I love Robots cos they're nicer than you :)

Well, its 2010!! Happy new year, everyone! We're another year closer to the end of the world, but still, IT'S TIME TO PARTY!!

Haha, but I didn't go out to celebrate the new year. Actually wanted to, but changed my mind when the others wanted to go vivo instead of JP and I couldn't afford the cab fare home. But seriously, everyone is really partying to usher in the new year. The whole stretch of road at Boon Lay shopping centre was cordoned off and there were just tons and TONS of people walking around...without getting afraid of being fined, even thou the place has lots of police going around. O.O Pretty surreal. Ugh, I freaked out when the bus 99 driver bypassed the whole area and missed my stop. I thought he took the wrong route and began to doubt whether I was really taking 99 home D: Anyways, the area was filled with people, stalls (pasar malam!!!), alot of lights, alot of noise (almost gave me a panic attack), and more people. Plus back at home, they were doing another countdown downstairs (omg)...and they were late by 5 seconds. LOL!

So thats how I spent my new year: working (everyone's minds were somewhere else the whole time XD), fighting through the crowds to get home, enduring the noise downstairs (I swear, "I gotta feeling" is totally overplayed) and just watching tv at home (darn, missed the rain fashion show. Think it looks good thou I don't like rain =.=).

Resolutions for the new year?
1. Just be more organised and prepared for class. Could have done better last sem but was overloaded with too many stuff at the entirely wrong time. Yes, preparation and planning are the keywords for the new school year.

2. Should get out more. Thanks to people who invited me to go somewhere before...and still patiently extend their invitations. As I review the year, I realise I have no life-just work, home, and school (plus the occasional movies). I'm really irritating and boring, but I do appreciate those invitations. But I have many reasons you see, with one main reason being the lack of money.

3. This leads to my 3rd and I must say, one of the most important resolutions: SAVE MORE, DAMMIT! I realise my monthly salary is being spent on one thing or another, and I have really no substantial savings to speak of. Tsk, planning is also the keyword in the finance area of my new year. Gotta save more in order to accomplish more!!!

4. Read more. I haven't been reading alot in 2009...I miss the library and I think the library misses me too. But thanks ADELINEEEEEEEEE!!!! Haha, she bought me a Mitch Albom book ("Have a little faith") for my birthday, so I'm gonna get started on it. Read a few pages already, pretty ok so far but its too early to form concrete opinions about it. Still, a big THANK YOU to Adeline! *hugs*

5. Stop procrastinating. Applies to all areas of my life, especially the part about cleaning my room.

6. Seriously, get a new blogskin.

Ok, I think thats all for the list now. Will add more when I think of new stuff :D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phew, can't believe I'm in the new year already. 2009 was quite ok, made new friends, learnt new things and found a job. Not exactly smooth sailing (eg: bought 40kg worth of books at the start of the 1st school year), but it wasn't that bad (at least it was funny, lol). Well I hope 2010 will be a much better year for me, and also for all my friends and family. Its a new year of new experiences, hopes and dreams people!!!

Happy New Year to You!!! :D

Robots are so cool !

Yeah, so Obama got a Nobel Prize.

Not to be a bummer, but SERIOUSLY? He got a freaking prize in such a short while...too short in my opinion. Makes me feel sorry for other candidates who worked all their lives in advocating peace and stuff. *pats shoulders*

But still...CONGRATULATIONS, OBAMA!

Haha, he's totally cool. Check out the Mac, man.

Robots are so cool !

The Gestalt Prayer

I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.
(Fritz Perls, 1969)

Got to know this text through some manga I read, and I LIKE IT :D It's good isn't it? A super big "HAH" to manga haters out there...who said manga is a waste of time?!

...it would be beautiful.

(Argh, wanted to find a decent blogskin before I do a new post. Oh well.)

Hello hello my fans from all around the world (pffft.)
Was feeling super lousy today cos I made a fool of myself by writing a completely naive essay without giving it much thought and had to present it in front of the whole lecture group, and was bombarded by questions that I couldn't answer from the lecturer. Not blaming him thou, I didn't think my essay was acceptable either. Just feel disappointed thats all...

