Desperate... 27/02/09

I'm super desperate now... My FYP is in a mess...

Was trying to look for a desperate picture but all i got was this. Ya, go ahead and laugh.

Too much of something... 26/02/09

I had 3 bowls of ramen for dinner...

I'm not going to eat ramen for the next 3 weeks...

The thought of it makes me puke...

不能说的秘密(part 2)... 25/02/09

I just learnt a lesson, the hard way...

No one is to blame but if one has to be incriminated, i guess it's me. I should have known better than to spill the beans. Ha... Moment of rashness? Absolutely! If I have chosen to talk it over to ... , I believe things would have been much different. Do I regret telling it all? Absolutely.

Clearly, I have realised exoneration through the invlovement of others doesn't work for me. I will not commit the same mistake twice; I will not speak of certain things ever again.

"We are the masters of the unsaid words, but slaves to those we slip out."

I just wanna close the chapter as we have agreed; never to bring it up again. Thank you!

Up early to try to get my assignment done!

Oh! Thanx to Mich, I have rekindled my affection towards Yiruma's music. I actually burnt a CD of his songs...

Very soothing...

Been a week... 20/02/09

Been one hell of a week!

I can't remember sleeping much. Been running around between school and home. Spent most of my time rushing to finish fabricating my device so that I can take some measurements. It's scary to even think about it man...

I just the late-nights and lack of sleep have caused the pimple outbreak on my face. Argh!

ANyway, I had quick a nice break; lie on my bed and listening to 92.4fm with my door closed. Yup! It's my simple treat to myself for enduring and staying alive at the end of this week.

Got to start on my assignment which is due on this SUnday. I should get my arse going. Oh! And I got to go to sch tmr for FYP too! Haiz...

Too tired... 19/02/09

Yes, I'm just as tired again.

Haha...

Appreciative... 16/02/09

I am beginning to have second opinions about my bro...

We ordered Mac delivery the day before and I was pretty amazed by his attention towards small details. For your infor, I was busy on the phone last night when he offered to order Mac for supper. Since I was busy, I wrote on a piece of paper my order, "Mac Nugget Meal."

When I was finally off the line, my brother came over with the money and grumbled, "Loafer... Pay me $5 bucks for your meal hor..." Haha... Thereafter, we got into a friendly sparring of the tongues for I was pretty determined to fleece on him.

The delivery arrived not long after and I brought the food over to his room. I thought he had long forgotten the money when he started off again. "Pay me the money leh. Pump so much petrol and be an ahmad to your friends right?!"

Haha... After a brief grumbling, I decided to give him as I returned to him room with the money. As I was about to leave with my "feast", he said, "Take your iced tea. Don't take my coke."

FYI, I have been the one ordering Mac for dunno how many years and I am pretty amazed to learn that my brother actually knows my preference towards iced-tea than to fizzy drinks.

In summary, I'm appreciative.

Oh! I will leech on him another time!

Real Funny... 15/02/09

Thank you...15/02/09

Here's a note to YOU for your words of encouragement. YOU know who YOU are. Thanx for being there when I'm in need, and forgiving me when I'm not there when all YOU wanted was just a meal.

My own edition of V day... 14/02/09

I was sporadic enough to suggest going for a jog at MacRitchie Reservoir on V day itself. So here I am with my friend. Nice jog and run though.

Met my fren for simple lunch at the food market at Zion Road before making our way to Esplanade. Great company and fun as usual. I think my friend got a shock from my voracious appetite.

Happy V day to all! Cheers!

Friday the 13... 13/02/09

It is Friday the 13th. Interesting...

Had a rough day in school. Everything is in a mess. I need get things straightened out ASAP...

Anyway, had a nice dinner with Lorraine. Was too preoccupied with my thoughts on the eventful encounter earlier in the day that pretty much made me lose my appetite. We settled for Jia Xiang Mian and Haagen Daaz ice-cream dessert thereafter. Had a great chat as usual.

Oh! I managed to catch up with a folk as well. Been ages man. Haha... Thank for the treat too! I had a great time!

"Hei Keith! Hope you are feeling better already. It is WEEKEND haha... Time to do

all kinds of funny things like swimming naked hahaha.... Say hello to Lorraine haha"

Haha... Nice to hear from Harri again! =) Yes, it is weekend but I will NOT be swimming naked anytime soon or rather, ANYMORE. Haha...

