Happily tired

Just came home from supper/dinner with bm at fong seng~

好 饱 啊 !

She had table tennis training and I had IFG match. Today was Engin vs Law~ The substitutes a.k.a yours sincerely included got to play first.

By the time we came out the score was like 42-5.

Then the main players went on and I rested for like 10 minutes before going into the game again. Today got to play alot! So got more chance to perform also hur hur.

Think I played pretty okay today.

After I went in I never came out again till the end of the match.

After the third quarter damn funny. The score was like 70-12 and I thought the match was over. Took off my bip and went to talk to YZ who was playing for USP against SOC. Talk abit liao came back then I realized still got 4th quarter!

After the "engin whoosh!" I faster went to find back my bip and hurriedly tried to put it on and wore it wrongly; like, the head in the arm hole etc. DAMN MALU. While I was busy forcing myself into the bip the Law people suddenly were like 'eh? how come engin left 4 people' then they saw one idiot by the sidelines trying to force himself into the bip.

Referee blew whistle and everyone was there waiting for me to wear back ahahahah.

So I was like 'paiseh paiseh!' and the match resumed. The Law people also damn frenly, they were laughing and saying engin should play them with four people.

Engin played damn well today lah, everything very shun, made most of our shots.

Eh not trying to be mean or anything but I one person scored more than whole of Law combined ahahaha. I scored 17. 2 blocks. Dunno how many rebounds. A few assists. Got 1 fast break also, you know, that kind where you steal the ball and one person chiong to the basket yourself?

Aiyah budden I guess 17 out of engin's 90 points not much in comparison haha.

Well after the match got this guy wearing sin chi jersey came to talk to me.. By the way sin chi is a pretty good bball club in singapore, if I'm not wrong. He was like asking me I year what. So I was like 'year 1'. Think I'm the only year 1 there.

Then he ask me got cca anot. I say 'ya, IES, NUS Investment Club, CAC log assistant, bball sub club.'

(I got so many?! If can still pass tests like this is genius liao.)

He was like, 'aiyah what sub club!'

Here comes the earth-shattering part.

He said,' Come for IVP training this Thursday ba.'

I nearly fainted on the spot.

If you didn't know, I did consider trying for IVP. (Again, IVP basically means representing NUS) I told myself if I played for IVP it'd be my only CCA.

After some time I gave up the thought cos I think it's really too tough to get into IVP, so I went ahead and joined a few other CCAs.

Have stopped thinking about IVP for some time now, and left it at the back of my mind as the dream that will never be and went to join bball sub club.

And now this person standing in front of me is asking me to join the team.

I dunno if you can imagine how I felt~


QB house

Went to have a haircut at plaza cos I was beginning to look like a lion.

The girl who cut my hair quite cute! Name's Samantha.

But she made me feel damn awkward. She asked me how I want to cut. Then I very cooly said' cut short and thin can liao' like I always do when I go for haircuts.

She gave me a very quizzical look and laughed then was like "er..huh? what u mean?" She proceeded on to ask me the details of how I want it done and I shall not bother to write it down cos some of it I don't even know what she was talking about.

I was just like "okok".

Halfway through I said "err I want my sideburns, and the front dun cut too short". Then she kena stunned again.

She said "see ah, if I cut here, then there cannot dun cut, will look very weird" and she proceeded to point here point there point everywhere until I confused.

I think she first time kena such a cool customer who gives cool instructions.

Maybe I also first time kena such a meticulous hairdresser; the rest all I anyhow say they will anyhow cut, this one like so scared cut until I not happy.

So cute.

After Action Review

It's official.

I flunked all my three tests. Well done. Well I expected it and I DESERVED to flunk since I put in so little effort into my studies.

Conclusion: Studies in NUS are fuggin xiong and you can't do so many things at once and expect to do well!

Review of what I have been doing generally for this half a sem: Bball sub-club, bball Inter Faculty Games, trading, reading stuff not associated with studies, watching TV, attending investment seminars,CAC, beach vball about fortnightly. Well I guess some of this stuff don't really take up much time but maybe putting them down will make me feel better hahah.

