i feel disgusted. after seeing how someone's MSN nick has changed over the past couple of days, i really am. i don't know how to explain it. it feels like you're talking to some xiao mei mei (xmm) on the instant messaging service. like she's trying to act cute by typing in such a manner that may attract other guys but definitely not me. aiya, fuck, why am i even bothering.

our class just got awesome news that productivity-man won't be our mechanics 2 + class tutor! it's still gonna remain as kapotine (spell check?), so yes, same old, same old. you should have seen our reaction when we got the call from kapotine - epic and thoroughly emotional. lol.

so here's the long-but-still-quite-short story: kapotine called john a few days back, informing us that mr. productivity was gonna be our new mech 2 + class tutor. upon hearing the news, we were horrified. we were frustrated. we were... just feeling oh-so-shitty (shan't elaborate on the reasons). but just today, wonderful news came in! that the change was cancelled! we literally jumped for joy and screamed our hearts out. it was such a refresher, i thought i could have gone on and on for another several hours of CEM, LOL.

26October2008; The day the Fortress fell.

LIVERPOOL HAS DONE IT! TODAY IS THE DAY THE HOME RECORD OF STAMFORD BRIDGE IS BROKEN!
Score at full-time: Liverpool 1 - 0 Chelsea

WOOOOTSSS!!! This is fucking solid proof to those naysayers who say Liverpool needs Torres to win. Blahblahblah. We may love the El Nino, but it doesn't necessarily mean we need him to win. Oh and did I forget to mention, we had more chances than Chelsea? Hahaha.
Okay, enough of celebrations, I thought Chelsea put up a great fight as well and Alonso's goal had a little bit of luck behind it. BUT WHO CARES LOL. The result is all that matters.

Okay after watching that exhilarating match, I REALLY feel like playing field soccer. Crappp.

Didn't have the usual street soccer session in the morning, and I'm DYING to seriously kick some balls and score some goals.

Liverpool just made an absolutely thrilling comeback AGAIN earlier on against Wigan. The match nearly gave Liverpool's fans a heart-attack I swear, especially after watching Zaki take the lead for Wigan twice in that game. Great match really.

My legs are itching. In fact, they always do, after watching soccer matches. So yeah obviously they're itching for some action on the field. I wonder when's the next time I can kick on a pitch instead of on the court, but it's just too hard to make the numbers.
I'm also itching to play at NYP again. It's hockey pitch can be summed up with one word - shiok. But Imma try to bring my shoes the next time me and my friends do get to playing soccer there.

Watched "Max Payne" yesterday. Crappy movie. It was a waste of money and time. The plot had so many loopholes and several questions were left unanswered after the show finished. There were too many climaxes during the course of the movie, and any one of them could have qualified as an finale to the entire show itself, but then a twist occurs out of the blue, and I was thrown back into the story, confused.
Overall rating: 2/5 (a little credit for some amazing CG incorporated and a good setting)

ohh ohh, i'm not dead yet. not really ready to give in to my reluctance to blog, lol.

first week of school... has been rather, interesting and funny. i can't really count the number of times my funny bone was tickled so far.
i shall not elaborate on how one of my lecturers mispronounced my friend's name so that it sounded like buttocks in hokkien - kah chng.

i just saw a thread in the backyard asking if singapore's standard of education is dropping or not. well looking and comparing between some really old past year papers from TYS books for both the 'O' and 'A' Levels and present papers, i would say yes, but only to the extent of the standard of the exam papers. however, it's not really a similar case when it concerns content.

sometimes i look back at myself during the secondary school years, and realised how carefree and relaxed i was back then. looking at my younger brother now, the differences are rather vast. the amount of information in the textbook (especially science subjects) is so much that i don't think i could have been able to meet expectations placed by my parents upon me. yes, papers may "seem" easier to do and score, but after being "forced" (unless you don't feel like scoring well for your exams :x) to memorise all the definitions, formula, explanations, etc., coping with the overwhelming content from textbooks, notes, and such can prove to be an uphill task.

shit la, my sentence structure in this post is all wrong and my choice of words is... horrible. Lol.

well just checked my results from mysas.

semester gpa: 3.192
cumulative gpa: 3.28
ALLOWED TO CONTINUE IN THE COURSE (huge sigh of relief there)

expected this kinda results, knowing how i messed up almost all my papers except for engineering materials 2 (hehe).
can't believe i actually got C+ for rwp, i mean the online plagiarism checker is like fucked up, they even highlighted my headings and sub-headings, saying i copied from another person's report. LIKE DUH. group members having the similar headings, how wrong can that be? that online checker is bullshit; i feel that i deserved at least a B for rwp la, kanasai!

tomorrow morning - CEM results. i just don't feel good about it. haiz.

