=Sick=
Down with fever again. Feeling blank after taking medicine. Thanks geraldine for your panadol. =) And jy, cp and elin for your concern. Haha. But this time, I don't think I'm sick because I'm too stressed. It's not an excuse to work less hard.
=Prelims=
Got back all papers except GP. Moderation n grading has not been done yet. I'm really worry-sick of GP, don't know why I'm so anxious about it this time. After being in tuition for sometime, I do hope I can see some improvements at least. My essay is marked by Mr Dustin Chin, hope he isn't too strict about that question I did. Ha
I don't have anything to say for now. That's all I'm going to write..

=Web Updates=
I've just updated my defaced web site hosted on vorce.net. It's the 1st website created this year. Haha, and it's completely original this time. I didn't get any image resource anywhere. A minimalist style applied and view should be comfortable with 800*600 and above. The site is http://hkc.vorce.net/. Feel free to visit. It's not completed yet but the basic framework is there already. Probably be adding more to my portfolio and another tagboard soon. Give some comments on that if possible too, thanks! =)
=Book=
I've read a book entitled "Life's Mysteries" by Shirley Lim. The stories are kind of weird. I can't seem to make sense of the stories. I suppose it's the intrigueing description of things and views that thrills people to read. But I'm more into the framework of stories, so obviously I felt "duh" after reading the story "Journey". =P It's just my piece of mind.
=Blog Responsibility=
Recently, Blogger has implemented this flag features to help create notice questionable blogs. But I wonder if anyone will abuse that function by clicking that whichever blog he or she comes across and creates more annoyances of the stuff from Blogger. Other than that, there's lawsuit filed against people who published political sensitive things on their blog and got caught. I'm not sure how intense that comments were but I know how I should try to watch out for myself then.
=JPop Albums=
Ayumi just released this "Heaven" Single. It's nice. Ok, I admit I say that because I'm her fan but so support her ok? Besides that, BoA's new album also look nice. Her appearance has taken quite a significant change since her 18 years old album. From cute to mature, innocent to sassy (sexy?) Now, I'm also listening to Koda Kumi's Songs.
=FF7=
I've watched advent children already. Absolutely good I should say. But don't know if I'm too absorbed into the show that I think the show ends too fast. Thought that when Sephiroth says "I won't just be a memory..." implies something more. I don't know what prompted Square-Enix to create a rendered movie out of FF7 and not other FF. Is it because it's really more popular? Will there be a continued sequel to that video? Besides that, I just found out that there's also an anime video "The Last Order" coming along with Advent Children.
By the way, good luck year 1s with your coming exam! =)

Yea~ Finally time to update my blog. Lots of things had happened.
=Dengue Fever=
It's scary just to think of how many people got bitten each day. The statistics is alarmingly high! I thought it. I thought the statistics were based on monthly basis but no, it's daily or weekly basis!
The scarier news of what I've heard is that. A person cannot get bitten twice if not, chances are that the person will die if the second time the person is bitten is from another strain. I'm not sure about the entire thing. Why can't the body produces the antibody for the second time? I shall find out...
=Prelim Aftermath=
Don't know if I should look forward to receiving the results... For maths, it's really finished! I believe it'll be the lowest among all my maths papers. Perhaps I didn't practise enough...
MCQs have become one of those papers that are really "challenging". Not in terms of the difficulty perhaps but to race against time to complete the paper. I thought I had done a lot faster but no, I still didn't complete solving the problems. I had to resort to "tikam" the rest of the answers left undone in 30 seconds. What a challenge that is...
It's really time to prepare for the final challenge that's daunting upon me. I can't see myself reaching the grades I want to achieve. Can I really do it?
=Wiki Entries=
Wikipedia really has full of information in the encyclopedia. I suppose that's the advantage of open-source. People can add on to the existing foundation, creating and editing the knowledge articles. But sadly, nothing really comes free in this world. For the Wiki-lovers, I suppose they have to do their part to help raise funds to establish something, I can vaguely remember anything..
=Windows Vista=
The latest announcements that I know of is about the release versions of the coming windows, it will come in mainly 2 package of which will be further split into several editions. All together there will be 8 editions I think. It's really confusing for the newbies which will most suit them. Even with the descriptions that come along, I can hardly trace out much difference in each version along with the longer and longer names of the windows product that comes in each time.
There's also lots of comparison of its features to Tiger 10.4 features. It's controversial to say who asimilates which features. I got lost in the discussion I read from wincustomize. Some of which the gadget ideas I thought originates from either Stardock or Pixoria. But whatever it is, I hope the ultimate aim is to make computing in the features really simple.
=People=
Haven't been seeing the friends I missed for a long time. Thanks to all those people who wished me good luck one way or another. The order is not in any particular. Edited* Looks like i'm getting old so dun blame me for tt. hehez

Sadly some friendships have to be forsaken for life to move on. Is this necessary? I don't know if that's really reality's facts.
=Personal Grooming=
I've so much pimples around my mouth. Not sure why's that region more popular than the forehead or cheeks or wherever else. Got feedbacks that it's so awful. Hope to be ok soon. Ha, sounds vain.
I think I've put on weight too. Time for some exercise.