Happy Valentine to all! Cheers!

I'm so tired...12/02/09

Had dental check-up today so, I won't be eating well for the next few days...

Met my prof and was told that the data I got doesn't seem to be of use and that I have to redo my fabrication process. Haiz... Given the limited time, I really doubt it is possible.

Anyway, I think the job market is really bad. What can I do?

Oh... had dinner with my friends at 211 Cafe at Holland Village. Nice cosy place. I even though it was kind of romantic in the night. I had spaghetti Marinara and clam chowder soup. Er... I spent about $40 in all, partly because I didn't take back my change of about 4 bucks.

I'm really tired and I wanna sleep and worry about my FYP tmr.

Super zonked... 11/02/09

Haha... Pictures courtesy of my classmate. Clearly he is in a pretty disruptive mood for the day.

Anyway, I'm so zonked from the FYP work and I have yet to finish.

Still, I'm happy.

Million thanx to Lorraine for her help despite having me held at "cover letter point".

I will remember this date: 11/02/09

Ya, I've made my choice...

I guess that's it...

The odyssey... 11/02/09

I've finally voiced out what is in my heart; the very issues that I have plaguing me since the start of the year. I am speechless over the responses that I have gathered from my correspondent. And, I have finally come to terms with "the ball is in your court." 

Was really perturbed but I have seen it coming anyway. Haha... I'm just the type that needs it to be spelled out in my face.

Whatever the case is, I can only ponder what is my next course of action from now.

Like I've said, "I'm just grateful for everything." And, I appreciate the frank replies. It does feel reciprocated now.

知己... 10/02/09

知己知彼百战百胜

不知己知彼一败一胜

不知己不知彼百战必败

I think a great deal of effort is being put into the understanding of oneself. For example, the study of "self" has spawned a whole branch of study known as "Psychology". It is a social construct that forms the fundamental building block of human beings. An understanding of it is of paramount importance, for that is the very main trait that differentiates each and every individual of us. 

I have always believed in the need to understand oneself, either by one's observation of his or hers actions and behaviors or by interacting with the closed ones around. I am an advocate of the latter and that is why I do question my friends around me, every now and then. Of cause, there are occasional feedback which I do receive w/o approaching and I do appreciate them too (like how I smell at times... haha).

From what I have gathered, I can firmly conclude that I am someone who is highly sporadic, spontaneous, random, erratic, insistent, and the list goes on... I doubt there is anyone with the capacity to accommodate all of my eccentricities. So pls try me if you think you have the propensity to.

I've always told my friends how non-conforming I am towards a society that adores conformity. Though many grimace at that statement, there is a certain degree of truth in everything I say, or at least that's what I hope to do.

Oh! I forgot to add, I think I brood too much as well, coz I seem to be hearing that quite many times recently. All I want to say is that, if I do not care, I won't commit my limited brain cells to them in the first place. 

P.S. : Lorraine what kind of theme is this man!? Haha... 

臭男人...09/02/09

"...U r so determined n persistent. A never give-up attitude."

Ha... This was what I have received given my usual sporadic and spontaneous self... I'm still wondering if there's any bad connotation attached to it, but I think there is this tinge involved.

I've really come to understand how accommodating some of my best folks have become; like having me over for dinner at the last min. And, I do appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. =)

I guess not everyone is just as receptive as my folks when it comes my wayward behaviors. Haha... One thing I am very certain, I am not as random towards just everyone. If you haven't come to term with it, you are one of the privileged few. Haha...

Was pretty puzzled when I was being told that if I don't decide on the plan, my friend would be booked. Hym... Somehow, it seemed to suggest that I was the one being indecisive and busy one. Haha... In fact, I have pretty much pushed away my day's worth of plans just because a plan was made, or at least that's what I reckoned. So instead of making me commit to the plan, wouldn't be more logical to commit urself before another last min and impromptu plan comes along? If you get what I mean...

Honestly, I was seriously looking forward to this Sat. Haha... For one moment, I thought it is going to be a different one and was highly anticipating it. 

Lesson learnt: No expectation = no disappointment.

P.S: The title was due to my friend's comment which I thought was pretty "Interesting". Haha...

ETQK

*Yawn*... I'm so hungry. Haha...