And NO this is not an excuse to do badly in exams. I WILL work hard!

Engin wHoosH

Just came back from Making Sense of Society. Gonna flunk again? I left 15 minutes before the end if the test cos I figured even if I stayed longer I won't be able to write anything else and I'd rather go home to sleep.

I had 2 out of 12 for math MCQ test! Oh my god, the only 2 I got correct were sums I actually did, so I didn't get a single tikam. Murphy hates me.

Engin was against Medicine yesterday. Med had so many supporters, female somemore. Everytime they scored or did something somewhat spectacular the girls will scream in delight. Made us feel like bad guys.

I was a 'care leh fei' lah, engin didn't even need me hahah, the starting 5 were good enough. I was only on court like 15 minutes out of the 40. What to do, I'm too lousy. But managed to sneak in 2 rebounds, a block and 3 points.

Oh ya, first match in my new shoes wahah.

Don't really remember the score but I think it was something like 32 to 15? Dunno lah.

Anyway now that the mid-term test is over I must fulfil my promise that I must work harder! No more goofing around! Okay, I mean, no more goofing around alot!

massacre

If the math test weren't in MCQ format I'd probably score like 4 out of 12. But it is so if murphy doesn't decide to play a prank on me again I'd pass?

And I decided not to play against SDE today cos I knew deep inside it was a very irrational decision and I decided to be rational today. Going for a test right after a match is never good for your results. Went to watch with bm though, and left at like the second quarter. We won in the end.

I'm planning to go and buy the pair of shoes tomorrow.

Irrational decision again, but I don't care.

inside the red box

Finished classes at 12 and had lunch with dbm.

Now I'm in Central Library again.

I have math test at 7.30pm! As usual, I'm ill-prepared, and what in the world are you seeing a new entry when the writer says that he's ill-prepared for a test?!

Well I guess it's cos it's me.

And before the test, at like 6.30 pm I have bball match. Inter Faculty Games. We're playing against school of design. Dunno if I should go man. So unstudious.

After today there'll be one more test on Thurs. Making Sense of Society. I can't make any sense out of it, how ironic.

After the test I'll be going to the library to collect a book I reserved!

Been wanting to read that for a long time liao.

Haha nerdy lorlilorsor.

Re: Engineers and Lawyers.

Eh, you all get the joke anot ah?

I think it's abit subtle, so for the sake of making the joke complete, I'm gonna EXPLAIN the meaning.

Argh I'm so bad at telling jokes.

The moral of the story is: Lawyers go to hell!

Okay like I said, it's just a joke.

Bad day!

Haha I think I've been through so much shit in my life that an apparent bad day suddenly doesn't feel that bad afterall. I'm numb already!

Statics test was horrible. I see blood all over. When it was over me and demure just looked at each other and smiled. I said "haha, 100% guarantee plus chop, confirm bao fail one." She was more straight to the point: "fuck lah."

Haven't been dabbling in soccer betting for a long time. Thought I might just try my hand today cos if I win I might feel happy again!

Okay don't think you're some smart aleck just by managing to guess that I lost. I mentioned today was a bad day!

So yeah, I lost like 100 bucks. Shall not touch gambling for some time I guess.

Sometimes I feel like a juvenile delinquent (though I'm not exactly a juvenile anymore).

Engineers and Lawyers

It is said that the word 'engineers' comes from the word 'ingenius'. So word has it that when engineers die, they all go to heaven, for all the ingenius ideas they have made to better humankind.

One day, an engineer passes away. However, due to some mistake at the admin office, he is sent to hell instead.

When God realizes the mistake, he is horrified and calls Satan downstairs.

God: Hello old friend, how ya doin?

Satan: Doin good man, how about you?

God: Yeah I'm fine. Actually I called regarding the engineer I accidentally sent down a few days ago. How's he doing?

Satan: Oh him, yes we all like him alot. Since he's here he's installed air-cons for us so this place is not so hot anymore. He also installed lifts so we could travel more easily. Yeah he's cool.

