Yea right, co-writer. Who am I kidding man.

Should be studying my books right now. But since it's after lunch, perfect excuse not to. Since doing so will not only be unproductive, but hazardous as well. 'Cos chances of falling asleep and wasting the whole afternoon away is almost 100%.

Went to watch "The Bounty Hunter" yesternight. Good show to watch when you're alone & bored or with friends. Gives a good laugh. Hilarious. Yep.

So, went to return some resource centre & library books. The library books because they were recalled (damn). The other one? Well, they were due. Kind of sucks that I can only borrow resource centre's books for a only a week. Sigh.

On the bright side, got this rather interesting book (I think). Encyclopedia of Gangs. I think I'm becoming a bookworm. That's not good.

Feel like putting down some thoughts. But. There's just nothing going through my head now. As in. Really nothing at all. You know. It's like when Patrick Star does that "uugh..." thingy while drooling. Haha. Just love Patrick.

Stupid Recall. Argh.

Damn...

Such a dilemma. On one hand, I like to sleep. Specially when the weather gets cold, and you're snuggled up underneath the blanket with hug-ables. Then, on the other hand, I really really despise waking up late. Sigh...

I want to wake up early everyday. But then every time I open my eyes, look around, look at the time, it's back to sleep again. Damn it.

And swears & curses. Those pansy idiot library folks. Not the librarians. But the borrower. Oh... How I like to strangle him/her, etc, etc, etc. Like, I'd barely borrowed the books for a week, and here comes an idiot who decides to recall it. Now, I have to return it a month earlier. AHHH!! Fish you! Argh.

I'd never like the recall button. If I knew this was going to happen, I would have recalled the other book as well. There I was, thinking, "Should I recall them? Nah... I shouldn't. Not when the due date's round the corner. Just let the dude finish it, and I'll have my turn."

And now this. Damn it. No more Mr Nice Guy in the library anymore. I'm not going to wait again. I'll bloody recall every single book I need, if I have to. Hmph.

And should I eat yesterday's leftover? I'm told to avoid prawns & chickens & seafood in general. 'Cos of my injuries and all. Sigh...

Co-Writer

Hello Co-Writer (that's me)!

Well. 'Cos Edward will be a little too busy with his life in Australia, so, as his personal assistant, I'll be taking over at times. *smile*

Yea right. Who am I kidding. Personal assistant. Pf-ft.

I'm just using another email to blog this time round. Set up a new Gmail account for all business/work/official related stuff from now on. Kind of weird when you apply for jobs, etc, then your email comes out as "vagrant" or "spawn". So, got a better looking one. "The One".

Just watched a really neat video on Facebook which got me all hyped up.

Ip. Man. 2. Is. COMING OUT!

How exciting is that? Hahaha. I really really like the first one. So, will be looking forward to the follow up.

Feeling hungry. Maybe I should just go to sleep already. Don't really like waking up late again.

Accidents

Wow. This is something. 2 posts in a day. Rare.

So, what is this about now? As the title implies, accidents.

So far, my number of bikes (as in bicycles) accidents amount to less than... 5? Major ones at least. So, the ones remembered are...

The first one was when I was just a puny little kid. With a lousy bicycle. One that the brakes was so hard to apply (in fact, I think the whole thing had rusted). So, went down this... 20˚ to 30˚ slope. I have no idea why I was so stupid back then. Seriously. There was this massive concrete wall at the end of the slope. Just 1 to 2 meters away. Stupidity factor. Went down rushing. It was fun. Till I realised I couldn't stop at all. BANG! HAHAHA. Awesome. Smashed into the wall. Bleeding lips.

The second time was much older later. When I was in secondary school. Secondary one I think. Went P.Ubin cycling with my brother. Back then, P.Ubin didn't had such nice road. Went down this super awesome off-track slope. Bumpy-ty-bumpy-ty-bump. Suddenly, don't know what the hell happened, I fell. According to my brother who went first and was at the bottom of the slope - my rear came flying up. The next thing was me losing control. And then sliding down a meter or so. Only a few scratches here & there though.

The next time was cycling with my ODAC mates. But that one was nothing much. Went down a slope. Did this skid-turn-stop, then sort of was too fast, so tip over and fell. Bruises only.

The last one, today. was epic. HAHA. Went down this slope (why is it always got to do with slopes? I just don't learn my lesson, do I? Sigh), went too fast. Car approaching. Turned. Couldn't make the turn. Braked. Skid. Turned. Fell. What a fall it was too. My front wheels went 180˚. Slight scratch on my bike. As for me, it's either cuts, bruise or scratches on all four limbs. Like. What the hell man. What a disgrace. Haha.

Well, that's that for bicycle's accidents.

In other news, it's break time for the next 2 weeks. Doesn't mean I can slack though. Got a ton of reading to do. Well, alright, it's all optional. As in, I chose them for myself. But I figured for me to be on par with the other students, I got to have some knowledge first. It's like, they'd stayed here & grew up in a suburb. Me? HDB. Which I suppose would categorise as... Erm... City in their context. Not like in Singapore where it would be considered a town. or neighbourhood. So, yep. It's a sad & long holiday for me.

