Complaining..complaining...complaining....Thats all I do all day!

I've got a 8am tutorial later and now im still here..Really going crazy over my irregular sleeping hours. Just last night I was so so tired that i slept from 8+pm to 9 this morning and now im still here. This is crazy!

Its Thursday! I'm suppose to be swim in school, but I can't! I've got to study for econs midterm. 6hrs of break for me to mug on econs. Excellent! If I don't sleep any time soon, I would well be spending that 6hrs sleeping in the library instead. Good Riddance!

Papers for psyc test has already been marked. They are marked by machines anyway. Results are not out yet but the lecturer posted up the mean score which is 74.7 with a standard deviation of 12. Like I said the test was relatively easy thats why the mean score is so high. Its outta 100 by the way. I was hoping to get slightly above mean.lolx..maybe 75-80 range. Well...hopefully..Cuz shit always happen to me!

Well Econs paper is a day nearer now. I've only revised till chapter 2! Alot more to cover of course! Well, it took the lecturer 7 weeks to cover everything on mircoeconomics, so now I've 2 more days to LEARN and revise everything. This is crazy!

2 down...1 more to go!

Its a tiring long day. Had my psychology paper 8am this morning, 100 MCQs in 90min, relatively easy but still quite abit I don't know how to do. Esp on the brain parts and functions, cuz i didn't touch on it at all! lolx!

Japanese paper was real bad. Couldn't really catch what the hell was being said during listening comprehension, one of it was listening to a telephone no. being read out and writing it down, well, the person in the repeated so many times but I still can't get it. damnx! The katakana part was worse, outta 4 Qn, I could do NONE!!! Wada hell!!!!! This is crazy!

So 2 papers down for now, 1 more to go this saturday, which is Econs. Its a 2hr 40MCQs paper. I don't think it would be anything simple requiring 2hr to complete 40MCQs. Something is fishy..

Been studying all week, have not been keeping up with my readings, I've forseen not a very peaceful weekend coming up after Econs paper. Things gotta be done before all the readings stack so high that if it topple over me, I would've dug my own grave.

Sickening....This is INSANE!!

Monday, September 26, 2005

C-R-A-Z-Y crazy thats what I am! I-N-S-A-N-E insane thats what im too!

Crazy! Crazy! Its Crazy! I'm going crazy! Its really making me go crazy! In agony and in distress...I'm going to sleep now.

Ans Ans!!

1. Well..this is simple! Jane and Sue did not play with each other.

2. Kinda tricky for this. notice the Qn, "none of the SURVIVORS was returned to France for burial". Got it?! survivors don't need burial, do they?!

3. Who said it was a key for a lock anyway? It could be a key for the keyboard. You enter a key and there, into the room you go.

4. Hmm..When you took 2 apples, of course you would have 2 apples. Isn't it simple?

There are many other Qn in the textbook but I only posted up 4. I thought these 4 are rathering interesting. Anyway, outta these 4, I only got 1 correct! lolx! Quite dumb rite! So don't be sad if you can't get any, right Kaijun?! hahaz! I told her I would advertise here!!!!!! Anyway, these Qn are just for fun! So it doesn't prove anything if one is able or unable to ans them. Lolx!

A phenomena happened today! After 6 weeks of being a student in school, this evening I took a wrong bus from school!!! I got "HOLLANDED", no thanks to all the trainings SAF provided me as a Recon spec. I was supposed only to take 183 and 189 from the Kent Ridge Terminal to Clementi Mrt Station, so I was with Joanne after Econs lect, heading toward KRT, upon reaching there, bus 151 arrived, so Joanne asked me if 151 will bring us to our destination, Lolx! Then I wasn't thinking much, blurx! said yes and so we boarded the bus! Only after the bus moved did I realised we boarded the wrong bus!

Since we are already on the bus, we hope that it would bring us to somewhere close. Until it reach the very junction, when all hopes are lost, turning left would be clementi mrt, turning right would be dover mrt, both would be good! But the bus went straight! Enroute to Sunset way toward Bukit Timah Plaza, so we got off the 1st bus stop after that fateful junction and walked all the way to clementi mrt, which was 2 bus stops away! hahax! Joanne had a great time walking I supposed.lolx! Well..somehow, she "conned" me into boarding the bus!! hahax!