=Friday=
It's supposed to be early celebration of Teachers' Day for TJ. Reason being so is that the year 2s will be having study break the next week so celebration will be better if it's held on this friday to include the year 2s.
Leo Club has proposed selling slippers to the school for charity purpose and also proposed to the school to allow us to wear slippers on friday. Okay, the school has allowed slippers with bright home clothes then. So friday was a rather different day for TJcians. Even other schools' students look at us in a queer manner in the morning while making our way to the school. This is the slippers I wore to school. I didn't buy the nokia slippers though, don't look very durable although I like the black design.
As usual the first 2 lectures on a celebration day is not at all effective. The lecturers somehow know it and lower their expectation on the level of noise in LTs. My feet are feeling kind of cold and unused to the condition as it's almost always wrapped in socks and shoes. Ha..
I want to thank all my robotics juniors for the card. Yep, it's a very good encouragement for me, I'm so touched. haha. Yes, I will go forward and be motivated. Thanks =) and... I won't have my wrinkles out, I'll still retain my IP kid look.
The celebration programme literally sucks... I'm feeling ultra bored staring at the meaningless video the year 1s created. It's so awful with the heavy noise echo in the video bluring almost any sound in the video. Those that I hear is often very high pitch, sending creeps down my nerves. Perhaps the plot is good, not anymore with lousy director (or video maker). Therefore, I only find the dance by the dance club entertaining. This year, there seems to be a lot of girls joining it and seems like the modern dance club should just rename their pdp title to something else since no guys are joining it. Anyway, not a lot of people attended the celebration I think, at least I didn't see mao xin... O_o Haha...
After the class skipped Aces day, we went around finding teachers to give presents to. They are quite happy just to receive something from us. For the subject teachers it isn't anything significant from us. It's just the cd with the presentation of slides done by jian yuan. I've never seen mdm lim smile like that, oh yeah, it's rare... But I like the expression on Ms fong when we hand her the photo album we did for her.
It really took us quite long time to prepare and plan. I'm not in the planning committee and I would like to say the planning committee has really done a good job. In doing this, we shouldn't blame one another for who did more or less. It's supposed to be a contribution that comes from the heart, something we put in willingly. I really don't hope to see factions arising out of small issues... It's not easy involving many people to come together and plan things. Patience is really the key thing. Afterall, 10/04 don't have many time together anymore, we ought to cherish the friendship we've built so far.
Anyway, Ms Fong flipped through every page, scanning her eyes briefly across every photos... She's rather amazed that everyone is so cooperative in churning out a creative gift for her. The girls are so obsessed with praising themselves continuously in front of Ms Fong how much effort they put in to decorate their page. Only alex rebuked and said that his page is the best... Oh okay... but Ms Fong thought that 1 of the photos ping aik might want it.. Lol.
Jian Yuan bought something for his e club teachers to represent a gift from the exco of his batch. I'm intrigued by the details of the gift. It's really very nice.. I don't think my camera can capture the essence of the gift, there's reflections of light in it that makes it look really beautiful.
Esmond and me also went around taking photos with teachers and friends. Ha, the teachers are quite accomodating even though they are busy with the long queue of students waiting to take pictures with them too. Haha. Ms fong even followed our camera pose.
The 02/04 people has drawn something quite creative and I happen to see it so I captured photos of it. Integration of Mrs Leong = Not applicable. You (rock). Haha, there's still another one for Mr Desai. They drew the mean power graph and showed error in the graph and his comments: "Drop physics". I heard they also did some poster thing for the form teacher also but of course not as elaborate as 10/04. =)
Study hard people, let's strive for good results ok? =)

=Natsu Matsuri=
I went with Esmond, Jian yuan and Alex on saturday in the evening for this japanese summer festival held in Japanese School of Association. It's my first time visiting a japanese school, first time attending japanese festival, so I thought it'll be quite fun. (Except for the waiting time for ahem and the queues...)
There's many japanese+locals going. Some who have fukata (japanese tr
aditional costumes) wore there, so they won't need to loan there. There's a shuttle bus that will fetch us directly to the venue from opposite tanah merah bus stop. I think the bus we caught was the last bus... Most likely... I saw some TJcians going also but not very familiar to them so didn't say "hi" though.
When we reached the venue, it's already very saturated with crowds of visitors. Therefore, we cannot get the supposed free fans and tickets at the counter after queueing for a damn long time, in fact about 10 people away from the counter. That means we have to buy the tickets inside where some booths still may have the tickets.
As the name s
uggests and what common sense can infer, the festival is one that sells japanese food. I can't remember all the names of food there but only remembered seeing all the main dishes selling out. Even those that are not, it's not within our reach as we didn't buy the coupons with main dishes. It's only the main dishes that are really yummy... What a pity... Eventually, I had some pastries, watermelon/honeydew drink, pop corn, sausages, ice-cream x 2 and asahi beer for dinner. That's roughly about $8 I think.
Later in the night, esmond encourages us all to jo
in in the traditional dance. I felt a bit reluctant due to shyness but since a lot of young people are dancing, soon everyone of us joined in. It's really quite simple to follow and learn. Basically, the crowd is dancing around in circle, and I remember some of the songs are "localised". I mean some elements of Singapore identity is brought into the songs. That's why there's songs like "chan mali chan" and "hey singapore". Overall, it isn't anything very much exciting but a pure sense of fun which I hasn't got for some time already.
We took many photos just before leaving, some are quite idiotic of course. I think I'll post those esmond and jian yuan took up here later. I only have those I took with my phone. Not very clear in night conditions though. Haha.
=Random Lyrics=
This is also one of the nice songs I like to listen. Don't ask me why this. Just another random thought.
**A1 - Learn to Fly**
---------------------------------------
When you feel the dream is over
Feel the world is on your shoulders
And you lost the strength to carry on
Even though the walls may crumble
And you find you always stumble through
Remember never to surrender to the dark
Cuz if you turn another page
You will see that’s not the way
The story has to end
And if you need to find a way back
Feel you’re on the wrong track
Give it time, you’ll learn to fly
Tomorrow is a new day
And you will find your own way
You’ll be stronger with each *tear that you cry
Then you’ll learn to fly
In your head, so many questions
The truth is your possession
The answer lies within your heart (within your heart)
You will see the doors are open
If you only dare to hope
And you will find a way to fight
The fears that kept you down
Cuz if you turn another page
You will see that’s not the way
The story has to end
And if you need to find a way back
Feel you’re on the wrong track
Give it time, you’ll learn to fly
Tomorrow is a new day
And you will find your own way
You’ll be stronger with each *tear that you cry
Then you’ll learn to fly
Looking at your situation
There’s so much that you can do
Now’s the time to make your stand
This is just an observation
In the end it’s up to you
The future’s in your hands
And if you need to find a way back
Feel you’re on the wrong track
Give it time, you’ll learn to fly
Tomorrow is a new day
And you will find your own way
You’ll be stronger with each tear* that you cry
Then you’ll learn to fly
Give it time

