Sometimes I think I can read people. Sometimes I can't. Sometimes I get it wrong. But more often than not, my intuition saves my ass from many unimportant situations that do not concern me.

And this is a load of bullshit you are reading, dear reader. Because I have just reached home at 7+am and spent my time making my sentences readable than being coherent.

-----
ok enough with the bullshit. last few sentences of sanity before I lose it:

- it is highly enjoyable to talk cock till 7+am again like old times

- i feel somewhat bad. but the guilt is apparently not my fault. but i still feel it.

- i. do. not. effing. understand. just what is wrong with the whole wide world. some things are just so common sense but people just don't get it, i discover more and more adult babies (the horror) after the lengthy discussion. it's half annoying, half worrying, half exasperating to watch. wait, that's 3 halves and i don't make sense.

- it's not that i don't compromise. but it's pretty much a great difference in values.

- some people do not make great actors.

- i feel cheated, but thanks for your care and 2/10 (to that certain someone). i do appreciate what you do for me. be very assured the remaining 1/10 for my side will never happen in our lives though.

- bumpy ride, tough times. please take care of yourselves people, no matter what happens.

Argghhhhhhhhhhhhh my GPU midterm is doubly screwed. I was so frustrated with my inability to write out the code even though I KNEW what I needed to do. It's that frustrating to try and grope around blindly, writing out and rubbing off the code over and over on the paper. And in the end, I handed a very sorry looking answer script that was mostly blank (for the coding parts) while emotionally shedding a tear in my heart ;_; please have mercy on me Prof Low.

Suddenly lots of money issues coming up. Desktop broke down, need to pay hp bills, school fees, money for outings, printer no ink etcetc... I can't wait for the year end to come till I can take out the money that I locked away. Underestimated the spending I'm doing this year. =( Shall cut down on my suppers and outings I guess.... anyway, I do believe I'm gaining quite a lot of weight due to this. Kns.

Currently watching K-on right now. Although I'm a sucker for fantasy/romance themes, this one managed to attract my attention and got me to sit down and keep watching it, which is an impressive feat. That and that it was so random and funny. My all time favourite is still Gintama though. Left with around 4 more episodes before I finish the 1st season...

Just finished and submitted 2 assignments due in a few hours' time, and decided to spend some time to relax. Makes me feel happier to chill for awhile in my own room :) It feels good to finally go home normally... like, going home when there is STILL bus service. Haha. What I lack is bubble tea to get into seventh heaven... will try getting it tomorrow? Tmr's going to be awesome: I only have stats lecture, no more lab for modelling, this week's even week so no japanese studies tutorial! More time to do my lab assignment for game dev. (k i sound like a workaholic...)

3am, nights all :)

im playing around with my blogskin. don't know css but after looking through the template code it seems quite ok. will try to fiddle around with it more during december holidays.

shall leave the hideous/freaking huge picture on top. yes i know it does not suit the background at all and it's quite random given that the whole theme was cutesy and this is not, but it was just a random picture I uploaded and tried out. It'll probably stay that way forever till I'm free again to pick up blogskin editing...

um. ok i should get on with studying... gpu midterm tmr. it's open book and i've run out of printer ink to print my notes =/ had to ask my dad to buy one on the way home and i'm just waiting for it now... and i'm really famished

this might be a bit random but when i woke up today and re-read my facebook status (I wrote "some things will always be memories") I was like, what the hell was I doing? So damn emo haha.

Posting for posterity's sake:

My brother in law says that the new spicy macdonald fries are usually only liked by females and males don't like it. how true?!?!?!?!

in my family all the females in the household say that it's really good, while my father on the other hand, after eating a fry said "you don't know i eat original one meh" (I suppose that means a no in a rather indirect way). and yeah, my brother in law doesn't think too highly of it.

only kevin broke the record by saying it's not bad. gah.

but the spicy fries really rocks!!!

back to cramming for my test in a few hours time :)

Sloth, sloth, sloth, is there a sloth-less word in the dictionary? Think not.