Detached... 09/02/09

I'm feeling so cold in NUS' computer lab. Despite having a long sleeve shirt on, I can't stand the cold; my hands are so numb. Ha... The room is like a freezer man!

Was just reading one of my folks' blogs. It suddenly occur to me that I have been missing out on the lives of some of best folks. Ha...

Nevertheless, friends will always be friends. 

Oh! The sudden change in plan got me to the gals' hostel for my much needed dinner; fried rice.

Thanx for having me and of cause, accommodating my sudden and impromptu popping by.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haha... As I am writing this entry, I can't helping but to think about what my friend commented the day before. I was told that I think too much and easily distracted. Come to think of it, I do agree on the former but the latter? Haha... I was just thinking of the possible scenarios that might happen in near future and I really do wanna consider the aftermaths of each and every actions that I take. I guess this might be seen as hinderance to some. 

Anyway, I should stop bumming!

Tired... 08/02/09

Had a tough day doing FYP as usual. Haiz...

Not really looking forward to this week as I have tonnes of work to be done. But i'm really wondering how I am going to spend my V day. Ha...

Anyway, had a nice chat with my friend. I'm really happy with whatever it is going. And, I reckon I do think a little too much at times. I will work on it. =)

Oh! I should really watch the way I spend my money nowadays. I'm so BROKE...

Is this a Date?... 07/02/09

Yes, it was another impromptu meeting as usual.

Haha... Had a great time in the late afternoon before making our way to Golden Mile Shopping Centre for a shot at some Thai food. Haha... Yes, you read me, Thai; spicy food. I can never imagine myself trying on some Tom Yam soup. For those that know me, my stomach can hardly contain a Zinger Burger so needless to say, Tom Yam sounds like a suicide itself. 

Well, glad to say, the soup turned out well. In fact, I kind of love the taste. Sour and of cause, spicy. It is just like the Katong Laksa. After trying it, I realised it is actually very nice. I guess I should be more adventurous towards my taste buds.

Went on to Vivo for some window shopping. Saw a Blue T shirt, simple looking one from River Island. Not too ex, I am still contemplating on getting it. And there's also the pullover from GAP that costs over $100 bucks. Anyway, they are all just wants. I shall control myself. 

My voracious appetite took us to some big prawn mee at some a Cantonese stall along Keong Saik Street. near Chinatown. It is actually quite famous and I reckon the reason why; the food was ambrosial. 

Ride back home was swift but highly entertaining. Haha... Had a wonderful time as usual.

I'm going to get changed and head down to school. Getting worried over my FYP. Sharks...

Memorable night... 06/02/09

Had a rather "simple" dinner; about 12 prawns, a bowl of rice and a bowl of vermicelli before setting off to meet my friend at 9pm. 

Couldn't quite decide where to go so I suggested 2 places, the beach or the TCC at Keppel Bay. I'm so glad we went for the former. I've always wanted to visit the beach in the night - to enjoy the sea breeze, enjoy the splashing of waves up the shore and to just immerse myself in the serenity of the beach at night. But it seems like everyone is too busy so I am really grateful when my friend agreed to it. Needless to say, my friend's presence made the whole trip more memorable. 

Had a go with Hoegaarden before taking a short stroll down the beach. Wish I could stay there a while longer but we had to leave for a show in town. Was quite taken aback by my friend's sporadic-ness but rest assured, it was well-received for I have been missing out on the movies lately.

In summary, I had a wonderful and memorable night. I finally get to go to the beach with my...

Grateful and delighted...

The "Heart" entry... 05/02/09

My heart almost skipped a beat when I saw a SMS earlier on in the day. Ha... Honestly, I was pretty excited. I wished I was the fortunate one lah... DUH!? Haha... Whatever the case is, I'm just grateful for everything and I couldn't ask for more. Or can I!?

Had a call from my friend too. She's asking me for some LOVE advice. Haha... Do I look like a love guru? Wahahaha.... Though I do have a good track record for hooking my friends up, I'm seriously not the best person to approach when in need for a lending ear to LOVE affairs. Haha... Still, it was a nice chat with my friend though. I wish her luck in her pursuit for...

Thanx for coffee! Cheers!

ETQK

I'm sorry I can't be of much help... 04/02/09

The title says it all...

Feel pretty useless after hearing my friend's predicament...