=NAPFA Updates=
I managed to attain silver finally. 1st time of my life, I got that. I've failed NAPFA throughout except primary 4 when I got bronze.
I don't know if I should thank the practice session on wednesday which I've jumped over 20+ times for standing broad jump in hoping to achieve at least a D standard. Due to the poor cushioning of my shoes, my back and thighs aching severely even till now. But my jump improves slightly already though I don't believe in last minute work for physical conditioning.
I applied some medicinal pad (Is that how it's called?) on my back and thighs. It's not of the big and smelly ones but the newer types that are small and have no unpleasant smells. It sort of relieves my ache quite much. Otherwise, my shutter run and 2.4km run will suffer more repercussion.
Pull ups improve due to the pressure the sports guys are asserting on me unintentionally. They are doing so many to get A and so I just tried to do more than needed for silver. Shutter run allowed to run once since the teacher told me obtaining a B is more than enough. Diao~ Sit-and-reach can do better, not sure why but the grade is still the same. For sit-ups, I got no idea why the teacher has to minus 2 from my count. Well, still A anyway.
2.4km run came much later after everyone has completed their 5 items. I got lizhen as my recorder. During the run, she psycho her friends to cheer for me also. Wahaha... thanks to lz and friends... I tried to run at higher speed but my thighs are just too tired to catch up. Only at the last quarter of the last lap, I gathered all my energy to my legs and sprint as madly as possible.
After all, I hope jy don't be so sad about the results, after all there's still this programme to let you get silver..
=Charity?=
Today, I bought a shirt along with esmond and jian yuan. It's said that 3 shirts will give cheaper price so we agreed, though not exactly willingly. Maybe I should be the one to be blamed for relenting to esmond's relentless demands that upset jian yuan. I do think that the shirt is not very very nice and I have no idea what prompted me to buy the shirt. Lol... Perhaps Jian Yuan's money is meant to watch "The Maid" with whoever that is. He insists that doing charity is no good and besides the slippers look better. I'm speechless...
=Computing=
I just realise how bad it can be when all lectures focusing on theories are crammed together. It's so horrendous to start that only at 3/4 of THIS year. Similar to chemistry and physics, there's one on environment. Kind of weird to learn something about that, but I've yet to read through so I have no idea what's in it.
The way Wei Quan comments on Joel is quite funny. I don't know how I should put it but I think I shouldn't be so bad and say that, oh well...
=Embarrasing moments=
These are the moments that are so randomly thought out in my mind...
-When sleeping in bus and didn't realise how er... your image is...
-When tap water splashes on your pants which is mistaken to be....
-When someone wrongly thought that you're doing some disgusting things when viewed from an angle
-When you fall asleep on bus and your head constantly knocks on someone's else shoulders
-When you drip gravy or soup on someone else you are not familiar with
-When you tell a joke and the person looks at you sternly and says 'it's not funny'
-When you thought something is cool and somebody says it sucks
-When you are serious on a matter while everybody thinks it's a joke
-When you are still teased about the sweet things your gf/bf did to you
-When everyone knows about what's going on except yourself
-still more of it... end of part1, haha
=NAPFA Updates=
I managed to attain silver finally. 1st time of my life, I got that. I've failed NAPFA throughout except primary 4 when I got bronze.
I don't know if I should thank the practice session on wednesday which I've jumped over 20+ times for standing broad jump in hoping to achieve at least a D standard. Due to the poor cushioning of my shoes, my back and thighs aching severely even till now. But my jump improves slightly already though I don't believe in last minute work for physical conditioning.
I applied some medicinal pad (Is that how it's called?) on my back and thighs. It's not of the big and smelly ones but the newer types that are small and have no unpleasant smells. It sort of relieves my ache quite much. Otherwise, my shutter run and 2.4km run will suffer more repercussion.
Pull ups improve due to the pressure the sports guys are asserting on me unintentionally. They are doing so many to get A and so I just tried to do more than needed for silver. Shutter run allowed to run once since the teacher told me obtaining a B is more than enough. Diao~ Sit-and-reach can do better, not sure why but the grade is still the same. For sit-ups, I got no idea why the teacher has to minus 2 from my count. Well, still A anyway.
2.4km run came much later after everyone has completed their 5 items. I got lizhen as my recorder. During the run, she psycho her friends to cheer for me also. Wahaha... thanks to lz and friends... I tried to run at higher speed but my thighs are just too tired to catch up. Only at the last quarter of the last lap, I gathered all my energy to my legs and sprint as madly as possible.
After all, I hope jy don't be so sad about the results, after all there's still this programme to let you get silver..
=Charity?=
Today, I bought a shirt along with esmond and jian yuan. It's said that 3 shirts will give cheaper price so we agreed, though not exactly willingly. Maybe I should be the one to be blamed for relenting to esmond's relentless demands that upset jian yuan. I do think that the shirt is not very very nice and I have no idea what prompted me to buy the shirt. Lol... Perhaps Jian Yuan's money is meant to watch "The Maid" with whoever that is. He insists that doing charity is no good and besides the slippers look better. I'm speechless...
=Computing=
I just realise how bad it can be when all lectures focusing on theories are crammed together. It's so horrendous to start that only at 3/4 of THIS year. Similar to chemistry and physics, there's one on environment. Kind of weird to learn something about that, but I've yet to read through so I have no idea what's in it.
The way Wei Quan comments on Joel is quite funny. I don't know how I should put it but I think I shouldn't be so bad and say that, oh well...

=Zhong Se Qing You=
Ha, recently someone has raised this issue. Not regarding me actually. I suppose it's natural to feel irritated when your good friend's being "occupied" by someone and somehow neglected you indirectly. But actually, no one really OWNS anyone so I suppose it's actually right of anyone to talk to and be with anyone he or she feels comfortable with. Sticking to someone due to obligation rather than willingness is pointless. Perhaps, it's often that one's loneliness can make a person feel jealous or low self-esteem...
=Borrowed Items=
I've managed to fold a dinosaur from mao xin's orig
ami book. I actually borrowed for quite a long time and here I am with only a T-rex that's out of proportion. I can't get the legs folded properly by the way. But at least, there's a rough shape you can tell that it's dinosaur right? Say yes please. Lol. Hansui's FFX2's also back with her already. I returned her today since I won't have the chance to play at this time of the year. Maybe after A Level, I will have the short period of freedom.
=Robotics=
I'm gathering all holy power to pray for my club for the coming competition. People, must buck up. This is your time to make a mark in TJ's history. Hope you all can sincerely fight for the club. (Not literally of course...) Gambatte!
=National Day=
I didn't manage to use the computer on national day. But I did manage to take photos of the firework. It's not very nice at all but it's the best I can take out of it. Lol. They just appear as spots in the picture.
I also played mahjong that day. No win no lose. Most of the times, I'm supposed to win at least half the bet with my relatives... Lousy performance this time. National day parade's interesting. I didn't expect the separated venues to have a different taste of variety for this year. Lots of defence show-offs this time. Some are things I've never seen before. Goody bag looks nice too! Warh~ Blame my luck for not getting chosen for tickets.

