EXAMS ARE OVER!! YEAH !! FINALLY!! now i can finally go back to my 老本行 of being a slacker. ( i am a full time slacker and part time student). the few important things to do for next few weeks are as follow:

(1) eat
(2) sleep
(3) play
(4) watch vcds (priority: anime...)

oop... forgot have to move stuff back home....

2 papers down... 3 more to go.... life sux (quote from mona)... physical chem in 11 hours... and still dun understand what the heck the lecture notes are talking about despite i had dutifully attended most of the lectures for this semester.... shit...

am lingering at the SRC Linger Cafe now.. yes that the canteen with pretty lousy food. the reasom that i am here is because the conference room is occupied, therefore we are forced to linger at the cafe till 6pm... ok enough about the lingering...

regatta 2004 is officially over (for 2 days already actually... okay i abit wols) i think we did pretty well, got third for ivp and first women's plate final... guess what... the prize for the plate final is really a plate... a gold plate... haha... so interesting right... ok here is a hort recount of the event.. (short because despite being stuck at the linger cafe... i am SUPPOSE to be studying...) on stuarday, as usual... we met early for breakfast at mac... wat not usual is i got my lao mei to go down to help as a drummer... then there is the usual excitement and chaos and photo taking of the race... then we went down for the first event... women's open heat.. that is where my lao mei ask me that if she drop into the water i will continue to paddle right... and i nod head and told her yar... heartless as usual haha... then there is usual drama of races boats capsizing (although there seemed to be more capsize for this regatta... dun ask me why) and we did quite well the first day.. getting in semi for both open women's and mixed...

Then on sunday, it is the usual mac breakfast which we "da bao" to eat the UOB plaza so as to protect the "di pan".. then there was the race... and of course more photo taking...

today was my last german lesson... sigh.. think i going to miss my german class alot. maybe it is a language class or something and my class people are all very lively and we interact alot and have alot of fun.. i going to miss them... till next sem.. german 2. hopefully we will be in the same class... and i want to go for german immersion programme must start to save money now... think it will be fun but it migh clash with June race.. haiz.. praying super duper hard it will not... pls don't let June race clash with the immersion...

i am seriously pissed with myself. i missed lectures again. shit. i feel that i had wasting a lot of time and is just procastinating when i have so much to do. idoit.

Here is an update on my interesting life, that is if i have one.

my room is attacked by ants... i am so going to make all the ants regret it.. i officaially declared war against all the ants that are going to step into my room.. you are all going to die if you let me catch you.

woke up this morning in time to make it to my physical chem lecture to only realised that ants has invaded my room (actually yirang who stayed over discovered it first) in the end had to spend the morning sweeping and mopping the floor... and of course this lead to me missing my lecture. shit. i am already like lagging way way behind my lectures (what happened to the resolution??) and missing lectures doesn't help at all...

after spending hour plus sweeping and mopping the floor... i made my way down to science (of the course the lecture had already ended) and went to co-op to get my specs fixed ( i broke it on sun, dun ask me how i broke it. I DUN KNOW. it just broke.).. i thought it would not be too expensive since only the side broke... who knows.. the uncle at the specs shop says that there is no spare part.. so i had to make a brand new specs and it cost me $70. shit. it is going to take me weeks to recover the $70... but well if you look on the bright side... i have a brand new specs now=)... and discovered the joy of having a pair of good specs after having to make do with only contact lenses for 2 days. anyway thinki will attempt to repair my old specs by trying and see if i can stick it back with superglue.

anyway the picture you saw above was taken by a photographer named Dewitt Jones. heard abt him in TR2202 lecture today and was inspired by his photos... TR2202 lecture was interesting today.. not only got to see great photos... got free pens also.. haha...

ok had to get back to work... got 2 projects due next week... not to mention all the catchig up i had to do.

what is worse then one lab report? TWO lab reports.

due to unforeseen circumstances...i didn't buy a phone again.. i had this feeling i not going to change my phone soon... it is too troublesome to decide over all the features, designs and pricing of the handphone... ergh...

~if the lines on your hand represents your fate. then fate is in your hand.

i need motivation, to set out to do what i want to do. i need to determination to do what to do what might be difficult. i need to perserverence to hang in there, to finish what i had already started out to do. i might not suceed, but i will try.


~ If you can't get through the mountain, try going around it.

If you can't go around, try going over it.

If you can't go over it, ask yourself if getting to other side is all that important.

If it is, set your heart out to dig a tunnel through it.

never depend on technology. sometime i simply hate technology. today is one such day. at 10.30am, 1 and half hours to my german semester test, i was slogging through entering german nouns in the online website vocab book so as to churn out a table to do a last minute revision and memorization of the words while eating my brunch (which consists of instant noodle and milk tea) when the website suddenly give up on me. damn. can't open the website. can't load the page. can't print the words. and time check: 11.00am. dead. half an hour left before i need to leave hall to make it in time for the test. no time to use the good old tradition method of using a pen and paper to churn out the table. damn. so i spend the next half an hour refreshing the page (hoping that the website will be up again), eating and trying to read the available worksheets. of course to no avail. damn. and whose fault is it. mine. why? cos i know of the test long ago and had been procastinating instead of studying and leaving it to last mintue. great and what happened: the website crashed. argh.

