Recess Week!!!

*Releases fireworks*

The recess wk is finally here!!! Okay, there's joyful abt it, since immediately after tt, I'll be sitting for my 2nd mid-terms on [Mon] evening... *SIGH*

So, I shall make use of tt 9 days to not only revise for my 4 mods, but to complete my tutorials and any other outstanding housekeeping issues, which includes:

1. Organizing my notes and tutorials so tt they're not all over the place...
2. Get started on [ACC1006] group project...
3. Get started on [ACC1006] individual project... Okay, this is supposed be for the 2nd half of the course, but since the lecturer has already told us what to do, maybe I should attempt it 1st... Then again, this assignment is really similar to the group project which I did for [DSC2006], which involves doing a critique on research articles... Gee... Technical jargons to swallow all over... -_-"'

I haven't even include the potential group meetings tt might be scheduled for [ES2002]... But if my group members really decide to meet in sch, I would wish tt they make it on [Thurs] so tt I can @ least go bother [SL] again... LOL!!!

And I've also planned to set aside 1 day for a trip to [Far East Plaza] or somewhere in town for some shopping... Gotta really get some

1. Decent shoes
2. Decent slippers
3. More nice tops
4. Some form of hoodie or additional top tt can be worn over primary top w/o feeling like I'm being transported to the [Sahara Desert]
5. Bottom, be it jeans or shorts or pants
6. More ankle socks (This is a possibility cause I haven't even opened the 3 pairs of new socks which I've bought like 8 mths ago... -_-"')

Anyway, before i sign off, here's something tt happened to me quite some time ago, just tt I didn't really have much time to blog abt it thanks to the crazy workload tt I'm experiencing this sem...



This was what happened to my thumbdrive when I tried to insert it into the [CL]'s com abt 2 wks back... The casing just burst open... Luckily, the thing still can be read and I could still print out my notes cum tutorials...

Well, tt's all for now... Time to check out some FB stuff which [K] told me before I get some Zs... =D

Time To Get My Act Together...

I seriously have to stop [FB]-ing this excessive... By this, I really mean the gaming part, mostly... The stalking part is still relatively insignificant in terms of the time spent on it...

I'm proud to announce tt I've scaled down on my involvement in [HC] and [Farmville], so effectively, I'm only concentrating on [RC] and [CW]... Even tt involvement is really just to ensure tt the restaurant continues to run and a few other stuff... For [RC], it's to unlock dishes and to continue getting more ingredients... [CW], it's merely to prevent my dishes from turning bad and to lv. up...

With wk 4 of sch starting tml and me pratically drowning in the heavy workload, I've come to realise tt time is really of the essence and I seriously need to spend it wisely... Of course, I could be really anal here and start rambling on abt linear programming, but I guess I'll piss the hell out of [XP] another time, another day... For now, I have to strive to get a balance on work, doing the necessary non-work stuff and having some fun... Procrastination has gotta stop!!!

Well... I guess I should get started with what I've been telling myself these past few wks and really get down to managing the pics which I've taken 2 wks back as well as those tt I took yesterday...

Start Of A New Semester!!!

I used to love hols when I was little, or up till a couple of yrs back, cause I get to play all I want and there's no guilt for simply bumming around... However, everything changed the moment I completed [NS]... Now, bumming seems like an utter sin and there's this unreasonable fear of either my brain degenerating into mush or tt I'll contract the illness of old, where I simply refuse to absorb new things in my life...

Anyway, now tt sch has started, I've more stuff to occupy my time with and the best thing of all is tt I can get to see all the freshies!!! HAHA... I'm shameless to admit tt I've been looking forward to me becoming a senior so tt I can ogle @ the shuai freshies tt've decided to enroll themselves into [NUS Business School] or any other facs for tt matter... Eye candies FTW~!!!

Well, eye candies are 1 thing... Having them as friends is another and the latter is next to impossible... Which brings me to the next thing which I've been pondering abt for quite some time... Unknowingly, I've stumbled upon a few good looking guys and despite my attempts to befriend them, I still feel tt there's still a distance, as if we're merely acquaintances...

There're times when I simply feel like just giving up this mindless pursuit and simply be contented with friends tt I've made... Even though they're predominantly female, they're totally awesome and fun to be with... On the other side of the coin is my other self telling me to persevere and maybe, just maybe, I'll be rewarded... After all, it was due to pure stubbornness tt I kept clinging to [SL] and we ended up being friends...