Updates...
=Mugging Process=
I'm getting restless once in a while but still in a good swing for more.. Syllabus has ended for almost all, soon will be into the full-blown revision lectures and tutorials. Many of my friends has already planned their revision schedule in details already and there has also been additional emphasis on that by the principal. I've never done one in my entire life so far, wonder if it'll work for
me?
=Gossips=
Got photos of jy n ahem studying together, Alex n pa studying together. These are the evidences contributed by jy. Ha, hope you don't mind. Tsk~ Haha.
I would say that some teachers are really alert or have an acute sense of information gathering. Not to mention who, but there are some who really know about what's going on between their students, more than what grades that should matter to them most. Ha.
=NAPFA=
I'm feeling so irritated by my results. But at least it's better than usual. I scored A for sit-ups and shuttle run, D for chin-ups and 2.4 run, C for sit-and-reach, E for standing broad jump. The requirements for standing broad jump is 222cm for 18 year old guys. The first 2 times I jumped was an embarrasing 180+ due to the worn out grip from my shoes and the slippery concrete floor. It's a little bit of unfair to let us jump on that ground instead of the mat. It would have been better but since everyone can jump so far, I see no reason why my performance for that would be lousy. I tried the third and fourth time bare-footed and got 219 and 215 respectively. Haiz. The re-test has to be conducted with all items regardless of how many items failed to achieve a D. That sucks...
=National Day Preparation=
TJ allows chalk and rice graffiti to be decorated under the LT and the stretch of w
alkway around
there. I thought it will be quite messy but turned out to look pretty good! Response is applausible as many classes enthusiastically participated in that. 07/04 and 11/04's combined design is cool! These are the photos. I could only take them separately as the view's too big for my hp. Nice right? 10/04 also did both rice and chalk graffiti for Singapore too. Although not as nice but it's the thoughts th
at matters. Haha. For the rice ones, it's contributed by jian yuan, esmon
d, alex and me! For the chalk one is ping aik, alex, esmond, jian yuan and me. We wanted to include everyone in the class but turns out to be quite messy. However the main message can still be seen. Heez.
=Anime=
Naruto episode for this week's a bluff! I heard from lim pin that there's no new release for this week so there can't be a translated episode which I thought there was. The video that I downloaded was about some weird comedy which I've not watched yet. Wasted my time downloading that.
The way Inuyasha and Shaman King portrays fighting scenes are actually quite simplified, I feel. It lacks the depth of reality how matches are fought steps by steps and some parts are over-looked. It resembles the older films of martial arts whereby the person just strikes and the enemy either dies or runs away. Hope to wish for a more exciting thrill to fights in the later episodes.

=Mugging Progress=
I don't know if my pace is considered slow or fast. I've covered more than enough for tutorials definitely. Revision right now is purely for maths and chemistry. Other subjects aren't there yet. But somehow I've found my motivation to do what I should do and I'm relieved I did.
=Windows=
I've just downloaded the theme for Windows Vista, the next windows OS coming to town, p
reviously known as longhorn. It's quite cool I thought, after reading the review of it. The aim of the new windows is to simply tasks and make it real easy for newbies to handle. Vista means visual clarity according what Microsoft somehow has stated. The review of the site is at http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winvista_beta1_01.asp. What I can simulate is only a portion of it. Here's the screen shot of my com. =) Looking forward to it, it'll be available at early 2006.
=NS=
Quite a lot of my classmates have gone for the NS checkup already. Not that many came back with PES A. I wonder what sort of training will the PES A guys be undergoing. I'm feeling kind of anxious about what will go on in there, but no use thinking about it right now. Hope it's nothing surprising... Ha.. At least I don't have to go back there to recheck PES status.
Esmond got selected for the pilot test sometime ago which seems interesting. Ha, but it's beyond my reach due to my myopia degree. =X
=Fever=
I've reached 38.3 degree fever on wednesday morning. It's quite terrible at that time, not only about the feverish effect but it also sends chilling pain sensation through all my bones. It's really nerve-wreaking... I was told that I curled up like a ball when I slept on Tuesday night.
Ok... my fever's gone but here comes the irritating cough and sore throat. I can hardly swallow my saliva without causing any discomfort. Now with the disgusting phloem sticking down my throat. Yucks..
=Life=
I heard from my brother that his form teacher has suddenly passed away on wednesday. (Yes, same day as my illness and several others including JY, Jeremy, Es, Ms Fong that didn't come to school also.) It's really too unexpected and I can hardly believe the reality. She's only about 20++, just became an official teacher and just got married and she just left the world like that for an unknown cause yet to be known. Perhaps everyone should fill their days with meaningful things, better to do things you always wanted to than to procrastinate and leave behind regrets. Tomorrow is something you can never be sure will arrive...

Recent tutorials and remedials have almost drawn the life out of me. I suppose it's due to the sudden change in lifestyle I'm facing that makes me so uncomfortable for this period. I've always lack the discipline to do the right things automatically. But I'm doing it right now. I want to be proud of myself for A level results.
Tutorials are ahead now. That should be the pace. Doing revisions for chemistry nowadays...
These are the photos I took some time ago and only managed to get this to my computer after I bought the cables yesterday. It refreshes the fond memories I've had with my friends and family. Here they are:
=Robotics=
This is the one taken during roboGP competiton.
There are many things I've yet to see from micromouse competitions I've gone through in the past. The com
petition atmosphere is not that dead, haha and there's interesting designs for robots like what you can see... Yes, they are roboracers!
=Class Memories=
These are the class photos tak
en in school and 
at the 10/04 outings. I guess there are not many outings whereby 10/04 gets together all the time. I think I'll probably miss you guys a lot when I leave TJ. Thanks for all the fun time that was shared. =)

