Weekend Galore...

NOC interview was not very good. Nvm.
Went Comex with ZY and EL on friday after lunching with WL and Clarice.
Had this super full tea time buffet at Sakae. Omg. So sinful. Haha.

Saturday was nice. Bought books from borders, I suppose reading is still one of my favourite hobbies. I shall read more. Finally bought 'The Wealth Of Nations', the book that led to the rise of modern economics. Haha.
Went for the GV movie club anniversary event at fort canning park with Na. First time we went for an outdoor movie! It had been raining quite heavily through out the whole day, but luckily it stopped when it was nearing the time. They screened "Make it happen" and "My Sassy Girl (English version)", it is a sneak preview as both films have yet to be released for screening. The other plus thing is that, there were stars! And the occasional bats that fly around.
Watching movie in the outdoor on a starry night (not many stars la, but there are some stars) is romantic and nice. =) Hope you had fun~

Went for the Nike human 10k run today, well I didn't think it was a very well organised run la. But on 2nd thoughts, maybe they have their constraints. The lanes were too small, too much run walk run walk. Haix.

Since there are more and more runs coming up in singapore and singaporeans and residents here are taking up this sport more readily, I think there should be a workshop/seminar/talk on the courtesy of running. Like maybe,
#1. When you want to stop, go to your left most or right most.
#2. Don't stop suddenly, look around to see if there are anyone very close to you.
#3. Don't road hog and run together in a straight line.
#4. Don't blast your mp3 so loud that you cannot hear ppl say, "excuse me."

Had a rather irritating run today. Had to zig zag all the time, and I neared f_ed like 20 people in the ass because they just stopped. Maybe I should learn to not tail gate.

But overall, it was quite okay la. Saw Mao mei! Haha.. Saw Thye Heng too.

Nice weekend. Time for work now! =)

I'm in a position that I don't want to be in.
I know more things than I think I should know.

I find certain practices rather hypocritical, and undemocratic. However, if I really position myself from the view of an outsider, I think I can understand why. However, each has its own good and bad.

Oh well. Haha.

Hand writing?

View Report
Welcome Shawn Xie, here is your handwriting analysis.

Shawn uses judgment to make decisions. He is ruled by his head, not his heart. He is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see him as unemotional. He does have emotions but has no need to express them. He is withdrawn into himself and enjoys being alone.

The circumstances when Shawn does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets him mad enough to tell him off, he will not be sorry about it later. He puts a mark in his mind when someone angers him. He keeps track of these marks and when he hits that last mark he will let them know they have gone too far. He is ruled somewhat by self-interest. All his conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. He is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, he has poise.

Shawn will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. He would rather not be surrounded by people constantly. In a relationship, he will show his love by the things he does rather than by the things he says. Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because he feels his mate should already know. The only exception to this is if he has logically concluded that it is best for his mate to hear him express his love verbally.

Shawn is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to him, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of his sound judgment. He will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. He will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and he will always ask "Is this best for me?"

People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Shawn doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

Shawn will be candid and direct when expressing his opinion. He will tell them what he thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want his opinion, don't ask for it!

Shawn is a cumulative and procedural thinker. He likes to have all the facts before making a decision. He thinks or creates much like a brick mason, stacking fact upon fact. His thought pattern or the conclusion will not be complete until the last fact is in place. Like that brick wall, Shawn learns faster through visual demonstration than through quick verbal instructions. Once he has learned new material, and understood it, he won't forget.

Shawn is a methodical thinker, therefore he is able to build things and come up with new ideas. In an argument, he often loses to rapid thinking people because he is thinking thirty minutes later about what he should have said. These people often are very booksmart, but can be out-gunned in a rapid fire verbal debate.

He may learn new ideas at a slower pace than other "less detailed" people, but once he gets it, he can handle repetition. Some people hate jobs with too much repetition, he can handle it better than most.

Shawn is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. He needs to visualize the end of a project before he starts. he finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said he plans everything he is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Shawn basically feels good about himself. He has a positive self-esteem which contributes to his success. He feels he has the ability to achieve anything he sets his mind to. However, he sets his goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". He has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, he will not take great risks, as they relate to his goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, his self-perception is better than average.

