Stewie's 2 Girls 1 Cup Reaction

this is hilarious, stewie's (from family guy) reaction to the viral video "2 Girls 1 Cup" video that's been around for quite a while:

haven't seen 2 Girls 1 Cup before? just google "2 Girls 1 Cup" video and you'll find it, im not posting the link in this post because i don't want to be responsible for the scarring of your mind. so if you actually googled it, you did it on your own accord. haha :p

28..

.. is not my age. sorry to disappoint you people, but im much younger than that. haha.

anyway, that's the number of hours that i was awake for from friday to saturday and it left me barely alive after that. even fell into a slight fever in the middle of the night and left me half dead when i was at training today.

night cycling on friday night was fun as of every year and we did crazy stuff to one another as usual (actually just to joanna and tim at times), how many times in a year can we act like we're fighting with each other at glutton bay and hang someone upside down over the railing of the singapore river.

this year's route was much better than last year, more straight roads, less uphills and longer eating times. really makes it relaxing that the "training" route that we had last year which made our legs feel like jelly by daybreak.

i left east coast straight after we reached the destination (east coast, duh.) and headed straight to seng kang for SMU's Ultimate competition, Grab Huck Score. this is also the event that chalked up the number of hours of me not sleeping. i had half a mind to let the competition slip because i was too tired and i pretty much had to play 95% of the points. but looking at how much effort everyone was putting in, i thought we'll just go all the way.

had to play the other NUS team in the quaters, we lost but the other NUS team went on to win the whole competition, which was still good although i didn't get to play in the finals (or rather, a good thing that i didn't play, i can't imagine the state that i'll be in if i played). i've got a very good feeling about the whole NUS Ultimate this year, people are enthu and hardworking, we've got quite a potential team this year. hopefully it'll turn out well.

Hotel 626

my friend just showed me this site that's pretty interesting, apparently it's a viral marketing site for Doritos. take a look at the link here:

oh, forgot to mention that you can't access the site from 6am to 6pm.

Real Early Post

it's insane that i'm still awake right now, this is my 3rd night in a row that im sleeping after 4pm and it's totally not helping that i've stuff to do at night till late. someone asked if i was busy with work. well, i AM busy with work, just not school work and it's really worrying. i really have to stop playing DOTA after clearing all my hall stuff and actually do some school work. it's about time to start revising my work.

on another note, was at sentosa for a beach tourney over the weekend and it was pretty tiring, came back with a semi-swollen ankle (old injury), a graze, cut on my back and pretty pissed off. pissed off at the fact that the filippinos that we played against in the tournaments were so much faster than me. haha. i'm not pissed off at them but myself, seems like im still not as fast as i want to be, it's giving me more motivation to run more. it's always a joy to play with the filippinos in any Ultimate Frisbee tournament, they're all really fun and friendly people.

pretty glad that i played in the tournament with an "all-star" team, it's rare to play with experienced players from different clubs and countries in one team. and i really have to thank jason for showing me how it is to be playing with heart, something that i've think that i've lost over the years and perhaps to a certain amount of laziness as i become more seasoned. reminded myself of the days when i just started playing, i made up whatever i was lacking in skill with heart and just played really hard. i haven't been able to do that in recent years and it felt good to be doing it again. now to make sure that it stays that way.

will leave this post with a photo montage of the singapore flyer that i made for a part of my assignment:

Gripe Post

sometimes i just really think that im asking for it. woke up this morning and had quite a bad case of diarrhea. in the evening, after i had finished a pickup game of ultimate in school and ready to leave for wala with the rest of the guys, i suddenly felt like puking (and stomach still feeling queasy). got to wala, ordered a beer anyway, didn't finish it and i actually met up with the guys from hall at wine bar where it was freaking cold and i couldn't resist drinking (as usual). halfway through, i started feeling feverish and achy, i had this coming the moment i was at wala but i still went on to do what i did and im suffering the consequences now. aching and feverish.

it sucks when your body is not exactly fully intact and you get the body aches, because all of your injuries will start hurting and frankly speaking, there's not a lot of parts of my body that are still out of harm's way. haha.

medicine. sleep. hope i can study properly tmr. roar.

What the Duck

stumbled upon this very cute comic strip a while ago called "What The Duck":

yes, it's a geek photography comic, sue me. for more, click on the image or go to http://www.whattheduck.net

Need To Buy

i need to buy something very urgently.

can anyone of you sell me some if you have some to spare??

i need more time, anyone can sell me theirs? leftovers also can. i really don't mind even if it's second hand. hah. i just realized how short of time i am for the sem already. i've like a shitload of backlog assignments and on top of that i still have trainings, band pracs and everything.

if there was a panic button somewhere in my room, i would be frantically pressing it right now. mashing the button til it's broken. argh.

i n e e d m o r e t i m e. . . .

time to reprioritize all my things. studies and assignments will have to come first. yes guys, not even ultimate is going to get in the way... at least for the next 2 weeks, after im done with my mid-terms, i'll be back to my nonsense again.

but oh well, that's another trouble for another time.

Photo Frenzy

Alone Time

some point in time when i was younger, my mum pointed out that im way too independent, to a point that i probably won't be homesick even if i was away from home for a few years. i wouldn't say that she's wrong.

was telling val online yesterday that it was the first time in 3 weeks that i actually came back from hall and my sis and mum had been talking to me at every chance they can get, not asking me about what im doing in school, but just updating me about themselves. val said that if her sibling goes away for a few weeks, she would catch up alot with her when she gets back. i guess they must really miss me. haha.

somehow at night when my sister started talking and showing me stuff, i started to get a little restless but at the same time, i didn't want to disrespect her and go on with my own stuff so i still stayed on to listen and watch whatever she wanted to show me.

i realized that after 3 hectic weeks in hall of playing IBG, running DnD, thinking up proposals and rushing school work, all i was looking for when i got home was to have a little bit of quality "alone time". i needed some time alone to get away from all the work and just let my mind cool down a little.

this sem already seem very hectic, although it's only week 4. hope things will get better soon.

