30th April 2006 Sunday

I feel like Avarian. And I quote him - "AB312 (Meaning my Political Economics module) is officially gone case. When I read my readings, I feel it. I know the feeling. Everytime the feeling comes, I do like crap for the exams." How true for my case too. Not to mention that I am still having the constant mood swings and occasionally taking a bite at anyone who stepped on my tail. Sounds hostile? Well, maybe I exaggerated a little. But I really have no mood to talk to anyone and everyone about anything to do with any of the modules. So don't ask me any questions about any of the modules. This applies especially to our Mr ZX if he is reading this. If you don't know anything, it doesn't mean that I know k? I am sorry but it is really kind of irritating to assume that I know everything that you don't know. I don't mind talking about other stuff though. Anything that can take my mind off those irritating modules. I am already beginning to miss the ocassional craps that sort of helped take some of my concentration off Politics and Economics when I go out to study with YM and I, not to mention the one or two games of Lethal Enforcer 3, the basketball game that I have no idea what it is called and Puzzle Fighter during our occasional sprees at the arcade. I guess these would have been more fun without exams but guess I just have to make do in the meantime. Guess I really do sound a bit hostile in this post. Hope I don't scare anyone around here. I still have my normal sweet temperament k? Especially when I am not at home.

Anyway, just to cool the mood around here a little, I will blog about the things that I plan to do after the exams. Tag me if anyone of you want to join k? =p

1) Go to the airport viewing gallery to take photos. I don't usually take photos but I really would love to take some at the airport with some of my friends. Really loved the place and I figured I won't have much chance to visit it after starting work.
2) Chill out at some coffee place with my friends or just chilling out and reading storybooks (Probably a quiet place. Still looking for the ideal place.) Remember? This is one of the five simple pleasures of life that I blogged about some time ago.
3) Eat all those nice stuff in Singapore that I have always heard but have never eaten before. Possible stops include Jalan Kayu prata and Milo Dinosaur/Godzilla, Katong Laksa, Changi Village Nasi Lemak and Outram porridge. This activity is not suitable for those of you who are going on a diet. By default, I think Cathayan and hlmilk are in this list.
4) Going to Johor to eat seafood, watch movie and sing KTV. Planned trip is with YL and gang the weekend after exams.
5) K Box lunch. Just a gentle warning to those who would like to join: I am not a good singer so you had better be able to stand noise if you are going with me.
6) Clear all my books and notes off my table and dumping them into the storeroom. I guess no one would want to join for this activity but it is a must in my list of activities. Can't wait to do that.
7) Try to catch a glimpse of a shooting star. Anyone know where you can see shooting stars easily? Been wanting to catch one since young. Been wanting to see the brilliant blue tail that my friends who saw one described to me. (Also looking for the ideal place to do it)

Haha. Guess I better not plan too much in case I am unable to fulfill them all. Blogging these activities really made me feel better and I hoped it has cooled the mood around here a little. Back to the irritating Political Economics again. Back to being confused by the notes all over again.

(PS: Jia you to all those who are also preparing for this module. Two more days to endure for this module. Jia you to YM who so kindly reminded me that his last paper coincides with my first paper. But then, don't forget, I graduate half a year earlier than you. Jia you to I. Don't sleep and watch TV too much anymore. Must jia you too. Jia you to WL. Bumped into him in JE library today and just got to know that his first paper coincides with my last paper. How coincidental how the start and end of the papers of the people around me coincides huh? Last but not least, Jia you to me. I can do it. Well, don't expect too high of me and I should be able to achieve it. How about just expect a pass for the Political Economics module?)

29th April 2006 Saturday

Still suffering from emotion swings from cooping myself up at home. Think I ought to go out and study tomorrow. But then, Sunday is usually crowded everywhere and that includes whatever library there is so I am still considering. Anyway, those mood swings took a turn for the better for quite some time last night upon receiving a rather unexpected message from Cinder. Was really touched by the message. It feels really warm to receive such messages at times when you are down. Well, at least it kind of boosted me a little. Special thanks to Cinder. Hope today is going to be a better day than yesterday but I seriously doubt so when I am awakened right early in the morning by an alarm clock that someone forgot to switch off. (PS: The alarm clock went right on and on for more than half an hour!!!) What a "good" start to my Saturday. Now you know why I hate being at home.......

我住长江头
君住长江尾
日日思君不见君
共饮长江水
此水几时休
此恨何时已
只愿君心似我心
定不负相思意
~李之仪---<<卜算子>>~

Restless is the word I will always use to describe each and everyday that I am home the whole day. Today isn't an exception. Despite fragging all my quizzes, I doubt I will do well this semester. Been suffering from emotion swings, likely to be the result of the extremely irritating Political Economics module that I am taking. Anything with politics and economics usually drive me mad, not to mention that this module is a combination of both. I am so dead. Sometimes I wonder is it that important to frag my exams. What does it show besides the kind of degree that you will get in the end? And what does the degree do besides getting you through the resume sifting round of job applications? Sometimes I wonder. Don't you?

