Sssshhhhhh.
No blabbering today.
Today is the day 200 flying daggers flew past the house in the village, leading to the day in which someone crossed the road halfway and stopped in the middle of traffic.

Today is worship SPAIN day!!!
Puzzled?
Here's the backdrop:
Take a look at this picture. What do you see?
I think he was trying to hook me up. I also think he's sick. I ran away before I could finish chewing my grass. As I turned back I glanced at him, and he was chewing at what I was chewing halfway earlier!
Oh man.
Anyway where was I? Oh yah, right. No grass. So I thought to myself, hmm how am I gonna afford eating other stuff, other than grass. That's right. No grass. So during my lecture breaks I went to sit under a tree, because it was hot and the spot was shady, and I stretched out my hands hoping that money would drop from the sky.
Nope. No money.
Then I found a bench and I sat there and whistled nice songs. You know, songs. I put my pencil case on the table and placed some coins on it, you know, like a hint. People walked by as I whistled in tune.
Nope. No money.
Then I went to each and every vending machine I could think of in my faculty, and pressed the 'refund coin' button, and I also put my fingers into the slot hoping to feel some coins which people might have overlooked.
Nope. No money.
I was outta ideas. And today, I had to take a bus to clementi (because I was at YIH to retrieve the free mug) to buy some stuff (which meant the trip cost 40cents more 'cos I didn't take the straight bus back to my house.), and there I was, standing outside SINGAPORE POOLS.
And listening to so much of Jose Rizal and Philippines and Spain and whatever suddenly inspired me.
Serbia & Montenegro vs Spain
S&M might be no footballing super power, but they are leading the top of the group and hasn't conceded any goals in the qualifying group, so it's not easy meat.
In case you haven't realised,
I've bought Spain to win!
Yeah come on!
NO GRASS! NO GRASS!!
SPAIN!!

Puzzled?
Here's the backdrop:
Take a look at this picture. What do you see?
Yup. Grass.
Which is what I eat nowadays.
AND I DON'T LIKE TO EAT GRASS.
I propose a new notion:
NO GRASS.
I want to eat (too many to put into a picture) nice food, like rice, and noodles, and meat, and macademia nuts and cashew nuts and nougats and pistachios and grilled fish and soya bean and eggs and waffles and...
NO GRASS.
Why, just the other day, while I was having lunch, I made a new friend. He said his name was "Med." I snapped his face with my phone camera (You think I'm rich, but I'm not. The phone's from last year.) as he came near me. Very near.I think he was trying to hook me up. I also think he's sick. I ran away before I could finish chewing my grass. As I turned back I glanced at him, and he was chewing at what I was chewing halfway earlier!

