I’ve been really really addicted to COD4 recently for some reason. I guess I never really knew how fun the game really was until I started playing it using my MBP. In fact I guess I’m going back to playing it the moment I’m done with this post.

Many people have been telling me I should update my blog more often, thing is I’m usually too lazy to blog or nothing blog-worthy has been happening. Last few days have been pretty normal, though I have to say it’s pretty disconcerting for me to finish my entire math tutorials way beforehand, I’ve never done my homework so diligently before. And I actually managed to finish my EoM yesterday, and for the first time in a very long time, I can actually game and slack about without feeling too guilty about having a pile of work to do.

As for tomorrow, gonna have to somehow find my way to chong boon sec for Connect Singapore briefing. I’m almost beginning to regret going for it, it’s way too much trouble just for the CIP hours. Though others definitely have more on the plate thanks to Connect as compared to me. Still, not worth the time at all. Volunteering for triathalons is so much easier, all we had to do was keep removing velcro strips from the finishers’ ankles for a few hours. Apart from the fact that we had to reach ECP at the ungodly hour of 5am and that you’d get ppl’s sweat dripping on you, it was actually pretty fun and worth the time. Unlike Connect, no idea what it’s gonna be like in the first place.

Oh and I really have got to go watch The Dark Knight, keep hearing how good it is. Caught Batman Begins on TV a few days ago and seeing as how the crtics say TDK is better than that, I’m seriously having very high expectations for this movie. Can’t wait to catch it

I won’t hesitate no more, no more.

There’s been quite a lot of stuff going on recently that I don’t even know where to start from now. Unfortunately I’ve spent quite a lot of time on COD4 till the point where I’m beginning to neglect this blog. Hope this trend doesn’t continue for too long.

Have been really really busy with Lighthink stuff these few days, it really is a mad rush to get everything ready, considering how only 4 people are doing it and I’m also the one typing and editing the essays. If only all the deadlines could be pushed back by just a little bit, we wouldn’t feel so damn busy all the time. Speaking of Lighthink, the last 20 minutes of the meeting on Thursday was actually pretty darn fun, it’s always what I’ve wanted Lighthink to become, hopefully more people will join

As for interhouse soccer, we came in second. Not bad, considering how our entire team was from ONLY our class and we faced a team handpicked from an entire HOUSE. Was really fun I have to say

Anyway, going for CHMA tonight, finally another excuse to go back to CHS should be leaving the hosue soon to go to Nich’s house first though for this PS3 and…. GTA 4 HERE I COME!!!

SOOOO many things have been happening these past few days that I didn’t have the time to sit down and properly blog. I realised this post is long overdue so I decided to force myself down here to type this out.

Went out last monday and somehow ended up at vivo after a really random situation and bought 2 new books though I hate it that they still don’t have grisham’s new book… went all the way to roxy square after that for goodie bag packing and it was pretty damn fun, though pretty damn tiring. Had to carry 10 bags at one time after tying them together and storing them… Not complaining about it though, monday was definitely a good day

Interhouse soccer was on tuesday, and we S56 sure did do well beat the other 2 ursa teams to qualify for the matches next week. We’re probably the most sporty ursa class, especially in soccer, considering how the only 2 school players in ursa are in our class. Though I doubt I’ll have to play next week, seeing as how Jason could probably sub me next week, so I’ll be relegated to becoming a cheerleader again, though I’m not complaining, it’s gonna be fun, hope we do well…

Seeing as how today’s my bday, got presents from classmates yesterday. Thanks a bunch for everything you guys and NICE IDEA chrystal… I eventually got held down by jason and syamil while my hair got messed up styled by kai chun yin. Everyone said I looked like I just woke up and it was super messy, but after awhile I realised it looked kinda good, I guess after the hair didn’t spike as much and everything fell into place. So yeah thanks guys… i guess Though by no means am I going to style my hair anytime in the near future like that, it’s just too troublesome and I’m seriously too lazy. XD Love the new slippers and the Black Ghost deck, trust me when I say that I’m gonna put them to good use even without ever bringing them out of the house. I’ve learned my lesson with my Shadow Masters deck, Bicycle cards aren’t meant for Bridge/tai dee.

Had home based learning today, on my birthday itself… and before I say anything else, THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO WISHED ME A HAPPY BDAY Last year i got like 5 wishes I’m guessing? Closer to 20 this year, haha. Anyway home based learning was pretty alright and a new experience, though I still think school itself is much more fun, even with the 1 hour travelling time involved. Went out to Vivo again today and got to watch Hancock. It’s a brilliant plot and story in my opinion, and the action sequences are pretty cool as well. Though I have to say, the film has the “almost but not quite” feel. Every aspect of this film JUST fell short for some reason, the plot was great at first, but had no concrete ending in my opinion. The twists in the middle were really great but weren’t really that well explained… and some of the corny-ness could have been taken out. But overall, I’m really glad I got to watch this film :):)

It’s getting late and there’s school tomorrow again bed soon I guess…

decoding wingdings <3

Today was a pretty good day I have to say. School was pretty great fun (though I spent a lot of it asleep), had PE in the morning so I finally got some excercise after so damn long, though we played ultimate frisbee which was ultimately boring, but yet still more tiring than soccer surprisingly. Got to play ABIT of basketball (like 5-10 mins only -.-) which was great obviously, though I felt super stick/irritated the entire day because of how much I had sweat.