God: (Abit pissed) Oh really. Actually I called to request him back. Can you send him back to me?

Satan: Aww come on, you have so many engineers up there, can't you just leave one for me?

God: This is a matter of principles.

Satan: So whatcha gonna do if I don't oblige?

God: (Very pissed) YOU SHALL FEEL GOD'S WRATH.

Satan: Screw you.

God: (Furious) I'M GONNA SUE THE PANTS OFF YOU.

Satan: Oh really?

God: YES.

Satan: (Smirks) And where are you gonna get a lawyer?

Mid Term break has passed in a flash

And tomorrow I'll be having Physics mid term test.

15 MCQs.

I heard the average score is between 4-6. I wonder what's the objective of tests of super high difficulty. To demoralize us?

I'm so looking forward to the break at the end of the semester!

I don't hate studying, but breaks are always a perk.

Well I hope I score better the 'average score' tomorrow.

Sometimes I wish I could be a mugger and have the patience to mug non-stop.

Cos I always drift off to play and end up not finishing my work alamak.

Lost memories

I just realized that for dunno what reason, I lost the entire archive in my mobile.

Her messages are gone.

ALL GONE.

Stairway to Heaven

Welcome to another episode of drama preview by the cynical and unromantic reporter lorlilorsor!

But I like this show! Damn soapy, damn Korean.

What I don't understand is, why do they always keep RUNNING and RUNNING?! Every episode at least run once! Guy run after girl, girl run after guy, yada yada.

But I feel very uncomfortable when I see the girl run, she looks like she's gonna fall down anytime. But I like seing the guy run; I think in real life he's a sprinter or something also.

The guy is damn shuai. I know I sound gay by saying this kinda thing but he's really damn shuai; he has a very very heavy aura of melancholy and 沧 桑 感 ..

The name of the show also reminded me of some stupid sentence I made up when I was still damn small. It gives me the goosebumps now but apparently it sounds very romantic to little girls cos my friend actually stole it and put it in her blog. Oh we called it opendiary.com last time haha. And her friends all say very nice hahah.

Maybe I have a flair for poetry leh? Can use to bluff girls muahahah.

"If I had a grain of sand each time I thought of you, I could build a stairway right up into the heavens so blue, and beyond to the stars so bright."

Writing free-hand on MSN

I just found out this function 2 nights ago, thanks to my 大 表 妹 。

You could actually activate a paint mode and scribble free-hand(free-mouse) just by clicking the brush button beside the A button on the lower right corner of ur MSN conversation window. Okay I don't know if I'm being sua ku and everyone actually knows this already but I knew I was damn fascinated when 大 表 妹 suddenly used this.

Then I started becoming delirious and started scribbling stuff like :

华 人 讲 华 语。

床 前 明 月 光 !

And I didn't carry on as I very embarassingly forgot how to write the word 疑 。

To my utter amazement 大 表 妹 ended it off for me by going

疑 是 地 上 霜 ,

举 头 望 明 月 ,

低 头 吃 香 菇.

I still remember being stunned for about 5 seconds not knowing whether to laugh or what. I've heard many versions of this piece of poetry but this is really the first time I heard 吃 香 菇and I really thought it sounded damn funny.

I gave her a big
.
..

and concluded that

我 们 真 的 sibeh bo liao leh. no wonder we're cousins!




My Date with the Funny Vampires

Oh my goodness this 11 pm show on Channel 8 on Sunday nights is really horrendously funny; if u never had the chance to watch it u must give it a shot man.

The tragedies are so funny that I always burst out laughing by myself in front of the TV when someone dies.

I don't mean to be sadistic, budden where got show in which EVERYONE die until so drama one!? Everytime the sad music comes out I just can't stop laughing.

In other words their tears and pain is directly proportional to my joy and amusement.

Seriously I can't imagine anyone feeling sad from those scenes. Or am I too cold-blooded. I don't think so leh.

