While you party
You've been looking
But your searching never ends
You've been going
With the wrong crowd
You've got all the right friends

Estne volumen in toga, an solum tibi libet me

"Is that a scroll in your toga, or are you
just glad to see me?"
You're smooth, okay, but you also need a
girlfriend. Bad.

bartending 101
if you are fortunate enough to have bottles of liquour, wine or beer readily available and you wanna mix yourself a drink, do take note of a couple of points. if you are under 18, don't read this go to sleep or click on one of the less provacating links on the right. those under alcohol fasting should take this in light hearted manner.
ok firstly, consider whats the purpose of mixing that drink. for the general purpose of juz chillin while reading blogs, a small bottle of wine (like those served on planes) or a 330ml can or bottle of beer (heineken only) is the easiest way to go. just open and enjoy. however if you happen to find yourself in a situation where, there's no beer or wine in hand, because u ran out, or because you have no $$ to get it from nanyang supermart, do a search around the area to see if there's that old bottle of liquor (children under 18 still reading this are strongly discouraged from doing this) that your dad stashed away or something. if you find one, preferbly less hardcore stuff like vodka/barcardi/whisky/ all is not lost!! next thing to do is to find a mixer (note mixer is anything non-alcoholic and water is not recommended unless you are 40 and above) like sodas or fruit juices (tonic water not recommended also, unless you are mambo going ah beng)
generally the rule is to pour the liqour in before the mixer (thats how clubs do it), so estimate well in the absence of a shot glass, and keep the portion less than one shot (if you don't wanna get high, and it sux getting high without indie boy around). however, if u are a moron like me, who likes to pour in the cranberry juice first, remember more vodka doesnt mean more kick. it just means u get high faster and if you still want to carry on doing some productive stuffs (like c++) do not be greedy . just a little will do, just to add the tangy feel to it. also, too much will cause getting up the nxt morning to be a bitch.
well i will not go into detail on what you should do if your purpose is for getting high/drunk/wasted. the rule of thumb is more *beer/wine/liqour* = more high/drunk/wasted.

Face to the ground to hide the fatal cut.
I fight the weight, feel you lift me up.
I can't deny it burns me up inside.
I fan the flames to melt away my pride.
I only had a second to spare, but all the time in the world to know you're there.
You are the shelter from the rain and the rain to wash me away.

a lil excitement in our boring town
well apparently it seems like 3 armed robbers have landed on tekong. click here to read more bout it. few things run through my head. firstly, they landed on an island with 5000 millitary personnel, regardless if their fully trained or not. of cos one could argue that the island is so big and hugely forested, probably take long time to find them.but ultimately they'll be cornered right?? also, i wonder if they'll stumble into sispec or bmt for a canteen break.. haha!! but lastly, my imagination started to run wild!! i was just wondering if i would be activated had i still been in the force. i guess its abit scary yet exciting, i mean 2 and a half years of training, at least i get to do something so real, but then again, i'll probably shit my pants if i get into a fire fight. news reports claims reconnaissance troops were deployed too.. hooray!! thumbs up for brcs!!(sorry, army pride doesnt mean shit to anybody now.. haha). oh ian made a good point about singapore deploying 700 men to find 3 ppl.. but ian i think with 30000 people doing nothing in camps all over the island anyway, whats 700?? haha, they should have deployed everybody, then make them form one straight line shoulder to shoulder and comb the area huh
in other interesting news: brian and morg, i found skelter!! but its in an unknown language.. probably chinese or something.. haha!

ok i'm done with my tutorials for tmr, so basically im quite free, just gotta settle if im going to the lab tmr to take more readings!! else i'll just come back during my 4 hr break to take a wlll deserved nap. that is if i manage to wake up for lecture in the morning in the first place.. i really hope i do, sick of skipping lessons. so what started out as going to be a shagged week manage to shape itself together.. the wonders of putting ur trust in where it shud belong...
well havent started on this week's dosage of programmin, its a killa one, but i do trust that it'll fall together too!!after all that stuff that happened 2 weeks back with my lab test. i really thot i was gonna fail it, cos of rubbish algorithm. but thru all graciousness of the Almighty, i manage to get an a-, sometimes he just throw surprises at u aint it, esp when u're most undeserving of it. and my fren who helped me alot got an a+, praise God!!! well its things like this that gives us, well probably a glimmer of hope that "hey things aren't that bad after all"... have u got ur blessing today??
in other news: we are on frontallabs!!! check out the gallery under the u.n.k.l.e event!! whoo hoo!! hope we appear on juice too!!

