I have decided to change my MSN picture and Friendster Primary Picture. Some people might know why, some people might not.


Doesn't matter anyway.


Let me start the sane portion of this post with the question: "Why do humans have emotions?"

The answer is in my psychology text but I'm too tired in the heart and brain to even try to comprehend it.


I'm on the verge of giving up. But I'll never forget this year. The 8 months of emotion, fluctuating, happy, sad, angry, calm, tired, energetic.

I'm tired of it, and it would take a simple word to make or break this "on the verge of giving up" thing.

I know not many people read my blog. Let's list them out. If you're reading this and your name's not mentioned, please tell me on the tagboard. ok.
-Val
-Talz(rarely)
-Jes(super rarely, I think twice only)
-Mel
-Clar
-Vann
-Jie
-Kor(sometimes)
-Flo
-Sandra
-Julie
-Michelle
-Jerry(sometimes)
-Quanlin(super rarely)
-Sijia(once, or twice)
-Junjun(once?)
-Pris, Edwin, Kenneth(linked from val)
-Anonymous(occasionally)

Yeah, to all these people, thanks a lot for putting up with the quizzes I do here, and the fact that the only actual blogging posts are all emotional and moody, including this one.

Like I said, I'm on the verge of giving up.

Hello dear readers.

The week's been depressing and quite hectic.

Monday
Usual Monday, with the freaking HTM PBL project being given to us, then afternoon there was ESFAC quiz, found it quite ok, apart from the fact that I lost about 3 marks already. That's quite a lot, when you only have 10 marks to spare besides passing.

The only ray of light in school was the Math quiz from the previous week. I got 29 out of 30. I found it quite incredible too, cos the day before the quiz, I went to the VTCC chalet and didn't sleep the whole night. I spent the whole day nodding off and slept in the lib after reading comics after lunch, when everyone around me was mugging for the math quiz. And there, 29/30. Quite a good thing.

So I went home with quite high spirits, packed for training and left. But sadly, Jes didn't come. Many people didn't go too, and it was raining. So depressing. So I left after 7.30 instead of staying. Rest of the night was fine though.


Tuesday
Day was not bad, I managed to stay awake during the 2-hr ESFAC tutorial. Went home and went out again to Eastpoint Mall with my sis for a late lunch. Walked around the place quite a bit before leaving for TMS.

Reached there, as usual Mr Glosz was conducting the band. Duh. I saw their new SYF set piece. It's called Singapore Sunrise and Safari. It's freaking easy. The amount of semiquavers in the percussion scores were COUNTABLE. So much for a competition piece.

After main band ended I went to eat dinner with some of the alumni band people at Bedok Corner. Then went back for Alumni Practice.

Surprise, Joel came back. 2 years since he stepped in there. So there were the sec 4s, and Joel, and me. 6 percussionists. And JingQin is coming next week too. Now we don't have enough parts to give everyone.

After practice, I got depressed for the weirdest reason. So much so that I had to try to sleep to stop thinking. Sort of worked.

Today, Wednesday
Brought my freaking heavy laptop to school today to do the REBUS project. Quite fruitful though, after searching the library, we found what we wanted. TBP lecture was surprisingly filled. And Psycho was not bad also. Then I went home, and now I'm typing this.


Yes, that's my week so far. Try to count the number of Laughs in this post. Hope Friday will turn out happier. Thursday can't be happy, apart from Violin lessons.

Dinner time, Bye.

Some lame shit...

Hard of hearing
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set ofhearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctorsaid, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again." The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet.I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"

Body ache and loss of motor skills
Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: "Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?"Slim says, "I feel just like a newborn baby." "Really !? Like a newborn baby !?" "Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants".

Forgetful
An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating,the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly". The other man said,"What is the name of the restaurant?"The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name ofthat flower you give to someone you love? You know... the one that's redand has thorns.""Do you mean a rose?" "Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of thatrestaurant we went to last night?

Husband & Wife being forgetful
During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, butthey might want to start writing things down to help them remember. Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair."Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asks."Will you get me a bowl of ice cream ?" "Sure." "Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it ?" she asks."No, I can remember it." "Well, I'd like some strawberries on top too. Maybe you should write it down, so's not to forget it ?"He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries." "I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down ?" she asks.Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Icecream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake !"Then he toddles to the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returnsfrom the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment. "Where's my toast?"

Heart Problem
Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A fewdays later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morrisand said,"You're really doing great, aren't you?"Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'"The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; becareful.'"

Hahaha I just got this in an email from my MUM. Who would have guessed it eh. It's quite funny, and quite true. Even though it sounds egotistical, I guarantee all females that men still love them anyway.

When they're happy, that is.

(The ones in bold are for the girls to brood over. hahahaha)
Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures?

Your last name stays put.
The garage is all yours.
Wedding plans take care of themselves.
Chocolate is just another snack.
You can be President.
You can never be pregnant.
You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.
You can wear NO shirt to a water park.

Car mechanics tell you the truth.
The world is your urinal.
You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky.
You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn A nut on a bolt.
Same work, more pay.
Wrinkles add character.
Wedding dress: $5000.
Tux rental: $100.
People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.
The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.
New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.
One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.

You know stuff about tanks.
A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.
You can open all your own jars.
You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.
If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.
Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.
You almost never have strap problems in public.
You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
Everything on your face stays its original color.
The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.
You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life.
Your belly usually hides your big hips.
One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons.
You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.
You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife.
You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.
You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier.


haha I like the last one. Alright. Have a nice day everyone.

Friday was a good day.

