect use for my medal: use as compact mirror.

I should do a post on my trophies and medals one of these days, relish the fond memories behind them. =)

I think I woke up the wrong side of bed...
Eh... Can't be, coz my bed is against the wall, there's only one side for me to snuggle in. Anyway, it's been a weirdo day for me.
- I woke up wondering how come my sweater is on the chair? I had worn it to sleep last night because weather was cold. Couldn't remember waking up at night to remove it.
- I fell down twice, while running up a flight of stairs (about 15 steps) to chase the shuttle buses. Chipped my toenails, again. Luckily another bus came and I was the only passenger, so it was a smooth and speedy ride to my lesson. Blessing in disguise?
- Got a new mechanical pencil from dunno where, exact same model same colour with the one I always use. My angel gave me? Ha ha, must put up notice who lost their pencil, is so new until I felt bad I might have put it into my pencil case unknowingly.
- I thought I would get to leave early today, but I kenna a lecturer who was speeching more than lecturing, if you get what I mean. She was looking at her own notes and reading it out text by text, like dictation. She didn't even look up and had eye contact with us, not that I wanna see her eyes. The typical kind of female gaining attention in the wrong way, exactly the same pattern as my Sec. 3 form teacher. The 3D animation workshop was a flop, most people left halfway, I left after 3/4 of the lesson to catch the last bus.
Haiz... Need to get a pair of covered shoes to protect my delicate feet.
Typical Singaporean
I was going to buy lunch in Canteen B when the fire alarm ranged crazily. Most of the people just tuned to the direction where the sound came from, then they navigated their heads around to check out any fire or smoke.
Probably most of us got so used to the fire drills we had during primary, secondary and maybe JC, in this situations where the fire alarm did activate due to a fire, maybe a small one, our instincts had been fine tuned to tell us this: "Probably wrong activation of the alarm" or "No smoke around, small fire niah". So, they continued their daily pilgrimage to the canteen.
真是不见棺材不掉泪, ha ha.
Ashamed to say, I was one of them. For me, it was more of "monkey see, monkey do", nobody was in panick, nobody to tell us to move to a safety location, NOBODY to tell us to do ANYTHING. Even if I had to run, let me tabao my lunch first, provided the aunties were still there scooping the rice and veggies.
So typical Singaporean hor, we need to see the arrow before we do anything.

Doggie
A friend's dog passed away, or rather was forced to put to sleep coz he was in pain and there was no way to save him.
Why am I writing this?
Doggie was one of the few pet dogs among my friends. As a dog lover myself, it was really a pleasure to hang out with a friend who kept a dog. I remembered how I used to travel to AMK to my friend's house, and then we would bring Doggie to Bishan Park Dog Run area, every Saturday, just because I wanted to play with the dog.
I remembered how he always drooled and licked at us, pant after a run, jumped up so that he could reach us, lovable. As a hot-blooded young male, he humped on PZ's legs, the only suay one. LOL.
Despite having not seen Doggie since Poly, my heart ached when I knew about his pain; my heart cried when I learned about his death.
It's really unfathomable how time can be so cruel, peeling off layer by layer, slice by slice, slowly and unknowingly. Only when Death is summoned, then we realise the Death is unavoidable, and it left painful memory for the live ones to slowly feed on until their own deaths.
I had never been good at consoling people, especially on someone's death. However, Doggie was once part of my life, giving me the comfort of having a dog, except that I did not have to clean his shit. So somehow, I shared the same pain and wanted to comfort Erica (Doggie's owner), knowing she still sobbing over his death. She told me how heartbreaking she had to put him to sleep, feeling like she had a part to play in his death, how useless she had been unable to save him. She couldn't stop thinking about him and yet she couldn't stand the pain of knowing he was gone, hoping to forget him would save her from the agony. I told her:
"Hey... Take care, Doggie must be glad that you all were with him when he was gone. I truly understand your heartache, 13 years of love just gone like that. Life without him suddenly will be different, but as the old(I actually smsed orhbiang to try cheer her up) saying goes, time will heal the pain. You won't be able to forget him. He will rest peacefully in a corner of your heart. You felt that his death was worse than a person's, that because he's dear to you, and a family member. The healing is going to be a slow and painful journey, but you'll get over it. At least Doggie had gave you beautiful memories for you to think of him. Asking to cheer up is no useful now, instead, cry when you think of him. This way, the tears will dried up, rise and go to him. He's definitely in heaven waiting to receive your tears."
Sounded corny, but they were sincere words. I did wish he did not have to go in such a way.