Shawn is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect his ego when he feels hurt. He pokes people harder than he gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.

Something is incomplete in Shawn's life. He feels frustration relating to his physical needs and desires. Somewhere in his life there is some disappointment, non-fulfillment, and interruption. This is very likely to relate to Shawn's sexual needs.

Shawn is very selective when choosing his inner circle of friends. He excludes all but a few from his fellowship. He limits his intimate friends to one or maybe two people. He tends not to trust the masses of people but chooses only a few to trust.

Shawn has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. He lets new people into his circle of friends. He uses his imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people.

Shawn has a very unusual lower zone y loop. If the data input is correct, Shawn's y or g is large and opens up to the left side of the page. This is not a common trait, but the implications are very interesting. As you begin to study handwriting analysis, you will learn any loop indicates imagination. This lower loop indicates the amount of imagination Shawn has regarding sex and physical things. So, his lower zone stroke is large, so his sexual imagination is large and open. Furthermore, because the loop is incomplete and extends to the left, this indicates a particular fascination with certain aspects of sexuality that have not been fulfilled, yet. In a nutshell, Shawn is open to some very new ideas sexually and is willing to try anything once. --> I didnt know this. haha. And contrary to this, I think I'm not so open.

I am still pretty lost.
For many things.

Friday's k session brought in so many thoughts. It is really a time when I pay full attention to the lyrics. I found so many songs that I can find relation to. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why I love singing. Ha

I should learn to void things.

Many many things to do. But I'm so tired to start doing anything.
And school just started. Haix.

And there are some idiots screaming at the carpark near my house. I thought someone got murdered...

Run, Cramps, Queue, Semi fine dining, wine, cake, coffee

Went for AHM today. Took a cab down. Felt quite cheated as I thought I remembered there is supposed to be shuttle bus from all stadiums when I registered. Or was it only for std chartered.

Spending about $19 to go to Padang to put bag and wait for a race isn't very smart and rational.
Padang was damn muddy, before the start, my shoes were already half covered with mud.

As with other races, the start is always the most irritating portion of the race. A rather long walk before we managed to start running. As per my previous half marathon, I cramped at about the 15km mark. I'm really starting to wonder what is wrong. The cramp isn't a normal cramp, its like my muscles cease to function and they will just harden and be so stiff that I cannot move them. A rather torturous 6km of limping and super slow jog.

Queued for the nike race pack, took us 1.5hrs. Some queued for about 3 to 4 hours.

Went Modesto with the gang. Had something different from the previous time. Luke sponsored the wine! Thanks dude. And I got damn red. I dunno why. Haha. After that, we went to Earle's Swensens for an Icecream cake and some coffee.

TIme to sleep! My eyes are closing as I am typing this.

High Tea!

Backdated post! Haha.

Met na for lunch and tea on thursday.
The fish soup is really special. Rather different and unique. Heh.
Finally went Canele, after walking past is so many times.


Bushmen Brew and Berry Black (Or something along that line.)



Strawberry Crepe

Some choco cake (It has a nice name, but it just seems to elude me.)

Saturday, August 23, 2008

Sing sing sing!

Finally released the tension of insufficient singing. Haha.
Someone can sing quite well woah. Haha.

Changed of dinner plans coz of the crazy queue, but dinner was still pretty good! Haha.

Drinking at Giraffe was a rather new experience as well, the drinks are pretty cheap and finally tasted my Irish Coffee, warm liqueur. Hmm, nice..






Irish Coffee

Thanks for the brownies! =)

Friday, August 22, 2008

I guess that's that.

Finally had that fish soup from bugis. Not bad. Really.
Canele was quite nice too. =)

I guess some things changes, while not others.

Persistence is the key to many locked doors...

