"Wah, hungry liao! You eat yourself, we eat ourself, can?"
Hannibals in action.

Craziness no more?

I quoted this from Edgar's blog:
"I guess a 21st birthday is a point of inflexion where the lines are redrawn and I'd better be ready to gear towards that day. I need to be more responsible and be more careful. Days of recklessness no more!"

After reading his blog, it sets me thinking...

Having done stupid and crazy things and also being reckless in certain aspects over the past 20 years of my life.. Is it time yet for me to shake off those crazy and mad past and embark on a brand new journey where i am able to think clearly and act decisively and yet do the right thing all the time.

Where was that confidence that had once lived inside me, where has it gone now?
I cant even speak up properly in class now...

I am scared. Really, i mean scared...
Guess things hit me alot harder than i expected it to be.

First MAJOR decision that i will be making and a risk that i think is worth taking is the application to a transfer of course to FASS majoring in Economics from my Current Mech Eng when the transfer window opens...

Something funnie i found on youtube

Enjoy

Waffle

Was clearing my phone for pics, i found this pic of the waffle me and sheena had quite awhile ago...

A nice by the roadside waffle/icecream cafe in Sin Ming...
Cozy environment with the only turn offs being the stained white sofas...

Breathless...

After being lazy for so so so so long, i finally dragged my lazy wormy body up and went running. So the first thing i did was a 2.4km run at YCK Stadium today.

After the whole thing, it felt like i just completed an AHM.

Course

BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering.

It seems so far away. With my WTF level of foundation.

Thinking of changing course.

The RULES of life.

Seriously, after finally completing the book... I feel that i have learnt quite a bit about life and the way to live it as best as i can...

The 100 rules inside tells u how to behave and react to people whereby it will salvage even the worst situations...

It also tells u how to handle ur relationships with people be it being a good parent, a good fren etc.. how to be a better person in life...

Although u dont have to follow the rules exactly, it setted me thinking about what i have done so far in life and realised that i havent been the nicest i could have been and i have more to work on...

Seriously a good book which i would recommend all of u to read...
And yes, i DONT get any commission if u all buy the book...

Who to hang out with...

Who should u hang out with in order to be successful in ur life...

"People whom you :
Feel enthusiastic about seeing them.
Make U rise to every challenge.
Make u laugh and smile and feel great about yourself.
Support u and nuture u and encourage u.
Stimulate u with new ideas, new concepts and new directions.

Or people whom you:
Feel depressed after u have seen them.
Make u feel angry, dejected or critisized.
Squash ur ideas and pour cold water on ur plans.
Dont take u seriously.
Dont make u feel as if u can achieve anything. "


These are quoted from 'The RULES of Life' by richard templar RULE no. 85

Drive.

It sucks to have a license but u dun have a car to drive.

Thought of e ntuc carcoop thingy. but after checking the site, i need to be 23 yrs old to join their P-plate plan.

WHy 23?

Quoted:

Why is the minimum age to become a member 23 years, and not 18 years?
Our 9-year experience managing the carsharing scheme shows that members who are aged 23 and above are likely to have less accidents.

Too many accidents affect the quality of service to other members and also result in higher operating costs that will be borne by the innocent members if left unchecked.

Oh well. hopes dashed.

Jay's New song...

Jay's New song Qian Li Zhi Wai featuring Fei Yu Qing



Seriously i think Fei Yu Qing's Vocal Power realli makes this song damn nice =)

Crave...

I have a sudden craving for BBQ Stingray...
Hmmm... MmMmmmMmmmmm

Weee...

Hurray, its the term break... Finally a period where i dun have to wake up at 5ams on thurs and fri and no need to do tutorials until 1 2 am at nite...

Yep.. i think i really deserve a break before i embark on my journey of mugging for my mid term tests... So i shall not do anything tonite besides filing up my notes and clearing other stuff before my room gets raided by my mum..