Yea~ Another day for me to blog...
=Today=
Jy, Es and me was supposed to meet up at 4 for the $1.60 movie as offered in straits times at orchard cathay cineleisure. However as expected, there'll be long queues of people going for the offer. When they reached there first, there already isn't any slots... I'm so disappointed. T_T A change of plan to watch a rented movie at Es's house. Since it's almost on my way home, I thought it'll be fine to go there. Fortunately, I talked to joel and wq for approximately 1 hr before leaving. Otherwise, I may have to stone in Rivervale Mall.
We watched white noise. I thought it'll be exciting, perhaps somewhat like 'Shutter'. Eh, I'm wrong again. The tempo of the show is generally slow with some exceptional sharp scares in between but mostly due to sound effects. The amplifier is good and luckily we didn't just give up when we thought there's no sound. The show reminds me of boogeyman, or at most slightly better.
=Class Cliques=
After computing lesson today, I had a discussion with wq and joel about class politics. Ha, it's quite fun to talk about that at a higher level, analysing everyone. Being in cliques has its pros and cons although there seems to be more cons than pros. It's obvious what cons are as the word 'clique' is already hinting of it. For the pros is that you'll really get to know a friend very well and someone to depend on. I guess that feelings beat having a lot of friends but none to confide to.
Just for some reason, perhaps a wrong mix of people together, I think. Ha, I sound quite gossipy but at least it's something new to talk to wq with. Haha. But joel touched my hair again.
=Robotics=
There seems to be a rough time during transition of positions. I feel that no matter what has happened, it's bad to call people names... For me, blog is something for many to read about. So there's some sense of responsibility involved when writing our feelings... Anyway, I really hope things do turn out better and all the best for their years in robotics. Will miss you all, =)
=JCT aftermath=
It has landed everyone either in serious despair or an infallible determination to do even better. My classmates haven't been doing very well compared to my seniors who took their JCT last year, did relatively better. Jy has been quite sad for some time already... I think cp's too.
Well, for me I'm going through a bit of both. I'm even more depressed after the talk with Mrs Leong. Haiz, do I really have to end up dropping a subject before I can do well? I haven't really decide what course to take on in university and thus holding on to 4 is still quite important for me. I hasn't fail overall requirement but this definitely isn't anyway near the standard I can perform. I don't want to face disappointment next time round.
=NKF saga=
I'm sure the news has indeed delivered much shock to everyone. With a pay so high, toilets so comfortable, holiday flights so high class, bonuses so attractive, who'll not have the urge to make a fuss about it? Especially when it's supposed to be a charity organisation. People didn't donate to make him that 'successful'. Ha, there's much more complications to this. Although NKF has in actual 30 years of reserves, there'll need to be someone popularly trusted to take over the management of it in order to allow people to regain trust. Otherwise, I believe the donation amount will be going downhill... Other charity organisations will also probably have hard time trying to persuade people to believe that theirs aren't money-conning organisation. Now is a time where full transparency should come to play perhaps.
=Misc=
Ha, friendster lately has launched a games section. Something I never thought it'll be. The classified sections already amazed me sometime before. But nevertheless, it's still quite useful.
I was thinking about opportunities for people to be singers. They say that looks aren't that important but height was never mentioned at all. But I guess it does affect to great extent. Or I mean I've never seen a short singer before especially for males. Then perhaps, it's just another thing to illustrate nothing is absolutely fair on earth.

A summary for this week's updates:
=Dating Video=
Hmm, it's interesting to see actually there's so much teens that have very open concept about sex be it casual sex or those involving relationship. The statistics say about 10% but it's definitely under-reported.
This girl Karen has about 50 sexual partners. Omg, that's really a lot. Why don't someone give her a right piece of mind about the real concept of true love? Maybe there's addiction involved but I think no one will like to feel that cheap about themselves.
For me, I don't really have a clear line as to where I'll allow dating to go. But still I don't see myself going far if I start dating now. Probably almost impossible. Ha, but I don't like the idea of casual sex anyway.
=GP Video=
It's about the effects of outsourcing due to globalisation. Outsourcing refers to the procuring of services or products, such as the parts used in manufacturing a motor vehicle, from an outside supplier or manufacturer in order to cut costs. Overall, I find the video quite interesting except for the saturated high pitch sound produced as the AV room is locked, thus unable to reduce the volume.
Can't remember if it's the Bangladesh or Bangalore indians that's featured... Should be the latter one. The way how their culture is transformed through outsourcing is very much similar to Singapore in the past. They have become rather westernized or americanized in just a short period of time. The difference of ideas shared by just 2 generations can be quite significant.
This leads me to think about whether that is the inevitable outcome of globalisation. However, the relative idea of americanisation is rather controversial I think. Since America happens to be the first to start such consumerism trend and other countries follow doesn't neccessary mean that they're incorporating American culture. If it's some other nation that start out as a super power, they will develop along the same kind of pattern I believe.
However, focusing on the call company alone which recruits large numbers of educated indians can already make their lives rather different. They are trained in American's accent. The 't' sound is being softened to sound like 'd'. 'Water' have to sound like 'wader'. Ha, I find it personally rather amusing as I've never really taken attention to nuances in pronunciation especially in English accent.
On the other hand, the idea of 'glocalised' as defined by the journalist of CNN is to embrace globalisation and yet localised it to their culture is pretty much demonstrated so far. Some festivals such as the Valentine's Day is not broadly accepted as they believe love is spontaneous. The indians also have close family ties that bond them very connected to one another. Another thing that freaks me off somehow is the pool of talents that are produced annually. Imagine how much competition there'll be when I enter the working pool. Will employment be unprecedentally challenging in the future? I suppose only dilligence can give me a better insurance for that...
=London=
Basically, I have no comments as to it being chosen as 2012's hosting venue. I suppose anywhere will do as long as the spirit of Olympic is there. Shouldn't that be the main purpose? Of course, the implications of it being chosen is far more attractive other than the prestige. Tourism and economic sector will benefit from it for sure.
However sadly, just after the day they won the venue for Olympic, it's being bombed by terrorists. I've scanned through a couple of lines from the news and I wonder if it'll make visitors drop their confidence of visiting London. I suppose so, but 2012 is still 7 years away, who'll know what lies ahead. Their last bad scale of deaths was during WWII when the german drop missiles on them I think.
=TJ VP=
Eh, another person has just become a vice principal in TJ. Oh man, how many vice principalS do we need? Addressing all of them during morning assembly will seem like a funny issue. Such a long list of names, ha.
=Computing Coursework=
Being dilligent will help but sometimes I just wish I were a little more smarter. Perhaps that will save me quite a great deal of effort and time. There's quite a lot of things I cannot grasp it very well. It seems to me that Maran and Quang Hung can... Haiz.. I shall try harder then.
=Misc=
For no reasons, I seem to reminicise the times when I was in NYJC. I miss all my friends there. Wonder how they're doing.
I hate people who will just be very nice to me only when help is needed from me. Other than that, they don't talk to me. Don't need to pretend to be nice. Even if you don't take pleasure in talking to me, just being normal will do.
I just hope my friends can be a little more caring...
=Dating Video=
Hmm, it's interesting to see actually there's so much teens that have very open concept about sex be it casual sex or those involving relationship. The statistics say about 10% but it's definitely under-reported.
This girl Karen has about 50 sexual partners. Omg, that's really a lot. Why don't someone give her a right piece of mind about the real concept of true love? Maybe there's addiction involved but I think no one will like to feel that cheap about themselves.
For me, I don't really have a clear line as to where I'll allow dating to go. But still I don't see myself going far if I start dating now. Probably almost impossible. Ha, but I don't like the idea of casual sex anyway.
=GP Video=
It's about the effects of outsourcing due to globalisation. Outsourcing refers to the procuring of services or products, such as the parts used in manufacturing a motor vehicle, from an outside supplier or manufacturer in order to cut costs. Overall, I find the video quite interesting except for the saturated high pitch sound produced as the AV room is locked, thus unable to reduce the volume.
Can't remember if it's the Bangladesh or Bangalore indians that's featured... Should be the latter one. The way how their culture is transformed through outsourcing is very much similar to Singapore in the past. They have become rather westernized or americanized in just a short period of time. The difference of ideas shared by just 2 generations can be quite significant.
This leads me to think about whether that is the inevitable outcome of globalisation. However, the relative idea of americanisation is rather controversial I think. Since America happens to be the first to start such consumerism trend and other countries follow doesn't neccessary mean that they're incorporating American culture. If it's some other nation that start out as a super power, they will develop along the same kind of pattern I believe.
However, focusing on the call company alone which recruits large numbers of educated indians can already make their lives rather different. They are trained in American's accent. The 't' sound is being softened to sound like 'd'. 'Water' have to sound like 'wader'. Ha, I find it personally rather amusing as I've never really taken attention to nuances in pronunciation especially in English accent.
On the other hand, the idea of 'glocalised' as defined by the journalist of CNN is to embrace globalisation and yet localised it to their culture is pretty much demonstrated so far. Some festivals such as the Valentine's Day is not broadly accepted as they believe love is spontaneous. The indians also have close family ties that bond them very connected to one another. Another thing that freaks me off somehow is the pool of talents that are produced annually. Imagine how much competition there'll be when I enter the working pool.