Operation Readtillallrollsdead
aka Ops REtard.
"Ahh Agent Trent. We've been expecting you."
Our famous protagonist walks in the front door, only to be greeted by metalic smell and a huge cloth mounted on the wall.
He sees something. Something behind the cloth.
"Welcome." The face spoke again.
"Holy shit what the hell is that," Agent Trent exclaims. (disclaimer: Agent Trent is not so crude most of the time.)
"We've heard a lot about you. Let's see what you're now..." The face spoke again as a beam moves up and down our hero, scanning him from top to toe.
"What the..."
"Ahh.. Yes you're the right man for the job."
"What job? Who the hell are you?"
"Shuddap you fool!! I'm Esdae, God of words."
"I don't give a shit who you're man. I'm getting out of here." Agent Trent nonchalantly turns and heads for the exit.
"Imbecile!!!" Esdae shouts with a thundering clap.
"Honey... watch your blood pressure.. you shouldn't get so worked up." Suddenly an unfamiliar voice rings out.
"This foolish mortal is making me angry...." Clothy says.
Agent Trent turns back. "Who's that?"
"Oh hi Trent, welcome to our place. I'm sorry I was in the kitchen earlier." that unfamiliar voice again.
A rabbit hops out from the corner.
"I'm Tu. I'm Esdae's wife."
Oh my god the rabbit is so cute. I feel like giving her a big cuddly wuddly huggy huggy. Agent Trent thinks to himself.
" Muahahahahahhahaha!!!!"
Oh. It's that clothy freak again. Agent Trent's getting curious now, and he takes a seat on a revolving chair and folds his arms. "What do you want from me?"
"Trent, we just want you to do something for us."
Her voice is as sweet as Mama's bedtime lullaby.
"Yes Mama, I mean yes Tu what is it?" Our hero is bedazzled.
"YOUR MISSION, IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT, is to infiltrate the sociology course pack of XX0000, read, comprehend and digest it. "
"Oh man must you two take turns to speak now?" Agent Trent's dream of a lullaby startled by the horrifying voice again.
"As a matter of fact, yes."
"That's right."
"Yup."
"Umhm."
"Argghghgh. Okay I get it, I get it. Read the course pack right. So what's in it for you guys?" Our hero's getting a lil impatient.
"We just want to see you work hard, that's all. =D"
says with the sweetest smile. God she's so cute."What???? Why me?" Our hero doesn't get it.
"Because, moron, we see the potential in you. And you can do better than that. And the money your mother puts in for you to go to college, and the hopes everyone has for you, and that you're a smart boy afterall, and that....."
"Alright honey stop you're scaring him. Trent we just want you to study hard and we'll be happy."
"Er okay..." Our hero doesn't feel so hero-ish anymore.
"SO. THIS MISSION. IS THAT A YES OR A NO. MAKE YOUR CHOICE."
says as an electronic screen board hovers down into the front of Agent Trent."It's a touch screen. =)"
Agent Trent closes his eyes, ponders hard about the mission. I mean, hell, it's THAT sociology course pack after all! I really don't know...... Agent Trent's thinking hard, still undecided as he opens his eyes.
"Hmmm I really don't.... HEY! Both choices are YES! I don't have a choice!"
"Oops. Too bad."
says as a robotic hand stretches out from nowhere, carries Agent Trent's right arm with force and presses the YES button. (Stop asking. Does it matter which button he pressed.??)"Yippie yay!"
"Kekeke. I mean, MUAHAHAHAHHA!!!"
The revolving chair which our hero is sitting on revolves and spins so fast and so fast and so fast and so fast and so fast.
Like this.
And after 20 seconds:
Agent Trent pops out with sheer determination in his eyes, coupled with a killer scream.
"WA-TA~~~"
(Author's note to self: Find a more handsome picture for our protagonist next time.)
"Now go, my son, I mean, Trent. Read! Broaden the mind! We're both happy for you."
"I'm gonna cry..."
says as Tu and him comes to an embrace."I'll not let you guys down." Agent Trent speaks with wind in his breath, as he executes some shadow kick ass martial movements. He bows, walks out of the door, and finds himself suddenly back in his room with the sociology course pack in front of him.

Oink.
Hi! I'm Pig. I'm a pig. I don't know why, but when people sleep a lot, my name pops up, and they use my name without permission. This is not right!
I shall complain to my PIGs' Union aka PIGU.
Look at me. I'm so cute! And adorable! What's wrong with sleeping more? Why, I have a friend. He played soccer today, and he slept from 230pm to 815pm.
What's wrong with that?!?? Sleep is good! Look at me! I look fine, don't I?
~~
We thank Pig for being our guest writer today. Man, I got such a big shock when I pressed the light button on my trusty casio watch and got a shock at what time it was. Had no idea when my alarm sounded at 530pm at all. Can't believe I'm that tired?
ARgh. I have so much stuff to do, amongst them a 1500word paper due friday which I haven't started, and research on some silly Shakespeare musings. How the toot did I get myself into this?
Well, happy stuff next. On good friday Princess P met up with me and my good friends for sushi and ktv. Not including transportation fees:
Sushi: $20
ktv: $14
Dinner at some jap ramen place (though I had rice): $7? (because skaozie paid for it THANK YOU)
Having fun with your best pals: PRICELESS Comes at a huge cost (Can't you see my moolah flying away??)
Buffet was good though, and ktv was great. I like the blackcurrant freeze too. Princess P had a nice time and I'm sure she likes them as much as they like her.
Yeah =D Shall get back to work again.