I mean, how to feel sad when the protagonists of the show have names like 箭 头 and 完 颜 不 破 and 岳 飞 suddenly has a daughter named 岳 银 瓶 and she has a friggin powerful spear with a NAME that is 小 丙 银 枪 and her nickname is 追 魂 夜 叉 and Song Dynasty got people use SUPERNATURAL POWER to call people on MOBILE PHONES and you could actually RIDE A BIKE TO YEAR 2004 and people actually thought CAMERA PHONES are SOUL TRAPPERS.

Damn absurd.

But I like.

Something to ponder about.

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ... 'Wow ! What a ride!'"

Of Humility

I think I ate something wrong yesterday and had a mild case of food poisoning.

It was damn torturous and I was just lying on the bed not being able to do anything at all and it's one of those times in which you say to yourself "I'd do ANYTHING if I could feel normal again."

So I was lying there and my mum was (as usual) nagging at me aout not being able to take care of myself and applying medicated oil on me and forcing me to eat and drink water. I didn't have dinner cos I really really had no appetite. And my mum has this secret technique; I guess it's a form of massage; pulling my fingers, joints etc. Damn shiok one.

So after she applied her secret technique one me I just tried to force myself to sleep. After another five minutes of torture, I shot up on my bed and pulled out the wastepaper basket and PUKED like 5 bursts of disgusting stuff. *Shudders*

It's amazing how this disgusting stuff can make one feel so tortured.

With all my strength and energy I went to clean up the wastepaper basket and wiped the floor etc.

When I'm all done and lying on the bed I felt really really blissful.

It really doesn't take much to be happy.

The Glass Box

I'm now NUS Central Library, in this little glass 'box' they call the chat point. It's supposedly where people come in to talk on the phone, but I'm using it to chill out and do my work at the same time, cos there's a powerpoint for my laptop.

It's this row of four glass boxes, each separated by a glass wall and all have different colours. Green, yellow, red and blue.

Sheesh but it's damn noisy here now cos there's this 2 idiots opposite me now tlaking damn friggin loudly like dunno what. Tmd this is damn funny. They were laughing friggin loudly and then the guy whispered something, I think to ask the girl to quieten down cos they're damn noisy, then I heard the girl say "ting bu dao de lah!" Sheesh, then what I am hearing. Then they carried on laughing away. Damn irritating.

Oops shit. HAHAH. Someone just came in to complain that they were laughing too loudly! Whoa.

Okay, now it's quiet and I can start doing my work.

Inter-Fac Bball Trials.

Okay first of all, I got into engin team.

Now I wanna bitch about the details.

For the uninitiated, a team consists of 12 players. For Engin, however, we already have 5 players from IVP. IVP=Inter Varsity and Poly competition players=damn zai one.

So they're only gonna select SEVEN from us non-IVP players. Of which THREE were selected yesterday.

So that means only FOUR were gonna be selected today. Out of TWENTY ONE people who came.

Out of the FOUR selected today, I think THREE are year 3s.

So I think I'm the ONLY freshie. I think still got one more, but I'm not very sure.

Played 5 on 5 all the way for trials. The captain kept stressing that he is looking for DEFENCE, COMMUNICATION and HUSTLE.

Anyway I'm glad I got in as a forward this time, and not a friggin center. I hate playing center cos I'm damn friendly and thus I'm not a HUSTLE person.

Towards the end the captain came in to play also. I gave him a few very nice assists. Hahah maybe that's why he likes me and let me in.

When he was announcing the results he also damn funny. He's damn cute lah, like shy shy one.

'Er... I'm very sory that I can only select four of you today. For the rest of you, it doesn't mean you're not good or anything. But 5 on 5 requires alot of teamwork.. Err... I hope you all understand' And so on and so forth.

Make everyone sit there and be nervous only.

"Err.. So I'm going to announce the results now. Err... Superman. Then er... Spiderman. Er... Batman. And er.. Peter Pan. Then.. Er... Eh what's ur name again ah?"

"Er...Lorlilorsor."