Met up with dear for dinner at JP, afterwhich went home, slept abit, woke up wanted to study but KX and ZL called, so I went out for a talk cock session and now here I am blogging.

Not going anywhere this weekends, gotta catch up and revise intensively on my Japanese Lang. I think its my weakest module and there is as test coming up next tuesday! Most likely to fail!

As for now, Slumberland is calling for me. Later!

Qn Qn!

Some Questions to set you thinking..Taken out from my Psyc Textbook, a chapter on Thinking, Language and Intelligence. For sure they are not "Qian Bian Wei Da Ti".

1. Jane and Sue played six games of chess, and each of them won four. There were no ties. How was that possible?

2. An airliner from France crashes just off the coast of New Jersey within the teritorial waters of the United States. Although all of the passengers and crew were French citizens, none of the survivors was returned to France for burial. Why not?

3. A man used a key that allowed him tot enter but could not be used to open any locks. What kind of key was it?

5. If there are 3 apples, you took 2 away, how many would you have?

Have fun thinking..

Well now consider this about decision making,

You are told that a disease is expected to kill 600 people but that 2 programs are available that could save some or all of the people.
Program A has a 100% chance of saving 200 people. Program B has a 1/3 chance of saving all 600 people and a 2/3 chance that all 600 people will die.
Which program would you choose?

Now after choosing consider this, if I tell you now that,
Program A will cause 400 people to die. Program B, there will be 1/3 chance no one will die and a 2/3 chance that all 600 people will die.
Now which program would you choose?

3 out of 4 people chose A for the 1st set of choices and 3 out of 4 people chose B for the 2nd set of choices. Notice that the outcome of the 2 set of choices are exactly the same. The only difference is the Qn is framed in terms of potential gains or potential losses. It has been found that people are more conservative when deciding between 2 potential gains thus resulting in the choice of program A in the 1st set of Qn. People are more willing to taking risks when choosing between 2 potential lossess as in B for the 2nd set.

This tendency for decisions to be influenced by how potential outcomes are phrased is called FRAMING. Framing can leads us to making decisions that are not based on a purely appraisal of the facts.

Thats all folks! Answers for the above Questions will be on my next post!!

Later! Lolx!

Fly away!

Meeting Ling for lunch in a while. I'm still awake here! Did some studying just now. Guess I'm suffering from Insomnia, the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus in my brains aint working no more, thats why Melatonin is not released to induce sleepliness. Well..some big words here huh..lolx..just something I gotta memorise for psyc term paper..lolx..Just trying to recall.

Well..Ling is gonna fly away on friday. She is going back to UK to do her Post Grad. Isn't it great? At the age of 21, she got her degree and embarking on her masters, while I just passed 6 weeks of my freshman year! What the hell is happening?! Life is so unfair! lolx!

Protecting the nation while the girls are enjoying life in University? Well..its my turn to "enjoy" life now that some other dumbasses have taken over such an important job. A job of high self-esteem, a rewarding career, but never my cuppa tea! "You don't own what you cannot defend!" Very true indeed..It goes for the Country, our own monetaries, our love ones and the list goes on..But still soldiering is not for me.

I hope I can fly away someday to somewhere far far away! As for now, I can only off to Slumberland and hope that my dreams would fly me to somewhere of no return. Good night peepz!

Are we seeking just a Degree or or we seeking an Education?

6 weeks into University life. This term break came just in time, in time for a lost soul to pick up and collate some of his misplaced thoughts. I've been thinking about reasons of why and what am I doing in University. Most importantly, I've not even decided on what to major in. With a handful of choices on hand, but I do not see myself walking into these line of work after graduation, that leads me back to my 1st Qn, what am I doing here?

I think the worst thing that can happen is to walk into the doors of University without knowing what you actually want to major in. In fact, it simply signifies a lack of vision and a pure failure in planning. But, there is this factor pulling me back, refraining me from making this decision, it is the fear that I would regret, regret that I was too hasty in making the decision, and the most fearful thing about regret is, it usually arrives much later, like a VIP strolling in along the red carpet, when everything else are in place, and it hits you suddenly, slowing engulfing you as a whole and it is already too late to rectify anything.