It’s 7 o’clock on the dot I’m in my drop-top cruising the streets.
(Nice and slow - Usher)
My drop zone was the arts bus stop today. For those of you who have no idea where that is, it’s the 96 bus stop nearest to the Arts Faculty. Then I trampled on the grass, stepped on the tree roots, and dragged my feet across that mini carpark. Past LT11, up the stairs, up more stairs, and more stairs, and more stairs, and then in the lecture theatre I was.
It was 8am sharp.
Thursdays are groggy. I told myself to sleep early, but ended up on bed only at 1am, and to me that’s early. But I struggled to keep awake throughout the second half of the lecture. And when Prof told us what she talked about today wasn’t gonna be tested, the class just groaned. Well undergraduates are pragmatic. Nobody goes to a lecture just so they could learn more stuff. Attendance was only 1/3. It’s a boring module with a weird lecturer whom nobody likes (I’m neutral so far but people tell me my impression will change when I get to know her better.) It’s also an essential, which explains why I’m in the roster. To protect the Lecturer’s identities I’ll not name what module it is.
Ahh nuts. No, I wasn’t saying how shitty this place is. What I meant was I wished I had some cashew nuts to eat. Canteen doesn’t sell them. I got 1 x shun kueh (turnip foldover) instead. I finished that puny piece in a few mouthfuls and trudged back into the LT and back onto my seat. No jacket. So I felt some of that cold. Which was pretty good ‘cos it kinda keep me awake.
Oh shit. No, I wasn’t saying how much I needed to use the toilet. I was merely lamenting how slow time was and even after the lecture ended. It was only 10am.
After an enjoyable presentation in my tutorial, whereby after I got back to my seat, the girl in front of me turned back and said ‘good job’, it was finally 2pm! And I met Princess P in the canteen. There was yet another lightbulb. Damn. But it was also good in a way because I got to revisit my secondary one history. No clue what I’m talking about? Not important. I tucked into grilled fish, fries, salad, egg, hot dog. $2.90. Barley. 50cents. Cash left on self: $1.
Time to eat grass. Not grassjelly. Grass. The green chewy chewy stuff cows eat. Presumably sick dogs eat them too. Rabbits too. And now, Trent, eats grass too.
Been spending way too much this past month. So gotta check on my output this month. Anyway after lunch, printed stuff, another lecture. Princess P sat in with me. She’s such a darling. =D I created a heart shape out of eraser rubbing. One long line of non-broken eraser rubbing.
Yeah. =)
Roti prata at the techno edge. Sent Princess P off for lecture and proceeded home, after buying some essentials at NTUC clementi. This included cashew nuts.
Home. Talking to Princess P again. As mentioned, tomorrow we’re all going out to eat sushi buffet and sing ktv. I’m so happy, so in love, so happily in love.
The topic of the entry just drifts to her so fluently and automatically. She’s really the centre of my life right now. =)

And hail to the great easter bunny.
I just realised on sunday that this friday is a public holiday. Good Friday.
Ohh glory to ignorance!
That explains why my friend's msn nick was something about 'come celebrate Easter with us at the indoor stadium!'
Incidentally, my mother used to tell me each year that I was born on Easter Sunday for that year, you know, the day when Jesus got resurrected on that good friday. I'm born on the same day that Jesus got resurrected! And we'd be excited for 10seconds and it was interesting because none of us were Christians.
So if you've got your calculator or abacus with you, you can actually figure out when is my birthday! (note: this line is posted for strangers that come across this site. Because if you're my friend and I gave you this blog address you jolly bloody stinking well remember my birthday!! )
Like I always tell my friends, I'm a Buddhist by default, ie the religion was printed on my pre primary record book, and hey they go temple I go temple. It's been so long since those days. Now my dad's eating grass, my mum's a converted roman catholic, my brother I'm not so sure, but judging from how skeptical he is like me I doubt he's into any.
So frankly put, I have no religion. I do believe there is a god or gods or some metaphysical superpower looking at us, and I don't really care if there's a heaven or hell, and where I'm going after that, because I also believe in reincarnation. I just come up with my own ideologies, and I don't get influenced by religions. People think religions are sensitive topics. I don't really think so. I think that if your mind opens wide enough, you can take in anything and discuss them without being offended. Being offended is a sign of insecurity. And to insist that everything about your religion is right is being a bigot. But who will ever think that his or her religion is wrong? Ahhh but I'm not saying that. I'm saying all religions make their own sense, and it is the gracious us to accept one another's religious beliefs.
So my tutorial mate emailed me asking me to attend this:
"Hey anyway, bet ur surprised to receive this email from me! but anyway, I just wanted to invite you to join me for Easter celebration at the Indoor Stadium..a couple of timings.. Sat 3pm/7pm or Sun 11am.There'll be drama n stuff so it'll definitely not be boring!
(blah blah).. but I'm not outto convert you..haha..No pressure..will pass you thepostcard when i do run into you in school..(blah blah)"
Do I seem like I'm really going to hell? I'm gonna expose my religious ignorance by saying that Christians think that non-believers in Christ go to hell right? As most skeptics will ask, what's hell anyway? Then believers will say oh they read it in religious books, or envisioned a hell journey to and fro, or one of their friends has gone there and told them stuff. It takes a huge chunk of faith. People shouldn't try to convert one another. We're human beings. That's it. I don't like to see people think that they have to do something or something happened because it was an act of god. Can you imagine they tried to explain the tsnami incident by religion? Oh my GOD I thought we've progressed enough to explain things not using logic. I do admit religions make people learn good things and refrain from doing bad things, according to their own religious guidelines of course. But for god's sake stop asking people to go to heaven. If everyone goes to heaven then what is Hell? And if Saddam Hussein confesses and repents and lives next door in your heavenly home will you believe him? How do you know? 'Cos god said so? If everyone goes to heaven wouldn't hell be empty and devoid of meaning? Then wouldn't heaven be just like nothing special anymore? People repent because they repent, not because so they can go to heaven. Don't use that line.
I know, my friend's just being nice to invite me. I'm not making a big deal. Just saying there are other extreme people out there whom to me can't accept other people's beliefs (or the lack of).
So while people are basking in the Christian light this weekend,
Skaozie baby (that's for making me puke on msn 32 times last night) has planned a mini gathering to go sushi and ktv this friday. Yay!
Which reminds me I should reply negative to the email, and paranoid as it sounds, I hope this doesn't turn into another cat and mouse game.