Anyway, finally got to watch Wanted today at PS was almost late, considering how I fell asleep in the bus and had to take it all the way when it looped back from orchard to the opposite side of dhoby. Thank goodness I was still in time I went into wanted expecting lots and lots of action and a crappy plot, and I got what I asked for, and little more. The action was so over the top it reminded me of 1990s shows where practically all the emphasis was placed on the action, but the special effects were so cool nonetheless. The plot made no sense for most of the movie, which was quite a bit of a letdown, since this film had a lot of potential to be a heck load better. Still, not complaining about spending 6 bucks to see a cool special effects film

I realise it’s been really long since I last walked around town before today, guess the last time was with Xiwen, speaking of which I haven’t replied her msg. On the off chance that you actually DO read this (which I HIGHLY doubt so), sorry.. i’ve been busy. Anyway, it’s refreshing to walk around orchard/dhoby again, not to mention talking cock quite abit. haha. Hope to waste time around town again soon ended up reaching home at like 11, and I should probably go sleep soon since my eyes are seriously closing on me. Ah well.

next week

be it from dusk till dawn or 4 to 10,
I realise one funny thing,
that no matter what we’re doing,
we just can’t stop talking.

I realise I’ve been neglecting this blog for a week now. Couldn’t really help it, since there’s really not much to talk about when mid years are going on. They sucked as expected, but exams seemed to be over really fast, which isn’t really surprising since I’m taking almost half the number of subjects I previously took. Unfortunately, i’ll be jumping for joy if I got an average D grade. The way things are going, it seems I’ll be lucky to get an average E. Exams are depressing enough, not to mention I should STILL be studying now, just a day after the exams are over, of course, should != will.

Went to watch You Don’t Mess with the Zohan after my last paper, expecting something downright hilarious and enjoyable, but seriously, you don’t mess with such an atrocious movie. In the end, I had to force myself to laugh. Their over the top sex jokes went overboard and weren’t even funny, the non sex jokes were just lame, too much of it relied on sandler’s accent which just made the movie all the more corny. I came out of the cinema wishing I had spent my money on kung fu panda or something else, because this seriously was a waste of my time and money. The only thing that was good was the popcorn.

Speaking of movies however, I can’t wait to go watch WALL-E. Being a Pixar film, that makes it a great film already by default. Though I doubt a movie about robots could match Finding Nemo, I’m betting it’s still gonna be worth my money

Spent most of yesterday and today stoning at home, nothing much to do as per usual and I sure as hell don’t have the mood to start mugging so quickly. I’ll just wait for my results to come back on monday to shock me back into reality I guess.

Started playing COD4 on my MBP, and it’s never looked prettier. Seriously, I have no idea what I was thinking, playing it on my 2 year old iMac. Not only does everything run faster and smoother and nicer, it also translates into me playing better so on that note, back to more COD4

Forget the CTs, I’ve seriously lost all the incentive to study, I havent even started on econs yet (no shit) and im not even completely done with physics and computing yet. Now come to think of it, I only got 4 subjects to study now, and I’m crumbling already. How the heck did I manage double the number of subjects to study for in secondary school?!

I’ve been lazing about this past 2 days, not getting that much work done, except yesterday when I actually managed to go through more than 40 pages of computing notes. The theory part messes with your brain seriously, I wonder how I’m going to handle econs if I can’t even do something I enjoy. Sigh.

I’ve turned to randomly surfing round the web on my comp, with nothing much else to do. Got so bored I actually went to the piano for awhile earlier, but didn’t go too well. One day hopefully:

I’ve put off blogging so long for tonight cuz I was soooooo tired just earlier. Went to school early in the morning (after 6 hours of sleep) for PW meeting which was basically 90% pointless as per usual. Then again PW as a whole is 100% pointless so I guess even our meeting was more… pointful. (yes i know there isn’t such a word)

Played basketball for awhile (like 20-30 mins) with kai chun after that, cuz neither of us could stand the afternoon sun, went to thai pan with hai as well, then me and kc headed back to school to “study”. We ended up finding the one and only IP classroom which had air con and was empty, sat on the couch, I took out jeffrey archer, he took out his psp, and we completely forgot about work obviously. Got chased out by the OM at around 4 cuz they were locking up the place so we headed to the canteen to finally start mugging, for real this time. I covered 14 pages of insane computing notes on the friggin system unit, while he read abit of sloman and gave in to his PSP shortly after that. Chat with calvin for abit since he walked past, and bryan came by and stole the bball between my legs. to go play. I joined him in like 10 mins since the lure of bball was simply too great.