I think it really depends on 1 very crucial factor. Are we talking about what we will be getting 3-4 year down the road, or are we talking about what have we learnt for the past 3-4 years. In other words, are we really seeking an education or are we just seeking a degree so to speak? At this point of time, if you are asking me, whats the difference anyway, to seek an edu is to seek a deg! My suggestion to you is, better quit school now. Don't deny another person the chance to seek an education.

Is an education all about getting good transcripts, good resumes, good jobs? All of us know thats never the case. But I could not agree less that that is very much the case in our current society. And I feel that is exactly the reason why SG is seeing an increase in the number of Graduates every year but there are also an increasing number who does not know why and for what they are holding their degree of their specialization.

I think having a degree does not necessarily quantify that one is educated, wheras being educated, one need not hold a degree.

Well, pardon my incoherent trail of thoughts, neither do I know what am I writing. I just feeling like writing something. I would seek an education.

Mug mug!

Finally got my big ass down to studying. Was mugging through the night with shawn at a void deck near our place. It was a lot more efficient and no doubt effective as compared to studying at home. I would be either chatting on MSN or sleeping my life away on my bed if I study at home. And of course, being an Nocturnal animal, studying late into the night would be the best for me.

Just read Joel's blog, I think he misses his good old NS days. Lolx! Where he enjoyed bringing the team and myself to bush_wreck through the thick vegetation in the attempt to show his "garangness". His frail attempt to bypass deep water puddles by simply walking through them. I wonder if he is still bush- wrecking around and walking right through water puddles in Canada just to get that kinda KICK! Lolx!

Yawnx! Tired. Going to slumberland.... Waking up early later to continue mugging, hopefully I can wake up by 2pm. Slumberland here I come!!!! ZzzzzzzZzzzzz....

Blogging is a racial and political problem?

**Disclaimer: This entry is purely for reading pleasure and the writer has no intentions to promote any ideas of such that might lead to any misconceptions. The writer has also no intentions to offence anyone from any races and he has no political agenda or whatsoever. The writer wishes to state that he,
1. is not a racist;
2. is not a human rights activist;
3. is not a pro political revolutionary extremist;
and 4. is not ANTI PAP so to speak.

Read from yesterday's news that another guy was charged for writing insensitive racist remarks aganist the malays on his blog. He was the 3rd guy to be charged in the same week. Under the Religious and Racial Harmony Act passed in 1990, anyone charged with such would face a fine of 5000 bucks or an imprisonment of up to 3 years. Its definitely not worth the try in my perspective.

Just last friday, during my SG Society Tutorial, we had a debate on whether Singapore is a Racially Harmonious Society. I am on the proposition during that tutorial but in fact I would beg to differ. Points raised during class and my own opinions are to controversial to be posted up here. I might be the next one to get my ass busted if I do so.

I mused. If one is to blog racial insults against the other races under the law, then if I were to blog insults against people from my same race, would I be apprehended under the same Act? Well, pardon my ignorance, someone by enlighten me.

I was reading another news article a few days back, it spoke of blogging with a political agenda. It raised the controversy of blogging to expression ones' political point of view and blogging to solicite votes.

With our president just swore into office, broadcasted on the same day, at the same time as of the Finals of Project Superstars, viewership couldnt beat that of the superstars. Digression, with the president swore in, general elections are on the way. The talk of the methods of soliciting votes are inevitable amongst parties. No doubt, these parties and nominees are guided under stringent regulations and are scrutinised on their methology, the idea that the blog can be used as a mean to soliciting votes with thought provoking entries that can sway voters is in the loophole of all the regulations. In fact when we look at the picture as a whole, the ones that are really scrutinising the other parties are the PAP themselves.

Bloggin political opinions lie in the grayarea, one can never really define expression of personal opinion and blogging with a politcal motive. The government are thinking of enacting laws to restrictions of blogging politcal opionions, and discussions are going on. But by doing so, wouldn't they government be going back to where they started? They went a long way in making Singapore a more open society.

So in the event that, I just atttended a Rally and was very much motivated by the rally, so I went home and started blogging about the different policies introduced and how much impressed I was, would all these be considered expressing my personal views or would it be thought otherwise. Personally I feel that, the rally you atttended is a PAP one, then it would be a case of expression of personal views, but if its a rally from any oppo. parties then it would b e otherwise. Such naive perceptions of politics you might think I have, but well, thats pretty much how things go about in SG.