She couldn't stop thinking about him and yet she couldn't stand the pain of knowing he was gone, hoping to forget him would save her from the agony. I told her:
"Hey... Take care, Doggie must be glad that you all were with him when he was gone. I truly understand your heartache, 13 years of love just gone like that. Life without him suddenly will be different, but as the old(I actually smsed orhbiang to try cheer her up) saying goes, time will heal the pain. You won't be able to forget him. He will rest peacefully in a corner of your heart. You felt that his death was worse than a person's, that because he's dear to you, and a family member. The healing is going to be a slow and painful journey, but you'll get over it. At least Doggie had gave you beautiful memories for you to think of him. Asking to cheer up is no useful now, instead, cry when you think of him. This way, the tears will dried up, rise and go to him. He's definitely in heaven waiting to receive your tears."
Sounded corny, but they were sincere words. I did wish he did not have to go in such a way.

7 deadly sins
If my father and his brothers were to be one of the 7 deadly sins, the one before my father is definitely Sloth! Uncle Sloth shall be his honorific title.
He did a good job pissing me off. My parents and I were busy in the kitchen cooking a feast for the relatives, coz of the windfall my Dad received, so we had it at home instead of a treat outside. I politely declined to eat dinner at the same table even though there was vacancy for me to fit in, but because I had been in the kitchen for almost 6 hours, Ismell stinked like an overused wok, so it's best for me to continue hiding in the kitchen.
When all the elders were persuading me to eat at the table, Uncle Sloth was the only one happily yakking: 你不要吃啦！减肥！减肥！
TMD, 要减肥早减了，no need for me to starve myself hungry and see u all eating happily my hardwork. He should consider dieting instead.

What I done today (sat)
Woke up at 11am to go lunch with Jia and Min, we went to Hoagies again. =) Due to the lack of western food in Can 9, I've been eating western food on thurs dinner and today's lunch. A bit of good food to motivate myself, but then Jia offered to pay for the lunch, so she almost heart-attack when she saw the bill, $44.20 for 3 persons. I ate away close to $20 myself. :P
Then I went shop a bit in Khatib area with Min, seriously, due to lack of exercise in the splurge-control dept in my brain, I just bought things on impulse. Usually after the impulse expense, I would feel guilty and poor, but then, I felt happy and light-hearted instead. I think this short shopping is doing me some good to alleviate my stress level, heh heh.
Shopping cut short when Min & I need a toilet break desperately.
After the hype in moving into a new room, and some mess organising, I have to gear up for tmr's feast as helpers.
I hope they dun stay too long.

Laziness & Procrastination
Is there a link between them or are they the same?
Is it "I'm lazy that's why I procrastinate" or "I procrastinated and hence I'm lazy"?
If I'm lazy, then will I be lazy to procrastinate and if I don't procrastinate, will I not be lazy to work?
Hmm...
We definitely weren't lazy just now, but I did procrastinate. We managed to move my dressing table, my bed and my rosewood-like cabinet to the next room, and moved the PC table with old PC, the file cabinet to my room.
I even moved my clothes to the wardrobe in my new room. Hope I won't get any weird dreams from all these movings.
Will blog about it if I do dream of anything interesting... Maybe dream of a plumber with very nice strong arms or mover with six-packs on his abs. LOL.
