never was
not feeling too good, getting the usual mood swings,think its because of lack of sleep again. lack of sleep because of stupid module that's eating up my holidays. argh, feeling unstable now, im like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. but there's no timer to it, i guess im not ticking, im juz a normal grenade, explode on impact (of coz those guys out there would prolly correct me that the singapore standard grenade explodes after 6 secs) so maybe im more like a land mine. and i'll shure as hell blow off whoever's legs are stepping on me... so the bottom line is.. wear gortex boots..

fat lady concert
finally, the long awaited concert by the fat lady will be held tmr at nayang audit at 12 noon. i heard its going to be a great one. got my tickets and ready to party. for those who are at a lost to what im saying... my exams end tmr!!! muahahahah, at long last. but got a feeling its going to be anti climatic again, as usual. its always like that aint it, we always rush and rush thru the school term and then exams seem to take forever to finish, and when they do, there's no direction anymore, or there's nothing to look forward to. then the whole cycle starts again.
okies before i forget, who's on's for zouk out on 4th dec?? its at sentosa tanjong beach, i usually don't appeal to ppl to go thru blogs, but errr im desperate coz i really wanna go, so those who are interested, lemme know!!

the road has been long
yes yes, this post is a whiny one again, it seems like eternity and my dreaded papers are still not over!! im losing steam by the moment, i think those who find themselves in the same position as me (no not 69..) will totally agree with me. just cant seem to concentrate on whatever im reading anymore, which is bad, cos the nxt 2 papers are actually quite important, if i dont clear them, i can extend my stay in ntu by half one more semester ready. oh wells and they are my least confident paper. ok shan't bore you with more whiny stuffs.
on an interesting note, do you realise that the most 'copied' design of a tshirt is the survivor one?? where they have an oval, then haf whatever picture inside and the 3 words out______ out_____ out______ (fill in the blanks, like outcopy, outlame and outcliche). was in the exam hall when the guy digaonally in front of me wore exactly a tshirt like that, and it juz dawned upon me that i think countless camps/events/commitees have tshirts with exactly this design.
seriously, what were they thinking? i mean, probably when the show first came out, it was ok.. nah it wasn't, its a lame show, and i don't see whats so interesting bout seeing ppl backstab each other on tv. if i wanted to do that, i'll juz hang out in any office more. heck, even i can do a better job. ok no offence to whoever reads this and had design an ugly shirt like that, i hope u realise ur mistake and being people with big aorta pumps (thats a heart in case you goondoos dunno what im saying), we truly forgive you, just don't go down the road of making that mistake again. in fact if any of the orientation comm people are reading this, better not come out with this stupid design although our theme is tribal, i'll be the first to rip out your guts, then jump down from my level 6 penthouse, cos i cant take the torture of wearing such a hideous tshirt.

in the mood
oh wells, its 3am in the morning and i've just finished abit of another topic of my dreaded exams. and decided to listen to some christmas songs. well its nice and quiet cept to get me into the chrissy mood. its shure offers something to look forward to in the midst of my darn exams. well everybody i know, ok most are finishing soon cept me and its sucky to have to stay here all by myself. (i don't wanna be.. all by myself anymore -celine dion)
oh wells, in fact i shud have a drink, a sort of toast to myself.. but its late, and i still need to wake up in the morning to carry on the long and winding road. so i guess i'll juz leave it as that, more chrissy songs and im on my way to la la land!
something bout those little pills unreel the thrill they yield until they kill a million brain cells.