lurve of jiat sai
i figured the reason why i get myself into shitty situations all the time is because i have the tendency to put myself there in the first place!! well for example.. now!! its 230 in the morning and im still up doing nothing productive in particular (for all u die hard bloggers , ok this might seem productive to u). and i resolve to wake up early tmr to do tutorials.. seems quite unattainable...
but in any case, u find cranberry juice in ur fridge, u find vodka on ur shelf, what do u do?? make urself a nice cup of vodka cranberry rite?? lurve it lurve it lurve it... and max!! if u're reading this, don't tempt me to go mambo!!!!! but haf fun anyway.. haha!!

make or break fest ii pre games review
as the participants arrive in the games village, we caught up with some of the atheletes and coaches during their preparations and training sessions.
we first went over to the college of engineering to see what the situation is like there. lo and behold! the viets are still using underhand tatics!! this time they sent a player into the training area to ask questions that are uncomphrehensible to the rest of the field. in a game where speed, time and usage time of venues are important, this has greatly hampered the concentration of the other participants.
china has been keeping a low profile during their duration here, we are hoping they will pull a stunner during the actual games, for now we leave them to be their secretive self.
india has been heating up their preparations too, sending lots of indian coaches to the school of computer engineering for the year 1 category in the events of data structures and electronics ii.
the singaporean contigent pales in comparison by far. for starters, the number of participants to the games this time round has greatly been reduced. this is due to the fact that many do not qualify after last year's games. worse still, partcipants are still wondering what events they are taking part in, and what are the fundamentals of their discipline. clearly it seems they are not going to win much first class honors this year.
alright thats all from me, napkin man here at the pre games review. do stay tune in april for the games, we do hope to see you there.. for now... tata

yes i do lurve coffee but...
well, i had 3 coffees today, 2 i consumed and 1 nicely poured over my 3/4s, bag, notes and best, my favourite trucker cap (sorry stallion!!) ;yuen). well i totally didnt see that one coming. was in the wonderful world of fourier transform (see also totally boring and non understandable crap) and boy was i paying attention, well for once i was super attentive.. then it came.
dunno my fren dozed off or what, but he knocked he's nice cup of 60 cents (okie plus another 5 cents for the cover) over.. whoo hoo!!! i almost thought i saw it in slow motion. yeah and he was apologising all over.. but i'm not pissed or anything lar, juz felt amused... but its quite a pain washing my cap, and bag (gotta activate mum this weekend, wish there was a mobilisation thingy like on tv with a mum figure on it with the codeword: trucker cap) and having to re-print my notes again. plus this hour i wanted to spend it doing my tutorials so i can see my beloved c++ tonight.. haiz..
i think im not allowed to pay attention in lecture even if i want to.. *sigh* =yuen(.

post party review
the lowdown: a heineken green room session invite to u.n.k.l.e at velvet. nite out with the guys, gals and most beautiful people who lurves that green bottle of fizz. well ntu's cac (cultural activity club) was having their bash nxt door over at zouk, and apparently anchor (yux) was having an event with mc yen of l.m.f taking the decks at phuture. so jiak kim street probably contained more people than a local s-leauge game last night. (or is this always the case??)
the good:
-the duo played "in a state" 3 times
-they dished out underworld's born slippery (hope i got tis correct)
-they then spun everybody's favourite tune, clocks!! by coldplay
-the climax gotta be when they mixed u2's "where the streets have no name"
-managed to visit zouk for awhile, got there juz when they started "summer rain" and "mony mony"
-the bottle of green fizz was flowing.. and all around!!! lovely!!
the bad:
-the duo played "in a state" 3 times
-the place was freakin packed..
-where were our people??!! didnt see them for a majority of the nite
-lastly, indie boy wasnt there.. pity doode, but we'll party harder nxt time!!
bottom line:me thoughts unkle was trip hop, fortunately they amused us with a good mix last nite.. nxt up, heineken music elevation 245 feat jazzanova, but won't be able to make it.. aniwei go get ur heiny memberships today!!!
now playing: sasha, global underground... forgotten how good ol trance is like..whee!!!