Well, at least I get to rest at home and heal up my wounds. 2 weeks. Should be more than enough. Heheh.

No pictures again this time. *sad* But am too lazy to do so. It's like. I usually upload them to Photobucket. Then link it here, to Blogger. So, it's too much of a hassle. Specially with the limited bandwidth.

Oh, alright. I'll use the Blogger's one to upload while in my stay here. Sigh...



End fieldtrip, BBQ!

View from top of hill nearby

The BBQ area

Spongebob Squarepants!

DAHAHAHAHA!

Night of the storm. Darkness.
Took with Lumix's TZ7. Scene Mode:Starry Sky. Exposure: 60 seconds.

Me & My Trusty Backpack

I really shouldn't be doing this right now. With lunch to gobble down, assignment to rush, heading back to school again, handing up the assignment & returning back home. There's really not much time.

But. I WANT TO!

From a third person's perspective, it's really nothing much. But. My comrades from Engineers, a few of them are like. Having the time of their life! I do believe they are backpacking or something. Turkey. Iran. How cool is that. And. What's next?! AH!!

I guess people from OCS are just a different class & breed of homo sapiens.

Fallout.

I really think that I watched & play too much post-apocalyptic world stuff already.

Sunday, was Kingsway City 14th. Went there on the weekends to help out. Saturday was very much like packing NDP bags. But not as many items in a bag. Then Sunday was the actual day. Was the balloon man. Hahaha. At least that was what the parents of those little kids labeled me as. Gosh. It was funny & weird to be called that. Hahahah.

But it was a fun job. Giving out balloons to small little children. And a few teens. Heheh.

Then Monday, had this awesome fieldtrip. Went all the way up North. Up to Yanchep. Think that's approximately 50km away from Perth.

It was a good & pretty interesting fieldtrip. Well, at least better than the other one we had the other time. Even had BBQ after the whole thing. BBQ by the beach, with a hill nearby. A view that one can never ever get in Singapore. It was just bloody amazing & awesome. Can so imagine myself & a group of friends nua-ing away there. *Sigh*

But the real highlight of the trip was the way back. Weird, right? Not exactly. 'Cos we experienced a hailstorm on the way back. And our driver was garang enough to continue driving while all the other cars took shelter under trees that would fit their cars. That sight, was already pretty much looking like the end of the world already.

There's a video. Refer to Facebook for it some time later.

Got back home. And thankfully I had requested to be dropped off early ('cos the bus route just so happen to past by my house). Else I would be like everyone else in my course. Stuck in school. 'Cos shortly after I got home, it started pouring like nobody's business. And remember the hailstorm earlier? Well, that particular storm got my room wet. My bed, floor. So, will be sunning them for quite some days. In the meantime, sleeping on the couch.

This is where the really-like-post-apocalyptic-world-scenario starts to kick in. Sleeping on the couch is one thing. But what if there wasn't any power? Yea...

I was just happily (or not) shifting my room, so that the sun will reach the wet areas, when it started pouring. The light flickered a few times. Suddenly. Black. Darkness. I was like. Whoa...

It was then torchlight out, closed all windows and doors. And then switching off all appliances. No power, no phone, no internet. And the storm was really bad. So bad, it affected the mobile's reception as well. So, it was effectively handphone-less. How's that for post-apocalypse world. Muahahah.

And the thing lasted for 2 whole days. Pretty exciting & fun, I say. Haha. Was quite an experience also.

So, that's about it. Oh. Swarm of millipedes invaded the house just now. No idea how or why. But round them up and tortured them to death. Yeah, well, that's for pissing me off.

The good old days...

I wonder if there's a way to dual my font-type. So that it'll appear nice-nice on both Mac & Windows. Hahah.

I really wonder how this blog of mine is now. Figure it to be around... 4 years? I think I started this in JC 1. So, now, yeah. Roughly there.

Helping out one of my, what I consider an extremely good mate out now. He's working on his admission documents for university. Though I may be no expert at writing such articles yet, but, just helping where I can. Expression, subject-verb-agreement and the likes. Throwing in ideas. And gosh. Never thought I'd stayed up to help him. I repeat. HIM. Till so late. It's 0429hrs now, in case you're wondering.

About the reasons why I would stay up so late, forsaking my sleep on normal days (that means excluding chalets, holidays, vacations, slumber-parties), would probably up chatting with... *ahem*. *Cough, cough, cough* Yep. He's truly one of those good buddy of mine.

Hadn't quite intended to be blogging actually. But, the lack of nothingness to do & current situation kind of implored me to do so.

Sidetrack. Is it bad for the eyes if I watch a tilted screen?

Anyway, not feeling in the most of positive mood right now. Yea... It's my cousin's 21st. I should be happy for her & all. I am. Serious. Dead serious.

Listening to Eminem's "Like Toy Soldiers" right now. Such an emo track. It's making me all emo. And I'm so feeling the song. And looking at the calendar, seeing whose birthday comes after my cousin's. It really doesn't help a bloody single bit. Exactly one week after. And the date is like, etched into my mind. 'Cos it's exactly 2 months before. Which she always reminds me, due to my bad memory.

