BORED!

Saw this on Jason's and Shu Ming's blog, so since I'm bored, I've decided to give it a try.

You have always been on the move seeking affectionate, satisfying and harmonious relationships. Your ultimate goal has been the realisation of an intimate union in which there could be love, self-sacrifice and mutual trust. It has often been said that 'True love is just around the corner' and - if you haven't found it as yet - you possibly soon will.

You are working extremely hard - perhaps even above and beyond the call of duty. You are preparing for the future and therefore trying to build a firm trouble-free foundation upon which you may base all of your dreams and aspirations.

Matters are not progressing as well as you would have hoped and you are having to make concessions
- but you still believe that your goals are realistic it's just that people can't seem to see your point of view. You know what you want but you'll only accept suggestions under duress.

You are frustrated and stressed. You appreciate the finer things in life but at all times you appear to stay aloof, critical of everything and everyone about you. You will not be carried away by your emotions and you refuse to trust anyone or any situation unless genuineness and integrity can be absolutely vouched for. Therefore, you keep a strict and watchful control on your feelings as you must know exactly where you stand at all times. You demand complete sincerity as a protection against your own tendency to be too trusting.

You are inclined to be too trusting and you feel that you need to be on your guard against the possibility that your endeavours and actions may be misunderstood. Too often you have been taken advantage of and you have been mentally abused. Now you are seeking a relationship which can provide peace of mind, where you can be yourself and not have the need to put on a false front.


Hmm... pretty much accurate.

Sian la I'm so bored.
This always happens.
Before exams, always got so many things to be done.
After exams, got nothing to do. -.-

Anyone wanna pool/movie/cycle/makan over the weekends?

BLOCK TEST OVER!

Kufufu after a week of absence, I'm back.

So Block Tests are finally over, and hell yeah, a short 4 day break.
[Well, not exactly, repeat students have to see the P on Friday for some talking cock session. Sian.]

Well, one thing I can expect is getting not-so-good results for the BT in general.
Hell, BT was a rushed affair this year and I mainly did last-minute studying.
And I was being a bastard for emo-ing about my social life crisis, getting over it only on February 18.
Furthermore, I was kinda distracted, still frequenting PPF and Facebook everyday, LOL.

Oh well, what's done cannot be changed.
Bracing myself for some Econs HELL though...

What happened shortly before Econs BT:

Didn't understand the question at all.
And after asking around, I found out that I wrote out of point for that question.
And it's only the 1st question.

AH DAMN IT WHY DIDN'T I TAKE H2 GEOGRAPHY INSTEAD?

Zzzzz...



Tired desu.
Still need to cram for BT argh.
Someone needs to enlighten The Obsessed One that more lessons =/= more success.

Nvm. Tahan 6 more days.

Maybe.

Being in the library alone today, I did a self-reflection on the preaching my mother gave me yesterday.

And perhaps what she says is true.

You can't always get what you want in life.

Which makes me recall of a phrase I heard while watching some anime (can't recall which), "Things you want the most are usually unattainable."

Maybe, I should just stop sighing and accept fate the way it is.

Anyway, I was quite in a positive mood today, instead of succumbing to further depression.

Maybe because of the dream I had last night.
An unexpected visitor in my Lalaland.
Who told me to take care of myself and add oil.

I will strive on, even as a lone ranger.

Arigatou gozaimasu.

S.E

I was about to do some ranting again, but for now, I shall hold back.

And continue to observe.

It might turn out to be interesting.

Whatever the results, I should be able to distinguish between the real and the fakes.


You'll know soon enough, desu.

Depressing uni course requirements

Wah, looking at the Indicative Grades Profiles for admission to local universities pretty much scares me out.

For the course I am aiming for:

NUS Sciences (Chemistry)
10th percentile: BBBB
90th percentile: AAAA

NTU Chemistry & Biological Chemistry
10th percentile: BBBC
90th percentile: AAAA


Now so competitive sia.
Oh well, expected la, this is Singapore afterall.

Anyway, currently hooked to this song.
Toradora's 2nd opening:

Translation here.

Off to continue Operation SIOW.

And to add on, my best friend is my arch nemesis.
She's none other than my laptop.
Must...control...computer...addiction...

Confessions of a Mudkip

*** Author's note: Was kinda bored yesterday so I came up with a crap story in "Nightly (fictional) confessions" thread in a forum I frequently visit.

Confessions of a Mudkip

Yes, you heard it right, I’m a Mudkip. That blue mudskipper Pokemon that doesn’t look like one at all. I have no idea why my creator made me this way. Oh well, who cares.