27th April 2006 Thursday

Was out studying with I again today. Was at Woodlands library this time. Was such a surprise to bump into SY when I reached there in the morning. One thing that I learnt today is different Cafe Galilee branches probably cooked their coffee differently. The cocoa mocha that I had there tastes significantly different from that which I usually have at the Jurong East library branch. With all due respect, I think the Jurong East cocoa mocha tastes nicer. Should have asked I if the Strawberry-Orange smoothie was nice. I hope it didn't taste too bad. Went to Dhoby Chaut's Yoshinoya for dinner at night. I's order got mixed up and her order was delivered to the wrong table. After informing the staff, the staff blatantly went to the table and collected the food that was wrongly dispatched. What was funny was the staff didn't come directly to give us the food but went one big round back to the kitchen before coming back to us with the exact same bowl. Gosh. Anyone with IQ would still have known the food was from another table. Hope the food was really untouched as the staff claimed. Hmm. Guess that is about all for today. Oh btw, the ice cream that I bought at the basement of Plaza Singapura looks really exquisite and nice. Think I ought to try it someday......

24th April 2006 Monday

Restless is still the word for today. The rain didn't help anything except make me more lethargic. But I welcome it all the same. Have always loved the rain. Been doing weird stuff and having mood swings these days. Wonder if this is what they call the final year syndrome. Or maybe it has nothing to do with the final year thingy. Maybe those mood swings are just out of cheeriness from somewhere and utter disgust from elsewhere. Well, shall not elaborate further about it. Oh btw, I find that I actually covered more stuff when I am out studying then when I coop myself at home, contrary to what it was when I was in JC days. And now, I actually preferred not staying at home~ =p

On a sidenote, I was chatting with ZH yesterday and he mentioned about not going for the convocation ceremony. I finally found someone who actually thinks the same way as me. I mean, I know it is a once in a lifetime event and I am probably going to regret giving up the last chance to take photos with some of the people that I am so going to miss in future but, I have never ever felt comfortable at such events. As a result, I am still weighing the decision of going or not. Weird guy I am huh? Well, I suppose so. So don't be too surprised if I just absent myself on that day.

PS: To those who are suffering from my "not-too-normal" self, sorry peeps~

所谓的“对的人” 只不过是在对的时间里出现的人。因此在这错误的时空里，我们将永远都无法找到所谓的对的人。

23rd April 2006 Sunday

I hate it when I have nothing to blog about except what I have been studying which I am sure no one in the right mind will be interested in. I don't even have any feelings to blog down except my extreme disgust with the super heavy load of readings weighing on me. Sometimes I wonder how much help the readings that we cram near the start of the exams is going to give in the exams itself. Somehow I have a feeling that the use is going to be very limited for an open book exam. Somehow I have a feeling that what is going to be useful in our exams have either been learnt somewhere along the course or they are never ever going to be learnt. Seriously I wonder how many new things we can pick up with the cramming of readings near the exams. What do you all think?

22nd April 2006 Saturday

Just finished watching the drama serial on TV. The episode today was kinda sad but nice. Two people died in that show today. Both to save the person that they loved. Well, I guess it is part of the sadness that made it so nice. Sounds sadistic but somehow that is what I have always felt about things. Mentioned it a couple of times in my blog too. So who said that human beings are heartless? There are still people out there who are willing to sacrifice themselves, even knowing full well that it wasn't worth it and they won't get anything back in return. That show sort of got me thinking a little too. Somehow it reminded me of something that I heard somewhere before - "It is never the one who leaves that feels the most pain. It is always the person who is left behind."

19th April 2006 Wednesday

Was out studying with I yesterday. Nothing really eventful occured except the fact that I finally found someone who parallels me in terms of a lousy sense of direction. Well, when two road morons get together, you get a lot of walking around and figuring out which is the right way to get to somewhere. Oh yah, to mention, I finally saw what the new budget terminal looks like. It was empty when we reached and to those who are expecting to see some shops there, there are none from what we saw. There is only the restaurant Han's there. Well, had some embarassing moments when we alighted from the shuttle bus at the budget terminal only to board the same bus again five minutes later. Feel like some kind of a lost child. Haha. Oh yah, to mention, it was so coincidental that I happened to bump into the director of my iCEE project company at the budget terminal too. What a coincidence to bump into someone I know at a place that is practically empty. Was glad that he remembered me though he mistook I to be from the same project group as me. But I guess I should be glad that at least he remembered me. Hmm. Nothing much else to update unless you want to know what I studied. Just kidding.

