Time does fly. It's my 100th post! As much as I would like to express my inner thoughts and feelings inside this blog, but lack of privacy is still the main thing, I do not find the idea of baring my soul and making some rude comments that amusing after all. Look at how much trouble bloggers have landed themselves in when the public expose their "dirty laundry" to all. So here..in my blog will just be chrolonogical events that only some will read.

Well, this week was quite hectic and fun. Even how much I go out, my mother will still chase me out of the house. Her reason being " get some sunlight" rather than "rotting". Sometimes I try to justify my rotting but often I just look at her with an evil smile. How contradicting it can get when school starts and she starts telling me to rest or else I will die of fatigue one day. So tell me where should I be now eh?

Being traveling..well, literally from the west to east for trainings. Is good to have a transport concession. Most of the time I disguise as a year one freshie and bond with them. Some of them are really smart..like they are scholar, doing double degree and from prestige JCs. Ask them why they choose this school and they will provide you with plenty of interesting answers.

Like one mountain is higher than another mountain..is good to upgrade oneself with new knowledge and value-added skills.

Mid this week, I was totally mad at myself and those kiasu people. Spoiling the market trend and causing great inflation. I yelled and cursed but in the end I think things always don't go as smoothly as you would want to. So ya..just treat it as a practice and gain experience.

Had a poly gathering cum celebration at Kai Wen's 21st birthday bbq party. Nice food..cool ambiance and most importantly great hospitality. I said something which I ought not to express so wrongly and I got pissed over some issues. But great thing was that I managed to curb my fiery temper. Yet another episode of me not using my brain before speaking. Can I be less bimbotic? Tsk..must improve on this aspect of social skills. Witty and conducive discussion ya LOL~

And through the media, the news that Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett had passed away brought tears to many people including shocked fans from around the world.

Perhaps MJ would be in a place called Heaven which is better than Neverland..heal the world, make it a better place. Thanks for all the nice songs you have created and the Moonwalk. And Farrah would be reuniting with Charlie as one of the angels in Heaven.

On the very next day, my dear hamster passed away too. I suspect it was cardiac arrest that took his life. Being a staunch animal protectionist, it sort of tore my heart but at least he was not put to sleep. Is just old aged. With the recent big hoo-ha over the dog call Pom Pom who is abandoned by her owner and thrown into a bin, what can I say?

Just some horrifying but amusing entertainment news..which I will not comment on. I admire her flair for flowery words. Or maybe she is in a cloak impersonating Hermione Granger? Click here

The long break has allowed me to ponder on myself. Of the things that I have done, mistakes that I have committed and things that I have experienced. I think life is a double-sided coin. There is bound to be gains and losses. While we embrace gains in life, how well do we react to losses? Situations where we fall into deep trenches. Do I swear of ill-luck, blame it on others, see it as god's punishment on me, curse of unfairness or accept it with poise and dignity? While I have something in life, I may have lost something. Of friends who will never ever able to be as acquainted with me as before, of things that have disappeared, of memories that have faded. I still regret it.

People always mention about moving on with life, to charge forward and that time will heal all wounds. But I guess it is never easy. I think I deem myself as successful when I can move on with life still remembering of the flaws, but not shunning/grimacing and instead smiling at it.

I have witnessed some of the oversea voluntary projects that my friends are executing. Some nights before I sleep with a full stomach, I wondered how many kids out there in the third world are suffering from hunger? Of the amount of food that I ate which could have make them happy and sleeping soundly. Johnny Depp mentioned that "Money doesn't buy you happiness. But it buys you a big enough yatch to sail right up to it." How far do you agree on it?

Have watched (rented) some great movies so far.


The Pursuit of Happyness - Was recommended by an enterpeneur-aspiring friend who attended Chris Gardner's seminar. A father's love for his son could achieve so much!


Twilight - A romantic vampire tale for female like me LOL~ Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen) is hot. His eyes ever so penetrating and bright. I think I am better off reading the novel instead. Fancy a blood-sucking moment from Cullen?


The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Again, Brad Pitt portrays a brilliant role as the dear old Benjamin. I felt so sad when Ben was unable to be together with Daisy. How is it like to be born as an 80 year old man and died as an infant..memories fading as you grow younger and slowly curling up as a baby on your deathbed? I think the OST by Alexandre Desplat is impressive too.



Changeling - A true story starring Angelina Jolie as the grief-stricken Christine Collin who lost her child, Walter. Blame it on the corrupted police force and the sadist who murdered young children. Christine never found her boy but was innocently deemed as psychopathic and locked up in the hospital before a trial was set.

It makes me think of it as almost similar as Sally Clark's trial where she was wrongly accused of murdering her child. This case was discussed during one of my lesson. Meadow's statistically independence theory of the 1 in 73 millions and how the Bayes' Theorem proved otherwise. And in the end...Clark was released in 2007 but was unable to recover from the aftershock of imprisonment. If you are interested and as boring as me, read on: Click Here

Sorry that I bored you with my countless rantings. On randomness, I am still waiting for them to reply. I am so impatient at this moment..I feel so unfulfilled.

Had a nice dinner treat at Sushi Tei yesterday with YJ, HJ, QY, KW, YC, JP & Jas. Is a long time since all of us gathered together to have a meal and chat, but yes the fun is still there. Shop around and the gals had Mac ice cream after that. I could not eat..how sad it is. Then most of them head home/work while the remaining few of us headed to St James for partying time. Waited at the entrance for almost an hour before the bouncer let us in.

R&B to the max and could not get high enough for the correct beat as equivalent to trance. Music at Boiler room was good with the live band gigs, but music from Lady Gaga did not appear until quite late at the dance floor at power house. Bf and his crazy gang of people were quite high that night and the dance floor was super packed..and I smelled BO!! I am a hygeine freak and and that explains my abhor for BO.

Well, some reflection and thoughts that erupt on my mind. I was browsing through the book I bought for HJ and I read this phase "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith". I am not a Christian but this phase has appeared many times in obituaries. The meaning as described in the book truly inspires me. Another thing is..I am happy as long as you are happy and I know that you indeed are. To salvage the flaws of the past is just a deceit and a craving that is unnecessary of. Period.

I still need more sleep..RAWRS! Two more weeks of mugging and I am free. Suddenly, I do not know how to mug and use my time efficiently. I am so used to the fast pace at school that given this break, I do not know how to handle it well.

The last lesson on Thursday left a huge impact on me. The speech by prof and head TA left me speechless and to ponder deeply on what I should do for the rest of my years there. The choices and decision you made and the goals in life. Obviously people are so familiar with the term "goal", but what does it truly mean? It makes me reflect on how underachieving I am and if others could do it too, why not me? In fact, I have given myself too much excuses and reasons to not be a perfectionist and to slack for a bad cause.

After mugging, will be my road trip to M'sia with team mates. Work hard then play hard.