This is what I found out from an analysis of a personality web site. This is interesting as the questions asked are somehow not related to my character or at least not directly. Most descriptions should be rather accurate I think.
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.Your views on education
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.=JCT=
Got very lousy results this time. I think I scored last in computing. How outrageous... Perhaps I spend too little time in it. Maths may be better but due to the fact that it's an easy paper. Physics as compared to promos is very much below standard. On a rather high pressure to elevate my physics grades. As for Chem, I hope it won't be too disappointing. News of it so far isn't very positive. There's single digit mark for Chem in my class. GP is hard to spectaculate. It won't be anything good, that's what I can conclude for my past experiences.
=Birthdays=
Finally managed to get an opportunity to buy presents for mx and y3. I remembered last year mao xin was groaning about his unpopular presence as no one is willing to buy him presents except lz. Yea, he was telling me... and I happen to be one of the guilty ones. Haha. Jy and me decided to do a little work on the presents to make things even more meaningful for the couple. Haha. If there's more time, it'll be even better as we'll be able to sort things out nicely.
=Class Outing=
Aww... missed the class outing to Sentosa. Heard it was very fun even though few turned up. I thought probably the guys and girls will be playing separately and it'll be quite boring. Looks like this time, it's not. Ha...
=Sakae Sushi=
Yum... Thx kor for your sushi treat. Really so apologetic to cause such a big hole in your pocket. Ha. Mm.. It's my first time to eat there anyway. I hope I didn't appear too 'suaku'. Ha. Anyway, don't worry so much about your health. You'll be blessed! =)
=School Work=
I saw the lessons schedule for physics and chemistry while I was arranging the files last night and I happen to realise that the pace after June Common Test will be ultra fast. Probably there'll be no room for slacking anymore. Computing coursework will start on this friday... Haiz... I'm so panicky about it. Hope it won't end up like the second coursework. =<
Thanks kor for your present. Heez, I like it. =) I'll use it during A's.
Quite a boring day today. Wanted to run but in the end too lazy to. Naruto comics is really a lot much more ahead than the videos. It's already so cool with just static pictures, what more to say for the videos. So addictive for me, ha.

For those who find the story I posted before interesting, I found it in friendster bulletin... I shall try to post more of different varieties stuff in the future provided if I can remember what interesting sightings I've seen so far.
=JCT review=
I'm quite disappointed in my performance this time. Somehow, I already can foresee how things will probably go from now. I've never done that badly in physics before, damn... Moreover, it's ridiculous to spend my money on things like tuition when there's no significant improvement on my grade at all!
=Strange News=
Lately, the announcement of Apple to switch to using Intel chips has amazed me quite much. My first thought was to install the latest Apple Mac OS on my PC since the processor would be the same... However, as expected, they will have installed some protection to recognise if the hardware is the authentic Apple's one.
=Latest Recounts=
I was wondering how tall I will grow up to be when I was a kid. It just surprise me so much to see everyone relatively gigantic to me. Ha, in the end, didn't end up growing tall.. Aww, that's sad.
=Reflections=
As I grow much older than I was, I beginning to hate the control I'm in. Is it a blessing that I still have parents to control me or curse that I can never do things what other people will think it's definitely okay to do? I don't have an answer. I hope to get to work soon and be more independent. Only then, I can choose how I want to live my life.