To reinterate my point, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that we all have "the right to freedom of opinion and expression" and it also states that "no person has the right to destroy and of these rights and freedom". Singapore is a democratic state and we abide by HumanRights as drafted out by the UN. Contradicting Irony. Of course, nobody is denying our rights, restricted rights I would say.

Interestingly, I am thinking that if the bill enacted against blogging of political opinions is passed, what if a minor failing to know of such act, start blogging politically. In this case, my definition of a minor would be those below the age of 12. If one were to browse through blogs these days, he won't be surprised to see a great deal of primary school kids blogging. Would the minor be apprehended under this act or would it be the fault of the parents who should have known better and taught the child to only blog good about the PAP. Anyway it would be quite senseless to say that a child's blog has got an political agenda unless of course it has been manipulated. Well, there will always be a grayarea so to speak.

Well, the above stated are just speculations of my own, who says they are going to pass the bill anyway. Furthermore, I think Singaporean has got more brains than to believe whatever they read off the blog when it comes to choosing their political leaders. A blog in the academic sense is an unreliable source of infomation. Well, if you are sick, would you consult a doctor or would you browse through the blogs for information for remedies? Your answer proved my point. So whats the point of restriction anymore? Are the PAP too afraid to lose it votes? Are they afraid that 40years of a single party governance too much for the people? Or are they just afraid to lose power so to speak?

Since they law has not been enacted, so this is still a legal entry. I am not brushing my ass against any law here but, if you do not hear from my anymore, then ISD might have got the better of me.

A simple act like blogging has implicated so many unintended consequences in the sociological perspective. What is becoming of this society?

Happy Birthday Beeling

Today is my dear friend Beeling's 21st Birthday. Wishing her a very happy birthday and be happy always! Scaling through troubled waters aint that pleasant an experience recently but I hope that after today, you will scale outta these murky waters smoothly. Embarking unto adulthood, it gives you more strength and confidence in facing problems in life but nevertheless, I wish for you to be happy always. Happy 21st!

We were at JEC Kbox last night to celebrate Beeling's birthday. We as in the folks from S07. We sang from 10pm to 3am. Enjoyed ourselves. Photos are uploaded! Check em out!

Yesterday afternoon, was at Shumin's place for housewarming. She moved from Tampines to Sengkang. Really far from my home, took me a decade or more of travelling time. Have not met up with her since JC days, except for the few phone calls and coincidental meet up in town. Hmm..Shumin is still the same old one I used to know. lolx. She has got long hair now, prettier maybe. Well, maturity and beauty goes hand in hand don't they? Haha! This final year physiotherapy student has got a boyfriend! A stable one? I don't know cuz Shumin will always be the same old Shumin.lolx! Took a few photos with her. Waiting for her to send me before I can upload them.

This is the 1st day of Term break. Have not been really in sync with my books over the weekends. Slacking and Lazing around. Going out etc. And ya, i cut my hair. Now its short like it is in my army days.

I changed my blog song already. This song is "Forever Love" by LeeHom. For those who are getting irritated with my voice, this should be good news.

I'm exfoliating!

Great Wednesday morning! I was doing my SG Society readings before this and I realised the more I read, the drowsier I get, wondering if the readings have a hynotic effect on me or is it vice versa, maybe the readings are getting drowsy too as I read them! Who knows?!

After Saturday's Sentosa trip, I am now exfoliating all over, especially my face and my back! Its peeling damn badly, now I've got a few different shades of tan on my face. Disgusting! Whats worse?! They itch!!! Really itchy! Coming to think about it, its so strange, sat's sun at the beach wasnt that itimidating, it was quite cloudy I would say and it also drizzled quite a few times the entire afternoon. Its probably the Ultra Violet Rays. Well, I don't know, aint no science student no more! Lolx!

I got back my Japanese Quiz from last week's lesson, the one which I studied the wrong chapter. I got 3/10 for my Grammar/Vocab part, 12/30 for my Katakana part(I'm not the lowest in class for both the quiz though.lolx). Horrible results rite?! If this goes on, I would probably fail my Japanese language at the end of the semester. I gotta pull up my STOCKINGS!!! Socks aint high enough I supposed. I think I did pretty ok for this week's quiz though..hopfully.

