When will i even have time to achieve what I have set out to complete. Haiz.

Track Your Happiness Level

Just a random thought while I was taking a dump in the toilet. I would like to create an app that helps tracks the happiness level in a couple's relationship. It will at least  provide a direction for both parties to know where the relationship is heading. Plus, I am sure this app will give much credibility to the old saying that "Relationships are always the roller coaster ride of your lifetime".

=D. Interested developers, do call me!

Complaints after midnight

Oh my. I got to tear myself away from Youtube. Took up half of my day. Sometimes, i seriously don't know what is wrong with me.

Where is my self-discipline!

Haiz...

Ok now, what kind of online community should I choose?

Jeremy Lin

What can I say? He is simply sensational. Maybe that is an understatement. He is the one to be exact.

Loads of exciting news has been buzzing around Singapore for the past few days. Scandal, promiscuity, lack of accountability. For me, it is just disappointment. Everything seems so shady behind the scenes, and even when the party has decided to expel him, I don't think Singaporeans are full accounted for the entire saga that has happened. One thing for sure, the whole scandal has dealt a huge blow to the opposition cause.

Really want a change this sem. I want to start believing in myself again. The first quiz gave me short jab of confidence that I needed.

Alright, I am off to complete my NM assignment. This assignment has to be completed in a jiffy.

Jeremy Lin... You have taken too much of my time... But i will still be supporting you! You are more than  an inspiration. You have become the role models and idol for all Asians out there.

God damn it. I need to get my act together.

Screwed up Saturdays

This is one of the worst Saturdays ever in my life. Period.

Liverpool lost, not without creating so much ruckus. Thye have got to get their act together. None, not a single one of them is performing up to the required standard that this football club deserve. Really saddening to see them lacking the drive and creativity.

Oh well, on top of that, things got even messier. I don't know how much damage has been done or whether this damage can be controlled. All I hope for is that the common agreement would be preserved. This is all I want for now.

Sometimes, I ask myself if I am demanding too much, or is it the case whereby I am not receiving what I think I should be getting for all the effort I have put in? A big puzzle that I wonder if it can ever be solved.
Oh well, I can only hope for the better and my rashness must be curbed before I single handled undo all the good that has been done.

Oh well, newspaper article for the NUSPA forum. I need inspiration. Just realized it is a 800-900 words article. Zomg. Got to complete it before I sleep. Target.

Random

As the title goes, this is one random post.

Just came back from my grandma's birthday celebration at Todai restaurant. The restaurant is located at a very secluded section of MBS. It took us quite a while to reach the restaurant from the MRT exit. Anyway, Bayfront MRT station resembles a scene from the walking dead, very quiet and eerie. It seems as if I was the only guy who used the toilet in weeks.

Todai is a Korean restaurant which specializes in buffet. They have a wide variety of cuisines to choose from. Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Italian, and many more, you name it, you will have it. However, it is nothing fantastic in my opinion. Nevertheless, if you are someone who is fickle minded and love to be spoilt for choices, Todai can be one of your weekend spots to hang out.

The highlight came when I got to see MBS casino for the first time since its opening. It was an eye opener. Ok, to clarify things first, I did not pay a hundred bucks to get myself in. There is a lift which can bring you to the second floor gallery where you can overlook the entire casino. We stayed there for about 15-20 minutes and during that time, we witnessed this guy losing 5 times in a row. *Ouch*

Yesterday was a very dramatic day and an emotional one. Hopefully, things will turn out fine. I really do not like to go through repeated cycles of emotional upheavals. It distracts me from my planned activities and the pain of the past coming back to haunt me time and time again is too much for me to bear.

Week 5 is here. And the first assignment is up tomorrow, time to start cracking.

So much stuff on my mind. But then again, procrastination is creeping back into me. I have got to purge this evil out of me.

Bad Night

A bad night to end the day off yesterday. I guess it was my foul mood which caused the whole incident. Nevertheless, it felt god that I got it off my chest. Earlier rather than later, for it may get worse in the future. 

Going to watch two great plays today - Wicked and Breaking Dawn. One is a movie and the other is some Broadway musical. Kind of looking forward to it. It is a first time watching a musical, hence the excitement. Most importantly, it is the company. Hopefully, all will turn well later on.

Liverpool drew Oldham for FA Cup. They better win this match comfortably, if not they will be doomed man. Sometimes, it feels really tough to be a Liverpool Supporter. It feels like you are standing by a criminal who is waiting for the verdict to be passed on. But if one were to be optimistic, I foresee a very bright future ahead for Liverpool, provided these young starlets can match up or go one notch further than their Manchester City counterparts. Money is the root of evil. In the world of football.

TeeHee.

Stomach Flu Again!

Had close to 8 hours of sleep last night. Satisfying sleep? You bet. It was even better to witness the victory Chelsea had over Manchester City. One word to describe it. Sweet.

I personally detest a one horse or two horse title race. To me, it just spoils the whole meaning of competition. What is the point when you only have two teams which have the quality to challenge for the league title? Take a look at the Spanish League. In the past, they have teams like Valencia or Athletico Madrid to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona. Right now, the whole league seems to be centered around Real and Barca. It really dilutes the whole attraction of the league.