Hmm... If only life's like fantasy, where guys and girls can just be in purely in love and be happily ever after. Or maybe there is, just that it hasn't happen on me. I still find that I cannot be the unfeeling person I've tried to be. It's hard being a cold, ruthless person. Sometimes, I just don't like to admit things directly or it's just more natural of me to be truthful to trusted friends whom I believe that they won't hurt me..
Shi ne... That's romanji word for die.. That's how I'll become for JCT. Just merely touch a bit of organic chemistry today only... Yucks, that's sheer slow. Got to hasten my pace triple!!
Ha, I can't seem to find things of some cartoon characters to buy as gifts. Not like winnie the pooh whereby I can see almost anywhere... Hmm...
Just downloaded a few lyrics to my comp, maybe I'll just post one of those lyrics here. =P
=98 Degrees - The Hardest Thing=
We both know that I shouldn't be here
This is wrong
And baby it's killing me, it's killing you
Both of us trying to be strong
I've got somewhere else to be
Promises to keep
Someone else who loves me
And trusts me fast asleep
I've made up my mind
There is no turning back
She's been good to me
And she deserves better than that
Chorus:
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to do
To look you in the eye
And tell you I don't love you
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion
When you start to cry
I can't let you see
What you mean to me
When my hands are tied
And my hearts not free
We're not meant to be
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever had to do
To turn around and walk away
Pretending I don't love you
I know that we'll meet again
Fate has a place and time
So you can get on with your life
I've got to be cruel to be kind
Like Dr. Zhivago
All my love I'll be sending
And you will never know
There can be no happy ending
Chorus
Maybe another time, another day
As much as I want to, I can't stay
(Ooh)
I've made up my mind
There is no turning back
She's been good to me
And she deserves better than that
Chorus
I don't want to live a lie
What can I do

Yo people, I'm finally tagging another entry after the last entry which was quite outdated already. I don't know why but I just don't feel the addiction to come online that often for those days. Somehow I feel fatigue's accumulating a lot even though I try to relax myself.
Thanks people for making the chalet a nice one! The only regret was that not many year 1s are free on these dates of chalet. Otherwise, year 2s will need only to idle around during bbq. Ha, joking. This time round only manage to get Jaron to come down for the bbq. Youquan and Sabrina are uncontactable.
=Chalet Day 1=
Before I set off to meet y3 2.45 at downtown east lobby, I have myself searching for ezlink card for 15+ minutes that caused me to be slightly late. Therefore I may as well wait for lim pin knowing he's on the way to interchange soon.
Turnout's pretty good on day 1. The room isn't big so it seems squeezy for all that turned up. Compared to the last visit to Downtown East, the room decoration seems to have improved. When the TV ads of DE show up, it's a strange how fun the ads show DE to be when I'm not ready to spend on anything much.
Don't know how the check in system works. The lobby changes its place to another part of DE. Got a free swim board upon checking in. The receptionist somehow gives me that stare when I tell her I'm over 18. I don't look that old yet? Perhaps she didn't mean that way. Ha I think maybe I was just too sensitive. Ha.
The couple now willing to let others acknowledge their relationship after a long time... Hahaha, wanted to grill them with more (interview-type) questions but didn't as I thought somehow it'll turn out to be pretty stupid.
Everyone first watch superstar on channel U then spongebob squarepants on central.. It's y3's favourite show, so she cannot miss it. Lim pin was commenting on the lameness of the show. Ok, I've witnessed it.
Had dinner at BK which is so damn expensive. The only thing nice was the star wars bottle. But since there's no cap, I doubt it can be used as a bottle. Anyway, I should have tried the "galatic burgers". Looks yummy at least.
Didn't have mahjong sets to rent this time. We resort to borrow one from gerard's mother. Haha. Jaron and lim pin's hands already itching for mahjong. Ha.. Gibson's luck was really extremely bad. Lost all rounds, hahaha...
Halo 2 was most of the time what is on the TV set. Gerard brought that and MX, james, gerard were taking turns to play that. Everyone else seems bored. Or at least I am. I think y3 too, she's either stoning or smiling at her handphone.
=Chalet Day 2=
Y3, Mx, Gerard, James, DK and me stayed overnight. I was playing cards initially, then change to become a teacher. I taught y3 and DK mahjong after I teach DK bridge. There's many terminologies to remember which seems to pose more difficulty to beginners than other things else. DK has exceptionally strong sense in entertainment stuff. He picks every fun things rapidly. Oh man, either I'm just dumb or he's just smart. It takes me quite a while to pick off last time. James joined in later on and I got to re-explain.
Occasionally, I need to purposely refocus my eyes to elsewhere but it's hard with the loving couple eh... I wonder if DK has the same sentiments. =P
Had my shower quite late. Around 12 plus I think. I thought at least 1 person will bring toothpaste but turn out, opps, NO ONE!? Everyone wasn't in a sleeping mood then so I didn't sleep as well. I start making pyramid out of mahjong before extending it to igloo as claimed by y3. There's eiffel tower and jenga tower as well. Ha. After that, I still succumb to my fatigue. I'm so sorry y3 n mx have to help to keep those mahjong tiles away. Aiya, just take that as an appreciation for my effort in teaching them mahjong then. =P
Ask so... many times for the breakfast. No one gives a proper answer. End up eating the instant noodles y3 n I bought back. Diao~ I sponsor $8 for the food but seems like not much of it was eaten. Ehh....
Lunch at the food court. It's almost half as expensive as BK. But still, I felt cheated. $3 for a damn small plate of "char siew" rice. Except for gerard's $3 "char kuey" which seems lesser than mine, mx and y3's ones are a lot more.
Felt kind of bored so request wei jie to come earlier. I went for a swim with him at the pool which people can see through the sides and bottom. Yay, I think I learn a few more interesting tips from him to improve my frontcrawl style aka freestyle. I still need to practise more to ensure I can swim a longer stretch.
BBQ goes as normal... The part about skewering chickens is a bit more problematic. It's not "I" who want to skewer it. I just think it'll be easier for even heat distribution and for everyone else to eat easier.
Heineken made me quite bloated. I wasn't feeling drunk, just super uncomfortable due to the fizzy gas in my stomach.
=Chalet Day 3=
No Halo this time. Only bridge, bridge and more bridge... Somehow, mx is in his madcat form. He's rather high, keep raising the bid to 4 no triumph level and make everyone go crazy with it.
Woke up later than the checking out time. Rushed to pack and go...
=Election of New EXCO=
It's roughly the same way how lp, wj and I got elected last year. It's an event that will make some people surprised and some disappointed. There was really a serious consideration of every year 1s, who'll be more appropriate for the EXCO posts. I think that communication within EXCO and to other members need to be stressed. For my batch, I think I can work really well with lp and wj but maybe slightly lacking in the way message is passed down to members.
One who have the technical experience for a job is of course good. But for certain things, character is very important to look at when choosing a suitable person for a role as interpersonal relationship is often the underlying factor to keeping the club united.
Of course, whoever got or didn't get the posts, I wish to see all to stay united. We're still as 1 club. Hopefully, everyone can contribute indiscriminately to the club.
=Misc=
Somehow I find myself rather immature. I don't know myself that well yet. I take things on when maybe I may not even be prepared. That can only end up hurting myself ultimately. Opportunity is rare and it often slips through my hand as I'm indecisive. I need to learn to be a better person and then perhaps others will learn to cherish me as a valuable individual more.