i do think that exams screws up the well being of your body, in case you don't already agree. for starters, one does nothing but eat,sleep and study which is a very passive activity requiring no strenuous action other than stretching to reach to the fridge from your chair 10m away to get a chocolate treat or soft drink.
also, it makes one very irritable, at least for me. have been super annoyed at the slightest things and very prone to sudden anger bursts. this is probably due to the fact of the lack of sleep that is usually caused by exams.
and the most annoying thing, is that it screws up your langauge abilities! as one can read from my many previous posts, the english is really atrocious and my gp teacher (neeta singh) would prolly kill me. alrite alrite, its juz an excuse, my english has been bad since adam was born and i guess it will be till kingdom come. and also great thanx to ian for always pointing my bad engrish out..
alrights, something more light hearted, a girl walked into the exam theatre today all flustered and rushed and trying to find her seat but then couldnt find her name in the master list. then she pulled out her own timetable and showed the invigilator, saying this is hall b and this number, but she cant find her name. then the invigilator looked at her and said 'dear today is the 9th' and she juz blurted 'shit' plus many 'sorrys' and walked out. comic relief before the start of the paper.. lovely..

poly student my ass
i guess in reponse to my post earlier on, some smart alec company actually went to poll some smarties in the academic field to do a survey on the top universities in the world. alright, im flattering myself, im sure its not in response to my gribes, but still it shure came in a good timing to shut me up i guess?? what can i say? nus is 18th and ntu is 50th. and don't get me started on smu
am i that crazy to get upset over school rankings?? of coz not!! totally could swallow that.. now this is what im pissed with:
so newpaper today ran an article describing the various universities and their 'type'. so apparently, ntu students are comparable to poly students, and our fave accessory is the laptop (hey i like my toshiba sat pro very much thank you!) but poly students??!! don't everybody dress in jeans and tshirts?? don't tell me nus or smu students wear suits and prom dresses for lessons?? plus plus plus from their earlier articles, its evident that our students obviously wear fbts (yes max and beth, thats you!!) and lok kok hall tshirts or singlets. and i don't remember poly students having the freedom to wear that.
well the nxt part really makes me mad, in the list of places where nus students are most commonly found: velvet underground. and ntu students?? mohd sultan!! what the.. i mean im definitely shure that the ntu and nus students are equal in this area, juz because they have law ppl doesnt mean they would be at velvet?? i thought there's an age limit (more than 18) to that anyway?? and they forget we haf the very savvy students of communications and information!! unless of coz communications and info students don't consider themselves as part of ntu, its quite evident from the way they operate, they are like an entity of their own. but still i like to think their part of ntu, coz i also wanna be considered cool!! stomps feet and pouts LOOK AT ME!! IM SO COOL... WHEE WHEE WHEE WHEE WHEE
and im spent.. (ermm u folks out there need not point out the fact that computer engineers and fun/cool/happening don't go together..)

another article
well this one is more bo liao, refer to straits times interactive article titled myanmar teen charged for illegal entry (i don't think i can link it, cause now sti needs you to be registered.. ). to summarise, basically this guy was caught swimming from m'sia to s'pore, and i quote, "The 19-year-old youth became the 200th illegal immigrant fished out of Singapore waters by authorities this year",
so does that mean he wins a prize?? i mean it'll be darn farnie if they gave him a voucher from SAFE superstore or something, like 'congrats! u are the 200th illegal immigrant, for that you get a 20 dollar voucher from SAFE superstore'. but knowing the law it'll prolly sound like this, 'congrats! you are the 200th illegal immigrant, for that u win a free stay for 6 months in changi chalet and 3 strokes of ur favourite s&m torture device'
which brings me to the next point, i quote again," Police said the man, whose name was not released, could be sentenced to six months in prison and three strokes of the cane if found guilty of illegal entry. ", if found guilty???!! this guy's caught SWIMMING across from m'sia to s'pore, i don't think he did it for leisure (unless he's from smu of cos), dunno isit the police guy or the journalist guy that said that, but i dunno, is there some 'not guilty until proven so' statements that muz be said? but i mean the proof's pretty obvious right?? unless he can claim that he deided to go for a long swim in he's myanmar home town and end up paddling he's way here.. oh well what do i know, im juz a computer engineer. better to ask lao pok.

errggghh
was going to blog about something, but on the way to the blogger site, my default homepage, straits times interactive showed something that caught my attention. apparently the missing little girl was found... dead, in a crammed and taped up box, and the body was already decomposed, and naked. just shows how many sick ppl there are in the world. God rest her soul, napkin man is disgusted..