So, lets see... I had a pretty good day today.. i went to the Singapore Buddhist Lodge with Na to her bursury presentation ceremony... Well, its pretty cool coz although it is a buddhist and a chinese based organisation, they are also giving out bursuries to students of other races and religion... Not just limiting them to buddhists. The sacred occasion which is held annually, was graced by Dr Balaji Sadasivan the Senior Minister Of State for Ministry of Foreign Affairs &Ministery of Information, Communication and The Arts..

One thing tt amuses me is that, throughout the whole event, they had to address him or speak of him for like 15 to 20 times. For which EVERY time they have to say: Let us now invite our Guest of honor , Dr Balaji Sadasivan the Senior Minister Of State for Ministry of Foreign Affairs &Ministery of Information, Communication and The Arts to present the bursuries to the students... So ya i had to hear his name and title for like so many times tt i also remember it now... hmm.. i think its too much red tape.

Oh well, anyway the place did serve good vegetarian food =)... and my dear monster is so disappointed because she didnt get to eat the small small 'Peng Kueh' and the donut served there... haha... =p.

After which we left and she went for work and i went to meet mummy, aunty liling and my grandma for dinner at Lot1. First time i been there, yep.. i m not kidding, and well, there wasnt much as well. so i guess its alright. =)...

ANd now i am home blogging about my day.. while munching on an apple...
*munch*

Finally... i came up with the damn formula to do the Programming Lab...
Although my program works well, i think the way i do it is pretty unconventional... i wonder if it is acceptable.
im drained..
yes the weekend is coming, i can finally rest abit after the past rush week...
haix...


//I am just stoning... ignore me...
#include (stdio.h) <-- just pretend the brackets are the <> ones. coz i can put them here

int main()

{
int k;

printf("Please enter ur level of energy from 1 to 5, 1 being the lowest level and 5 the highest\n");
scanf("%i" ,&k);

switch(k)
{
case 1 :
printf("Go and sleep!!");break;
case 2 :
printf("I think u should sleep soon!!");break;
case 3 :
printf("Hang in there...");break;
case 4 :
printf("hmmmmmmm, u sure u didnt just wake up??");break;
case 5 :
printf("Hyper sia..");break;
}
printf("What ever ur case is, Kai still needs to sleep");

return 0;
}

THrowning of Smoke Grenade

Well, i had to do that for my Nation Building Test today... so hopefully i managed to smoke the correct stuff and chase the mozzie away instead of smoking myself to death...

I cant do my programming lab/tut.

Die.

10 hour physics lab..

I just did a 10 hour physics lab, tts inclusive of the lab report...
this is crazy... e lab was suppose to be 3 hrs... den we couldnt finish n the lab had to close, so we rushed and i did wrongly and submitted the totally wrong report up... so i re did my report... i wonder if they will accept the change in report..

I am so so so so so so so so so x 10^infinity DEAD for my Nation Building test tomorrow....

HAIX

Somebody shoot me...

work work

-
I am lagging so much in my work... so many things coming in, but nothing registered in my brain.. hmm.. looks like its time for..

-Operation Muggeration-

Things to do??

ACtualli, i have alot of things that i need to do... Tutorials, study for the upcoming EG1109 Quiz, Read up the readings for Nation BUilding and prepare for the coming Nation BUilding test as well... But i just have no mood to do anything.... I just wanna relac 1 corner and stone there....

This is a bad sign...
*Picks up pen n paper and tries to attempt more EG1109 questions...*

Beaching...

Yep, as the title suggests, i went to the beach today with deerdeer.... And it has been EONS since we went to the beach at ECP. Actually it has been EONs since we been to any beach... It feels really nice to have some sun and sea on a saturday especially when u do tutorials everynite and nerd my way through the week... We didnt cycle like what we ususally do, but instead we just walked along the beach and sat down on one of the breakwater to 'chill' out.. Erm to bake ourselves i mean.. Its feels really nice to be back there once again... Looking forward to more beach trips...