And to insist that everything about your religion is right is being a bigot. But who will ever think that his or her religion is wrong? Ahhh but I'm not saying that. I'm saying all religions make their own sense, and it is the gracious us to accept one another's religious beliefs.
So my tutorial mate emailed me asking me to attend this:
"Hey anyway, bet ur surprised to receive this email from me! but anyway, I just wanted to invite you to join me for Easter celebration at the Indoor Stadium..a couple of timings.. Sat 3pm/7pm or Sun 11am.There'll be drama n stuff so it'll definitely not be boring!
(blah blah).. but I'm not outto convert you..haha..No pressure..will pass you thepostcard when i do run into you in school..(blah blah)"
Do I seem like I'm really going to hell? I'm gonna expose my religious ignorance by saying that Christians think that non-believers in Christ go to hell right? As most skeptics will ask, what's hell anyway? Then believers will say oh they read it in religious books, or envisioned a hell journey to and fro, or one of their friends has gone there and told them stuff. It takes a huge chunk of faith. People shouldn't try to convert one another. We're human beings. That's it. I don't like to see people think that they have to do something or something happened because it was an act of god. Can you imagine they tried to explain the tsnami incident by religion? Oh my GOD I thought we've progressed enough to explain things not using logic. I do admit religions make people learn good things and refrain from doing bad things, according to their own religious guidelines of course. But for god's sake stop asking people to go to heaven. If everyone goes to heaven then what is Hell? And if Saddam Hussein confesses and repents and lives next door in your heavenly home will you believe him? How do you know? 'Cos god said so? If everyone goes to heaven wouldn't hell be empty and devoid of meaning? Then wouldn't heaven be just like nothing special anymore? People repent because they repent, not because so they can go to heaven. Don't use that line.
I know, my friend's just being nice to invite me. I'm not making a big deal. Just saying there are other extreme people out there whom to me can't accept other people's beliefs (or the lack of).
So while people are basking in the Christian light this weekend,
Skaozie baby (that's for making me puke on msn 32 times last night) has planned a mini gathering to go sushi and ktv this friday. Yay!
Which reminds me I should reply negative to the email, and paranoid as it sounds, I hope this doesn't turn into another cat and mouse game.

Optical mouse
Finally got myself an optical mouse. My old mouse was giving me problems and was no longer smooth in rolling around. (Not dirty, I cleaned the whole thing.) I think it's just old, so I got a new one and it wouldn't have such problems.)

Profession confession
Today's soccer game was great. My knee held up well though I took some minutes to warm up and cope with the pace of the game.
After that I went home with 2 undergraduates of Law and Medicine, ie a future lawyer and a future doctor.
And it just makes me feel hopeless and useless.
And I have one more year left before I graduate. And I don't know what to do.
I want my mummy.