Out of my 3 Japanese Tutorial, the one I dread going to is my TB class, which is every thursdays, 8-10am. TA class has a vocab/ grammar quiz weekly, TC class we have to memorize conversations and "perform" during class, and for TB class, nothing! No quiz, no performance, we only need to submit a piece of homework from the workbook which is quite a piece of cake up till now.

So why do I dread going for TB classes? I guess its because its at 8am! My brain aint working yet! In TB class, the tutor will go through some of the grammar we learnt and let us practice with each other, then she wants to hear us speak. Well, everytime she calls my name, I would give her a blank look and wonder what the hell is going on. I guess by now, I've been blacklisted by her already. Last week after class, she told me not to read off word for word in the book, I should listen to what she said and repeat after her. See! She knows that I'm in a daze 90% of the time. It doesn't make things better that I'm the only species of the male anatomy in her class.

I think my mood is getting better this week. It has been on the drift for the past 2 weeks. Probably because term break is approaching. Actually not much of a break, after the break are all the mid-term exam, so its as good as a study week. But anyway, its really time to rest, catch up with readings, and think about what the hell am I doing for the past 6weeks. Been wandering motivelessly and meaninglessly for the last 6weeks, I need to pick myself up real soon and set myself in the correct directions so to speak. I gotta change the EPITOME of MY LIFE!!!!!

The year 2005 hasn't been too great a period of time for me, ever since I ORDed especially, ill luck and bad happenings has been befalling on me. Well, I've got the most recent bad news! My psych lect is fr 8-10 every tues, and my Jap lect is fr 10-12 on the same day, in the same LT. So after my term break, there will be a mid-term exam for both modules, and it will be during the 1st lect after term break which is the 27th sep 2005. Psych paper will last 90min followed by a back to back 50min Jap paper! Life is just wonderful, It can't be any better.

I was reading the papers the other day, 2 guys had been charged by the authorities for posting up anti-Islamic thoughts and views on their blogs. Well, We all know that in Singapore, Religion has always been a very sensitive issue and thus the constitution enacted a bill that forbids any kind actions or speech per se that puts down any religions. What I'm trying to say is, you never know who is reading whatever you writing, so its better to write sensibly and be as objective as possible when penning down sensitive issues than to get your ass into some lawsuit unknowingly. Freedom of speech and Liberality doesn't go quite well in our present society, still.

Quoting my Psyc lecturer, "Everyone has a photographic memory, its just that some are without film". I guess I lost my flim along the way somewhere, thats why I've been clicking empty shots. I will upgrade to a Digi Cam and be back with a 1GB SD Card soon!

To hell with school work!

Weekends! I'm going to Sentosa later in the morning with a few of my buds! It has been a while since I last visited the Sun, the Sand and of course The SEA!!! Last time I went there was with FERVO during UNION Camp in July. And also, it has been a while since I really went out to enjoy my weekends, so for this week, screw all readings, screw all assignments and tutorials, I'm going out to have fun.

Well, I guess its time for me to put some of these things now for the moment and go out to get my life back! GET A LIFE, WEI WEN! I'm obviously losing my Life away for no apparent reasons at all!

When I was a young and naive little boy, I always hear people saying that University life is so relax, there is no need to study, skip lectures and tutorial, you will still get by with everything. So much so for all that bullshit! There could only be 3 possibilities that the above assumptions are true.
1stly, That fellow must be genius that he is so damn bloody smart that he can ace every damn thing without even knowing what IVLE was for,
2ndly, That fellow must have never attended University and he is bullshitting,
Lastly, That fellow must have had got by with less than mediocre grades and had probably seen the Dean a far greater number of times than those on Dean's list.
So personally, I feel that I am neither of the 3 currently, but might be the 3rd type of person in the very near future and so as to prevent that from happening, which is what I'm trying very hard to, I'm indeed losing my life away.

So well, there are also many people who say, "you gotta strike a balance between work and play." Balance my ASS! I shall not go into Oppor Cost again but there can never be a balance in my perspective. It all works out to be a matter of which one is more important to you!

I'm seriously losing a lot of steam here. I lost the will to strive, I should say I don't even know what the hell am I striving for. When going to school feels like a burden, something is seriously very wrong with me. Well, next week is the last week before my term break. Maybe things would get better by then.

