Hmnn new sounds for studying as follows...

1. Yanni 'Live' at the Acropolis
2. Lord Of The Rings OST

This type of .. instrumental music I would think gets me going quite well, its not too deathly silent and there aren't any lyrics at all to distract you.. much better than the mp3s I like to play..

Gotta finish the 2 projects at all cost this weekend if not I'm basically a gone case this semester, which is incidentally my first..

Today was a day well spent.. had a mug-a-thon in science library and did some research on my SS assignment. Me and my wayward legs.. haha I was swinging them around happily unaware that there was a girl sitting opposite me. Of course I couldn't see cos there's this board meant to give yourself more privacy I guess. So of course I didn't really mean it but my legs were feeling claustrophobic so I absolutely needed to stretch them and I made contact with something else than the table. OOPS!! Hahaha I didn't apologize but I was very paiseh.. Hmnn turned out she was .. a looker!
Haha.. oh well so much for the legs~

Had an incredible jog yesterday, ran the same route and I ran faster than before and I didn't really get short of breath. Maybe somehow the "lung capacity" has increased? Hmnn then the compression ratio is higher and thermal efficiency higher.. heh Physics again..

Thanks Beng for joining me for that huge dinner.. hokkien mee + stingray + some curry haha~!

I'm FUCKING DULAN cb
GAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
And its all because of my lack of proper time management. Now I gotta rush 2 projects already and exams are coming soon. But I gotta say I really appreciate my other group memberswho are taking the mod as S/U still quite serious about the project. I was hoping to do well in this mod but I guess its kinda be very tough already. Sigh.. all hope is not lost, I'll try to continue slogging and yeah before I know it it'll be holidays and I'll have a much better assignment to do...

Oh well back to reality.. fuckin hell.. ARHHHH

I don't know why but I just cannot seem to concentrate at all.. I been doing this physics tutorial which should be quite a breeze but somehow I keep getting stuck and start doing bo liao things like ICQ-ing and Friendster-ing.. oh no..
Must really moderate my online time if not I'm sure its gonna cause my downfall. Either that or I gotta study in school..

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird:I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train and
It's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see

It may sound absurd:but don't be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed:but won't you conceed
Even Heroes have the right to dream but
It's not easy to be me

Up, up and away:away from me
It's all right:You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy:or anything:

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It's not easy to be me.
_______________Five for Fighting - Superman (Its not easy)____________________

I just love this song, its the self humbling spirit of the song. Or is it because I'm always permanently depressed over non-existent troubles? Hmnn.. I'll try to figure it out..
Today I msged someone and I got so pissed/depressed/bored all rolled into one that I started watching this Channel I's Indian movie. Turned out it was the much talked about "Lagaan" and I finally finished watching the movie I think like 3 or 4 hours later it seemed like an eternity before it was over.
The movie was about the oppression of an Indian village by who else but the British colonial governor and yeah I guess its set in around the time of India's struggle for independence. So this village's governor of sorts is a British captain and somehow he sets a challenge to Bhuvan a young man. That if Bhuvan can form a team of villagers and win in a game of cricket against the British team, then Captain Russell will cancel Lagaan for 3 years. Lagaan refers to taxes which was already quite unfair because it was the Indians who were toiling and harvesting the grain and yet most if not all of their grain went to Great Britain instead, I guess this is called a self sustaining economy or something like that.
So the hero Bhuvan shocks the whole village by accepting the challenge. (if he loses the whole PROVINCE, not village will pay triple Lagaan) Yeah and as the story evolves, Bhuvan slowly forms his team including his "girlfriend's" father and an outcast or untouchable who was incidentally a cripple. In the end the cripple would prove to turn the British tide...
Well if you somehow manage to get hold of the VCD (no real special effects so DVD is a bit stupid) I recommend that you watch it. Of course there are the usual dances and songs but its much less dumb and stupid than the normal Indian movies I've watched. It has a much more serious and political meaning to it. Oh yeah make sure there are English subtitles, Channel I screened it with subtitles :)

What a day...

For the first time I'm confident of passing my quiz.. yeah man I shall give myself a treat! Well exams are just around the corner and I think everyone's feeling the blues already. ZZzz same goes for me but I guess I gotta set yet another ultimatum for myself, pass all my exams with flying colours! I'm so pissed my multimedia assignment got only a B after all the effort I put in. Obviously my "Matrix" flash wasn't very much appreciated by the lecturer or whoever marked my work, grrr..
Jus now had a nice tennis session with my friend before SS lecture. I'm so glad I decided to turn on my lappie midway through the lecture cos well you never know who's gonna be online~ Too bad my lappie's ICQ hasn't been properly configured so the history wasn't saved :(
Someone told me to be more confident in myself, I don't see how I can even be a wee bit confident, maybe its just the way things are turning out, the rate things are progressing, and the incredible bit of bad luck that I've experienced lately.. well its ok. After all, I've still got a lot of things in life to look forward to.