Non stop work.
Thursday night. Back after a long day. Well not really that long because I woke up at 0750 when I had a lecture at 8am and although I had the car I decided not to go late for the lecture.
Recap.
Saturday:
Off to Sentosa with my mentoring school. Things didn't go smoothly as usual. And some of them got frustrated at me. Oh well. I wouldn't 主动 (initiate) anymore. We played frisbee, volleyball and just some bumming on the sands. The mentees had a lot of fun throwing their water bombs at me, and some even filled up mini pails with water and poured them over me. I was sporting enough not to run so much, and they all were very happy.
When we dismissed Princess P and I went to takeaway dinner and proceeded to the musical fountain for the special sentosa show, starring kiki the monkey. It was cute, and more for kids of course. Still it was crowded and we enjoyed ourselves.
Sunday:
Princess P's 21st birthday celebration. At Costa Sands pasir ris chalet. Checked in at 3+pm and we lazed around till the guests came. Then it was very busy. Haha for me at least. And she introduced me to everyone. Very fun! Her good friends even baked her a spicy cake to try. At night we stayed over, with the company of a huge
Played pool, arcade, and got back in the room about 330am, talked and slept. Woke, checked out, sent her home, stayed while she opened her presents, went home, did homework, went off for lecture on monday.
Tuesday:
Princess P turned 21! Sent her an mms, which is a photo of an I
U picture I made with cup noodle wrapper and water droplets on that chalet night. Stupid Singtel or is it my samsung phone screwed up so the timing messed up and she got my mms later than I planned. Then I called her and "sang happy birthday to you~" =D She was so happy. =D
Went her house to pick her up to school, and surprised her with this:
There's a little piggie in the bunch. =)
In the picture you can also see a small box and a watch. I'll touch on them later.
And Princess P was of course very happy, staring at the flowers the whole time I was driving. I made her carry it in school. Haha! She later said people were staring at her. Yeah! After our school we went to have sushi for dinner. We ordered 17 plates and both of us got too full. Then we went to a watch shop and I bought her a watch. And then we watched SON of THE MASK.
Some parts childish, most parts funny. It was already late and back to her void deck, I gave her the little box (in the above pic) and inside was stuff I made! She was surprised (which was totally my intention) and I told her to open it.
I carved the candles and made a card. This time she could understand it. Haha!! She loved all the stuffs I gave. Her mum asked her how come I gave her so many things. I didn't feel it was many.
I love her so much. =)
Wednesday:
Finally submitted my essay on the deadline day and had some time to chill. Princess P came over and we enjoyed each other's company. =) We also ate a lot. Dumplings and rojak and noodles.
Thursday aka today:
All's fine now, but here's something I wanna say:
There's this guy who likes Princess P. He didn't say it, but his actions and indirect words seem to lead to that. I feel uncomfortable with him. There is also this incident I got very upset with when Princess P tried to plan her timetable (in january) to be similar with his. Anyway, this guy gave her a necklace for her birthday. And to cut a long long story short (which might result to insufficient understanding of context), she wore the necklace today and I got upset.
Any thoughts or comments? On anything. On how your neighbour has a barking dog and it irritates you also can. Anything.

Wolverine
I've healing abilities just like that x-man.
After 13 days of the said knee injury, I've finally sprung back to life, and I went for a 20minute jog today. I'd have done that earlier, but everytime I planned to, my body somehow feels uncomfortable and I'll 'pain here pain there'. Not this time, though. The comeback is a success.
I know my body has always been like that. Back in the army when I sprained my ankles very badly, people told me it was gonna be a week. I took 3 days or 4 days tops, and was up and running. That's the thing about me, or rather about old people, or rather about people with old bones and joints. Due to physical sports, their body easily gets injured. And you know what they said about dislocated shoulders. Once you've dislocated it before, it's easy to 'pop' it back, but after that it will be no surprise if it pops out often again. I guess that is what's happening to me. I'm prone to injuries and while I recover fast, sometimes out of nowhere my joints just ache. Back in junior college was worse. When it rained or the weather got cold, some parts of my body ache, especially my injured wrists, and the doctor suspected me of juvenile rheumatism. Ahhh how I wish to be classified under juvenile haha. Anyway in the end it wasn't. But my body has been with me through thick and thick (no typo there) till now.
I've been advised to give up playing physical sports.
(Hey does this picture look like me? HAHA.)
That's like telling me that I can't watch
The Simpsons
and I can only watch
I don't even wanna pronounce their names.
Well I know they mean well, and I've always known that when I grow old there probably might be some complications in the body parts, but I don't really play much. And yes, I've pulled out of my faculty football team. I think it's a wise decision.
Another week gone by. I remember I've things to say, but I didn't have time, because I was studying for my test and doing homework. Oh, I went to Princess P's good friend's birthday party. She turned 21. She booked a chalet and had pictures pasted on big construction paper which was then mounted on the wall. Pictures from her baby years till now. And many people came. Wow. I never thought birthday was such a big thing. I guess for guys turning 21 is nothing because most of them were still wearing green, or maybe that's just me. Well for someone who doesn't really celebrate birthdays after his primary school (I think), a birthday is just another day. Maybe I should have a mini gathering when MY birthday comes. Anyway Princess P's birthday is next week and tomorrow she has a chalet. I've never even been to so many 21st birthday parties for my batch of friends. I don't think I was invited to any haha. Oh was I?
Anyway I've to go now. Off to Sentosa with my mentors and mentees. I've dragged Princess P along. =p Didn't really look forward to it because I had lots of stuff to do, and I thought some of the mentors weren't supportive enough, but now I'm feeling good and plus the company of my dearest , it's gonna be fun.
Wolverine, signing out.

