World peace
The 2 of them reconciled.
After what seems like a war.
I glad that things turn out for the better.
Even though the r/s will not ever be the same,
at least there's peace for now.
Lets hope that it will last.

Counting down
How is this sem for everyone? 3 weeks to exam liao... counting down.....
I'm in the siege mode liao.... gradually starting to become more and more focus in the work.... no choice, still got 3 papers/grp projects to finish---my last paper is due on 6th. Which leaves me 1 week away from my 1st paper!!
ARGGGHHH.... this sem is really jialat.... didnt read textbook and my readings consistently at all. It seems that i have read more journals and articles than my designated readings..... and i have to try to finish with 3 weeks time, along with my projects? *faint*
Becoming more stressed liao... thats why u can see me actually cracking more and more cold jokes now. When i'm with a grp of frens, i will need to switch back to non-serious mode, tts why cracking all those jokes. But when i'm alone, i will become very serious.... dun really like it, but its a necessity.
On top of all the work, still got other personal stuffs tt has to be handled. And its something which really cant be handled..... sigh... nothing i can do abt it.
And i been reminding myself not to neglect Ruldoph.... hope tt i at least spending some time with her on phone and pay enugh attention to her.
Countdown to exams.....22 days.
Good luck to everyone!

You are guided by water. You are generally calm and
peaceful, but you can be very destructive
without even realizing it.(Rate my test)
What force is your soul?
brought to you by Quizilla
me water! do agree with the part abt me being destructive when i want to...
My inner child is ten years old!
The adult world is pretty irrelevant to me. Whether
I'm off on my bicycle (or pony) exploring, lost
in a good book, or giggling with my best
friend, I live in a world apart, one full of
adventure and wonder and other stuff adults
don't understand.
How Old is Your Inner Child?

Looks like i younger than some of the younger ppl ard me...... ^_^
BIG LESSON LEARNT
When saying something doesnt help in the situation, do not say it.
When u want to say it, at least make sure u say it in a proper and nice manner.
Think before u say something.
When u listen too much to ppl, u can be influenced, even if u do not think so.
Listen to both sides of the stories.
Be patient with ppl.
Do not dig up old grievances in an arguement.
Do not speak evil of the person, even if he indeed was evil.
FORGIVE AND FORGET.

YOU ARE ETHER!
Well, well... you are the mysterious Fifth Element!
The Fifth Element, Ether, is used or conjured
in many ancient religions or magics, but is not
something found on this plane. Those that have
been able to make the ascension to the Ether
are truly evolved people, possessed with
heightened senses of intelligence, perception,
and empathy that others simply don't have.
Everyday possessions aren't of much interest -
you are beyond that. You tend to gravitate to
open spaces, changing environments, and won't
saddle yourself with one style or decision.
Indeed, just one type of career isn't of
interest to you either, as your need to
constantly continue evolving and growing won't
allow you to settle down. Sadly, this need may
also impact your social life as well. You tend
to have few friends as not many people
understand you, and fewer relationships because
you simply outgrow them.
Don't be discouraged by this, though. You are truly
one of the unique, for very few people have
been able to achieve this type of
enlightenment. Be proud and use your knowledge
and experiences to teach and help others as
much as you can. Good luck and congratulations!
Now that you have an idea of your strengths and
weaknesses, why don't you put them to the test?
If you follow my lead I can take you to a game
world where you can explore different sides of
yourself and taste real power. Just follow my
lead, enter a name...

Sick
Just as when i needed to start concentrating and "piang" all my reports, i'm suddenly down with stomach flu. Felt horrible... esp this afternoon when i intended to stay in school and go for the resume talk. In the end, i couldn't stand it and went home.
Thanks to Ruldoph who sent me home.... really make me feel warm and fuzzy....

Complains
Heard some complains tt there are too many things to do, and stretching ourselves so much that sometimes, its not fun anymore.
And i find myself agreeing with that statements.....
Why aim so high, when we cant even maintain our r/s with our own ppl?
Why do so much, when they dun even care?
Why do so much, when noone appreciates the effort?
when i reached home, i wanted somethign to read, and picked one of my fave comic series..."Whistle!"
Wanted to re-read some of the comments tt motivates me..
"我们要努力到什么程度。。。
要努力到什么时候。。。
现在努力的话，以后又会怎么样呢？"---Whistle! :- this feels like the way i feel abt the situation now...
"不要问自己怎样才能成为xxx，
而是要问自己为什么要成为xxx。
当你迷惑的时候，你就顺着你走来的道路，回到起点，看看自己当时的心情，
请记得不要忘记最初的心情。"--- and when i think back and remember why i put in so much effort... i can understand why. and i will remember that. Maybe i might not understand some of the decisions, but i will give my support as much as i can.
Becos i remember why i do what i do.
And i will have no regrets.