Met Jes and Mel at training after their LONG LONG LONG LONG hiatus. Each LONG = 1 month. hahaha. Ate dinner with them and Vann at the prata place again. Like old times. Old being about 5 months ago. hahaha.

Btw, if you haven't read The 51 things Gals don't know about Guys, it's in the post below. If you don't have the time to read, just scroll down and read the ones in BOLD. They're the ones that I think are the most true. hahaha


Goodnight.

Thursday, November 16, 2006

Right, I'm blogging from TP library right now.

Some Updates.


Quan Lin's link is now workable. hahahah Don't know if anyone remembers that I said his link was for nothing but seeing the page "BLOGGER NOT FOUND".


Koped something from there. I mentioned it in the last post.

51 things gals duno abt guys..

1. Guys hate sluts.
2. "Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" ~ two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.
3. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
4. Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they're gonna say so there aren't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.
5. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.
6. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.
7. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're goin for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.
8. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.
9. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.
10. Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend.
11. Guys get jealous easily.
12. Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.
13. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...nevermind.." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.
14. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.
15. Guys hate asking parents for money to buy girls presents. So they come up with ideas like saving their lunch money for a week. But it never works because guys are always hungry so they end up asking the parents for money anyway.
16. Girls are guys' weaknesses.
17. Guys are very open about themselves.
18. It's good to test a guy first before you trust him. But don't let him wait too long.
19. Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend.
20. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.
21. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.
22. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.
23. Guys will brag about anything.
24. Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful. If a guy uses that, he likes you.
25. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.
26. Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.
27. Any guy could write out a rulebook or advice book for flirting, but no guy can write out a book about relationships.
28. Try to be as straightforward as possible.
29. A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be mature and grown up.
30. If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.
31. No matter how much guys talk about asses and boobs, personality is key.
32. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience.
33. Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and being whipped.
34. If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.
35. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.

36. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."
37. Guys don't really have final decisions.
38. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.
39. If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.
40. When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something.
41. Guys like femininity not feebleness.
42. Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.
43. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.
44. Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.
45. Everything in moderation. Put on makeup, wear perfume. Just not too much.
46. Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.
47. Guys hate rejection, but they hate being led on even more.
48. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.
49. A guy would give his left nut to be able to read a girl's mind for a day.
50. No guy can handle all his problems by his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.
51. Not all guys are *******s. Just because ONE is a jackass doesnt mean he represents ALL of you.

Hahah This is damn funny la. Alright, got class now.

Tuesday, November 14, 2006

Oh yes, people please go and read The 51 things Gals don't know about Guys from Clarissa's blog. Her link is in my list, just scroll down.

For girls(who will probably make up 95% of the population of people who read my blog), it's quite true, generally. Though some cases are for some guys only. hahahahah.

For guys, just go read it anyway and have a good laugh at yourself.


Leaving for school now. One hour before I go off to NDC to lessen the space between the bits of metal in my mouth.

Bye.

Okay. I wanted to go sleep already, but I chanced across this wonderful inspirational video. It was created by some guy doing a Master's in Animation. KIWI! is his thesis animation.

This video is about hard work and sacrificing huge things for a life long goal.

Have fun watching. I almost cried at the end. Feeling quite emotional lately.

You'll have to click the link though. I can't get blogger to embed it.

KIWI!

Thursday, November 09, 2006

Right. I'm back, but only because I really have NOTHING else to do.

So. Past week's been fine, with philyouth rehearsals starting again, playing christmas pieces. Poly's been fine too, with the lousy lecturers trying to teach us stuff that are in the handbook as if we cannot read it for ourselves. Not all the lecturers are bad though. There are the good ones who really know how to keep the class's attention.

Life's been quite ok for the past 3 months. With it's ups and downs, lefts and rights, forwards and backwards, implosives and explosives.... you get the idea.

Yeah, past three months have been just a little more than ordinary. 8 days.

Life is just about to get better and nicer.

But for now, Goodnight everyone.

Saturday, November 04, 2006

Alright, Firstly, I'm sorry if my previous post caused any panic among my friendship circles, but I'm really quite fine, actually. I actually posted the thing ONCE, but the page told me there was an error. I posted 3 times again, with the same results, so I gave up.

BUT! When I viewed my blog, there they were, THREE of them. And I was so lazy that I didn't bother to delete them, but now I have! So there's a only ONE left, as a memory to that period of severe neural damage I encountered.

Got this from Florence's Blog. Done it before, but what the hell.

Forgiveness is the greatest act a person can ever perform.

7.Have you talk about marriage with another before ?
Yes, definitely. My mum keeps telling me to marry the right girl. And the only female who would definitely be wrong would be a transvestite.

8.Do you want children?
Yes, aren't children cute.

9.How many ?
I don't know...

10.Would you consider adoption ?
Yes, why not?

11.If someone likes you right now ,what do you think is the best way to let you know her feelings?
Just tell me.

12.Do you enjoy getting into a relationship?
If getting into a relationship wasn't enjoyable, every couple in the world would never have gotten married.

Erm. Arm round the shoulder? Posing for photo.

Yes. It definitely exists. It's visible everywhere la.

I believe everyone is, only some people lack the tenacity to show it, like me.

16.Do you believe you can change someone?
Yes. Ever happened.

17.Do you easily give in when you are fighting ?
Yes. Peace to the world.

18.Do you have feeling for someone right now?
I feel for everyone in the world hahaha.

Yes.

2o.Had you ever broke a heart?
I don't know.

21.If one day your best friend falls in love with the girl you are deeply in love with ,what would you do?
My best friend would be the girl I am deeply in love with. HAHAHA.

22 .Are you missing someone right now?
I miss everyone in my life.


Done. Goodnight everyone.