090908; why do i always unknowingly blog on such beautiful dates?

first week of holidays have passed by. it was a bad and good week.
bad because fever and co. decided to pay me a visit. the sore throat has sort of subsided but i can still slightly feel the... sore-ness of it. the fever lasted for two or actually, three days. i went to the doctor, but the only medicine i finished were the sore throat lozenges. the fever tablets were damn effective, after taking it for a couple of times i was feeling better already. i never got to taking the cough syrup yet though, because cough is supposed follow up after sore throat, and my sore throat still hasn't given up on me yet! fuck it.

there's seriously nothing to do at home. goddammit why can't i work part-time just because i'm in a contract? arghh it's not like they have LOADS of stuff to do with me during the hols. fuck it, again.

ah one might start wondering if there's any positives in my life at all. DUH. what else but soccer? no doubt i feel joyous just kicking the soccer ball, but when you see your ball cross the goal line and hitting the back of the net, the feeling's... indescribable. even if you've scored a thousand goals in your lifetime, the 1001st goal still feels very much like the first goal you have ever scored.

sometimes i fear for the future, when everybody is gonna get old and busy with work and family. will soccer be "kicked" out of the picture? will me and my friends be able to do what we have always enjoyed since our secondary school days? i don't think i can bear to give it up. soccer was what brought the boys in class together, it was and holds something everyone had in common.
i can only hope that we will not forget the value of the sport and bonds that have developed through the many years.

280808; end of exams/start of holidays and the date is such a nice number

ah, what better way to end off the examinations than with a paper which i am confident of getting at least a B grade or better. how i wish life was always this good. three cheers and a glass of champagne for mr alan tham, your tips were the best, seriously. unlike some lecturers... (read: ACC)

the exam period (2 weeks) had been a hell of a time for me. almost every paper i had was out to kill me. i actually felt depressed doing the papers. especially engineering maths 3. that was total bullshit. the past year papers were so freaking easy, you'd think they were primary school practise worksheets. even without really paying attention in class, the formula booklet and a working brain would suffice for those papers. but during the actual thing, reality gave me a wake-up call. i was thrown off-guard. i was completely in the paper's mercy. one part of me just wanted to tear up the paper so bad, even the setter wouldn't be able to recognize it if he managed to piece the bits back together. but i couldn't. i couldn't bear the see my hopes dashed right infront of my very eyes, my brain being the mastermind and hands the accomplices.

the open window seemed ever so inviting that day, calling me, to ascend (or rather, to descend) upon the pathway to freedom.

procrastination. when will i ever be able to overcome this obstacle, standing in my way to success (and a higher GPA)? even though i know all too well the responsibility lies upon my shoulders, i couldn't care less about it. i neglected it, and let it overwhelm me, until i became the lazy and half-hearted asshole of a person whose revision philosophies and principles were "last minute revision sure can one lah, steady". i've wronged myself.

i need change. will it come? i can only stand by and await its arrival. and i hope it makes a grand entrance.

170808; screw the exams and it's another short post!

yes, fuck the exams. fuck the no-study-break-which-means-i-am-so-gonna-flunk-my-papers system now. fuck the new principal. give us longer mid semester break for fuck? that means we no longer have about one or two weeks worth of time to revise for our papers. what's more, we have to complete reports and all kinds of shit RIGHT before our exams. how smart of you.
sure was a mistake on my part to procrastinate, but still, FUCK YOU! :D

a preview of how i'm gonna my semester vacations: -
  • swimming at least 2-3 times a week
  • gym once a week
  • no fucking idea right now
okay, let's do this.

050808; short post yarly

dang how i wished i had went for singfest. the atmosphere there was so crazy and high man! but i got put off by the really expensive ticket prices though... -sigh-

rwp to be in by tomorrow, i think i'm gonna be penalised very heavily for plagiarism. i mean there's like tonnes of technical terms and terminology in the info i researched on, how the hell am i supposed to rephrase those "chimology"?! gah, i'm so relieved it's gonna end soon.

like i promised, short post. heh.

-Pops champagne and flings confetti over this blog-

It's my new blog! Three cheers! :D

Okay, I was seriously bored when I decided to do up a new blogspot blog, and I dunno what the hell made me do it. For those who wanna get to know a little bit more about the guy who's typing this post right now, do move your mouse over to the left hand side of your screen and click on that link named "Previous Blog" (yeah my old blog if you're that dumb LOL).

Sometimes you just gotta love the anonymity the Internet "empowers" us with. Me and my bastard (HAHA) classmates have been busy, over the past few days, spamming a tagboard of some random blog we found when we Google-image-searched "jxx jxx". Guess the name we used for the nick.

"Hardogay". Brilliant idea by John, wonderful implementation by John, yet again! He never fails to amuse me with his antics. Nevertheless, he's a selfless guy when it comes to class participation and studies. -Pours champagne into his glass-

And so yeah, you can pretty much guess what we spammed in the tagboard. Stuff like "WATASHI WA HARDOOOGAAAYYY WOOOOO!!!" Man, I had the best laughs in like months LOL. I don't really wanna continue with the story because, anonymity on the net has its limits too. But for those friends of mine, let's celebrate, HAHAHA.

Off to D2.