Thanks to the guilty pleasure of forsaking the world of incomprehensible knowledge the professors brandish for the period of CNY, I have become woefully inept in doing my work. As of now, the lingering couch potato remains - think of countless hours watching manga, reading forum posts and some model's blog that I've discovered. If put to use fruitfully, I could probably have finished studying for my mid term tests scheduled for the next 3 weeks, finish my current assignments and tutorials, and even finish the ones the profs have set 2 days ago.

And now I pay for such indulgent freedom - by having to go back to school on my free day just to struggle coding for an assignment due this Thursday, and submit enough scope for my part on my GEK module project meeting on Thursday evening.

Guess it's a really lousy entry after my long absence. But hey, it's better than none! And this had better make your day dear reader because you have to survive on it for another long time!

p/s: I'm so going to take a 2 day celebration once I'm done with this bloody programming assignment. -_- It's like cs3241 - in hell mode.

Suddenly just remembered what wei sheng told me before, that he found my blog rather easily. Which led me to recall that Bernard found my blog before but he refused to tell me how he got it too.

And now, I find it stupid that I worried needlessly over how people found my blog because in the first place, it was linked to Eliz's blog lah -_- chey. Even if you google for it also can find lor.

So I'm contemplating whether to set a password to this blog so that I can bitch about people privately so that I can post in freedom.




































So ma fan. Don't want already.

XOXO

CORS suck for all the reasons that do not make it valid yet it irritates me to no end.

Firstly it was the password changing crap, then it was the clash of lecture slots, and the final straw would be that I forgot that round 2A closes at 5pm and only realised it at 5.22pm. Thank god I bidded for at least 1 GEK.

Spent roughly 3-4 hours replanning my modules and checking to see what's OK. And now I can't sleep cuz bidding's gonna open at 9am and it's 7.05am now!!!!!!!!! (though I shall admit to the fact that I took a break and spent the time reading comics)

I guess today's badminton won't be that enjoyable, but at least everyone's still coming which is nice. Anyway I don't think I have that much energy to run for the ball.

I should serioussssssssssssssssssly get down to adjusting back for school.

More randomness: Levelled to 197 this morning at 2am. Figured I can make it to 200 on Friday if I'm punctual for my trainings lol.

Going to Batam tomorrow till school reopens!

Some article on CLEO says that women tend to only blog things when they have nothing to do, that's so not true lor. I could have spent the time reading more comics... erm ok. Not really any better. But the part where it says that women don't have the discipline to maintain a blog is quite true, at least for my case haha.

Back to comic reading,
XOXO

Recess week couldn't have come at a better timing than this, when I'm seriously swamped with deadlines and need to stop going to school everyday. So hooray!!! :D

Guess the most interesting thing that happened for the week was that right after I blogged about the laptop case that I didn't get, my sis called me and told me she was getting one for me right now, and YES IT'S JAPANESE PRINTS TOO! What a totally surprising coincidence! Was so excited, I told her OK straightaway.

Came home and tadah! It was sitting on my table, and it was a perfect fit! *hugs* Really really happy hohoho! That's one wish fulfilled :)

Today's going to be my slack and relax day, gonna pack up my room. It's in dire need of a fix. So toodles everyone, for the NUS peeps: enjoy your break (and study). For the NTU peeps: Not to worry one more week to go :) For the rest: erm... have fun!

Toodles~

Passed by Central Forum this morning and I saw a booth selling laptop cases with Japanese prints!!!!!!!

Was so excited, I ran to buy my Mac breakfast and quickly came back. Found a really pretty print but unfortunately, it didn't fit my laptop and the other designs were not too nice... :'( WHAT A PITY . The seller said she would enquire about other designs for the larger sized cases so that she could bring them the next time. Can't wait!

Whenever I have to go for my maths class at science, it ALWAYS RAINS. And when you are at the other end of school and it's pouring so heavily, you end up having no mood to go. Seriously, it seems like I have no affinity with my science classes...

I think times have changed to the point where clothing that make people look horrible are classified as the most fashionable thing in town.

