What do you say when you come across people with so much talent.......?
Why, you say "Damn that bitch/jerk really CMI lar!" while wishing at the same time that you can switch places with em..................
It's life dude..........and we're never ever perfect.........so we say and do things that we never mean.......
I made up my mind
Don't need to think it over
If i'm wrong i am right
Don't need to look no further
See what i mean..............
Adele and Laura Marling........it's been sum time since i came across sth that's kinda non-mainstream that i actually like...........especially the lyrics............damn are they good!
Try "Chasing Pavements" by Adele and "New Romantic" by Laura Marling.......i especially like the video for New Romantic............very subtle and yet powerful.........very nice :) coincidentally both videos play with shadows lol but i guess it's just a coincidence after all..........
On a side note, it's a leap year! But sadly i spent this once-in-4-years day capturing videos and revising MLE............but who cares, after tmr morning's paper i'm gonna go out and buy sum stuff i've wanted to buy for sum time plus maybe catch a movie! Juno, if possible........if not we'll see what other movies are on then........as usual i'm doing all these on my own cos very leceh to have to find ppl to go with me............ Rather than having to cater to many ppls' needs and not enjoying a day u're giving urself entirely, i wud rather choose to have just me and myself for company tmr! I'm meeting up with 11/05 after that anyway..... Everyone's gotta have sum quality time with theirselves once in a while u noe.......i just do it more often that's all........and i'm lovin' it. :)
Cheerz to tmr's paper!

I found this on someone's blog and tot it was kinda cool.........so "borrowed" it hahaha but i guess it's not his work anyway should be sth frm the net so i guess u can't consider dat as plagiarism can u........
I didn't know how to make the damn thing turn on the blog but i tried clicking on it and on the new page it actually turns (the woman in the pic) so i guess u need to click on it then.......
THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test … do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test … do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.
LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
“big picture” oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can “get it” (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking
Well i couldn't in my life understand why people sees the woman turning anti-clockwise cos it's as clear as my freaking new contact lenses that the woman (or girl or ah so or obasang or slut or........u get my meaning........) is actually turning CLOCKWISE..............so dat puts me with using more of my right-brain........well i dunno how true dat is but looking at the breakdown of the 2 sides of our brain i guess it's rather accurate.......i mean i dunno much about the "big picture" thingy....but feelings scores 1 for me, plus the symbols n images thingy, and the fantasy based ohhhh i'm telling you that can not get any truer (unless of course McCain wins the damn elections......den u noe that fantasy really doesn't exist since neither a black nor a woman scored it big time tis time round....n i doubt they'll get another chance as good as tis one........) Impetuous....? Lol if u're refering to my spending habits then yes.......and big time.......... Risk-taking.......? Well if u include that one time when i purposely studied till 5 am n yet chose to sleep for a while before my test at 10am and risk over-sleeping n ruining my 10% for that module which i eventually did in the end......then probably yes to that as well........
Heck............life's a bitch anyway...........why give in to her again and again when u can have sum fun huh? I din fail dat module afterall........n i ain't planning to for any other modules either so there u fucking bitch!
Having said that, i tink i'll just get bck to getting acquainted with my structure n bonds and diffusion n things that i know i'll most probably forget within 2 days after the test n not use them in any occasion for the rest of my life yet having to force myself to deepthroat them at tis juncture while cursing the notes incessantly at the same time........... Reminds you of sth familiar? Yup you gotttttttttttt it! It sounds exactly like dat guy/girl u brought home ytd whom u forgot his/her name after the 1st few rounds of tussle doesn't it? Yup yup no doubt about it........ u ain;t gonna rmb him/her after dat rendezvous are u..........
Life's a bitch........but sometimes we just need a bitch in our lives don't we? :)

Btw my 1st mid term paper's on this coming Sat n i haven done nuts yet...........shit.........