今天星期一,雨天。

上课时,我一直没法专心。
下课后,和朋友一起吃午饭。聊了蛮久,还蛮开心的。
吃完后我便到书店买课本。队排的好长喔。。。

去剪了头发,感觉还不错。

还有也去跑了步。跑了大概两个小时。
每当我开始想放弃时,我就一直推动自己,不让自己停下来。
就这样跑着跑着,一边听着MP3、一边看风景、就不知不觉跑了一小时五十分。

我喜欢跑步,因为它让我减压、放松。
心情不好时,我会去跑步。

想着想着,如果我能把在跑步时的不屈不挠的精神放在学业上,我的成绩应该会让我骄傲。
可是每当想温习功课或读书时,我都会想很多东西。胡思乱想。
真讨厌。。。

很老实说,叫我用中文来写 blog 等于叫我去杀人。。。

写得好辛苦啊!哈哈!
i'm becoming more and more like the person i hate to become.
maybe it is karma...

I'm easily satisfied. But yet easily annoyed. I've become rather temperamental.
He says I'm crazy and I think I have to agree....

Gotta snap out of it.
NO MORE OF SUCH SHIT, SHAWN XIE KAIWEI!

*slaps.

Exogenous

Exogenous
–adjective
1.
originating from outside; derived externally.


Life sucks. Especially when too many things are exogenous.
So many things are beyond your control. No matter how hard you try to avoid it or try to keep it away from you, it will still come right smack in your face. If you manage to avoid it, it will haunt you another time.

I don't like many things that are happening around me. It's everywhere. Every little thing happening everywhere is pissing me off. Retail therapy didn't work very well.
I need HTHT and air lung session BAD. Looking forward to friday. Air lung and dim sum! =)

It's always a bummer when it comes to affairs of the heart. Many turn to me for a listening ear and some turn to me for advice. But why me? I'm not a love guru. I'm equally lost when it comes to things like this. Love is a 4 letter word that is too complicated for me to fathom. I'm not chasing away ppl who want to talk to me abt anything la. Haha. Don't be mistaken. I'm always glad to lend a listening ear, even part with one of my ear. =)

Tmr I end school at 12. Anyone wants to go out??????????
I think I will be a good boy and come home early. Get a haircut. Its quite bushy as what Clarice said. And I agree, I don't like hair touching/covering my ears. Try to clock 12 to 15km in the evening to prep for sunday's AHM.

Went for RUNNUS today, hate the ups and downs. Seriously. Haha. National University of Stairs and Slopes. =P

Went to Augustin's party just now. Think he is damn cute, as usual. =)

Saturday, August 16, 2008

Fuck.

I've never been so pissed off by a utter stranger.

FUCK YOU.

And if you want to call and tell me off, at least let me have my piece first, don't be a pussy and "kap" the phone. Asshole.

Sorry for the strong language here.

But I hope you DIAF.

Friday, August 15, 2008

New Beginning.

A new beginning.
Back to status quo.

For better or for worse, life goes on even if it sucks.

I'm still comtemplating on what I told you on the train.
See how it goes.

At least all the mist and fog has been cleared. The path may be uncertain, but I'm sure there will be light somehow.

Whatever the case, still in pursuit for my academic excellence.

.. said:
let urself go n have fun!
let loose of urself
dun care abt wat protocols or planning
wana meet up with who then do it

--> Yeah. I should be like this.
Thanks jiemei!
Seriously, I was in a damn sucky mood today. Right from waking up.

Maybe I'm just being anal unnecessarily. But anyways, I did my favourite thing to compensate myself for all the distress. Retail therapy!

Really bought things from head to toe. Haha.

Anyway, thanks Kaimin for ur dim sum treat today! Grats on winning the OCBC award.
Though a tad disappointed we didnt sing K today. I had been like dying to sing, and was excited and looking forward to it.

Nvm, I'm going to sing next week! (I hope)

Went Wala with Shaun, Javin, Jaren and Felicia yesterday.
Finally drank Hoegarden's forbidden fruit. Erm, not exactly damn nice la. But ok lor.
And the band sang -->

Always be my Baby.
David Cook.




We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine

Now you want to be free
So I'm letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die
No!