Hitch twitch.
It's a great movie. About a love doctor. Princess P and I had a wonderful time, laughing along. And for me, cursing at the female leads for being idiots. Princess P said she would have thought in the same way the female leads did. I guess that's the difference in male and female perceptions. Don't know what I'm saying? Go watch. No money? Wait for vcd lor.
Before the show started while in our seats I told her that what an idea it will be if females got proposed in the cinema, you know, hitched at "hitch". I asked her if she thought patrons will applause and tell the lady to 'say yes..say yes..' or will they shout 'wah lau eh diam lah i wanna watch movie lah'. I was also thinking would the patrons know of it or will everyone be surprised.
And I flipped today's LIFE section, and there I saw, HITCHED AT HITCH.
Click to see article.
By the way straits times online will no longer be free come two weeks' time.
FOR an eternity of five seconds, bank analyst Regine Tan was speechless.
It was a case of "I do, I do" for Ms Regine Tan, when her boyfriend, Mr Alvin Chan, popped the question in the cinema on Thursday. -- Photo: Lim Wui Liang
She and her boyfriend Alvin Chan were waiting for the romantic movie Hitch to start on Thursday night when the words 'Will you marry me?' flashed across the cinema screen.
She was stunned. Then, the lights in the hall came on, her boyfriend went on his knee, popped the question and gave her a 0.58-carat diamond ring.
She was so taken aback that she did not say anything except to take the ring and slip it on.
Realising her mistake, she giggled and returned it to him so that he could put it on her finger.
The small audience at the Gold Class cinema hall of Golden Village Grand applauded, with shouts of 'congratulations' heard.
Yesterday, Ms Tan, 23, told Life! that she was 'embarrassed and just wanted to get on with it'.
The couple, who are colleagues, have been dating since they met at a company function on Dec 12, 2003. Mr Chan, 28, said that because the date was 12/12, double dates have always had significance for them. That was why he picked March 3, or 3/3, to propose to her. 'Three is her favourite number,' he added.
He said he paid Golden Village about $1,000 to arrange the proposal at its Great World City hall.
The couple have picked May 20 for their wedding. Not surprisingly, that date is 20/05/2005.
But they might want to watch Hitch, which stars Will Smith as a 'love doctor', again. Ms Tan said they were so excited, they 'talked for almost half the movie'.

Wah not bad. Some guys really plan ahead. That's good to see. And wah. GV charged $1000 for some screen words and lighting effects. And wah wah. the woman is only 23 and the guy only 28. So young.
I propose that when they watch Hitch the 2nd time, the lady stuns everyone by proposing to the guy! That's gonna be a total shocker, because nobody will ever expect that to happen, at least not again? And the couple will live happily ever after, and be one of the rarest couples to have proposed to each other! (I don't know any, do you?)
Ahh I wanna get married too~

