Friday, September 30, 2005 This week brings to an end the committee recruitment and interviews at Sheares Hall. It might seem suicidal to many but I signed up for 3 committees, in addition to the 2 sports I'm already playing! That means, erm, in all likelihood, I'll vanish from the face of the Earth only to re-emerge in February once the sports competitions are over and the committees end the year's operations.. Right now I'm in: Hockey, Touch Rugby, IT Team, Volunteer Corps, Sheares Productions I was offered the post of Chief Stage Manager for Sheares Productions, which is a very important role for the play. I was hesitant, having initially expected to be made Assistant Stage Manager, which I'd have been able to handle comfortably. However, after consulting with sermyboy, who was CSM last year, I've decided to take up the challenge! Time-consuming and taxing it may be, but such chances probably wouldn't come by again, especially considering my lack of theatre experience. I will definitely do my best and make sure everything is smooth-running! And today saw the last of the mid-term tests. Having 2 of them in a single day is mind-blowing. And while, on hindsight, I could have done much much better had I studied more, slept more and generally focused on studies more, I hope I've done enough to secure a good grade for myself.. Juggling club should give us all honorary memberships, for what I'm juggling here is much more challenging than mere balls! Am feeling bright and breezy for some reason, maybe it's the weekend, maybe it's seing people whom I haven't seen for seeming ages, maybe it's the msn chats with people who are dear to me, whether they realise it or not and whether they feel the same or not, maybe it's the end of midterms, maybe it's the euphoria right after making a major decision, when your brain's trying to convince itself that the choice was right. Gonna reformat my laptop! Which means most of my work is frozen, being inside my thumbdrive now. Here's to a smooth recovery for my dear lappie.. haha.. Thursday, September 29, 2005 I have stopped thinking. There is no longer the time or the luxury to think. Every day is filled with doing and resting and doing some more. Gone are the days when I could play one afternoon of solitaire and really think through the past, the present and the future. It is good in a way, for I become happier without my depressing thoughts. But now I stumble from day to day without a purpose, and at the end of the day, if I have that one minute to stop and ask, "What am I doing all this for?", the answer is, "I don't know." If there is one reason why I don't want to continue staying in Sheares after one year, this is probably it. While it is fun to have fun, life is, sadly, more than just about having fun. Leopards really cannot change their spots. For the past 6 months I have tried to live a life that wasn't mine, and failed at it. Maybe it is more prudent to accept myself for who and what I am rather than try to mould myself, at this age, into who and what I wish I am. Maybe it is better for me to reinforce my strengths rather than try to make up for my weaknesses. Maybe it if futile to struggle against the gradient, better to just follow it down the slope instead. Maybe I'm just tired. Monday, September 12, 2005  TRA LA LA LA, TRA LA LA LE, I CAN'T HEAR ME... I really really like woodstock's blog. If you understand Chinese, it's a must read! He weaves magic with words. Rollback (data management) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In database technologies, a rollback is an operation which returns the database to some previous state. Rollbacks are important for database integrity, because they mean that the database can be restored to a clean copy even after erroneous operations are performed. They are crucial for recovering from database server crashes; by rolling back any transaction which was active at the time of the crash, the database is restored to a consistent state. Saturday, September 10, 2005  Whoever invented digital cameras should be riddled with bullets. The grapes are sour. It's late at night and I've got a maths test tomorrow. It's gonna end up like my C Maths promos. Good sleep is vital the night before any test, especially Maths. How am I going to sleep after that?! Me and my itchy fingers. Should have just stuck to Insaniquarium. At least now I can occupy my mind with someone else, it's Buaya Week! I'm gonna be extra nice to my buaya I think, got lots of excess energy to burn there. Why do I have excess energy? Maybe because I haven't started my programming lab yet, haha. I really want to take a break, take 2 weeks off and hide in a resort, read novels drink orange juice and ogle girls at the pool. I need to change my song collection. Still can't find my Beautiful Life OST CD, where the hell did I leave it? Must remember to do push-ups before going to bed. What for? Well, for whatever lor. If I didn't know better I'd swear I was having a heart attack. They should include this in the medical textbooks, pain in the chest is not necessary the sign of physical distress. This is going on for far too long. Well, I suppose pf will enjoy this tremendously, this is like a direct feed from my brain to my fingers. Do I really want to post this? Heck at worse I lose all my friends, haha. Then I can I think I'm too clever for my own good. All that spare brain power rotting inside my head. So I put it to use by thinking a lot. Usually of the wrong things. If that's how I'm going to squander my brain juice I might as well give it to someone with a better idea of how to use it (like try to take over the world, maybe). Any takers? Friday, September 09, 2005 Just wasted one entire night at this site: http://deathball.net/notpron/ . I deserve to be kicked manZ. Just at the start of the week I promised myself not to waste time playing anymore, and look what I just did.. (So what if I used to play more in a day than I have played so far this week? Objection overruled..) Today is day 2 of recovery from Tuesday, the day I stayed up till a whopping 4am to finish my programming lab. Cannot afford to rest anymore though, unless I want a repeat next Tuesday, ahem. Been talking to a lot of people recently (online lah, but better than not at all) and am pretty happy with myself. Still some people I haven't had the chance to talk to, and still trying to dig up some time to meet them. Gotta keep myself busy, give myself less time to think funny things. I don't have the power of telekinesis, so no point wasting time thinking about it! Either I act or don't act, it's really stupid to sit there and just think about acting. Haha. This goes out to those who are thinking too much as well, I hope you know who you are, if you ain't sure ask me and I'll tell you, haha. Driving test is next Wednesday. Today was quite steady, just some minors with slopes, and silly mistakes like not stopping at stop lines. Just 2 more practices before the real thing, must treasure the time I have behind the wheel! Found out today that to some people, the TV is more important than me. Herr... Win le lor. I'll remember to tell you when I die... The major cause of unhappiness is unfulfilled expectation. Therefore to be happy every day, simple expect nothing from anybody. Then be pleasantly surprised when nice things happen to you. After all, no one really owes you anything. Very messy entry, random stuff all over the place. Must have been influenced by some blogs I just read, haha. Thursday, September 08, 2005 对不起我爱你 - 梁静茹 Monday, September 05, 2005 Personality test courtesy of Milanova, found here ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get to know yourself better Your view on yourself: You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties. The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship. The seriousness of your love: Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates. This is the only part that is way off the mark. Because I don't have plenty of dates. Because I don't make good conversation. Unless you play as many computer games as I do. Haha. Your views on education Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. The right job for you: You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life. How do you view success: Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working. What are you most afraid of: You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel. Who is your true self: You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust. Thursday, September 01, 2005 Beautiful creation from CY, just had to "borrow" it: 23 to remember the beautiful things Don't haul me up to the courts for piracy! :P Have been trying not to think these past few days. Only succeeded in not remembering what I thought about. Work beckons now, and I'm procrastinating. |