Enough of football. Today was a day like any other. After the Chelsea-Manc match, it is time for the Straits Times and my breakfast. Soon after, I switch on MioTV to watch the latest episodes of the Channel 8 dramas, Code of Honour and A Song to Remember. There are many people who like to criticise local productions and I have no idea why. The quality of local productions can never meet the standards that their overseas counterpart but I do see an improvement over the years. For example, M complained that a particular scene in the Code of Honour was too exaggerated. In that scene, Elvin Ng stayed in the air for approximately 10 seconds and within that time, he managed to execute some Kung Fu moves that resembled that of Ong Bak. People starts to say that this is a pack of bullshit and that Singapore productions are nonsensical.  If that is the case, why do these critics bother to watch Ong Bak or Hong Kong Kung Fu movies? What make these overseas productions better than the local ones? Just because such fighting scenes originated from them? 

There has always been this saying that, "If locals don't even want to help the local people, how then can the locals survive?". This phrase has been deeply etched in my mind, and I strongly feel that this is the reason why people fail to return to their roots and always look up to foreigners. Really detest such attitude, but what can I do? An individual's fight is impossible to repel the forces of globalization.

I can only hope for the change. Why? I don't like the way you are commenting on stuff. It feels very constrictive. Hopefully, you get what I truly mean and not misconstrue it...

Holidays!

A short one month break has finally arrived. It will be a good breather after this crazy semester.

I just got out of the bathroom and the first thing I want to rant is how run down my body has become. Right after my exams, I have this inflamed jaw joint. It happened it my left side of my jaw and it was the first time i have encountered an inflamed joint. This ailments only happen to old people right?!?!?!

In any case, I went to the polyclinic to do a checkup and it allayed my initial fears of a dislocated jaw ( Yes, I always like to assume the worst case scenario so as to act an insurance scheme). My aw has recovered after a few days of medication but now I am having constant headaches. Headaches that come pounding on the skull. It is really turning me off. I have no wish to see the doctor again as I do not feel like fattening their wallets. Somehow, I traced that the problem lies with my flattened pillow, which I have been using for close to 15 years, and to a considerable extent, the chill of the december weather is causing my insides to rock and roll abit.

Yesterday, I had a great meet up session with the navy pals. It was a fun session disrupted by my late arrival. Oopsy. This meet up was a small gathering before each of them jets off on their overseas trip. Egypt, Japan, Taiwan and Australia are going to be their playgrounds. Me? Holed up in this tiny island!

I have completed Rich Dad Poor Dad. A week to complete it. Shame. I received a snide remark when someone said that he read it during his secondary school days. Ouch! But hey, look! Who is the one who used up his 10K bonus payout in one shot? It is a book that everyone who is entering the adult life should read. The book gives great insight on what we should look beyond our current education system and how we should take initiative and risks in order to accomplish greater things in life. In this case, to accumulate more wealth and be financially independent ahead of everybody else. It is clear that this book is a strong advocate of capitalism and financial education, but hey, this economic ideology is bound to stay and it does not seem to fail any time within our lifetime. Great book that everyone should go get!

Alright, the headache is still here. Damn. oh anyway, i realized that I did not kept to my promise i attempting to blog every single day during my semester, It was a shame. again. Oh no! I used "shame" twice in on post. the reality is that everyone is diving into the realms of twitter-verse and Facebook-verse?, and the blogosphere is resembling the junk around the earth atmosphere. So many of them are neglected and abandoned. This somehow affects my mood in blogging. Why? Firstly, there are lesser blogs to read up and take ideas from, and secondly, only the models are blogging. Hahas! It is not realy the case of taking ideas, but rather the whole atmosphere of blogging. It is no longer there. Well, the models are still blogging, reason is simply because, people are still so "kaypoh" and interested in their pictures. Fullstop.

Ok, ta-da. Time to rest my mind... not to forget, I still have an article that I have yet to start on. It is for the school magazine!

I am starting to wonder how did I manage to blog so much in the past. Was it really in me that I was able to write so freely? or was it just a spur of an era ( secondary school to JC)?

Intense battle coming up. Hope that I can bring everything right on track again.  How things will turn out, I will just have to swallow hard and move on. Life is about constant learning, university shall not be the only way to achieve success.

Waking Up

I have no idea why I can't wake up early just to revise for my work. What is happening to me? Just damn disappointed with everything.

Realised I made a stupid mistake yesterday. Wtf. Why is it so damn hard to have faith?

Hope all turns well. Just going to get focus and complete the next 4 papers.

Hands are feeling itchy, hence, led to the creation of this post.

Exams are here again, stress is back up for grabs. Or should i say "As are back up for grabs".
The cycle is continuous and non stop.

All I want for is a significant improvement to justify the sacrifices I have made for this semester. A remarkable improvement. I need it so so badly.

A sudden sense of awakening. Reading throughout the essay of a non-ps major makes me want to push myself even harder. I do not believe that I cannot reach that standard.

Sometimes, admits all this competition, doubts starts to surface within myself. Have my academic ability dropped so much? Some people could partake in so many school activities, stay up late drinking and partying, and still, their results are among the top ranks of the cohort. Yes, that may be the minority, but there are still a huge number who can perform above the mean. For me, why do I stand lower than that? Have I not put in the necessary effort? Where did I go wrong?

Will competition taper off somewhere? Or, is it an ever-changing constant that was implanted among humans millenniums ago?

Whichever the answer is, the common advice still persists.

SUCK IT UP AND MOVE ON.