For now, screw everything, I'm gonna sleep and wake up for a day of FUN later!

One more thing, the current song that is playing on my blog, yes! the one you are listening to or you've already muted it the moment you entered, is sung by me. Well, I've no intentions to change the song anytime soon, at least for now, so if you think it sounds horrible, disgusting or whatsoever, guess what?! I don't give a shit and I don't even care if you give it a shit! So well, either you bear with it, mute it while you're in or bid farewell to my site forever! I couldnt care less!!!!!!!

Passing day.....Passing week...Passing life.....

This week started horribly, every monday for my japanese tutorial there will be a vocab and grammar quiz, so I happily prepared for it and went to class only to found out that I've learnt the wrong chapter. Great! A big fat ZERO for my Quiz! Luckily I did learn my Katakana, so the katakana quiz was not that bad.

Thanks dear, she bought me a spongy laptop case from Popular only @ $5!! So cheap!! And its good! lolx! Her sis and her got me a Pierre Cardin pen for birthday present too. Thanks!

Thanks Joanne, for getting me a belated birthday present! Its a box of Guy Lian Belgium Chocolates. Great!

Well..I am trying to keep up with my readings everyday..but as the days passed by, they seem to be piling up without any signs of subsiding. Am I digesting the infomation too slowly or am I suffering from indigestion so to speak? I diagnosed it to be indigestion, the inability of my brain to process as required.

What is the purpose of all these for all that matters....My life revolves round nothing....in an orbit of emptiness seeking a purpose to living as to Earth's orbiting around the galaxy. If Earth's purpose is to take 365 and a quad day to see all sides of the Sun, then what is my purpose in living this 365 days so to speak.

Am I not slurring nonsense again..

"Let it be known to all that I feel the world has slipped away from me. I have only the world hereafter before me." (Shah, 1988, p.21)

New week ahead!

Embarking on Week 5 now, after week 6 is the mid term break! Great! The only thing I can look forward to now.

Today is Shumin's birthday. Happy 22nd ger! Happiness be with you always!

Picked up quite abit of my readings this weekend, and followed up with my Japanese language also.

Think I somehow lost the drive in me along the way. I wonder where it disappeared to. Don't feel like striving no more. Don't feel like I'M the BEST anymore! I am just myself per se.

Probably I'm NOT the best to begin with anyway...

I quote Stephen King, from The Dreamcatcher, "Same Shit, Different Day"

If life aint bad enough....

Well...Its not as if life is not bad enough, today something great happen. On the 2nd day of the 22nd year of my life, I lost my concession card, in school. So after adding 50bucks into the card yesterday, I lost it today! Good riddance! Did I stepped on shit ya?! So I called up transitlink to report the lost, they informed me that they would refund me the balance in the card as of the moment they block the card, was quite relief when I heard that, just about to think that life is not so bad afterall, the lady over the phone reminded me of the $21 charge for a replacement card, great!

Just got back from my J1 class gathering down at Essential Brew. 14 turned up, not a bad figure I would say for a class of 28, with a few absent with apologies. Great people, Great time, it had been long since we last met up. They got a birthday cake for the semtember babies, which includes me, Desmond and Regina, chocolate cake from Breadtalk, tastes not bad. We are all 22 this year. Hmm, amongst my 3 JC classes, I've attended more gatherings for S19 than the other 2 classes. I infer the correlation that the better the overrall acadamic results of the class, the less cohesive it gets. It is a negative relation. In my perspective, I think its true. Begging to differ anyone? Correlations does not show causation, so I do not know why it is so. Lolx. Psy theory.

I think I going crazy soon. Okie, I should be Maximizing my Utility now, such that the slope of my budget line equals to the Tangent at which the indifference curve cuts the budget line. Lolx. Econs theory of consumer choice.

Lolx..Im crazy....

Leave Me Alone...

Song by Stephanie Sun, "Leave Me Alone", speaks for itself, well, leave me alone.

Excellent performance by kelvin and kelly. No doubt Kelvin won, they are both winners.

Leave me alone for now...........In the doldrums again.....

School day.......