Yeah, and also i have been promising myself to friggin go learn how to blade den i can go there and blade, but then i haven done it.. ya so... i must work towards it.. maybe after sem, ill go for some extensive blading lesson... =)

After going to the beach, we had our weekly dose of cafe-ing at mac cafe this time n we just shared a cuppa tea... after that we went down to plaza singapura to meet her sis n her bf to watch Monster House together... I duno if i was tired or what, but i didnt find the show very scary nor exciting... but it was a nice show on a whole...

After the show, we went to Chong Pang Nasi Lemak for supper... well, i must say the Nasi Lemak is nice... and its worth taking the train to Sembawang to take 980 down to the place.. And yea, i 'ta bao' back for mama as well...Yep, so when i get a chance to drive, ill find out how to go there and can bring my family down to eat coz 'ta bao' back dont taste as nice...

Earphones...

Hmm, just noticed this on my way home today...
I was on the bus going out of campus at about 4pm...
Coz there were many people going home, so i had to stand.. since i had nothing better to do, i decided to look around to see if i could see any familar faces on the bus i was on... but nope.. no familar faces... but what i did notice was many familar earphones...

what more interesting is that, the guys all standing beside me in a straight line were all wearing the same earphones as me. the Ipod earphones... and with that, i looked around the bus for more ppl using the same earphones and realised that, many of those sitted are also using the ipod earphones... there are like a total of about 15 ipod earphones on the bus...

So it occured to me that, ipod is thus the uberest leader of the mp3 player industry...

And ya. i am still damn tired.. next time no more sleeping at 1am when i have to wake up at 5am... coz i'll just sleep in all the lectures which is freaking damn irritating coz i already dun understand shit, and with the constant nodding off, i think at most 5% of what the lecturer said got into my head...

Hmm, why is it the examples in given in the lectures so simple & the tutorials so damn difficult?? i freaking cannot even do 1 qn for the eg1109 tut lor.. haix... die la... =/ hope the quiz next sat wont be like the tut lor..

Tired...

After 1 month of studying in NUS, i am starting to feel the tiredness seeping in slowly.. Every night sleeping past 1am doing the never ending tutorials
(and some of them even if i stare at them for 2 years i think i also cannot solve..)... hmm... i wonder how long i can last... or will i soon grow to adapt to this sort of life?? i am so tired, i can even dun play WoW... i dun even feel the urge to play WoW... unlike the past when i can freaking wow until 3am etc... now, i just have enuff energy to do my tutorials n wake up the next morning and go to school... =/

whats worse is thursday and friday's 8am lectures... it just sucks balls having to wake up at 5am for 2 days in a row and sleeping at abt 1am the nite b4... Before starting school, i used to sleep like at least 8hrs a day, sometimes even 12.. but now?? i sleep a grand total of 8hours in 2days.. Ok, i think i have complained and whined enough, so i shall go back to do my tutorials... =)

Ponder?

Hmm, i read this quote in Funkygrads.

"Everybody loves you when they are about to cum"

How true?

Coincidence

Talking about coincidence, i keep bumping into John Chow... and all at different places...

26th Aug, Outside PS,
3rd Sept, AMK central NTUC,
6th Sept, YCK Mrt Station.

Haha... man, this is so qiao lor... cant believe it...

C Programming

This is 1 of my answers to a tutoral question... yup, just to let those who duno anything bout programming know what im going thru haha...

Cherish what u have...

Many people take the things they have with them at the moment for granted... thats inclusive of me.. i have lost too many things due to complacency, e lack of commitment and the surge of power and authority already... i cannot afford to lose anymore of those things precious to me...

Sometimes when things are the same for a long time, it may just be the surface of the thing, but if u actually peek inside u will find that it is not as simple as it seems... You never know how important something or someone is to u until u lose it or u are on the verge of losing it...

For those of u who read my blog, take my heed... cherish those things/people around you... take time and re-establish links with them.. ensure that they are not just a passerby in ur life now...

Crocodile Hunter Dies...

Oh man, Steve Irwins died due to a freak accident while filming a sting ray documentary... apparently the hunter dies when the stingray stung Steve in the chest...

This is sad... his show is pretty interesting and kids around the world would be sad... =(..