*listening to Nicholas Tse - Let Me Die and Space - 1 o' clock*

Her: Hey me and ** in arts canteen. You want to join us?

Me: Sure! See you in 5 minutes!

What? Jesus Chri.. I had only just got outta moi ultra comfortable bed, fiddlin around with the exciting new laptop. This has got to be Lady Luck messing around with you on purpose...

Me: I'm still at home! So paiseh! Another time?

Her: I'll be waiting for you! *wink*

Her: Okie, cya ard.

Yup, the fullstop was included by her, not me...

Just in case you guys don't get it, the bold sentences represent the ideal world. Now that is so lame.. *knocks his own head*

Back to reality.. tomorrow Physics quiz as I said I'm gonna pass it by hook or by crook, I'm quite half proud of myself I've studied half as hard as I would like to so I guess I'm half as proud.. LOL
Ok.. back to "K the books"... zzz

My metabolism is going into overdrive.. I had chicken rice at 9:30am today with a huge pack of vitasoy.
Didn't really have lunch, had a dinner at 5:30pm, then went home for my 2nd dinner at around 8:30pm.
Just finished my instant noodles @ 1am.. am I a hungry man or what? I noticed I've become so skinny that I can see the veins in my thighs.. that's surprising to me cos' I never thought there would be such visible veins running along the thighs, inner thighs to be exact.
Hmnn tried out the new lappie @ school today and I guess I'm pretty amazed by its performance so far.. wireless connectivity meant surfing in the canteen.. haha! What a poseur I am.. ok lah I did manage to get some constructive work done in the library using the lappie.

There's a quiz on Thursday and I'm determined to pass it by hook or by crook. My eye's been twitching the whole day already is someone thinking about me??? DREAM ON BOY!!

Woohoo~ I am bleddy 21 now! Hmnn well what can I say.. its back to reality, 1 physics tutorial due tomorrow. Guess I'll have to blog another time round..

Oh my go.. christ... I'm bloody surfing Friendster.com. This friendster thing is so addictive I think they've exploited my inate sense of erm.. what do you call that?
Social curiosity and kay-poh-ness. Maybe if I were a sociology major I could explain this better..
Arghh stupid friendster I'm gonna flunk all my exams!!!
This is getting really crazy oh no help me Mr Sandman!!!

Hehe.. did a bit of template editing today.. hmnn most probably I'm gonna change the CSS style some other time, I think this font is so kiddy..

I went jogging today, but without my mp3 player.. I've noticed something very strange when I jog with the player blastic music in my ears. The music actually seems slower! Wow it might be that my sense of judgement and timing is slightly warped and twisted by the running but yeah, to me the music's tempo is slower!!

This is so hilarious, it relates totally to Galilean transformation or dunno what you would like to call it. I would love to call it "Ah Teck the Great's incredible non Euclidean transformation of music tempo relative to Earth's rotation" .. theorem. Yeah that's what I'll call it. Anyway the thing is basically making a mountain outta a molehill.. say you're running on a bus. The bus is also moving, so your speed relative to Earth is your running speed recorded on the bus + the speed of the moving bus. Why make simple facts so tough to understand? Physics is a lot of bullshit I realised.

So now I'm running so the music tempo relative to my perception of timing is ... slowed down? Hey doesn't that violate the whatever-u-wanna-call-it-theorem ?

Anyway IPPT is on December 19th and I'm determined to clear it at my first try. However I'm already feeling the effects of running on my left knee and ankle already. Maybe I should stick to non-impact activities like swimming.. haha! My favourite actually~!
This friendster thing is getting outta hand as agreed with my army friend. The thing is addictive and I should add friendster as 1 of the addictive waves of modern internet..
Ok, more readings to chiong.. I hope everything's well for...

I can't believe I'm actually gonna hold a 21st birthday party. I haven't held a birthday party since I was like 5 or 6 at most. Well maybe its my introverted nature or something lah but even I'm not so sure. The idea just doesn't really appeal to me, everybody coming to your house and you gotta prepare lotsa food and supposedly games and stuff like that. Maybe its the logistics I'm scared off but I'd rather just chill out with a couple of close friends and go for a nice meal at somewhere cool and breezy. Maybe some lemonade by the pool and a few bikini babes milling about would be a nice addition. Hehe.. where was I?