Just finished my filming duty at the UCC for the Indian Dance Society. It was quite tiring cos the guy briefing us were giving all sorts of instructions about who he wants us to focus on and which part of the dance we were supposed to be filming etc etc....kinda stressed cos u sort of realise u can't really do a half-hearted job here, especially when they're giving us points for this duty too. AND 13 POINTS AT THAT! 2 and a half hour's worth of duty and i'm earning points equivalent to approximately 2 hall committees or 1 IHG training team + 1 IHG 1st team...........that's super a lot! Not forgetting the fact that if i were to join either comms or IHG sports i would be doing stuff or training for either the entire 2 sem or at least 1 sem be4 i can claim the points....... This time round it only cost me 2 and a half hours (plus maybe a little more for the editing) to get so much points. Strike dude STRIKE! :)
On a side note, IHG has officially ended and sadly this year we had to relinquish the overall champ title to EH but it was definitely a very close affair cos we were only behind them by a few points.......well it's a competition right so there's definitely no forever losers or winner......it changes hands all the time and we had the tile last year so it was just a pity we couldn't retain it for another year. But at least it's definitely gonna spur everyone on next year. Gampate!
Well, even when IHG has ended my workload hasn't cos still got 1 more IHG video to edit....... At least i've almost finished the shortfilm.... Was editing it from 1 pm to 9 pm ytd..........nearly died in the editing room cos the stupid aircon is sooooooooooo cold.............
Going bck tmr and hopefully i can catch a few movies while i'm back........as well as buy sum stuff. Clothes maybe.......and sum other stuff...........i dun really noe what i wanna get. But at the same time have to start preparing for mid term too. At least i managed to get the maths textbook today cos co-op ran out of stock so i got 1 frm the clement i bookstore and it's cheaper lar! Damn it nvr gonna buy my txtbks frm the co-op again............
Wanna watch Atonement......... and Juno.......... and Elizabeth......... and many many more. Luckily watching movies in JB wun burn a big hole in my pocket.............
Oh btw i also got my contact lenses again hahaha i accidentally ripped my monthly 1 into 2 when i was cleaning it and i got a shock of my life! Cos i know the lenses r flexible so i was assuming it to be like u noe rubber like? Like u can extend it or pull it n it wun break? So i was cleaning it that day when i tink i pulled at it slightly too hard and it just tore into 2 pieces! I was so stunned i just stood there starring at the 2 pieces lying in my palm with disbelief.....! Luckily it wasn't my permanent one or else die.............
Need a break need a break...........AND I'M GETTING IT TMR! :)
Everyone say Cheers!
Banzai! also can........! :P

Plus sum of the extra points i got from the interim and IBG period as well as volunteer work outside of hall, maybe they'll bring me close to 40 but i'm not sure........so better get enuf...........better more than not enuf lor........

The Day I'll Finally Live My Life The Way I Want It
Finally managed to finish the Handball Girls Semifinals video so yay 1 video down and 2 to go! Took me quite long but the end product was still ok so was still satisfied....at least i tried to do a decent 1 instead of just trying to finish it up with a mediocre product.........
I dun noe about others but....for me....it's impossible for me to live the life i want at the place where i'm at right now.........and it's not restricted by geographical boundaries either......... there are sum inherent values and thinkings and perspectives that will remain unchanged even as we see the rest of the world moving on.........cos our part of the world is still not ready yet.......we just can't except things being any other way except that of what we're used to, not even when we see it with our own eyes on tv or in the papers......... For sum ppl, obviously its just natural.......rite frm the moment they were born sum things are just a matter of fact........there are no other ways of going about it cos from the way they see it, there is but 1 option available.........how you came about to possess a second option is beyond them.....but then sum of us do.........heck we may even have a 3rd option for all u noe............but the fucking thing is i can't even begin to tell u where all these extra options came from....or the moment they 1st appeared....or why they appeared and how they appeared in the very 1st place! I'm as clueless as u are, but then at the same time i cannot dismiss the fact that these options have now become available to me..........or that they may even replace other options ppl deemed normal......and has now evolved into my 1st priority.........
