Monday, October 30, 2006 Last weekend was spent in a daze.. I was tired and yawning the entire weekend, and took my first afternoon nap in months. Considering I did less last week as compared to previous weeks, it is quite puzzling why I'm so tired. Maybe it's all the late nights and early mornings. Lots of good games are coming out/have come out these few weeks. Medieval 2: Total War, Football Manager 2007, CORE for Hearts of Iron 2: Doomsday.. How's a man to do constructive work? Frisky (my hamster) has been living up to his name over the weekend.. I might have hamsters to give away soon.. Haha.. Now there's so many things to do, so many things to worry about.. serves me right for procrastinating earlier. I guess my priorities were wrong, as well, and I was putting my money on long shots and low returns. Now that I've put everything back into perspective, hopefully things will start picking up and I can get into maximum gear in time for the exams. Hopefully the long shot's doing fine, too, without my distraction. The time might come again, but that doesn't depend on me anymore. Wednesday, October 25, 2006 Yesterday I had a chance to clear quite a lot of my work. Instead I played and slacked.. Now a huge pile of work just landed on me, which will keep me busy for all of today and maybe tomorrow as well. Sianz.. And why should I be making excuses for others, if they can't be bothered to even make excuses for themselves? The benefit of the doubt can only be given for so long, before it ceases to be doubtful. If there's really been a misunderstanding and others cannot be bothered to clear it up with me, then there might as well be no misunderstanding at all. Monday, October 23, 2006 First of all, a very happy birthday to dear cousin Yanxin!! Here's wishing that you'll achieve your dreams and aspirations! Most importantly of all enjoy the year ahead. =) S***net cut off my home internet connection on Friday.. My bro was full of indignation because he just bought Battlefield 2142 and was looking forward to a weekend of playing online. My dad's slightly peeved because we were billed till the 31st of the month. As for me, I spend 6 days a week in hall anyway.. So now me and my bro want to switch to Starhub.. But dad wants to wait till the end of the year because he claims there'll be more freebies then.. -_-" And I don't know whether my parents treat me better because they sense that I'm not happy or because I appreciate them more when I'm not happy. Anyway last week was a crazy one, I slept 2 hours on Wednesday because I was rushing my Prolog assignment, I slept 3 hours on Thursday because I went out overnight, and I slept 4 hours on Friday because the girls kept me awake (the drawback of staying too near the lounge). So the 'rents were looking forward to a shopping trip on Saturday but I was too tired to oblige. We did go out for dinner though.. and a trip to the restaurant reminded me how little they've been to restaurants, they seemed so unsure there. If I can, I ought to bring them out more, and pick up the tab. Saturday, October 21, 2006 Artist: Aqualung Song: Halfway To The Bottom You're either dipping your toe or you're drowning You're either dipping your toe or you're drowning Is it better never to start Than to bear the pain Of having to stop Of having to stop Halfway to the bottom Instantly forgotten I never thought it would come so easy I never thought it would go So quickly Is it safer never to love Than to risk your heart Having to lose Having to lose Halfway to the bottom Instantly forgotten I don't know Which way to go Is it wiser never to speak Than to raise your voice And never be heard never be heard never be heard Friday, October 20, 2006 I haven't laughed so hard for so long. Thanks guys for being there, and for keeping me company, and for putting the smile on my face. And Death Note is a great movie. And I haven't slept the whole night (and only 2 hours the night before), I just wanna blog before the winds blow and the skies turn grey again. Thursday, October 19, 2006 Life is going on. Therefore, so shall I. Wednesday, October 18, 2006 Turns out that mathematics and real life are different. Now I'm in a totally unfamiliar situation, faced with the same program but with wildly different variables, whole new parameters, and I don't quite know what to do. One of JQ's programming time bombs, in real life. And in real life there's no machine code. So it seems that, what's left for me to do is to do what I always do: do what I think is right and hope I pass. And if I don't, well life goes on, right?

That I could sleep and wake up and then replay today all over again. If I had to be stuck in an infinite loop let it be today. Because today I feel like I have everything I want, everything I need, and I'm so happy with my life as it is now. Everything looks like it can only get better. So maybe I'm not out of my wits after all; the realist me says that things wouldn't only get better. So what better day to replay than one where everything is good and looks to get better? Because the next day might not actually be better. And the better things get the more one'll try to hold on to it and therefore the faster it'll all slip away. Now that my thoughts have turned dark maybe it's time to sleep. But before I end let me just mention once again how happy I feel today, how everything tonight has just been right, right and right, and thanks everyone who made today what it is. And may the graph really turn out to be 2^x. Thursday, October 05, 2006 Well, since I'm feeling particularly garrulous today.. I'll bore everyone with what's been going on with me recently. Being a sports captain turns out to be more than looking good and playing well (both of which I already have problems with). It turns out to be even more than all the paperwork, planning, and preparation. The part I really don't get, is the captain part. The motivating-and-leading-and-earning-respect part. The promote-team-spirit-and-camaraderie-and-maintain-high-morale part. It doesn't help that I'm a serious, always-worried mouse of a guy with no seh whatsoever. But I'll keep trying, and hopefully I'll get it right soon.. Buaya week this year was.. like that lor. No photos to show because this year I got quite a lot of food that I gobbled up right away. =P I also got a pack of baby wipes that I'm at a loss over. It was fun, but no longer special. At least, not for me. In fact, sometimes it was almost a chore, competing with a hundred and one other things for my attention and time. The mid term break was anything but a break.. My days were packed and I didn't really get any rest. So.. pretty much forgettable also. The greatest news will probably be my 2 new darlings.. They've moved in for only less than 2 weeks but already they've brought a lot of joy into my life. Especially now that my neighbours are getting busy with hall activities and work (as I am), they are the ones mainly giving me sunshine. My 2 darlings. They like to run the wheel together. Oh yah, they're called Frisky and.. Mee Siam. Erm, Mee Siam is only temporary I suppose, but if I can't think of any name better it's gonna stick by default. I've been giving out quite some sunshine myself also. I'm not good at making others smile or laugh but I try lor. Trying to melt a block of ice.. and hoping to get more than just a puddle at the end of it. Sometimes I wonder.. but I'll see it through regardless. So now I have a midterm today, one tomorrow and one on Saturday, and I've done negligible study.. So it's enough blogging for now. |