You Are a Retrospective Soul

The most misunderstood of all the soul signs.Sometimes you even have difficulty seeing yourself as who you are.You are intense and desire perfection in every facet of your life.You're best described as extremely idealistic, hardworking, and a survivor. Great moments of insight and sensitivity come to you easily.But if you aren't careful, you'll ignore these moments and repeat past mistakes.For you, it is difficult to seperate the past from the present.You will suceed once you overcome the disappoinments in life. Souls you are most compatible with: Traveler Soul and Prophet Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

16th April 2006 Sunday

Went to the airport today to study. Well, at least I meant to go there to study. But spent most of my time walking back and fro Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. The airport has really changed a lot since I last went there. The viewing gallery at Terminal 2 (Or is it Terminal 1? I still can't really differentiate the both of them) has finally opened and I kind of liked it there. I kind of missed the days I spent studying at the airport. Well, at least I got to reminisce today. Realized that the airport is not really a good place to study during weekends. Was super crowded. It is okie during weekdays though. Well, at least it was okie about a year ago when I used to go there to study. Anyway, after being chased from one place to the next by the staff of the food court and the Starbucks staff, we decided that the staff there had something against us. Why is it only us who got reminded that we were not allowed to study at Starbucks when there are loads of others around us with their books stacked to the ceiling? I still don't get it. Maybe our faces are marked with the "I am good to bully" sign. I don't know. Well, anyway, after being kicked around for the second or third time, we decided that since we weren't really welcome there, we might as well go somewhere else.

We went to the Esplanade library after that. Like the airport, the library has changed significantly since we last went. At least the cafe changed. It is no longer Cafe Galilee. It has changed to some Singapore art cafe. I still prefer the ambience when Cafe Galilee is still there. The new cafe is painted white and it is so out of place with the rest of the library oak colored settings. And it is kind of glaring in that kind of a setting. Hate it. Didn't do anything at the library. Decided to take a break and felt justified in doing so as I finished the last AA306 seminar at the airport. Was reading some magazines while listening to a girl playing the piano in the practice room in the library. That reminded me of my unfulfilled childhood dream of learning the piano. I really think liked the piano sound even though I know nuts about music. The sky was on the brink of a downpour as it always is when I am at the Esplanade library. Remembered the last time I was there was during my birthday a year or two ago. I still remember I was alone that night and I was listening to the CDs that are put out for listening in the library and staring out of the glass windows into the many tall buildings opposite the library. I kinda liked that kind of feeling. Shall do it some day after my exams.

Separated paths with my friend near dinner time as he went to meet his girlfriend for sushi buffet. He invited me along but I didn't really want a buffet, less being a lightbulb too so I refused. Went to Clementi to have a simple hawker dinner by myself instead. Wasn't too bad a dinner. Was pondering between taking the train home or taking a bus ride that will take thrice the time to reach home. On the account of the nice weather which I find perfect for a long bus ride, I chose the latter. I simply love long bus rides in double deckered air con buses with very little people in it on a rainy weather. For those of you who have yet to try it before, you should try it. It is really nice!

Well, with that, that concludes my day. The nice weather is still continuing as I blog and I hope it hangs out over the next few days. Rain Rain Do Not Go Away~~~~~

14th April 2006 Friday

我开始相信了注定。
相信了世上有无法改变的现实。
相信了没有加牛奶的咖啡也会有人欣赏。
相信了人除了空气也可以呼吸着思念。
相信了星星能串起思念。
相信了向海呐喊的祝福只是无力的呐喊。
相信了季节的意义是让幸福的人更为幸福，孤单的人更为孤单。
相信了在身旁的人要珍惜，离去的人要怀念。
相信了雨水也有轮廓。
相信了我们之间并不是注定。

11th April 2006 Tuesday

Haven't been blogging for quite some time. How do I when I have just been attacked by AA306 presentation, two quizzes that just passed today and AB312 report pending submission and pending presentation next Monday? And even if I get the time to blog, I won't have anything to say unless you all are interested in how I set up my presentation slides, study for my quizzes, etc. I'd probably bore all of you to death. Anyway, me don't really have much things to talk about today but thought I'd just leave a blog to tell all of you that I am still alive around here. More when I finish my AB312 stuff. Oh yah. By the way, I HATE Political Economics!!!

3rd April 2006 Monday

Been really blur this semester. So much so that I don't even know when a lecture has been re-scheduled. For those of you out there who are as blur as me, next Friday is supposed to be Good Friday and hence, the AB312 lecture has been scheduled to Wednesday for next week. Thanks to Cathayanblood for the reminder though he is almost as blur as me when he reminded me as he got the dates wrong too. Haiz. Feels like I am not the only one permanently intoxicated this semester. But me have been perpetually blur like a sotong this semester compared to the preceding semesters. Sigh~ Is it part of the final semester symptom? Or is it just me? By the way, Rainie's "Zuo3 Bian1" is super nice too. Monday blues~~~~