I've been kinda down lately........though i never let it show..........u will nvr find me upset when i'm with frens.........cos i can't bring myself to be sad in front of them.........it's like spoiling the whole atmosphere with ur moodiness isn't it? Kinda like a spoilsport.........i laugh with em n joke around wif them............but then things onli remain as they are according to the situation....... u sort of realise dat when u're bck in ur room alone.......
I wud like to see changes........heck i've said to myself a hundred million times i WUN EVER allow myself to live like dat fot the rest of my life...........for once, even if it's only a brief moment, i will live my life the way i wan it..........of course i wud hope to be able to dat when i'm young, and not when i'm already old and load of options have run out for me........but then at the same time when u're young there are many restrictions too.......... funny how ppl always tink that youth is the best moment to do what u wan..........maybe it is so overseas.........but for asians i hardly tink that applies.......cos our family will always be there.......u can't possibly just tell ur parents u wana go stay abroad n do wad u wan w/o any prior planning n expect em to let u........
I dunno..........i dun ever wanna regret living tis life as tis identity....... (cos u never noe....maybe reincarnation really happens n u get a 2nd chance living a life as sumone else...) i wanna do sth for once that's according to my wishes...........
We'll see...............

WHAT IS MAN?
Ermmm i also dun really noe for sure........cos i'm always thinking like a boy.........why? Cos i wan to be like Peter Pan who never needs to grow up lol..........frankly i dun really noe why ppl wan to grow up except for the fact that its inevitable.......pls dun tell me u actually enjoy worrying over ur exams' grades (we dun really think about these things when we're kiddy kids do we....?) or having to start thinking about getting a job, earning money while dealing with the stress at the same time, bearing all sorts of responsibilities as an adult...........
Ermmmmmmmm..............
No thanx.................
Ok for guys maybe we at least have sum gains like the chance to have sex (who says u can't have them while u're young in the very 1st place....? o.O ) but den u start to worry whether ur "sword" is long/big/thick enough or whether your "dueling" skills in the fluffy and soft arena is sharp/adept enough........... Are u sure u noe when to parry and when to lunge? When to slow the pace down and when to deliver the "critical" blow?
Enough of that...........i wud rather have a grown up body with the imagination of a kid living in his own world rather than face all that.............but maybe that's partly because i dun seem to have any other choice at all lol...
So...... What is man? Actually that's the title of a theatre play i just caught today (Tues....im writing at 1am in the morning.....) with xinhui at esplanade.......... It's my very 1st time watching a play at the esplanade so i was really looking forward to it, plus its a play from Taiwan and it's in chinese (though there was english subtitle also lar) with a few familiar faces (to me....i dun tink u guys will noe who they are if i mention their names....) Well....... I WASN'T DISAPPOINTED AT ALL!
Frankly speaking, the play was very good! It certainly exceeded my expectations. I tot it was gona be kinda dry or serious cos the chinese title is Shui Hu Zhuan 水滸傳 (that classic chinese novel thingy which i never had the appetite to consume) BUT it was in fact a drama/comedy combi! The 1st few scenes were all hilarious and everyone was just laughing at the actors' antics on stage. There were sum darker scenes behind too but it all fitted the whole play quite well (though i can never really understand the need for the last scene - the finale) Looking at them liddat, i wonder why the heck am i in engineering..........cos i enjoy arts so much its really part of my life..........haih i also dunno lar.......
刀不在大小，就看你怎么用。
我喜欢骑在浪上面，可是我怎么可能去爱上一个浪？
I like these 2 lines from the play a lot......... Probably because they can mean so many different things, depending on how and where u place them......... It's open to interpretation.........to such an extend that there's practically no limit to your imagination at all......... It reminds me of reading a book, just to dwell on some characters or some particular scenes long after i'm done finishing the book......... Or a movie, a show......... Well for a play tis is my 1st encounter with a very familiar sensation........ hahaha deja vu again.........
I dunno whether i'm on the wrong path or not........ or maybe i just refuse to believe that up till now i am still deeply unsure of the path i WANT to take..........cos if i dun even noe what path i wan, how am i suppose to noe whether the path i am already on is the right one or not? Or whether there actually exists a path that is the specific one i have been looking for all tis while...?