So I was minding my business, slacking at the Professor’s lab. I used to have lots of fun with Torchic and Treeko, two lifeforms whom I considered to be my best friends. We would spend the time running around the lab, playing hide-and-seek and holding competitions such as who would be able to repeat their names for the most number of times.

One day, good old Professor Birch decided to bring us along for his field trip at Route 101. We were kept into some weird stuff they called Pokeballs, for convenience sake. All of a sudden, I felt an impact, and the next thing I heard was the bark of a Poochyena followed by the Professor screaming for help.

I wanted to help but dang, I could not get out of my Pokeball. Troublesome thing. Then, all of a sudden, I heard footsteps coming into my direction. I heard the Professor muttering a few words, and all of a sudden, I felt I was flung forward. The Pokeball opened and out I appeared. I looked behind me and I saw a young guy, probably about 14 years old, staring at me. Now, who could this guy possibly be?

“Mudkip, use Tackle!” he shouted. Suddenly it dawned upon me. My freedom, my carefree days at the lab, they’re gone! Now I have to follow some trainer around in his quest to be the very best.

“What are you doing? Use Tackle now!” he insisted. I initially hesitated, but looking at the Professor who would be bitten anytime, I proceeded to beat the daylights of the Level 2 Poochyena.

And the rest of the story goes like this: Professor was thankful to the young guy, and gave me up to him as a reward. Damn you professor, how could you betray me…

But well, maybe it’s ain’t so bad afterall. At least I get to fight gym battles and challenge the Elite 4.

But it wasn’t meant to be.

I was made to participate in Pokemon Contests!

EEKS.

And now, I’m being hunted down by crazy trainers who apparently have a weird obssession with me.

“OMG IT IS A MUDKIP! I LIEK MUDKIPZ!”

Gotta run for now.

A different perspective on Valentine's Day

Have you ever wondered whether Valentine's Day is rather an evil occassion rather than a happy one?

While couples go out on a date , singles are left to rue on their bad luck.

While people gather and have fun with their friends, people who are unpopular, outcasts or those who are simply unable to integrate into society for some reason or another are left to rot at home.

And when these people look at how others are gratifying Valentine's Day, they start to cringe.

Valentine's Day is seen as the salt that is rubbed onto their wounds.

And it hurts.

Frustrated.

Frustrated. Tired. A tinge of sadness.

Think this is going to be my worse Valentine's Day ever.

Would like to rant, but guess I rather keep it to myself for fear I might get flamed by certain people.

Ah,
But this has to make up for it.


Badass. Ulquiorra's release, that is.

and maybe this too to a smaller extent...


Need some sleep for now.

CCA Bazaar

CCA Bazaar today.
Got our new AVA T-shirt, which was more decent looking than the previous one.
Though, suppliers always tend to screw up here and there, but luckily mine wasn't.

So 28 people wrote their names on the list.
I reckon that only 1/2 will come, just like the previous years.

After the bazaar, some of the AVA peeps went to AMK.
Met up with Kenrick and Shang Ya and ate dinner at a nearby coffeeshop.
For the first time since ages, I had a nice and meaningful conversation with the rest.
Yup, I'm lucky to have wonderful CCA mates.

Still thinking on whether to crash JC1 Disco Night tomorrow.
On one hand, I feel like doing so because I want to rickroll half of the school population.
On the other hand, I really need to mug for the upcoming Block Tests.

Signing off here, I need some sleep desu.
Ciao~

I'm glad they still care.

Maths Test

What can I say about today's Maths Test?
Hmm.

Damn vectors.

Now moving on to EPL Transfer Gossips.
"Andrei Arshavin made a last-ditch trip to London ahead of a proposed move to Arsenal but a transfer from Zenit St Petersburg looks to be off.

The 27-year-old Russia playmaker, who caught the eye in last summer's European Championship, was in place to undergo the formalities of the transfer if the two clubs reached an agreement on the fee for the player.

After being pictured in Hertfordshire, key figures in the deal said that Arshavin had left for an airport and the move was off, meaning only a late move from Arsenal would resurrect the transfer.

But Arshavin will struggle to leave the country with airports in the south east closed.

Arshavin's move was one of the high-profile deals being negotiated on a transfer-deadline day that has been complicated by snowy conditions."
-soccernet.com

Damn Wenger and/or the Arsenal board of directors. Don't they consider the long-term costs if we don't sign Arshavin?!
