Phases

there are many phases that we will meet with changes in life, be it coming out from the army, going back to school or starting a new job, we're bound to meet new people in our lives.

it's always the case that when we meet with these phases, we tend to pay more attention to our new surroundings so that we can know the people around better so as to work better and feel more comfortable in it.

different people take different amounts of time to adapt to their new environment, even among new friends, we mingle around to see who we are comfortable with before settling down and shifting our attention back accordingly.

people around us inevitably gets affected by this shift of attention and it gets unhealthy sometimes when we take too long to adapt to the change in our environment. even worse, some gets too indulged in their change environment that they forget to shift their attention back.

everyone encounters this once in a while and as the people around them, sometimes we need to realize that it takes some time for them to adjust back and there's no point feeling affected by it. just sit back and let nature take it's own course.

Creative Emission

got bored, so i kinda did a wallpaper. end product wasn't really what i had in mind, but oh well. haha

Creative Emission:



comments are welcomed if you have any. don't need to be kind. haha.

Injury Magnet

i don't know to put it as injuries are attracted to me, im attracted to injuries or maybe it's a mutual attraction.

with the Singapore Open 2 weeks away, it's only natural that im like really looking forward to training this weekend but through life's twisted joke, i kicked a metal bar that was sticking out of the ground. what are the chances of kicking small metal bar that's sticking out of the ground from a huge field?? i must be running out of luck.

anyway, at first i thought it was just some skin that came out, but as i carried on walking, the pain became more and more intense and soon i realized that a chunk of my skin was dangling from my toe. good thing eileen had first aid and helped me to patch up my toe a bit before i went to a clinic to get it washed and bandaged up properly.

really can't believe this is happening to me. hope the toe heals in time, if not i won't be able to make it for IVP Basketball selection this coming tuesday. argh.

slightly patched up toe.

back from the clinic

showering is going to be a feat for the next few days.

Flaccid

that's how i feel after supper everytime. flaccid. was actually planning to carry on studying for my maths after supper, but when you're flaccid, you can't do anything. and the fact that my room is like mini sauna under the terrible these few days doesn't help.

this is actually the first time since my 'O' levels that i actually stay up to study, usually i study late into the night because i happen to be awake. haha. the most amazing thing is that it's only week 2 (yes, i am actually starting to study already, u can shut your jaws now), i never thought this would be possible. haha.

now that im flaccid, bored and hot (maybe in more ways than 1). i shall introduce a few of the more interesting things that's lying around on my desk. starting from the most common one:

$5 Ben & Jerry's Voucher!! Who wants to go with me? hah

some other drinks apart from the healthy ones (not shown here)

wind up clock from ikea.took me a while to find this kind of clocks.

some little dude i found opening a pack of loackers.

a tit.it moans when u hit it hard.intriguing.ha.

that's pretty much all for now, until i get more interesting stuff. time to get some sleep before i skip my beloved MATHS lecture tomorrow.

Life Is Never A Bed Of Roses

i've always believed that no matter how much stress is being put to your body, as long as you can have your mind over your body, you'll still be able to make it through. i've been using it all the while to get me through all my injuries, stress, problems.

i think now i have reached a limit that i can't use it anymore. because my body is starting to defy my mind no matter how hard i try to overcome the stress that's being put upon my body. i knew something is wrong when i wake up feeling all stiff and to a certain extend, sore and i needa wake up early to get my back warmed up before moving around. the 2 slipped discs are really affecting me and my game. usually i would just ignore the pain and go on but now the pain is actually bothering me.

it seriously sucks.

this is the 2nd week of lectures and im starting to dread wednesdays already. why? because every wednesday, i'd be reacquinted with my arch nemesis - mathematics.

i know some of you might think like "oh, how bad can it be?", but trust me, it's gets very bad for me. as much as i don't wanna give in to maths, i've been failing or doing badly for my maths all my life. ironically, the only time that i did well in my maths was during my 'O' levels.

as the level of maths progressed up the tertiary systems, there were slowly more alphabets than numbers in the questions and that became a real problem. now, apart from the many alphabets that's present, i needa deal with funny symbols. what on earth is maths coming to?? haha.

Click

finally managed to catch Click with xinhui after much postponing and miscommunication because of her tight schedule as our Singapore Girl (air stewardess). we're like supposed to meet for this movie the week it came out lah. haha.

i must say that Click is one of the better comedies that i've seen in a while and it's not just all laughter, but with different elements and emotions. the movie sorta like gave me something to think about and i think i shouldn't elaborate too much in case i become a spoiler for some of you who haven't watched the movie yet.

i hate to admit this, but the last part of the show is a real tear jerker, or at least it almost got me. real touching stuff. makes you think about life. haha.

so much for now. waiting for supper now. argh.

Banter Banter Banter

came back to my room today with like a hell of clutter. guitar and amp (from derek) so that i can practice for our jamming session once again next week, fridge for my drinks and clothes. this is the first time since AFS that i've had so much stuff at the back of my van. hopefully this will be the last time also. can't stand having so much stuff lying in my room in a mess. haha.

guitar. amp. clothes. shoes. bags. argh!!

there are like 2 fridges in my room now lah.

managed to meet up with ah boon, soo lee, christine and lidong for dinner today. it's been ages seems i've seen them and i was really glad that all of them could make it to catch up on stuff. i feel quite bad about only meeting up with them now. it just seems like everytime they try to go out, im the one who's not free.

boon. huiyi. xtine. soolee. me.

i think i've been too busy with my on life these days that i tend to overlook my friends and i think it's about time that i actually direct some time towards them. it's only right to do that. and not to mention that it's about time that i got things back on track again. i've been having too much fun for the past few weeks clubbing and stuff. i don't even feel like im back in school again. haha.

mental note to self:
- start running
- sleep longer
- keep in pace with my lessons
- work out
- catch up with long time friends

that's pretty much for now. im beat.

note to self

stop drinking binge. start running more. sleep more. stay up less.

Lesson Start

after waiting for god knows how long, i've finally started my lessons already! i know this might sound crazy to some of you, but i really enjoy studying once again, although i think i will dread my wednesdays from time to time. Reason?

All these things just seem so alien to me, i was like in a daze when the lecturer was going through all the lecture notes and im faced with the nightmare of doing maths again. But this time round, i must overcome this, i suck at maths for long enough. haha

had a really fun 3 weeks so far with my hall's Orientation Group (OG) and i really think everyone in my OG is damn enthu. We're always the loudest and rowdiest, not to mention that they're all superbly on when it comes to mambo! haha!

less talk, more photos:

jerry and i. we all think he looks like ronald macdonalds. no?

clutter of people!

van and i. she's scary. in more than 1 way.

rag day!

boredom.

and finally. my room. in cable hell.

Post #100!

i couldn't think of any better title to put for this post and i just realized that this the the #100 post on my blog (or well, at least for this version of my blog).

been missing for a few weeks due to the activities in my hall and my life is really in a mess, in a good mess that is. orientation is really really good but the bad thing is that the activities always stretch til like 1 - 2 am everyday. By the time we reach our rooms, we're all dead asleep and it doesn't help that we will wake up early in the morning the next day to have more fun. haha

not that im complaining. :p

will be back with all the photos and stuff once school starts next week and i have more free time.