"Er..Ya, and lorlilorsor. Err... Ya, that's all."

So yeah. Engin has like FIVE IVP players. Then the rest who got in look quite zai also. So I foresee that...

ENGIN WILL LUP ALL THE REST AGAIN THIS YEAR.


Unstudious me

"What is right is right, even if no one is doing it.
What is wong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it."


Today I realized that I didn't do the Statics online tutorial that I was supposed to hand in at 5 p.m. So after school at 12 p.m. I immediately chionged to the library and finished it at like 4 p.m. Damn exciting.

But once again I realize how not-serious-enough I am with my school work! Time to wake up man, I AM A S-T-U-D-E-N-T!!

Aye, but sometimes when I see my peers getting so stressed out, I wonder if it'd be better if I stay in my current state. Some of my peers really look damn tortured; like no life anymore, and they always look so glum and sianz.

And ME leh?!

I keep attending non-academic seminars~~ Gonna attend an options trading seminar on Thurs. And going for Inter Faculty bball trial tomorrow.

So not-dilligent, but at least I'm happy! I guess I know what I want and what's important to me. To some people I could be prioritizing the wrong stuff but hey, it's my life!

Oh by the way, I don't pride myself as being un-studious. I don't understand why some people are so proud to be slackers. Yeah lah, I agree it sounds cool SOMETIMES, but ultimately it's the person who knows when to slack and when to pia that emerges the winner in life.

These proud slackers, however, slack all the way and think they're oh-so-cool.

Got back my CRITICAL THINKING AND WRITING assignment today and I got a whooping 80 marks!

Hmm I think that was like the highest but quite afew of us got that so ah well I'm just glad that I didn't like fail or something lah.

Time is wasting

Saturday has passed, and Sunday is almost gone.

I HAVE WASTED THE ENTIRE WEEKEND.

Sheesh, I must work doubly hard next week then. Had bball on Friday and Saturday, and vball at sentosa today. If only I were as dilligent in studies as in playing.

Haven't been to sentosa for like 3 weeks so it's great to be there with the usual gang again today. It was pretty fun but I left early cos I WANTED to be studious and come home early but I ended up sleeping instead. Aye, at least sleeping is more helpful towards my studies than vball.

We saw this really cute toddler today and I didn't manage to whip out my camera in time, so I have ended up shamelessly kopping pics of the kid from Alvin's blog. Don't mind ah dude :)


Huh? I shy lah~


Nespray makes me STRONG.
Goo goo ga ga.

Drove my brother to Pasir Ris after my little nap. Had a little mishap; there was this arm-boo-neh on a bike at this pedestrian crossing. He was like stoning there for awhile, so I ASSUMED that he was waiting for someone or he had too much time on his hands and decided to enjoy the breeze there or something. And then-you guessed it. HE STARTED HAPPILY CYCLING ACROSS JUST AS I WAS CROSSING HIS PATH.

My fault for being careless I guess, but I wonder why he is playing around with his life faking drivers like this~~

Very fun meh?

Singapore vs Malaysia


Yeah, tomorrow is the finals of the Asian Netball Championship! It's us against our arch nemesis Malaysia!!

Okay before you go off thinking I'm crazy like the rest of the world does, I'm not! Okay I know it sounds damn funny that anyone actually follows the netball scene, but why?? Besides the fact that it's a girls's game?

Anyway at a competitive level, I think it'll be damn cool to watch with all the slick passing etc.

I tried jio-ing people to go watch the finals with me tomorrow but they're all either like not free or give me that 'are u crazy?' look.

Not that I've watched a real netball match, but it certainly sounds cool and I've been following this tourney.

Next up is girl's basketball!

I'm gonna follow that one too :)

This is damn cool.

I want new shoes

My current pair of T Mac really becoming damn cannot make it man. The soles and design are coming off, the shoelaces are tattered and torn, it's FRIGGIN smelly, and washing doesn't help!

I feel like getting a new pair. I just saw this pair of Nike shoes the other day. Black with a red tick. I think it's damn nice.

About a hundred bucks I think.