That was at 5.30, I eventually left the court at 7.30.

Seriously, played with kc for almost an hour, he left, and I stayed back to play for another hour plus, alone. It’s been soooo long since I last played bball, and I don’t even recall exercising at all throughout the entire holis. That’s probably the reason why when I was finally done, I felt like crap. Blisters on both feet; legs aching with every step; thigh and calf on the verge cramping; arms feeling pretty weak, etc. I’ve never felt better this entire holiday Nothing beats this. Not to mention the only thing that stopped me from continuing was the impending darkness. If they had lights around the court, I’d probably never leave there till… forever?

While we’re on the topic of bball, ARGH, I can’t believe the lakers lost the finals to the celtics by friggin 39 points, how DO you get trashed THAT badly?

oh I know… ray allen must STILL be open in that corner somewhere. Argh

——————————————

Forgot to blog last night, I VISITED VIVO FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE and I got a feeling I only saw a fraction of it. Ah well, there’ll be other times, though not the sky park. It has couples at friggin 2pm in the afternoon, wonder what it’s like at night :/

Tried studying there, did so for 4 straight hours but was pretty unproductive, considering how i kept getting stuck on maths.

argh mother nagging, i shall continue this tomorrow. ARGH

Firefox 3 STILL isn’t here, it’s 2am already and it was due out an hour ago. What’s going on?! I think I’ll end up going to bed before it arrives, I do need to wake up slightly earlier tomorrow anyway.

Today was a relatively bad day once again, woke up in late in the morning, slacked around, played COD4, got around to studying ONE chapter of physics and falling asleep immediately after that (I seriously need coffee). Woke up, went to the piano for hours trying to figure out songs but got nowhere, so I came to the computer and here I’ve been for the past few hours.

At least I FINALLY wrote a post for Review Column, my first one in a really really long time, it’s refreshing and yet mind-numbingly boring to write again, but I’ll still do it nonetheless

time for bed

Woke up early in the morning at 10.30am (well… it IS early considering it’s the holis) to watch Lakers vs Celtics Game 5, and I must say, the Lakers are seriously seriously lucky they’re still in this thing. Though, as badly as I want them to win, I gotta admit, the Celtics are going home with the championship this season.

Played abit of call of duty 4 as per usual in the early afternoon, then my mother began to nag about how I had to swim one more time before school starts, so I just decided to get it over with and am here at src now… again. Swam, played pool and snooker (got beat by this random uncle who asked me for a game, could have totally beaten him if not for some careless and stupid shots :()

Anyway back down to B1 to plug in my laptop to finally talk to tcf after days… unfortunately the bloody kid HAD to come waltzing in here shouting his mouth off, thankfully, I plugged in my senheisers and all is well

Oh and Randomusings.com closed down a few months ago because I didn’t wanna foot over another 100 USD just to keep it running for another year, I’ve got smarter ways to spend my money on paypal. Decided to revive it again though on wordpress.com servers, because I suddenly realise how much I’d like to have another place to randomly rant about stuff that doesn’t concern my daily life. Unfortunately, randomusings.wordpress.com is already taken by someone who only updates every few months or so. After trying around with some other names, I’ve finally setttle on randomlymusing.wordpress.com :p

I tried importing my previous Random Musings posts, but it turns out I can’t find the backup I made just before the site closed down, either that or I didn’t make one. So the only backup I could find to import into wordpress dates back to august of 2007 or something. Though i have to say that’s probably when I stopped posting so regularly. But it’s anything but smooth sailing, lost ALL the pictures I put in my posts and no chance in hell am I going to go hunting for the pics to replace them all. I’ll just settle for weird white spaces in between lines where pictures used to be.

This time i’ll try to make sure I don’t screw things up again so I won’t have to go through this arduous process again.

———————————–

sunday monday tuesday
thursday friday saturday
all I’m looking forward to
is that one missing day

Like I said, computers will screw up no matter what. 2 days ago, my internet screwed up, yesterday,  my iMac screwed up, then today my external hard drive screws up. At least it took me quite little time to swap my enclosure for the older one I’ve had lying around. Still, taking lesser time to fix my computer stuff does NOT equate to more time to study, because I didn’t study AT ALL again.

Or more like I stll don’t understand a single crap of physics. It’s quite annoying actually, but nothing’s going in at all

And my parents want to drag me out at this time to eat, it’s 10pm for goodness sake. I’d very much rather walk over to northpoint, eat macs, walk back, done deal. But ohhhhh no, we gotta drive all the way out just to EAT… Sigh… off i go then…