Not Good Enough

not good enough.
just simply not good enough.

i know the weekend's and the tournament's over, no point brooding over it, but i just can't help it. there were a lot of what ifs in my mind after the last game on sunday. what if we were more calm, what if we were better drilled than we were over the weekend, what if nobody was bothered by the pressure.

i wish i could have done more, or rather, i know i could have done more, if i was as fit as i was back then, if i wasn't injury laden, if i tried pushing my body to work harder.

would there be a difference if these were more than just simply "what ifs"? i don't know and i'll probably never know since it's over now.

5 yrs into building this team and i really thought we were going to have what it takes to get a result finally, i really wanted it damn badly, but i guess things don't always go your way. that's how life is, you just have learn how to deal with it.

im trying to deal with it now, it's just that i can't swallow this harsh reality fully right now. it's a result that's unbelievable even to bystanders looking at us.

it's time to regroup, get back to peak fitness and time to push this body to new limits.

guys, a year's a long time to make a difference.
less thinking, get to work.
i know i will, what about you?

Trigger Happy

finally found some motivation to set up a photo blog! actually it's more like im required to do it for one of my modules.

here's the link:

Random Thought

was reading some stuff online and this suddenly hit me, when you lose yourself at some point of time in life, it's really hard to get back to what you were, or at least you won't be able to be the same you again.

im still looking for myself, or rather, what i can become. it's easy to just live the way i am right now, simple but not fulfilling and knowing myself, a flawed perfectionist (i'll touch on that some other time), i wouldn't be able to stand this for long before i feel empty everyday.

i can feel that there are things inside me that are already lost through a series of events. i have lost drive and interest in certain things that were initially very important to me. it's really hard to try to get a similar feeling back but i guess i should carry on trying.

is this random or what? =/

Obnoxious

it's been a hectic 2 weeks since i last posted an entry here. orientation, bash, dinner and dance took up way too much of my time (and my sleep).

so much has happened when im back in camp and back in school that i feel that im becoming more and more "in-your-face" when it comes to addressing problems in work that i think people are thinking that im very obnoxious although they don't say or show it infront of me.

i used to hate confrontations, it blows everything out of proportion and leaves an unpleasant taste in everyone's mouth. i'd just try to be nice to everyone and try to settle everything peacefully, even if people think that im just trying to make everyone happy.

but i guess things change over time when i realize that people don't realize that im just trying to resolve things peacefully and in turn tries to screw me over (and some of them succeed in the process). then i thought to myself, "im doing this out of good-will and you're trying to screw me over", at the end of the day, everyone is happy except for me, so i started standing up for what i thought was right, even if it meant being extremely blatant.

i guess it worked, ticking people off in the process. now when i start talking seriously, at least people know that i actually mean business and they actually would try to make more effort to listen to me. the only drawback, people are afraid to let me settle some problems that are pertaining to members of a working group for the fact that they're afraid that the person might kill himself after having the cold hard truth smashed into his face.

i'll always try to be nice before i'll go into my "asshole" mode, im not THAT obnoxious. and no, i am not like this normally, im only like this when im working on serious things. i wonder where all this angst is coming from. im complaining way too much these days about things, i have a feeling the guys are going to getting irritated with me soon, better find some other channels to let it out.

ps: i can't believe they're calling me 老良. i don't look that old do i?

Faith

it's been a very long time since i've felt so genuinely disappointed about something and today i felt this dreaded feeling once again. it was pretty bad i guess, to the extend that i didn't really feel like going for the team dinner (sorry guys) and stayed in hall to help out with the orientation instead.

i asked myself why i was feeling so disappointed: was it the fact that i expected too much of my teammates that when they under perform, i'll feel that it's not enough? or the fact that i have too much faith in them and when we don't do well, i feel like we're selling ourselves short in the game?

came to a conclusion that it's more of the latter and when i look back, i realize how people react to my so called "faith" in them. some people think of it as a joke and smirk when i become too serious when im explaining things during training. a few think that the "faith" that i put in them is too much to take, in turn told me that they think that not good enough and want to go to the second team instead.

im sure there will people think that im being emo and all because i didn't go for the dinner, frankly, i really don't care because this is how much this team means to me, so much that it's one of the main priorities in my life and it gets frustrating for me sometimes.

maybe im just tired, maybe i should try having people telling me what to do instead then maybe they'll know what im talking about.

i just hope that something like today won't happen again because i really hate feeling like this, makes me feel like an asswipe.

Of Studies and Time

was talking to 2 of the guys after training today and they asked me how many years i have left to go in NUS. told them that i had 2 more years to go and they said that it was a very long time and i agreed.

then one of them went on to say that he didn't regret not studying hard enough to get into NUS because the degree he got from SIM is giving the same salary as a colleague who graduated from NUS. the other went on and said that he chose not to go to NUS so that he could save time and not study for 4 years, when i was the one who helped with all the applications for NUS a few years back. im sure he would be saying otherwise if he got the acceptance letter back then.

it's funny how they were frantically applying to get into NUS last time.

i'm not angered by all this talk, it's just weird that people can just write off something that other people worked hard for simply with their own perception of how things are, failing to look at things in another person's shoes.

but then again, everyone's entitled to their own views i guess...