Howdy.
Why, it's only a couple of weeks since I last wrote. Because as you guys know, we had a term break. That's right. That's when the term goes for a break, but for us undergraduates, it's a time for us to catch up with our work. I had so much work to do, especially for my SS project which I hereby thank anyone who helped me in my survey. Let me share the some wonderful stories of my university.
NUS is full of cute students.
You see, the deadline of the assignment was monday 28th Feb 05. Some cute little cuddly wuddly undergraduates (please tell me it's a freshie) went to email him this:
Dear sir, you mentioned that submissions that arrive within 3 days of the dateline will drop one grade. Is 25/02/05 counted?
and this:
Dear sir, with regards to the submission of our term assignment, if we hand it in tomorrow, 25/02/05, will there will a lowering of grade?
Isn't it amusing?
Here's what the prof replied:
hello. go read the original instructions. the deadline is 28 Feb.
EARLIER SUBMISSIONS ARE ENCOURAGED.
grades will ONLY BE DEDUCTED FOR LATE SUBMISSIONS!!!
3 DAYS LATE ONE GRADE
7 DAYS LATE 2 GRADES
WHO EVER PENALIZES PEOPLE FOR SUBMITTING EARLY?????????????
Yes, he even put that emoticon, which totally represents a thousand words!!! =D
Why are people so dumb? I mean cute. Yeah, cute.
Here's an even better one!! Wooo I love NUS, for all the interesting people I see.
Dear Sir,
i have finished my report and the references section ( individual work ). however, i am not sure and i'm afraid that my work is not up to standard. please please comment and advice me on my work. i will do the corrections over the weekend, and will be able to hand it in to you on time on Monday. my word count is 2015. i'm sorry to trouble you again.
?!??!?!
I hate these people. They're either really dumb, or really smart. I hope they get blacklisted. I can't imagine dealing with all these stupid emails. Then again I'm not a Professor. If anyone's a professor reading this, thank you for tolerating with dweebs like us.
BBQ:
Went with Princess P to her friends' BBQ at west coast park. Real nice. And I learnt how to mount a unicycle! Albeit with the help of a tree as my support.
Malay reception:
Attended a malay mentee's birthday. The food was great: ketupat, longtong, chicken wings, sweet curry puffs. We sang karaoke and played upwords and poker cards. Only thing weird was her gathering consisted of people like us, the older mentors. It seems like she doesn't have many friends of the same age.
Hide and Seek:
I think it's a superb show. While watching it I likened it to Scream.Not so in terms of the killings and slashing of course, but in suspense. You just can't wait for the story to unfold, and Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning (She's only 10 years young!) give ravishing performances.
Injured:
Oh I'm also in the process of recovering after my horrific knee injury on Sunday morning football. Not so horrific actually. I just had difficulties walking and especially so when climbing up and down the staircase. I thought for long and had many discussions as to whether I was going to see a Doctor, and take an xray. I told people that it would recover by itself and someone told me don't be an idiot I'm not wolverine. But it always just takes me a few days to heal. I get injured very easily, just like the countless number of ankle sprains I've encountered, but I also heal very fast. I know. My body's probably broken internally. I should stop all these physical sports. Sigh. Anyway, on Monday night I said "I can feel that it's getting better." so I didn't go to a doctor, and it is improving by the day. And in a few days' time I'll start to go for walks and slow jogs and I'll be all good.
I can't remember what else now. It's friday morning and I don't have school. I should start on my assignment due in 2 weeks. Somehow I feel excited about the release of the 'A' Levels results later in the day. Princess P's brother is a recipient. Hope he pulls through. I'm meeting her later at night to watch Hitch. Hope it's a celebration. =)

Hide and Seek:
I think it's a superb show. While watching it I likened it to Scream.Not so in terms of the killings and slashing of course, but in suspense. You just can't wait for the story to unfold, and Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning (She's only 10 years young!) give ravishing performances.
Injured:
Oh I'm also in the process of recovering after my horrific knee injury on Sunday morning football. Not so horrific actually. I just had difficulties walking and especially so when climbing up and down the staircase. I thought for long and had many discussions as to whether I was going to see a Doctor, and take an xray. I told people that it would recover by itself and someone told me don't be an idiot I'm not wolverine. But it always just takes me a few days to heal. I get injured very easily, just like the countless number of ankle sprains I've encountered, but I also heal very fast. I know. My body's probably broken internally. I should stop all these physical sports. Sigh. Anyway, on Monday night I said "I can feel that it's getting better." so I didn't go to a doctor, and it is improving by the day. And in a few days' time I'll start to go for walks and slow jogs and I'll be all good.
I can't remember what else now. It's friday morning and I don't have school. I should start on my assignment due in 2 weeks. Somehow I feel excited about the release of the 'A' Levels results later in the day. Princess P's brother is a recipient. Hope he pulls through. I'm meeting her later at night to watch Hitch. Hope it's a celebration. =)