I tink about a lot of things.........but i do very little..........
I imagine about a lot of things............but i transform onli about 0.1% of them into reality........
One thing i noe for sure about myself.........i have things i like......things i really really enjoy doing.........not for the sake of doing them.........but for the sake of comparing them to myself.........and then i grow up........and maybe one day when i've compared enough.........and grown up enough........i will realise i have never been merely a boy in a man's body.......but i've been more than that..........
There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy
And sad of eye
But very wise
Was he
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
In return.....
Well, i guess i have a great deal more to learn before i learn the greatest lesson in life.......and with that in mind i'll continue to do things i like........and compare (not all comparing is bad u noe.....)
And thus grow........
Ermmm i also dun really noe for sure........cos i'm always thinking like a boy.........why? Cos i wan to be like Peter Pan who never needs to grow up lol..........frankly i dun really noe why ppl wan to grow up except for the fact that its inevitable.......pls dun tell me u actually enjoy worrying over ur exams' grades (we dun really think about these things when we're kiddy kids do we....?) or having to start thinking about getting a job, earning money while dealing with the stress at the same time, bearing all sorts of responsibilities as an adult...........

Are u sure u noe when to parry and when to lunge? When to slow the pace down and when to deliver the "critical" blow?
Enough of that...........i wud rather have a grown up body with the imagination of a kid living in his own world rather than face all that.............but maybe that's partly because i dun seem to have any other choice at all lol...
So...... What is man? Actually that's the title of a theatre play i just caught today (Tues....im writing at 1am in the morning.....) with xinhui at esplanade.......... It's my very 1st time watching a play at the esplanade so i was really looking forward to it, plus its a play from Taiwan and it's in chinese (though there was english subtitle also lar) with a few familiar faces (to me....i dun tink u guys will noe who they are if i mention their names....) Well....... I WASN'T DISAPPOINTED AT ALL!
Frankly speaking, the play was very good! It certainly exceeded my expectations. I tot it was gona be kinda dry or serious cos the chinese title is Shui Hu Zhuan 水滸傳 (that classic chinese novel thingy which i never had the appetite to consume) BUT it was in fact a drama/comedy combi! The 1st few scenes were all hilarious and everyone was just laughing at the actors' antics on stage. There were sum darker scenes behind too but it all fitted the whole play quite well (though i can never really understand the need for the last scene - the finale) Looking at them liddat, i wonder why the heck am i in engineering..........cos i enjoy arts so much its really part of my life..........haih i also dunno lar.......
刀不在大小，就看你怎么用。
我喜欢骑在浪上面，可是我怎么可能去爱上一个浪？
I like these 2 lines from the play a lot......... Probably because they can mean so many different things, depending on how and where u place them......... It's open to interpretation.........to such an extend that there's practically no limit to your imagination at all......... It reminds me of reading a book, just to dwell on some characters or some particular scenes long after i'm done finishing the book......... Or a movie, a show......... Well for a play tis is my 1st encounter with a very familiar sensation........ hahaha deja vu again.........
I dunno whether i'm on the wrong path or not........ or maybe i just refuse to believe that up till now i am still deeply unsure of the path i WANT to take..........cos if i dun even noe what path i wan, how am i suppose to noe whether the path i am already on is the right one or not? Or whether there actually exists a path that is the specific one i have been looking for all tis while...?
I tink about a lot of things.........but i do very little..........
I imagine about a lot of things............but i transform onli about 0.1% of them into reality........
One thing i noe for sure about myself.........i have things i like......things i really really enjoy doing.........not for the sake of doing them.........but for the sake of comparing them to myself.........and then i grow up........and maybe one day when i've compared enough.........and grown up enough........i will realise i have never been merely a boy in a man's body.......but i've been more than that..........
There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy
And sad of eye
But very wise
Was he
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
In return.....
