Tiredness, respiratory troubles and stomach pains may come to bother you. Take care of the quality of your food and your sleep. If you feel yourself to be besieged by morose thoughts, do much physical exercise or participate in humanitarian activities. Calmly bear the criticisms which will be made against you. If you live in couple, make a great effort to hear your mate out.
Kind of true isn't it? The above bold text was exactly what happened to me lately, and I haven't been making a lot of effort in getting enough rest and proper food. Haiz...

I just spent close to 7 hours printing and sorting my lecture notes and I'm still not finished. -_-|||

FYP Flop
My demo did not went as smoothly as I thought. In fact, I did not know what I was talking although I wasn't nervous, probably lack of sleep. The questions the moderator asked were totally out of my expectations, as most of them were not even technical except "how many codes of lines is your program?".
The first thing he said was, "Your project doesn't show that much was done" or "Your project showed nothing much", somewhere along the meaning. I was totally deflated when he said that, but then he continued saying that I did not have to worry about failing though. He then asked me if I was (am) honest person, of course I said yes lah. Weird question right? Anyway, he said even he didn't ask, he knew I was because of the things I wrote in my report: I admitted in my report that my project was not up to expectation. So as I was babbling how I felt that there was no point deceiving him blah blah blah, he asked me, "Will you take this project again if you were to choose again?" The lack of sleep had caused me to be very incoherent and not intuitive, I actually answered a big fat NO! Wah lau, even a dumb dumb knows that given such a question, no matter how much you hated, you should always answered yes. Feeling the hotness in my face, I quickly explained how interesting this project was, and how I started very enthusiastic about it (which I think my sup could verify). I just became half-hearted when school work started piling up. Anyway, I wished I could just jump into a man-hole and escaped at that point.
Then he asked again, "Are you Singaporean?" another weird question, and after I answered, he said he could see that I am Singaporean. Funny, he knew all my answers yet he still asked. Then he gave me a brief lecture on how I should sell the plus points in a project and hide the weakness (he emphasized that he wasn't trying to teach me how to lie) in the future if I go to work, blah blah blah.
Throughout the 15 minutes, I was really truthful about everything I said (and of course I hide the fact that I started it very late), because it didn't feel like a demo, it was more like a pep talk + counseling session, and my remaining level of confidence was dripping away as he talked. And then, he asked what was I expecting to graduate with my degree, I lied that I was expecting 2nd lower when in fact, I'm prepared to get 3rd.
If I could, I wished to tell him that I actually regret taking up this degree course.
When I go back to the lab because of a project meeting later, it was my instinct to make the experience sounded funny and I appeared nonchalant when my project mates asked how did the demo went, opposite them sat the girl who did the demo before me. The instinct was to cover up my sense of disappointment, not with my project, but with myself.
A delayed PMS and sudden period activated emotional flood in me, again.
When I woke up 4am this morning, I started thinking about my life, about myself as a person. I mentioned before that I sometimes really hated my character: too nice too lazy too chin chai too much procrastination. I wanted to be hardworking, not the kind of hardworking when rushing a project, but the kind where I'm pushed to the limit to achieve something, and not just do something. I dunno what am I good at except a glutton, a braggart, not the exaggerative kind though. I am so pretentious at times, not to pretend something I'm not, but pretend emotionally sometimes, not all the times. I'm not kind to unleash my real feelings, unless I'm at the breakdown point, like now, but then again, it might not be real coz I'm just having another bad day with womanly sickness.
I knew I could do my project, I knew I was lazy, so I started early, and it didn't seem to help, coz I was not disciplined enough. It's a very funny situation. I started early becoz I knew I will be lazy in the process, and it did, but if I started early this also showed a bit of hardworking right? Sometimes, I felt that I deliberately make myself lazy and undisciplined so that I will pushed myself in the end and achieve a miracle, a less-than-normal miracle. Then why didn't I push myself more at first?
Back to my project, I knew I got a very interesting project, and a project which could shine if I had been disciplined enough to do it. Even if I was to do the project with no school modules, no exams, the lack of discipline in me could probably achieve a normal result. Thinking back, not talking about regrets, if I had been consistent in doing, I probably won't be writing all this and instead, would be talking how fantastic my demo was, wowing the professor?
Like Jia said, I had always been lucky but somehow, I didn't know how to count my blessings. Does it consider a bless if I pass my FYP despite doing shit work to it, or it is a bless to achieve a A if I had worked hard? Which one is more blessing? How do you defined a blessed life? I know of someone who had like 27 As in his transcript, several job offers from the top govt agencies and companies and still unhappy about life, most of the time hating his singlehood, yet I have another friend who quit school, worked in a small company, single also but happy.
I think, it all goes down to how we think.
Feeling back to normal now after writing this post.

This elephant has drawing talent
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.