I figure I've been using Internet since secondary 2. That's like 1996 so I've been positively a frickin' Net half-addict since I was 14 that's almost like 6 years already. I wanna make sure my kids grow up with a REAL childhood, not playing some stupid games at home everyday instead of running about as they should. Reading another person's blog I also kinda realised the different waves my generation has been through. First was IRC, meeting new friends, organising channel outings, crazy bickerings over channel access..
Then it was ICQ, the very first instant messenger to pop out on the net itself. Incredible idea as today's 30 million or god-knows how many users can testify to that. Then came the first mp3 channel I think, #mp3files. Wow~ I thought to myself as I started leeching from users Aerosmith and Nirvana songs, stuff I couldn't have possibly found in record stores. Def Leppard, Led Zep, Weird Al. Then it was the birth of Singapore ONE. Never mind if the portal never really took off, fun.s1.net.sg did! It was then downloads galore using Getright, Southpark episodes streaming down my telephone cable. What else was there, yeah without a doubt the most successful FPS game in multiplayer history, CounterStrike. I started playing in JC1 and I still play it occasionally. There was a point of time where I really couldn't control myself much and I very much wanted to play the darned game, frag the idiot who got me the last round instead of sleeping. Sometimes I played from evening right till around 5am. Thinking back, that was really outrageous and its a wonder I passed my promotional exams and my subsequent A level exams. The bloody game caused a mushrooming of LAN shops all over Singapore, at one point of time it was seriously getting out of hand. The game was infectious and spread like wildfire. Everybody was talking about clans, who was the best sniper, camping tactics and lots of other bugs/cheats.. stuff like that.
Napster came and went, KaZaa is now being sued or something like that and I guess the next big thing of Internet is most probably wireless surfing which is very convenient and popularised by Intel's Centrino notebooks.
Oh well so much for this blog, seems like a summarised history of modern Internet.. haha!

I guess you've heard, I guess you've known, in time I'd have told you but I guess I'm too slow
Its totally romantic, but I know that its real
I hope you don't mind if I say what I feel
Its like living in somebody else's dream
this cannot be happening to me

But you were there
you were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
I was alone I opened my eyes and you were there..

Don't be alarmed no don't be concerned
I don't want to change things leave them just as they were
Honey nothing's really different
Its me you feel strange
I'm always lost for words when someone mentions your name
I know that I'll get over this for sure
I'm not the type that dreams there could be more

But you were there
You were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
I was alone
I opened my eyes and you were there

Can I take your smile home with me
Or the magic in your hair....

The rain has stopped
The storm has passed
Look at all the colours now the sun's here at last
I suppose that you believe it but I want you to know
Part of you stays with me even after you're gone
Like an actor playing someone else's scene
This cannot be happening to me..

But you were there
You were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
I was alone.... and I opened my eyes
And I, I'm not alone, no... not alone...
I opened my eyes... you were there...


You were there by the Southern Sons
Lyrics are my own translation

I would imagine that it is quite tough to believe that a human can almost be controlled psychologically by another human. I think that is exactly my situation now.. I'd better rush physics tutorial by tonight and stop thinking so much.

These are certainly troubling times, I didn't sleep much last night because I was frickin' thinking so much in fact I had a lot of dreams too. But they weren't the least relevant to what was on my mind though.. I dreamt of a lot of army stuff I have no idea why. Some of the dreams are really really weird, there's the one with LTC Lai popping his head into some room where we were doing some fatigue work as usual and me and my platoon mates courtesy of Mr. Sandman are surprised to see our ever-friendly CO come and "cheer us up"

I can't really remember the rest but I do remember tossing and turning like Ayumi Hamasaki in the MTV "Surreal" But then again,...
1. She's one hell of a babe
2. Her bedsheets were pure white
3. She didn't have any bright condominium lights facing her to piss her off
4. Her room was facing the sea, damnnit!!

I also think that my brain is kinda trying to kill itself.. its thinking about lotsa nonsense 24/7 nonstop. Its driving me crazy and I have no idea how to stop it, maybe with the Palmolive Anti-stress shower foam I guess haha!

Last.. Monday I think or was it? Wednesday? Ok its Monday.. I met my old primary school friend and it turns out he's from ... Pharmacy! Haha so yeah and he knows her too! Well it doesn't really mean I should shout for joy or what anyway but well at least I did find out from him that the workload for Pharmacy is really incredulous! Christ.. its almost like Chemical Engineering's workload.. which is insane by the way. Poor Beng, jia you jia you..

Where was I again, ok I must continue with my lab assignment its bloody due tomorrow and I have no idea how to do the bleddy piece of crap~

Did I mention I got myself a new mini keyboard? It rocks! @!()*&%!@#+_)(_*&!@#
HAhaha and my favourite
the TILDE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just joined friendster.com
Its quite fun penning the testimonials of your friends even though you might not know them very well..
Hmnn.. ok I'm bloody hungry now and I'm shockingly lazy these few days I really really need to get my act together if not I'm gonna continue flunking all my physics tests..

I give up, tripod.com really sucks..
I've jumped onto the bandwagon right now.. that's all for the first post..