Lower ability
Beginning to feel that a lot of my ability has been decreasing...
Lower patience (when i not tt patient a person to begin with)
Lower concentration (argh!! its worst when u have tons of work to do!)
Lower stamina
Lower memory.
Lower tolerance.
With all these lower abilities, i get more easily irritated, upset and angry now.... and it doesnt help when there are so many events that test my temper.
BLOODY IDIOTS! Don't u know how to help out? I doing most of the project work liao, and u all still expect me to remind u to do minor little things.... and there are some minor things which requires only common sense to do, and u all sms me and call me every five minutes to ask this and that.... AND I HAVE DONE ALL THE WORK OREDI! CAN'T U ALL JUST DO THOSE MINOR THINGS BY URSELF?!!!!
WAH KAU! Never do work oredi, and ur friend still defend u, and wants us to give u some IMPT WORK? DAMN U! U DUN WANT TO SCORE, I WANT TO SCORE OK?! ur friend is really one of a kind, kept on defending u and defending u and defending u.... in the end, i give up, and let ur friend has his way.
I been running up and down and been working non-stop for the entire day, and when i need to go to the meeting, u actually want us to finish the meeting faster? How to finish the meeting fast, when it will compromise the quality of the output? I know u dun meant it that way, but the message i got was that u thought that we are not helping out.... when i been helping out non-stop.... Pls, be fair to me! I only human and need to rest! AND I WAS NOT GOING TO REST BUT TO GO FOR THE MEETING!!! ----
(to the person involved, i know u didnt meant it that way, and i could see that u didnt want to aggrevate me anymore. I not scolding u... but just complaining and letting out some steam. Steam has been let out, and i have cooled down ^_^)
Ok..... i been complaining non-stop to almost everyone tt i have seen...... sufficient steam should be let out oredi....
Of course, if i start to complain abt the dept... no, THE dept head, i would start screaming my head off and my blood will boil.
*************~!!!!!!! THEY GET PAID $100, AND WE GET NOTHING? AND NOT EVEN ANY HELP PROVIDED?! WHAT IS THIS?!

Do you like to chat?
Its been a long long time since i chatted with someone else other than Ruldoph.
It was a good chat with him... basically we just talking abt things and ppl.... have a few laughs, express our opinions and thoughts. He's one of the few swaps guy that i could chat with....
Glad to have chatted with u =)
And after dinner, when we went back to the swaps table, J, Jo and Is were laughing loudly.... turn out that they had an interesting conversation. They told us roughly what it was abt, and for a short while, i joined into the discussion.
I argued, just for the sake of arguing and having fun.
And its been a long time that i have this kind of small debates.......
Ppl are too busy nowadays that its rare to find a time when everyone can sit together and chat away....

Important lesson
A gift (with sincerity) can never go wrong.
I do need to learn...... and sometimes i think i need to learn more than Ruldoph.
Hopefully i can learn fast enugh =)

Noticed tt sometimes it might get tedious commenting to comments, becos the list might get very long...
HY: during an exercise, my generator broke down (not the small one which u used to, but the big one... think its 240W generator, can power up tv, and aircon...). It was raining heavily, and i need to restart my generator. So i use 2 jumpstart cable, connected it to my tonner car batteries, and jumpstart.... (can see sparks one... thinking of it, i might get electrocuted in the rain). After a few tries, the generator still doesnt start... As i was despairing, and thinking of what to do, the battery exploded. Yah, exploded, with its acid spreading anywhere.... i was lucky because the door of the generator was closed...
Just to tell u that, i think most of the deaths in army are not due to combat training (i remember hearing this lah...) but from accidents.
Accidents do happen.... though the least we could do is to minimize it. I dont wish to comment on whether they are doing a good job or not though.... =P
yunishi: hey, if u dun admit, no one will know tt i quoting your lifestyle! =)
there will always be societal pressure in all the societies... either adapt to the societies, or find the societies which suits u.
I choose the former

Singapore, my home
Recently i read a report abt how some china students who came to Spore to study. They said that it was the best decision they have made; the teachers are caring, and the education syllabus are broad-based. They felt that its too competitive in china, and its so stressful such that it stiffle their growth.
In another report, some singaporeans who have attained PR in other countries, gave up their PR, and return back to Spore. They talked abt some of the problems of migrating, and how they still feel that their roots are in Spore.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have met countless ppl, who complain tt Spore is blah-blah-blah, and how it is such a bad place to live in....
Usual things i heard:
1) Spore govt poking their nose in too many things, e.g. no freedom of speech
2) Spore costs of livings too high...cannot buy cars, houses, etc
3)Spore too boring... so small, nowhere to go!Nothign to do!
4) Spore pace of living too fast... everyday running rat race.
I dun disagree with the reasons they give. Yet to me, this are just some minor problems of living in Spore.
1) Spore govt too strong? Its becos of this strong govt that we achieve what we have achieve; and more imptly, Spore society is a peaceful, low crime rate country..... i can live next door to someone of another religion, without worrying when they will throw bombs at us; i can walk along the streets late at night, without worrying whether ppl will call me a nigger, and mug me. I value tt peacefulness.
2)Costs of living too high? Live withing ur means then! I dun need the 5Cs.... having a happy family is sufficient for me.
3)Too boring? Have u been to all the sights of spore? Have u been to all the little corners of spore? I have not.... and i feel excited even when i found out some little places in my neighhbourhood which i never explore before. Some ppl might say tt i too boring, or easily excitable.... doesnt matter. Spore is exciting enugh for me
4) pace of living? i agree.... but the pace of life is dictated by urself... i know tt oSY can live in her own world, even when the ppl ard her are busy walking abt...
Sometimes, i do try too hard to convince ppl tt Spore is a good place to stay in. When i hear ppl abt how they want to migrate, i just feel that even if they migrate, they might not find happiness in other places. Other places are good in their own ways, but they are also lacking in some ways. There's no objectively perfect place in this world; only a perfect place for each individuals.
"If you cannot even find peace in urself, it will be hard to find peace in other ppl"- Some quote i remembred. And i would apply it to Spore too...
Singapore is my home. And i would hope to be able to live here for as long as i can.
To other ppl, who feel that spore is not good enguh, they are entitled to their own opinions.

What's in a meal?
What are the ingredients for cooking up a meal?
Food of course.... (stupid rite?)
But we must not forget the amt of effort put in for a meal.... it takes a lot of 心思 just to cook a meal....
My grandmother has been cooking for us since i was young......sometimes its easy to forget the effort it takes for a meal.
I need to remember this.... must not take this for granted...