Wish I could be of more help other than just lending a hearing ear if it is taken in the frst place...

But I know he do just fine.

My prof just dropped me a huge bomb... 

Hitachi is back... 03/02/09

I've always had a great affinity towards MacDonald's. I can remember fondly how my Mum, together with my elder brother and I, would share a fillet while waiting for my Dad to knock off from work at orchard. 

Oh! I would always tell my friends that I have shares in MacDonld's given the countless patronage that I have done over the years. Haha...

Anyway, did some FYP work in school today and was surprised it ended pretty early. Decided to go home and finish up some work before heading back down to school again for my lecture from 6-9pm.

Felt pretty bad to literally drag my friend along for a quick meal at the MacDonald's. Well, all I can say is that I appreciate it for my friend was clearly pretty zonked.

Hym... I reckon Hitachi is back; had my dinner at ~5pm and I was hungry at 9pm (not to mention that I am starving as I am typing this entry). I wonder if it is for the good/bad.

After reading this entry this far, I believe you are pretty clueless with what I wanna say. Don't worry coz I myself do not know what is the message that I wanna convey.

There seems to be many thoughts running through my mind. I don't quite know what to expect. For one moment I thought I had it, and then I seem to have lost it all. 

Oh! Ms Veron and Lorraine, I'm dead BROKE.

Me and my twisted philosophy... 02/02/09

Had dinner at Lavender Food Market. Brings back tonnes of memories. Ha... Had the famous wanton noodle, cheese pancake, fried oyster cake and qing1 teng1.

The ride back home was fast and it was interesting how one talk leads to another.

Seems like I should really revise my twisted philosophy when it comes to friends. I was quite taken aback when my friend commented in a similar fashion as with my other folks on certain issues. And FYI, I do value your opinions. Hym...

It did take a while to muster the courage to finally pop the question. I never felt that right before and I wonder when will I get that feeling again. I can only hope. Honestly, somewhere through the conversation, I did feel my eyes welling... Ha...

But it was a good conversation. I sincerely appreciate the offers that are put forth. Once again, I'm just thankful for everything.

ETQK

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh! I heard a rather interesting comment from Lorraine's friend. Haha... That's pretty flattering. Haha... Thanx!

Long day tmr. 

"Thank you"... 01/02/09

It was a great afternoon and I am glad my spontaneous and sporadic suggestion was well-received.

Excellent dinner, probably because I was famished due to the "exercise" done.

Oh! See these oranges?! Haha... Just look at the size of the one on the left! It's huge! Haha... Must be genetically-enhanced oranges...
Haha...

--------------------------------------------------------------

Just wanna thank YOU for being so accommodating like going behind the wheel... and, humming to tunes that are so alien to you but yet so familiar to me. Didn't really spell out my appreciation towards your willingness to adapt to my uniquely unique tastes and preferences, but I do honestly appreciate the effort put in.

Like I've said, "Though seemingly different yet similar in many aspects".  

The willingness to understand and adapt is just one of the similarities... 

Cheers!

Secondary School gathering... 31/01/09

Had a wonderful dinner with my Secondary School bandmates. Haha... It's really funny as out of the table of 5 gals, 4 of them used to hold a torch for me. Haha... So flattered! Haha...

Too bad I had to leave early when 3 other schoolmates came. Would love to catch up wit

h them in near future if the opportunity arises.

Oh! Apologies to Veron for not showing up at her place as promised. Ha... I had another appointment made.

Btw, I visited the Marina Barrage. It's actually quite a nice place, though many of my friends seem to suggest otherwise. I guess the company that you are with is of paramount importance, if YOU get what I am driving at. I had a wonderful time when I was there. Think my friend suggested bringing me to that dunno what restaurant at the top of Westin Standford. Just to quote what was said, "I've been there so many times that I am sick of it..." Er... I have never been there man... Haha...

Too bad my Olympus camera didn't manage to capture any justifiable shots of the beautiful scenery over at the Barrage. I would love to post some of them onto my blog. 

The stroll along the Marina Promenade after a brief tea session was great. I reckoned my other folks would have grumbled if I made them walk the distance that I covered. Haha... Great to have someone with the propensity for walking. Haha...

Interesting night as usual. =)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

There you have it. This is I, me and myself. Feel naked after bearing it all? Absolutely!
