spread out. went for edb interview today. i don't think i did too well, although i still think the interviewer was kinda happy with me. very nice lady. hopefully i'll be that bubbly and easy to talk to next time when i go into uni/working world. gotta work at it. urgh.anyway. after that spent an hour wandering around raffles city talking to chin ee and trying to find a place to eat, but the whole place was ridiculously full so i ended up drinking a double ice macchiato at starbucks (which is really good.. anything with more coffee is good ^^"). anyway it tasted like there was definitely more than one shot extra. but then i ordered the regular rather than the medium.. which got me thinking.. that means that perhaps if you order a larger cup all you get is extra milk.. how cheap is that.
anyway. touched the piano today. felt pretty good. even though it didn't sound too good. i actually managed to get 45 min in before i got too tired of my lousy playing. gotta slowly work back my skills. haha. it was a pretty good form of relaxation.
bought an andrea bocelli cd today. wasn't really worth the money i think.. all the tracks kinda sound the same. haven't looked at the bonus dvd yet. maybe it'll be more interesting.
i need to get in shape. but then again, i've been saying that ever since sec 1. and that was a REAALLY long time ago. maybe i'll go for a run or a swim tomorrow. or maybe both. but then again i shouldn't overdo it. that's probably my problem. exercising and playing the piano comes in bouts, and isn't consistent. these two activities feel more like the common cold.. comes in bouts and goes away. oh well.
thinking about something i should have really left behind a long time ago already. and it really feels crappy. for whatever reason.
i need another glass of vodka.

is it march or december? ... is a very important question, especially since it's been raining (pouring actually) practically non-stop for the past week or so.saw the search for selamat still going on today as i went towards SAFTI MI... all the police special ops standing along mandai road looking into the forest. which really makes me wonder.. are they expecting selamat to run out by himself?? or are there actually teams searching through inside? and then i started thinking about all the freak weather we've been having (the rain lar duh) and (me being a converted conspiracy theorist) suddenly had a brainwave.
maybe they're literally trying to FLUSH selamat out.
mwahaha. isn't that ingeneous!? ring the jungle with personnel, then make the jungle as wet and uncomfortable as possible for a man with a limp and probably no change of clothing. then, when he really can't take sleeping in the rain every night, he might just surrender himself and go back to the
okay jokes aside.
selamat really is taking his own sweet time getting caught. i hope that isn't because the police are taking their own sweet time catching him. even though i know the gahmen says he's not dangerous.
of course, i have another conspiracy theory on his disappearance. but i won't post it here. you can ask me about it if you want. haha.
okay i have 2 weeks left (less.. 11 days!) to decide the rest of my life. and it's proving as difficult a challenge as it sounds (and i'm blogging. what does that tell you about procrastination? haha). but i've narrowed down my choices to aeronautical engineering or physics/theoretical physics (of course the first option is way more likely but well.. why not?), and if i can i'd like to take a double degree in engineering and econs (NTU and NUS offer, but overseas unis seem reluctant to offer this). scholarship-wise, i still need to do research on a few organisations to make sure i really wanna be bonded to them for 6 years (and so that i have fodder for my interviews if i apply and succeed), and all that has to be done only at night, and at most only for 2-3 hours. phaw. maybe i'll just use the weekend. but then that's just procrastinating again.
another long rambly post. i'm getting good at this. haha.

Just a little bit. Been a while since I’ve bothered to really write down anything here.. Days are passing by so quickly and yet so slowly, somehow I can’t seem to find the energy in me to really bother to pen down my thoughts.. it always seems so much easier just to let life pass by without stopping to really look at what’s going on around me, to enjoy the little things that make life so worth living. Been really.. numb, I guess, for the past few months, perhaps even the past few years, rarely anything to spark my interest in life anymore. Perhaps I’m just out of practice, and if I’d just give myself the chance, put in the effort to embrace the morning breeze, extend that extra handshake to someone, act on the little thoughts that I have, but am usually just too scared or lazy to do anything about.. Then I might just realise a different side of me.Well. Read a couple of really dumb things in the newspaper on Sunday, which was probably the only day since dunno when that I decided to read the paper properly, since I went BK for breakfast and didn’t feel like stepping out of the house for a mere 20 min. Anyway dumb thing number one was an article on Sporean women expecting too much of their boyfriends, and there was this interviewee who said she’d expect her boyfriend to open doors, carry her handbag etc and basically be her slave because “why else would I have a boyfriend? I might as well go out with my girlfriends.” ??! like really lar woman, you have some serious issues here?? maybe that’s why you’re still single at 32.
Dumb thing number two was this huge headline that said “PM Lee Fully Behind Singapore’s Bid to Host the 2010 Youth Olympics” or something. Please, is that like the most “DUH!” thing you’ve ever read ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. And you put it up so big as if it’s such a deep statement. I think it’s because of these little silly things (and the fact that the only big news seems to be M’sian elections which I really can’t give a damn about) that I haven’t read the papers in a while (and yes I know the other part would be because I’m lazy but we touched on that already so DROP IT ><”).
Next.. er. Realise that I’ve been going out with my classmates more now that we’re not in school anymore.. and I’m probably beginning to erm. treasure them more? or at least, get to know them a little better. We’ve met up like. the last 3 weekends. Some of us anyway, since all the guys (except lucky me) are in army and most of the girls seem very busy. If we can keep it up I’d personally be very impressed. haha.
Played soccer on Saturday with the usual gang minus weisong. Apparently what my sis and a couple of my seniors (girls) said is true.. army guys just can’t stop talking about army stuff. So most of the game progressed with running commentary about fieldcamp, the delicious nature of field rations, grenade throwing etc etc from gengrui and whao, with me and chin ee being quite left out. hurr. But that’s okay. I’ve quite adjusted to my new unit already.. Which brings me on to the next little insight, that is sports really brings people together.. English isn’t the universal language, sports is. Recently after the soccer tournament, the morning runs, the games days, I’ve really become quite comfortable with most of the guys in my department, even though we have such different personal backgrounds and everything.. it’s as if after the first couple of rounds of soccer, I see them differently, and they probably see me differently as well, and we’re not all so scared or alienated anymore.
Okay this is a very long and disjointed post. Give me a little while to adjust back to writing and using my brain. It’s really rotten now.
As a final word, Park Bench Theories by Jamie Scott & The Town is a really good album (:

post out.| What Wong Shu Rong Adrian Means |
 You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts. You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it. You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator! You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. |
strangely interesting. i totally agree with the last bit - "Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start." haha. okay might post some more later. why is no one online now. urgh.