Tt's the bright side, and after typing tt, I couldn't stop myself from considering the time and effort tt I've invested on [SL]... It took me 6 yrs... Okay, tt's totally 'wow'... Like, I need 6 yrs to make a friend??? -_-"'

I guess the facts are there and they're all not in my favour to actually try to foster some serious friendship online... Yet affairs of the heart are never logical and this is why I'm struggling... I'm too used to making rational decisions such tt asking me to follow my heart and make a choice when my brain tells me otherwise is really like throwing me from the baby pool to a shark infested ocean and expecting me to escape from the jaws of the hungry carnivorous sharks...

I believe it's time to really set some things in motion so tt I can be a better person...

Contented...

Okay, I should not let this blog (as well as all those 300+ entries) head into the bottomless pit of oblivion... After reading through [SH]'s past entries and having a laugh out of all the unglam pics of [Cass], ha~... The memories of the good old times really stirred up some feelings of nostalgia...

Perhaps when I've really got nth better to do, when I'm bored till I'm abt to rip my hair out of my scalp, I'll probably look through all the posts which I've done since sec sch, and roll my eyes @ the current state tt I'm in...

It's debatable whether I'll eventually outgrow gaming... I mean, ever since [Sec 1] when I started playing [NeoPets], I've always been playing some form of games, be it on the com or on my [PS] - which I think can no longer be functional, death by gagging on dust motes... I've definitely outgrown [NeoPets], but I'm still playing [MS] and [Audi] once in a while just for kicks and nowadays, I'm getting addicted to all the [FB] games...

I've always attributed it to the competitive side of me trying to maintain the position tt I'm in in the game, but I guess if I'm truly competitive, I would've channeled my energy to my studies instead and try to achieve an A for all my mods, which of course, isn't happening...

LOL... So the truth is, I've never learn to accept the reality of this world... I've been shutting myself out from the world tt [Popeys] @ [SG Flyer] is really a new thing and what office politics which I've seen during my [SAF] days are nth buy child play as compared to what horrors some of my colleagues faced @ [DCI] in the past...

Speaking abt [DCI], I've decided to head back to work for half a day this coming [Tue] to clear all my work instead of giving it to another colleague... I still think it's only right to take the responsibility to clear your work if you're able to before really leaving as well as not screw up too much... After all, it serves to my disadvantage if I leave with a bad rep...

I might not be good @ networking, but I sure as hell know how to stay unnoticed and not attract too much attention... =D

Ha~... I'm off to avoid reality once again by playing [SC]... Ta-ta~... ^_^

Boxing Myself In...

I'm totally lacking the motivation to do anything except to nua in front of my com, staring @ all my [FB] games and playing [SC]...

Working and getting home @ 1930 hrs is really taking a toll on me... How I wish I didn't really commit myself to working till the end of [Jul]...

Torn b/w shutting myself out and having a life... And is it really possible to act, pretend that you're unaware of something tt you already know???

Messed Up...

My vivid imagination is acting up again, causing me to be more paranoid...

Thoughts of myself balding and ballooning up are tormenting me...

The competitive side of me tt strives to keep up with [XP] in [RC] isn't helping either, as I find myself constantly telling others tt I'm rushing home just to play [RC]... Gee... Like, get a life, will ya???

Maybe I shall... As soon as actually get down to organising those 300 pics tt I've taken so far for 3 different events over the past 3 wks before more pics are added as I plan to head down to [Marina Bay] for a carnival...

It's time I get back into my regular wkly blogging before any of this messes me up further...

Bon Voyage...

As I start type this entry, I couldn't help but be reminded of [Takagi Fujimaru] from the [Bloody Monday] drama... How the hackers could simply type non-stop to hack into wherever they like as long as they're up to the challenge...

Well, the marvelling of the hackers only lasted for a few milliseconds... The marvel @ how good looking [Takagi] is though, is much longer though I've to admit tt I'm not as crazy as I was in the past to actually DL all the pics of him to occupy the 500GB of hard disk space tt I have...

Let's start this off with something interesting... Apparently, my colleagues @ work are all into goofing around, as the pic below suggest...