Haha, but I guess Jas saved my day by suddenly calling me and telling me something super funnyyyyy. Thanks for the call man XD Elena should totally hear this after she gets back from her vacation (yeah, some people are just lucky ducks). "What's up with her!?"= SUPERBIG LOL/ HEHEHE =w=

Oh and went to watch Inglourious Basterds...My first M18 movie!!! (ok, technically I'm not 18 yet, but who cares) IT WAS SUPER GOOOOOOOOD. Like everyone should go and watch it. The script was funny and witty (great dialogue, no wonder it took so damn long to write it), the actors were amazing (nice accents...and the Landa bad guy was seriously evil in the flesh), the scenes were shot with alot of skill. And one of the things I learnt from the movie is that Hollywood's make up team is seriously pro. The killing/scalping scenes were freaking explicit. Yeah I know, DUH for a M18 movie. Thank god the whole movie wasn't overdosed with Brad Pitt *cough*Benjamin Button*cough* or it'll be such a turn off. Seriously, do film makers think that we're all fangirls? =/

No gonna drop spoilers here. Just go watch it!! Oh yeah, look out for the scene when the basterds met the Landa bad guy at the theatre and introduced themselves...DAMN FUNNY. Everyone was laughing at that scene...ok, for most of the scenes in the movie. Really, go catch it. Man, I feel like watching it another time myself. Missed the Quentin Tarantino cameo.

Alright now my sore ego feels slightly better. Zzzz, I know you heard this all before, but I'm getting busier lately. Still, I am waiting for the chance (and photos) to write the post on last week's happenings...movie, 2e4 gathering, JUMP performance. All consecutive summore (with work the next morning). Yeah, so I neglected my work to have fun and now I'm reaping the fruit of my laziness this week by working late into the night and looking like crap.

Till then, stay alive.
And go watch Inglourious Basterds.

Robots are so cool !

Hello, I'm pretty pissed now.
Just reformatted my computer AGAIN. FOR THE DUNNO GOD KNOWS HOW MANY TIMES IN JUST A FEW DAMN MONTHS. And I lost my saved websites, have to download all sorts of programs AGAIN...I'm getting too old for this shit =.=

So anyone has some free antivirus software thingy to recommend? Apparently some random virus scanner revealed that I have 38 viruses(?) like spyware and trojan horses lurking around. And I suspect the scanner thing is also some virus in disguise cos it practically spammed the "sign up and buy the antivirus software" message, and changed my desktop pic. What the hell. Lucky my dell is pretty hardy and has survived much worse situations that a stupid reformatting. DX

Well besides that, I'm in the middle of the holidays now...almost ending soon =/ Still have alot of slacking and sleeping to do! D: Sometimes I think time doesn't like me alot, you know.

Oh and I got my summer sem results. Pretty ok, better than the 1st sem grades anyways. Thou I think I could have gotten A for ESL...was pretty consistent until I think I screwed up my research paper. Ah well, I STILL LOVE SUMMER SEMESTER!! 6 week courses are love.

Fall semester will be hell thou...5 courses in a semester! 5 COURSES?! Ok, I was almost dying with 4 (but that includes ESL which is pretty tiresome with all the essays D:), wth am I going to do with 5!? Omg, let me go thru it safe and sound and perhaps slightly alive T.T Seriously kids, study hard so at least you can get waivers from courses. I have to stuff 5 courses in one sem cos I didn't have a diploma/cert. This sucks.

Sometimes I think what would happen if I had continued with JC or started poly. Not that I'm regretting or anything (my mum will kill me), just that its hard to go onto this route which is pretty unconventional, all by myself, and with very very little support from the people around me. Umm, thanks for the encouragement? Still, I'm gonna finish this degree and see how things go. Hope employers wouldn't be so narrow minded to dislike me just because there's a missing cert between my o lvl cert and degree, humph.

Whoa, been a long time since I wrote this much stuff. Don't mind me, I'm just feeling irritated+frustrated=ranting. Of course I don't plan to wallow in this confused state, but it just bothers me for now. This is my blog anyway *shrugs*

You know sometimes when you're in a certain stage of life whereby you feel like jumping off the building everyday you wake up? Or when there are so many things to do that you don't know when to start? Yes, I do realise I've been whining about the immense amount of stuff I have to do. But still, I just like to complain.

Anyways, today I was telling Jas that I'm too 'heaty' these days.

me: Waliao, I'm seriously gonna get some nose bleed soon lo! I've been eating things like durians, cups of milo, chocolate...

Jas: Wah serious? I haven't got nose bleeds before. Eh, but I've been wondering. How does your nose actually bleed?

*In an "EH?!" revelation moment, while we seriously comtemplated the question*

me: Um, I dunno. Then what about mucus? Where does it come from?

Jas: I think mucus is like phlem from your lungs?

me: So nose bleeds would be...

Together: BLOOD FROM YOUR LUNGS?! *looks at each other with shocked expressions*

*************************************************************************************

LOL! I swear! We were laughing at the weird logic in there...SUPER HILARIOUS!! Then when we asked Elena, she said something like "doesn't the blood come out when your blood vessels in the nose burst?". Then the two of us were totally taken aback by the actually logical explanation from someone like Elena. Wah, didn't think she'll make this much sense! So it seems you can't underestimate the bio knowledge from someone who's sickly O.O

But seriously, blood from the lungs?! LOOOOOOOOL!!

Robots are so cool !