Smap's "Lion Heart". Awesome. Not another exactly happy track. Sigh... It's an emo emo night dude...

And... it's exactly 0500hrs now. Guess I don't have much of a time to sleep anymore huh.

I sometime think I should really go into the education line. I don't know why. But I always have this sense of... what's that you say. Sense of achievement? No... Sense of... reward. I think. Sense of reward whenever I help/teach people stuff. Especially more so after they get it. Not explicitly focusing on the matter at hand by the way. Just, generally.

Almost half an hour passed since the last time report. Oh man. So hungry. Don't know how I'm going to survive Saturday. And I was planning on completing all my assignments today. And then plan out all my assignments due dates. Then, I can leave Sunday for reference reading... Or maybe just slacking around. Been sometime since I touched Prince of Persia. And now, I have Rayman's Rabbid as well. Damn.

Really hungry now.

Somehow, this current situation reminds me of my secondary school days. Where I would on some days, not sleep late into the middle of night, chatting on the phone. Not with a girl (though sometimes, it's texting a girl late into the night till I fall asleep on my bed), but with a guy. Hahaha.

It's kind of weird how we lost contact with each other at one point of time. But, came together again as though this gap of year(s) wasn't there at all. Just like the good old days.

I suppose great good true close friends will forever stay that way, no matter the number of years without contact, huh. But if only it were the good old days indeed with everyone...

Sigh...

Attack of the Killer Potato Chips

Had one of the toughest body versus food fight today.

Went to the supermarket. Intention was only to get vegetables. And perhaps some other daily food essentials if they were cheap.

However, being a typical Singaporean, JUST had to wander around the supermarket.

And that's when it came. Chocolates. Tempting. But can do without. Candies/mints. Some other time perhaps. When they're cheaper. Then, the most dreaded item came. Potato chips. It's been quite some time I had potato chips. Not to mention it was already approximately 1300hrs. And I hadn't had lunch yet. I was a step into the isle, and I was like. "Potato chips!!" It was a struggle to get that one step out of the isle. I was like. "Just one packet. After all, I hadn't had them for nearly 2months now." But another side was like saying, "No. No. No. Once I start, I'll finish one whole pack. By myself (considering that the rest at home won't even touch it). And then, my slight decrease in blubber will go down the drain."

Damn. In the end, I didn't get it. Got the vegetables (& a watermelon). Packed it. Rushed off home for lunch. Damn... Potato chips craving now.

Inspiration

To all you wondering what went wrong with my fonts. I'd changed it to a Mac font. It's called "Skia". Yep.

The house's getting crowded now with one more housemate joining us today. Not that it's a bad thing. It'll be merrier with more people, that's what I'm saying.

Now... Don't think I'll be uploading anymore photos into my blog from henceforth. At least not when I'm Australia, due to the issue of limited bandwidth. So, to all yer faithful blog readers of mine (whoever you are, 'cos I've really no idea who reads my blog now or who don't), you may refer to the photos on Facebook. Yep. Facebook the phenomena.

Today. Was first time at this restaurant, Ciao Italia. Awesome food they have there. Never had better pasta than that.

Hmmm... May seem a bit late to make a few resolutions. But hey, better late than never right.

One. To shed my F.A.T. stomach. Get back in shape. Two. To really get started on picking up Park-our. One & two are pretty much linked. Three. To make friends with my course mate. 'Cos we only have 70-odd people. It's just a wing of cadets all over again.


.

Thinking back, I've no idea where all my confidence came from. By this, I meant during the period of university enrollment period.

Really, it's like, I have D,B,S for my H2 subjects. Then my H1 ain't exactly that fantastic of a D as well. The only redeeming part is probably my General Paper, where I managed a B. Seriously thinking at this grade of mine. It sucks.

With me as of now, I seriously don't think I could even make it into a university at all, with those grades. But. Somehow or rather, during that period, I was just so confident & bloody sure of myself. So much, one, no. I would call it arrogant and naive. HAH.

And to think that I was relying on interview to get through, given my extra-curricular activities. Hmph. Arrogant bastard.

So, right now. I'm bloody thankful that I'm even in a university now. Even though it's overseas & cost a nuclear bomb.

So, right now. Hope, by some miracle, I'll face these 4 years with the same level of confidence. Hahahah. And, of course, to the future & beyond as well. Heheh.

Oh. So happy now. Heheh. My room has a new accessory to it now.

Videos Upload

It kinda sucks. A little. That Australia's Internet connection has such a limited bandwidth. Such that I have to resort to such unearthly hours. Just to upload a 2 videos. Thankfully, my school schedule still allows me to do so.

School, thus far. So-so. I think my course's pretty interesting. There's going to be quite a number of field trips and excursions. Even overseas excursion in our 3rd year or so. Wow. Just hope that it won't be a repeat of my Sec 3 days. It was one of my deciding factor for me to choose Literature as a subject.

Going off to sleep now. Think will wake up at 1000hrs tomorrow.