Well, i guess i have a great deal more to learn before i learn the greatest lesson in life.......and with that in mind i'll continue to do things i like........and compare (not all comparing is bad u noe.....)
And thus grow........

It's Sunday.......so for me dat means CNY is almost officially over for me liao even though in reality it lasts for like 15 days or so.........i'm already bck in my room rite now as i'm writing tis entry......luckily my dad sent me bck or else i'll most prob be stuck at the custom........u wun believe the traffic jam......both vehicles and human......
So another Chinese New Year went past me again.......it was pretty much the same thing all over again tis year.....but funnily to me it felt like i was a by stander watching everything unfold in front of me instead of being the participant........cos everything was like exactly the same........we set off on new year's eve to malacca to pick my 2nd bro up, den headed bck down to Muar to my grandma's place......stayed at the same hotel/apartment.......same level summore........met the same old relatives........ate almost the same old dishes for reunion dinner (with the slight exception of having yu sang tis year cos my uncle bot those pre-packed one) played blackjack with the same group of uncles/aunties/cousins and won about the same pathetic amount of money....ate the same old breakfast on the 1st day of CNY (muar otak and fried kuey tiao) got about the same amout of ang pao money.......watched the same old CNY shows on the tv......set off for Malacca the next day and met up with the same old relatives......ate our reunion lunch at the same old restaurant 4 years in a row (which was paid by my aunt 4 years in a row)....had almost the same old home-cooked dishes for dinner.......got exactly the same amount of ang pao money frm specific relatives.........den set off for home the next day.........but not before i got to eat dim sum for breakfast (at a specific place) and satay for lunch (once again at a specific shop).
Talk about deja vu........... By the way i just realised "deja vu" is french.....it literally means already (deja) seen (vu).......
So even though i've been looking and looking and looking forward to the CNY hols, i still went thru it just like any other year.......but then i still enjoyed it loads........not becos of the food (its almost the same every year though i concur that it's much better than wad i get in hall) or becos of the money (still my ang pao money is veri IMPORTANT to me....my major source of income every year...) but becos of the company.......i enjoy the atmosphere of having everyone gathered together and just having fun........but u dun really get the chance to do that all the time......its already hard to be able to meet up with a large group of frens, let alone relatives rite..?
Altogether, my ang pao money tis year came up to a grand total of RM966 and S$50. Satisfied...? U bet i am! And my dad gave me an extra S$50 when he sent me bck to so yay! Got money liao.....! But i dun wan to simply spend.......already spent quite a lot when i did my contact lens plus bot my new shoes.....so ya gonna save those money!
For me, its always onli after CNY that the year officially start anew, not when we reach the 1st of Jan......so its a fresh new start once again for me........i've really been slacking a lot.....n at those times to me it feels like i'm really not fulfilling my responsibilities......esp towards my parents.....cos all my expenditure here is burning a BIG hole in their pockets......so........today (Sunday) is the day when i want to make things right. To start i cleaned my room ( cos i forgot to spring clean my room be4 i went bck) and did my laundry. Next i'll start revising all my notes n complete all my overdued tutorials.... I also have a french test coming up tis coming Friday and i dun wanna screw it up so gonna revise my French everyday for at least 2 hours to prepare myself for it. I wanna do well tis semester....i really really do.....a lot depends on it.....and i'm definitely not going to disappoint myself, not after all that i've achieved to reach where i am right now......
On a side note, i tink i'm bloated......too much good food and absolutely no exercise.....AND my mum still gave me one whole bag full of chocs and cookies........most of which i wun eat anyway with the exception of the pineapple tarts i guess.......but i really need to slow down AND cut down my food intake liao........shud learn frm kenny sia and go detox for 5 days........
Super long entry hor....? Lol.......always feel a bit down when i come bck to hall after being home for more than 3 days.........call it home sick if u will........i contribute it to the miss-being-slack-at-home syndrome........but wad the heck.........as i said.....i'm gonna buck up.....so i'll save being melancholy for another time then. :)
Melancholy song for melancholy me? I don't tink so............