You'll always be a part of me
I'm a part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

I ain't gonna cry no
And I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave girl
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably you'll be back again
Cause ya know in your heart babe
Our love will never end no

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

I know that you'll be back girl
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder oooohhh
I know that, you'll be right back, babe
Ooooh! baby believe me it's only a matter of time

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my my baby....

You'll always be a part of me (you will always be)
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on (we will linger on....)
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby


....... Really.


So Happy~ haha. My new all time favourite song. =)

After that Shaun, Fel and I went to NYDC for complimentary cheese cake. haha. Its nice to go there and not pay. Had some interesting chat topics. LoL...

Sunday, August 10, 2008

Been looking at the blog/book where thoughts, which are meant to be unseen by others, are being entered into.

A lot of distraught-ed thoughts.
A lot of crazy individual moments.

Thought it didn't feel like myself.
Perhaps I have schizophrenia. Haha.
Maybe not.

I should have a book to write happy thoughts instead.
And have selective amnesia for unhappy ones.

Good morning world!

Saturday, August 09, 2008

Feverish...

What a joke. I've been telling people to drink more water, sleep early, etc.
Now I'm the one with the fever. Haha.

Nvm, time for another panadol popping weekend.

Must start studying, perhaps right about now. =)
No more WoW to distract me.

Hope NDP went well for ya. ^^ Black Knights were pretty stunning.

New sem resolutions
#1. Jump in CAP in the positive Y Axis.
#2. Bring joy to others.
#3. Survive the stand chart full marathon.

Less important resolutions
#1. Being able to run topless and not causing people to faint. haha
#2. Get a bit more tanned. (A frequent member in the resolution list, but it never seem to be realised.)

=)

It is really nice to have a tutor remember you and asking you on how life is. Haha
Thanks Ibu.

Well, I guess I have some traces of bahasa indonesia left in my blood. Haha. Maybe I should start a BI blog too. Waha.

Boring day!

Forensic Heroes 2

Haha.
Chiong-ed finish it! Yay! Really nice show.

Friday, August 08, 2008

I'm quite addicted to Forensic Heroes 2/ 法证先锋 2. Haha
Cannot stop watching! Haha.

Hopefully my canto will pick up subconsciously. Haha.

Wednesday was a great day.
All I can say is that, I really had a great day and I enjoyed myself.
I hope you did too~ =)

寻找快乐。。。

I hate last minute meetings.


Don't ask me why.


Was quite unlucky on Sun, broke my specs as it jumped out of my pocket. So I have to replace the lenses or get a new pair. I chose the latter because I think frame less specs are dangerous and hazardous to my wallet.

Went on an excursion with the jiemei gang, to deliver the cheques to the participants, didnt really receive good reception. 1 particular school particularly made me want to puke.
But island creamery is nice!

Went for the student leader networking session after that and well, it wasn't all that bad. Didn't networked much actually.

Went to my final eye check up at NUH, and for 5mins of consultation, I had to pay 60. Haha. Luckily it is the last one. I am really really broke this month.

Met wl for tea at lot 1 after that, quite nice to suddenly sms someone to ask if they want to meet up impromptu. Haha. Caught up a bit and then I went off to tuition. Haha.

Sunday, August 03, 2008

Random

Went for my first Mambo last week.

Yeah, I never really liked clubbing. I still don't even though I enjoyed myself quite a bit.
I suppose it is the, "forget-all-the-shit-and-let-your-hair-down-dont-care-about-anything-mood" that makes me enjoy it.

On the side note, the dance moves are quite fun. Its quite fun trying to learn what those ppl up on the platform are doing. Hehe

I haven't felt so released in so so so long.

However, I really don't mind going again if the company is right. =)

Saturday, August 02, 2008

Maybe it should have been like this long long ago.

Oh well, but as of now.
I'm happy. I've found several sources of joy, I hope. =)

Anyway, just came back from a National Day Dinner at Khatib. Haha. The food isn't too bad. =)

I can't wait for school to start. For so many reasons. =)