Weather's getting so freaking hot nowadays. Imagine having intense heat from both the weather and the fire from bbq, how will that be like? I've got nothing to say about any other things else. I came across this short story which seems like a new one as I've not seen this one before. Here it goes:
==============================================
my mom only had one eye.
i hated her... she was such an embarressment..
my mom ran a small shop at a flea market.
she collected little weeds and such to sell...
anything for the money we needed
she was such an embarressment.
there was this one day during elementary school..
it was field day, and my mom came.
i was so embarressed. how could she do this to
me? i threw her a hateful look and ran out.
the next day at school...
"your mom only has one eye?!?!" ..and they
taunted me.
i wished that my mom would just dissappear from
this world
so i said to my mom,
"mom.. why dont you have the other eye?!
if you're only gonna make me a laughingstock,
why dont you just die?!!!"
my mom did not respond..
i guess i felt a little bad, but at the same time, it
felt good to think that i had said what i'd wanted to
say all this time..
maybe it was because my mom hadnt punished
me,
but i didnt think that i had hurt her feelings very
badly.
that night...
i woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass
of water.
my mom was crying there, so quietly, as if she
was afraid that she might wake me.
i took a look at her, then turned away.
because of the thing i had said to her earlier, there
was something pinching at me in the corner of my
heart.
even so, i hated my mother who was crying out of
her one eye. so i told myself that i would grow up
and become successful.
cause i hated my one-eyed mom and our
desperate poverty..
then i studied real hard.
i left my mother and came to Seoul and studied,
and got accepted in the Seoul University with all
the confidence i had.
then, i got married.
i bought a house of my own.
then i had kids, too..
now i'm living happily as a successful man.
i like it here because it's a place that doesnt
remind me of my mom.
this happiness was getting bigger and bigger,
when..
what?!
who's this?!
...it was my mother...
..still with her one eye.
it felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me.
my little girl ran away, scared of my mom's eye.
and i asked her,
"who are you?!"
"i dont know you!!!" as if trying to make that real. i
screamed at her," how dare you come to my
house and scare my daughter!"
"GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!"
and to this, my mother quietly answered,
"oh, i'm so sorry. i may have gotten the wrong
address,"
and she dissappeared out of sight.
thank good ness... she doesnt recognize me..
i was quite relieved.
i told myself that i wasnt going to care, or think
about this for the rest of my life.
then a wave of relief came upon me...
one day, a letter regarding a school reunion came
to my house. so, lying to my wife that i was going
on a business trip, i went.
after the reunion, i went down to the old shack,
that i used to call a house...just out of curiosity
there, i found my mother fallen on the cold ground.
but i did not shed a single tear.
she had a piece of paper in her hand.... it was a
letter to me.
my son...
i think my life has been long enough now..
and... i wont visit Seoul anymore...
but would it be too much to ask if i wanted you to
come visit me once in a while?
i miss you so much.. and i was so glad when i
heard you were coming for the reunion.
but i decided not to go to the school.
...for you...
and i'm sorry that i only have one eye, and i was
an embarressment for you.
you see, when you were very little, you got into
an
accident, and lost your eye. as a mom, i couldnt
stand watching you having to grow up with only
one eye... so i gave you mine...
i was so proud of my son that was seeing a
whole
new world for me, in my place, with that eye. i
was
never upset at you for anything you did.. the
couple times that you were angry with me,.. i
thought to myself, 'it's because he loves me..'
my son... oh, my son...
i dont want you to cry for me, because of my
death.
please dont cry....
my son, i love you so much.
something gripped the corner of my heart.
and tears were flowing from the eye that my
mother had given me..
my mom... my loving mom..
===============================================
==============================================
my mom only had one eye.
i hated her... she was such an embarressment..
my mom ran a small shop at a flea market.
she collected little weeds and such to sell...
anything for the money we needed
she was such an embarressment.
there was this one day during elementary school..
it was field day, and my mom came.
i was so embarressed. how could she do this to
me? i threw her a hateful look and ran out.
the next day at school...
"your mom only has one eye?!?!" ..and they
taunted me.
i wished that my mom would just dissappear from
this world
so i said to my mom,
"mom.. why dont you have the other eye?!
if you're only gonna make me a laughingstock,
why dont you just die?!!!"
my mom did not respond..
i guess i felt a little bad, but at the same time, it
felt good to think that i had said what i'd wanted to
say all this time..
maybe it was because my mom hadnt punished
me,
but i didnt think that i had hurt her feelings very
badly.

It's really dreadfully hot for the past few days. I've been sweating awfully much, making my neck itchy. Yucks, especially when I'm doing housework.
I felt so guilty exploding on my parents when my mood is so foul. I don't know since when have I become so sensitive to words. Some words that were mentioned by them pricked me a lot even though after thinking through, it's rather mild which when similarly said by a friend, I won't even react to that.
A friend actually asks me what do I do in Friendster. It's a funny thing really. I can't even give a reasonable answer for that other than just accept "friends" whom I don't even know? There's a lot more features coming up like the "Classified" section but it's not for me yet. Haha... I doubt if I really do keep in contact with even 1/4 of all my primary friends in there.
I've seen a couple of lines I came across I thought seem to describe how I am.
- The guy who love you, actually always make you mad, but he never knew what stupid things he had done, as everything he did, is for your own good.
- The guy who love you, seldom praise you, but in his heart, you are the best, only he knows it.
- The guy who love you, maybe can't remember special occasion like some kind of anniversary, but he do know that every second he live, he's loving you no matter what day is today.
- The guy who love you, if he can't always see you, he will try to make himself busy, for not to have any time to remember you, because he knew if he did, he will keep on missing you until he could do nothing.
- The guy who love you, don't like little toy like teddy bear, but he will always put the bear you give him at his bed.
- The guy who really love you, will feel that sometimes, something have to be told for only
once, because he thought that u might already understand him, if talk so much, he will feel that
there's nothing you will cherish.

I feel kind of weird when people treat me overly nice. Sounds stupid and contradictory but that's just how my brain works. Subconsciously, a comparison will be drawn of how badly I've been treated and how nice some people can be. If only I can choose what to be remembered, what to be forgotten. (eg: tutorials and revision can't be forgotten... birthdays also. Will get blamed for sure)
Tired. I shall stop here. =X