[Agnes] could consider an alternative job as a tattoo designer... LOL... =D

Yeah, maybe tt'll lighten the mood a little before I dwell onto something tt's a little emo-ish...

My sis has left for [Korea] yesterday for her cultural exchange programme... I won't be seeing her for the next 3 wks and I sure as hell hope tt the least she could do is to update her FB profile so tt when I'm on my stalking routine, I'll be able to keep up to date on what's happening...

Or maybe when she's using her iTouch and there's wifi, she could @ least use the [IM+ Lite] app to get onto [MSN] so tt we can chat...

*Sigh* The house's gonna be rather quiet for the next 3 wks... And as I'm blogging abt yesterday's trip to the airport, gah, there's this strange feeling in my chest... Is it me missing her already???

While @ the airport, we did a lot of photo-taking but this is the best of all... [Sis] brought her soft toy along so tt she could hug it while sleeping... HAHA!!! =D

It's been quite a while since I've actually been to the airport, unlike [K] who told me tt he actually goes there like on a weekly basis for [TCC] because it's only a 15 mins bus ride from his house... Zzz... -_-"'

Well, I've decided to head over to the airport 1 day just to take a walk around there to marvel @ the design of the new [T3], peek @ all the shops there and if there's still time, perhaps head over to [T2] to ppl watch while sip some delicious ice-blended mocha from [The Coffee Bean]...

Or rather, head over to [Secret Recipe] for their cheesecake...

The 2 items tt I had for dinner yesterday... Again, it's only after I took a bite of the cheesecake tt I remember tt I should've took a pic of it 1st before indulging in it... Haiz... -_-

The most sinful place is just staring right @ me opposite from where I'm sitting!!!

---

What has kept me entertained in the past 5 yrs ago has still kept me entertained 5 yrs later... [MapleStory] is already 5 yrs old and I'm still not sick of it despite lacking the time to really play for long hrs on end or the fact tt my main character has already been hacked once...

With the introduction of the new character: [Evan: Dragon Master], how could I ever get bored with it??? So, I got myself sucked into the work of [MapleStory] again by creating [Evan] on another server... Boy am i greeted with tons of changes...

For some reason, some of the [Blue Mushrooms] have started crying...

[Evan: Dragon Master]... The dragon's kinda cute only @ lower levels... Kinda of a pity though... =S

Furthermore, [Evan: Dragon Master] is indeed a tough hero to play as the character is similar in terms of stats requirements for the [Magician] class, except tt [Evan] lacks the skill [Increase MP Recovery], which means tt [Evan] will be stuck with a MP regen rate of 0.3 MP/s... Furthermore, in order to learn all the skills, it's a must to complete the [Evan]'s quest as those will reward you with 1SP for every quest completed.... Haha... I guess tt's some form of incentives for you to do quests instead of just senselessly wacking the cute monsters...

Oh, and [MS] is having celebrating it's 5th anniversary with some wacky drops tt can transform you to some random NPC or monster...

Gawd ugly penguin... Zzz... -_-"'

Now I'm a [Ribbon Pig] instead!!!

*Poof* I'm now the NPC [Utah]...

And the next few shots are my personal fav...

[Orange Mushroom]!!!

[Orange Mushroom] squatting down...

And climbing a rope... HAHA!!! Wonder how it can do tt when it doesn't have hands... =P

For quite some time now, [MS] has also introduced various mini-boss monsters and here's [Mano], the king of snails...

After defeating it and obtained the [Rainbow Colour Snail Shell] and upon noticed tt it's a usable item, I've decided to double-click on it to see it effects...

*POOF*

Now I've transformed into a [Red Snail] tt's capable of jumping!!! ROFLMAO!!! =D

Fatigue...

I didn't really keep track, but I do believe tt it has indeed been more than 2 wks since I've last done any blogging... Really, ever since I've started working, not only does time seems to fly extreme fast, but I've also been extremely tired... It's like the work is some sorta energy black hole... Even though all I only do is to sit around staring @ the com and answering phone calls, I absolutely feel like crap every time I'm back home...

Spending 1 hr on managing all my [FB] games is all I can manage before I couldn't take it anymore and hit the sacks...