lesson learned: never leave things to last mintue. but will lesson be applied? well... =)

finally. the Army Half Marathon is over. 21km in 3 hours.yeah. that is better than what i had expected. all thanks to mona who has been 'forcing' me to run. Thanks Mona!! but no mona.. no... i am not considering another half marathon right now... =) well so here is te recount of the event:

i woke up at 330am asking myself why am i doing this to myself after a day of training... then i drag myself out of the bed, shower grab my stuff 2 pieces of breads and forced myself out of the door before i changed my mind and decide that i should go back to sleep and waste my money... then i grab a cab and pick up mona on the way and made our way to the starting point which is at the Padang ( side note: it is appparantly much easier to catch a cab in the middle of the night then i thought... there is cabs everywhere at 4 am in the morning, which according to the taxi uncle is to cater to pubbing crowd as pubs usually closes at 330am... oh well...) when we arrived at padang we saw a whole bunch of people,mostly guys, who are as crazy as we are to wake up early in the morning to participate in the event ( with exclusion to the army guys who i think are forced to join the event) and a poor DJ who has to wake up as early as we are to entertain us. then wala.. it is the run... which we apparantly missed the flag off and started late... which me and iso decided that we should keep a slow and constant pace which is apparantly slower then our team mates pace... which of course means that we lost them like 2km down the route... then as the run goes on.. each km seem longest then the one before... and my motivation become the next Gatorade water point (although the Gatorade is extremely diluted)... then we managed to catch up with angeline somewhere along ECP... then iso got this sudden bust of energy and start to pick up pace and got further and further... oh well... and for the rest of the run i was running at this really slow pace. (i mean really SLOW pace) and of course looking out for the next Gatorade point. yeah. this trend continued all the way until the endpoint at the esplanade.

After which, me ah yi and iso went in search for milk in hope that it will have the same effects as the good old vitasoy that we had been drinking after every training... and whao.. daisy hi-lo milk had never taste better! yeah!!

after effects: aches in the knees, ankles and back.. what the hell...

and for those curious souls out there... the photo above had nothing to do with the run. it was taken last year in perth australia and i happen to like it alot.. so what the hell if it is 1 year ago.=)

i love rainy days. i love the rain despite all the inconvenience you might faced because of the rain, i don't like to walk with a umbrella , i simply love the power in the rain, the way the rain just seem to come at you, the way it seems to wash the whole world. i feel that the world look more beautiful after the rain. okay.. i am weird.

today it was drizzling when i alighted from bus A1 as i walk towards arts i saw a huge downpour coming towards me.. it is the kind of rain you can see coming towards you and you know the rain cloud is going to cover you in like 3 seconds. at that point of time you just feel like you are standing at the border of 2 different worlds and watch the 2 world merged into one. wished i had a camara to take down the moment. it might not just happen again. shit. missed the chance.

~it is the small little things that make your life and make living interesting.
*~* It only rains on people who create the storms*~*

Procastinating.. porcastinating.. procastinating... i am just procastinating here.. i am suppose to be studying for my german vocab test tomolo.. but what am i doing.. nothing... ergh.. i have a ton of stuff to do... and blogging is DEFINITELY not on the top of my list... what am i doing... and my room is in a mess... okay impt things to do

3) pack my room
4) finish the design
5)do cm2111 tutorial
.

and the list never ends... STOP Procastinating and get BACK to WORK!!

As to when I shall visit civilization, it will not be soon, I think. I have not tired of the wilderness; rather i enjoy its beauty and the vagrant life I lead, more keenly all the time. I prefer the saddle to the streetcar and star-sprinkled sky to a roof, the obsure and difficult trail, leading into the unknown, to any paved highway, and the deep peace of the wild to the discontent bred by cities. Do you blame me for staying here, where I feel that I belong and am one with the world around me? It is true that I missed intelligent companionship, but there are so few with whom I can share the things that means so much to me that i have learned to contain myself. It is enough that I am surrounded with beauty...
Even from your scant description, I know that I could not bear the routine and humdrum of the life that you are forced to lead. I don't think I could ever settle down. I have known too much of the depths of life already, and I would prefer anything to an anticlimax.

THE LAST LETTER EVER RECEIVED FROM EVERETTE RUESS,

TO HIS BROTHER, WALDO, DATED NOVEMBER 11, 1934

~~ Quoted from the book Angeline lent me " INTO THE WILD" by Jon Krakauer.

Yeah!!! it is raining cats and dogs and hamsters and whatever outside... just when i want to go out... hopefully the rain will stop of least become smaller in half an hour time... because i really need to go to the sci library to renew a book that i had borrowed for 2 weeks but had no time to read... ergh... i really want to read the book... and i also want to finish the book i borrowed from Angeline... missed the hols where i can read all the FICTION books instead of the textbooks, readings and notes for tests... can't the notes, textbooks and readings be slightly more interesting so that at least when you are reading them you don't feel like sleeping...

and yes i am procastinating now... i suppose to be studying for my test (thats means reading those notes that i have mentioned above) that is going to take place in an hour time but here i am updating my blog... but well, not that i never study... i did flip thru' all the notes i suppose to study and read thru' some of them plus my textbook... but not sure much of it is actually got stored (guess i will finds out in an hour time) and cannot really get the part abt calculations and analysis on the character table, how you actually get the values... well... all the best to me then... luckily it is open book...

the rain seemed too be much smaller... got to venture out to sci lib...

had my SSB2216 prsentation today... the presentation is suppose to try to involved the class but the class was TOTAL unresponsive, whether we try to bribe or try to use penalty questions UNTIL the teacher say there is class participation points... and we missed out a few points and misunderstand the question abit.. but luckily the teacher still give us chance to 补救... so still not that bad.. then the rest of the day is about the same lah... training then go dinner at Angel's Resturant... then back to hall... ya... i meeting Vic to study friday.. see i so hardworking... wahaha... better go do my readings and study for test on thursday since i going to watch moive tomolo... yeah!! at least i am getting out of NUS for a while... =)