Well..I'm currently cooped up in the central library waiting for my next lesson which starts at 4pm. So here i'm penning whatever nonsense I've in mind just to kill time. Got to few readings to keep up with and a few assignments to be done but I'm all to lazy anyway.

Got to school at 730 this morning, hanging around till 8 for my japanese tutorial, I did not make preparations for the lessons, so half the time i was lost in the dimension of time and space. Whats could be worse? I'm supposed to and up 2 pieces of work, of which i only did one. I've no idea that I gotta do the other piece so I'm supposed to drop it in her mailbox tmr. I gotta learn up my katanana fast, if not im really falling back in jap classes. Hmm..Tmr there is another Jap tutorial, on conversations. Gotta memorize the conversations in the txtbook later which will be "tested" tmr. Jap is turning me crazy...

Supposed to go swimming during my break just now, its thurs remember, its my swimming day. I did not cuz I met huiyin for lunch at genki sushi. I was supposed to treat her actually, but ended up, she footed the bill, she said it is m birthday treat.lolx. Thanks!

12-2 was my Singapore Society tutorials. Had quite a good discussions on some of the sociological issues in Singapore and we brought up quite a few points on National Identity and stuff. Quite a few out spoken people in class that made their fair share of logical views in my perspective. I was one of those out-spoken ones too, but whatever that came out were probably nothing important anyway.

And so 2-4 is my break again. Here Im comfortably seated in the central library laptop charging area. Looking straight out of the window is quite a mesmeric view. This part of the library overlooks the park, with all the trees and benches n tables where you see people mugging at their books. Students can be seen strolling along, probably going off for their next lesson or they could be just like me, with nothing better to do, just that im blogging and they are strolling the park. Is this an epitome of life? Senseless, meaningless, hopfully not.

I think I quoted this before, and now Im quoting it again, " Life is a contradicting irony, its ironically contradicting." But anyway, its probably just my life.

Going for dinner with dear later after lessons, watching superstar tonight at home, do assignments, readings, whateva whateva.....An EPITOME Of My life, my story.

Later.

Happy Birthday to me..

Well, yet another birthday for me, its my 22nd one actually.

So it all happened like this, more than 2 decades ago, on the 1st of September, 1983 to be exact, in the KK hospital; which was then in tekkah, a genius was born. This ingenius genius was named Wei Wen thereafter.

So all my life, right up to college, my birthdays had always been holidays for me. No schools on this particular day because it is Teachers' day, therefore birthdays HAD always been of special significance to me. Notice that i used HAD, well in the Army, birthdays relatively lost its purpose in my perspective. My 21st birthday was spent in the jungle, all thanks to CPT Lincoln Gabriel Larence, my fantastic OC then.

Now, I think my birthday is just another of my life, it just marks that I am actually a year older in that sense. I am wondering if a person lives to say 60yr old and he celebrates his birthday every year, would it be considered tedious or would it be considered a blessing? Well, I dunno.

Coming to think of it, the last time I threw a birthday party was on my 16th birthday. It was a party thrown at home, organised by my secondary school friends. Great party, I broke my bed frame during that party. Lolx! All the guys were stripped and well that included me. lolx! 6 years back.

On my 18th birthday, my college classmates went crazy with eggs and chilli sauce in school. We messed up the toliet completely and was made to wash up the toliet. Courtesy of Subra and Varman. Subra was still dripping blood in the office while Mrs Koh scolding our heads off. Lolx. He cut himself with the chilli sauce bottle which was broken of course. 4 years back.

And so here I'm embarking on my 22nd year of my life, in my freshman year of my undergraduate studies, future seems neither bleek nor bright;how about like a almost fused bulb which gives a dim flickering glow, I wonder how this year would go and of course hopfully its a great one and I would not missed any great opportunities to do anything at all this year.

Wonder why, I can't find any joyous mood this birthday.. Well..Happy birthday to me..

Happy teachers' day to all teachers who had ever taught me before..Of course without the help of any of them, Wei Wen wouldnt be THE Wei Wen today. Thanks!

All the best to the Superstars contestants! I think Kelvin will win..

The song you're listening to is "Happy Birthday from the sesame street" posted up for me by my dear. Thanks dear.

Oh ya, not forgetting, happy birthday to Rencai too! he has the same birthday as me but he is a yr older.

Later...