Aye, if only I were rich.

My new RC car!

For the ill-informed, RC stands for remote control!

Okay, so wtf is a friggin 21 year old thinking when he guys a RC car?

Eh, I love cars!! And I've been wanting to get one since I don't know how long ago; they were just too expensive. But there was this uber mega-sale going on and it was going for only like 15 bucks!! Holy cow!!

SO the moment I saw the ad on TODAY I sms-ed bm 'eh bm, i got a crazy idea. tonight go concourse?! got toy fair, got one rc car damn cheap i wan to buy!'

And when we ran into her friend at the bus-stop she HAD to mention that we were going to a TOY FAIR.

Then I got uber paiseh cos her friend laughed DAMN hard.

When I was playing with it last night I could also see the looks of pure amaze in my mum and sis's eyes.

But I like the car! It's so big and nasty and cool.

So who says 21 year old cannot go toy fair?!


Childish and proud to be.

Modules I do in school

-MA 1505: Mathematics! I'm not really worried about this; I guess I'm okay with math and though I'm behind in tutorials, I find that I'm able to do most of it when I catch up. I think it's cos most of it is still like revision of JC stuff. The only new thing is the L'hopital's rule which ain't really that hard.

-PC 1431: Physics! Hmm, basically we're just going through all the kinematics shit equations again and I still remember some of them from JC days, so I guess I'm still alright too! But I guess this shall be my hardest module to catch up because I have no idea what the lecturer's been saying. Well maybe that's because I've been either sleeping or using my laptop one third of the time, but I'm truly kind of lost in Physics!

-EG1109: Statics and Mechanics of Materials. Eh, I find this module quite fun. But I don't understand what the difference is between this and Physics. So far we've only been doing stuff like resolving vectors into x and y axes and doing the basic couples and moments stuff.

-EG 1413: Critical Thinking and Writing. Arh, I don't like this. It's like GP! So many discussions and presentations. And we have like 2 tutorials per week compared to the 1 per week of most other classes. Maybe we'd have less workload later on? I hope!

-SC 1101: Eh, not sure if I got the numbers right. This is Sociology, Making Sense of Society. I don't like this either. Maybe I don't like reading about stuff I'm not interested in. But the lectures are funny~ Those by the french lecturer~~ Her accent is so damn funny. Family=Farmeelee, dishes=dishees, individual=endeeveeduol, etc.

Of what I've been doing in school~

Next week shall be my 5th week in school! Basically, as a student, I have been really slack. I am behind by an average of one tutorial for every single module.

But I'm not too worried actually because I know I'd be able to catch up soon. The reason I'm lagging behind is actually not because I don't understand what's going on but because I've been occupying myself with other stuff.

1) I've been busy making my home page! I've been wanting to make one for damn long already. Now it's like, 20% done, I think.

2) I've been playing bball quite alot. Well, why not? I love bball.

3) I've been trying to make money! I think I mentioned this before some entries ago; I'm doing some trading online and I just made like 80 bucks yesterday~ I guess one would just dismiss any online money-making opportunity as a scam so I shall not bother to elaborate just yet! Till I begin to earn substantial amounts~

Despite not being very pro-active in school work(for now), I don't feel empty or panicky or what. No idea if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I don't sleep much, and I spend most of my time doing stuff, so I don't consider myself wasting my life away.

But anywayz, I've got to start catching up with school work! Afterall quizzes are coming up already.

Haven't been to Sentosa to play vball for like 3 weeks already~~ I'm now back to my primary sport hur hur.

Well some people might think I'm spending too much time on non-academic stuff. I don't think so personally, and I guess that's all that matters! Perhaps this is what I think of as a more balanced life.

Haha why am I speaking as if I am DAMN slack. Actually I don't think I am; I'm just relatively slacker compared to my peers. Maybe that's got to do with my background~

Always been in schools that are like ranked pretty bad, and so the study culture is like quite relaxed and OTOT.

But no, I realize the importance of studies and I shall work harder when exams draw nearer! :)