The day before I went to class, and there was a girl who took off her jacket and revealed some top that only covered the front leaving the back of her bra exposed for all the world to see, complete with the mini hooks and blah.

I think it's a norm for girls to want to show off their figure, but please have some decency, wear a tube underneath, or get a bra that goes with your top. What's the difference between wearing a normal bra with a plunging neckline and this? Hardly none. It just makes you look trashy.

And fuck with SOC printers, take 15mins to process my request to print a document, making me think that I didn't press the correct printer or what. I ended up with 4 copies of the same document busting my quota for this and the next month. I hate printing in COM1.

Ok so Shujun did a boo boo in the middle of the night. She thought she saved her old template in notepad and saved the new one when kaboom! Somehow, the old info was lost when she tabbed back to the notepad window.

I don't effing know how it happened, maybe it was because of the touchpad that screwed up my clicking (you know, when you fingers accidentally brushes over the touchpad). Anyways, I've really lost every data written on it 'cept for those in my head that I could recall. And my wishlist has to be recreated! Arghhhhh!

Kevin says it's cuter. I think so too, but somehow I don't like that little boy at the top. The rest of those mini icons are cute, at least. Right now, I'm too lazy/busy to finish up finding back all the links, so THERE YOU HAVE IT, SHUJUN'S BRAND NEW BLOGSKIN!!!! (due to a blooper)

p/s: Finally viewers can read archived posts :D

21st birthdays are one of the most anticipated and highly celebrated events of one's life. Naturally when those born in 1988, meaning me and my bunch of classmates turn 21 this year, it would mean there's a hell lot of buying and giving to do. And gatherings as well.

Today I attended a dinner gathering with some of my JJC badminton teammates, and Xiao Jun was commenting on how she felt the pinch this year with all the presents she had to buy. Which in the end, led into a debate between her and the other guys on why one should or should not buy presents.

I have to admit, some of the things that the guys said were right. You don't have to force yourself to buy the presents for someone if it would cause you to live in near poverty for a few days. Surely your friend would not want that and would understand your reason for not giving a gift. The thought is supposed to count. If the friend actually criticizes you for not giving one, perhaps he or she is not worth the effort of being given one then.

To be fair, let's look at the other side. Not doing such things may cause others to view you as a miser, or to think that you don't care about the birthday boy/girl. All in all, nobody wishes to have negative views from anyone who doesn't have a complete picture of the situation. Tongues can wag, gossips can fly, although I would comment that friends who would know each other don't mind really, and near strangers would not bother unless they are trying to backstab or spread a negative image of others. But wouldn't you want to do something nice and get a meaningful gift to someone whom you are close to, especially on a 21st birthday?

As a means of ending the above debate, you can just make hand made presents. But I guess some don't have the time, or feel that their skills are inadequate. Well that's why there are gift shops everywhere. *shrugs*

All in all I say, it's just a matter of how one feels about getting the presents. Some don't mind any as long as the person is there to wish them happy birthday, some feel that it's an important part of a birthday, somewhat like tradition. For ME, I wouldn't mind if I had no presents. But OF COURSE I would love receiving one! :D:D:D:D And even more so if it's a present that I WANT! :D:D:D:D::D:D:D:D:D:D:D::D:D (note: advertising coming up soon)

Therefore, I have brilliantly come up with a plan to save everyone from the headache of thinking of what I want for my birthday! This idea came up to me from spending one *toot* *toot* *toot* day trying to think of a nice gift for my dear friend Zhi Yao, trawling through an entire shopping centre and coming out absolutely empty handed. You have to thank him for this, he's a great motivation for this idea of mine. And this is especially essential for my boyfriend HOHOHOHO!!!! *evil laughter in the distance*

Of course he can claim that he has no money and wants to feed me duck rice for my present... CANNNNNNNN. *glint* HOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!!! *more evil laughter in the distance*

Yee Loong was like commenting, why do you want a gift list? The fun is in being surprised with the presents ma. Well true enough, I love surprises, who doesn't? But there are 2 kinds of surprises, one real and one fake. Let me give you an example. Giving my boyfriend red underwear would constitute as a good surprise. Bright red ok, not dull. It's a lovely surprise indeed, one that would give me a really good laugh and fun. On the other hand, if my boyfriend was given a diary for a birthday, hmm yes surprise indeed, but I can't say that I would laugh that much wouldn't I? I might just say, "Oh thanks!". End.