Okay, perhaps I should back track a little... I did took up [SH]'s offer to work @ [Diners' Club (Singapore)] and it has been 3 wks already... And I used to think tt answering customers' queries over the phone requires tons of flexibility, with different ppl calling in... Yet after this short exp, I've come to realised tt the job is quite repetitive nonetheless and I'm using this as a form of motivation... LOL... Yeah, repetition and not much changes motivates me... The added bonus is tt all my interaction with the customers are over the phone, which is even better as I don't have to meet anyone @ all and frankly speaking, I'm more comfortable tt way...

Anyway, just barely 2 wks into my new job, I tio-ed the office infamous 'donut'...

Vandalism!!!

Just kidding... It's punishment for not locking my com when I left the office... And the infamous donut implies tt you've to treat everyone in the office to some sort of edible item... Luckily, I don't have to do the treating immediately and to date, there're like 7 ppl sharing the burden... Which is good as I've been overspending lately...

Well, I can understand the reason for this interesting way of reminding ppl to lock their coms for security reasons... Besides, after tt 1 lesson, I'm more cautious and it's a good thing tt when I was still in the [SAF], I was also trained, in some sense, to lock my com whenever I've to leave my desk... ^_^

After work, it's time to enjoy a little of the famous [Koi] bubble tea... Well, I didn't enjoy it, I was just accompanying the buyer and decided to snap a shot...

Oh, with [SH] around, work is never boring...


Mind you, this isn't even a tie... Apparently, [SH] decided tt the ribbon on the box of cake could be better used as a fashion accessory... -_-"'

Anyway, on [Vesak Day], [The Gang] decided to meet up since it's a public hol and most of us were free... So we decided to head to the [Helix Bridge] for some sight seeing machiam like tourists like tt... Just w/o the tour guide holding a flag and straw hats... HAHA... =P

We were supposed to meet @ 1200 hrs, [JE] stn, but the organizer A.K.A [MJ], actually overslept because her phone bat died, resulting in her alarm clock not going off... As a result, we were delayed...

No prize as to why [SH] is looking like this...

Evidence tt [MJ] seriously just woke up... LOL!!! =P

Time for me to lv. up my photo-taking ability...!!!



While walking towards the [Helix Bridge]...



I guess the shape of the DNA is so much nicer when it's on my notes... After looking @ the bridge, I can only see spirals... Now, tt can hardly be 'DNA-inspired', right???

Yep, just spirals...

The only indication tt it's truly inspired by the [DNA] can only be seen when you're walking through it and saw the following...



And I think tt if I actually took the time to observe the whole spiral, I should be able to identify the 4 molecules... Haha... =D

After spending some time taking jump shots and cam-whoring along the bridge, we decided to head to the casino and hotel to have a look...




There wasn't much @ the casino, so we decided to head over to the hotel and kpo a little...



Very HDB-ish hor???

After all the walking abt, [SH] decided to head down to town to hunt for his original DVD and so we headed to [Borders]... He couldn't find his DVD while I ended up spending $24.90 on [Sherlock Holmes]... Haha... And just before we actually left the bookstore, we uncovered this shocking sight...



In the movies section, 1 lone cardboard box actually contained...



Now zooming in...

YES~!!! CONDOMS!!! WTH LA!!! -_-"'

Well, tt's for [Vesak Day]... The following day, I actually went out again... This time, it's to meet up with [YH], [Bec] and [SL] @ [Minds Cafe]...



We have to eat 1st to get the energy for gaming... So I ordered [Cheesy Fish & Chips]...

But it turned out not to be very cheesy, as compared to what I've tried @ [Fish & Co]... Well, @ least the serving's decent for $6.50



[SL]'s happy smirk as he won 1 round of [UglyDolls]... =D

I've decided to do a little bit of cam-whoring after all... LOL!!! ^_^

Well, it was a good experience and I do feel tt [Minds Cafe] actually offer better deals as compared to [Settlers' Cafe]... On weekdays, 4 hrs of gaming only cost $5 and tt includes free flow of drinks... If you wanna eat a proper meal, it'll cost an additional $6.50... On weekends, the 4 hrs of gaming and free flow of drinks cost $10... The pt is, a meal is provided!!!

Well, I'll just remember not to take the circle line from [Bishan] the next time I actually decided to head there again... Tt train ride takes wayyyyy too much time!!! -_-"'