Simply put, I like creativity and innovation in my presents. I wouldn't mind even the cheapest toy, as long as I find it really quirky and funny. But if you are afraid that you might let me down, you can just follow the safer option of choosing from the list. And you probably don't need to complain or fret so much over having to think of what to get.

Actually the list is already up there like, eons ago. Hahahaha. Well I've only updated it with one extra wish, not much. But generally I love figurines to bits, especially the ones that appear in the anime series that I love. What anime series are they, what models I love, I leave it to the people who want to get me a present in future to guess! Maybe that would constitute as a nice surprise :D But I sure won't mind a PS3... HOHOHOHOHO. Ok la joking. It's quite a waste to get PS3 just to try out FF13, bo hua leh.

Some things are better to be left written in a personal diary instead of in a blog.

OK I'LL GO GET A DIARY TMR!!! :D :D :D :D

p/s: It has nothing to do with today, just a sudden thought.

Since I'm waiting for my hair to dry (due to a sudden urge to be very clean), I'm just typing to pass time again.

Today I went to WeiXiang's house for our class gathering. Think almost all the guys were day, you know those regulars like Jie sheng, dylan, blahblahblah. I guess the only person not there that day was Matthew. Wonder how he's coping?

Girls wise, only me, mel, zihua and cha eng came.

Basically everyone just had a very nice steamboat at Weixiang's balcony, chit chatting and everything. The soup was niceeeeeeeeee, and there were tons of meat for those male carnivores. Kevin and Wee Hoe got addicted to some violent brainless zombie killing game (but quite exciting sometimes) introduced by Kok Siang. I just spent my time eating, watching the brainless game and seeing Kevin play mahjong.

Kind of lazy to actually recount everything, but it was nice to see everyone again after so long. The next time we meet might only be during Chinese New Year. Oh yeah, I want to org a mini gathering for an ice cream buffet (the one introduced by Chris). Hopefully we can find a date where everyone is free :D

Kevin intends to get an MC tmr to skip his duty, so I'm looking forward to going out with him! These days we didn't really go out alone for a pretty long time, what with playing maple at home together, outings and duties. My mum has free tickets for The cathay cinema, so maybe we will catch the movie "Yes Man" which everyone described to be hilarious :D And yes I'll drag him everywhere to buy my badly needed colour pens and my diary wheeeeeeeee

All right, I've enough of the boring and incessant talk ( that most girls do) that I've been spewing for the past few posts. With my diary tmr, maybe I wouldn't update it so much like I do now. It's boring to repeat the same things over again ya?

Night guys.

I vaguely recalled a discussion I had with my bf regarding people and their claim of "looks don't come first when choosing a bf/gf". Essentially, I told him it's a whole load of crap, because looks DO matter when you choose one.

If I gave you an ugly person with the world's best personality(is there one?), and a stunningly handsome/beautiful person who is a bastard/bitch, both which you have never met before in your entire life, which would you choose on the first impulse? Go figure.

For a better definition of choose, I mean who would you choose to interact based on your first impulse, not your lifelong partner because relationships tend to spring up from interactions. Only from interacting you would know who you would truely choose, but the first person you would talk to? Now that's the question ;)

Not really in the mood to give a whole load of analysis on my reason... but hopefully this example is explanatory enough. Just felt like blogging that bubble of thought out since it came to my head suddenly.

So who would it be?

Although I'm a free thinker, I always try to avoid the sensitive issue of religion. It just happened that I came across a link to 101 atheist quotes and went to browse it out of interest. There were a few quotes that were funny, but this one was really epic:

I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence. - Doug McLeod

Got me laughing damn hard =D

Me having an ice cream buffet right after reports of the China milk incident happened shows that I need to start touching the newspapers on the dining table more often.
