So Crowded...

Mood: Shattered & Tired
Venue: Home
Music: David Tao - I Love You

Another day has passed, being a little constructive at work today, though the progress seems to be getting slower and slower each day. Time crawls. But what to do, at this phase of my project, all of us are like reaching the peak or kinda break point. Cant wait to get it over and done with type of feeling. Everyone of us got the same mindset, which is to set off and start looking or hunting for job, our stepping stone soon!

Reached school around 10am or so, been thinking why there were like so many people walking in and out the premise, eventually i had found out that its RMIT Convocation today! Lotsa food caterers were trying their very best to set up at the hall area, cool shit as the whole place is crowded with lotsa graduates and their family members/friends. CANT WAIT FOR MY TURN! haha damn! But i guess mine will be held around march next year, no doubt i will actually finish my official days in less than 22 days. :P Guess by then, the excitement within will vanish cos it would have been 6months after that.

Back to my lifestyle, been sleeping pretty late these days, due to work/leisure/stubbornness or whatever reasons it may be, probably i will just fall sick soon so as to wake myself up from all this craps. *sneeze! oh darn..... alright i shall stick to healthy lifestyle soon, on the other to get prepared for myself too, gotta start working soon too. No more owl lifestyle for me.... :)

Holiday in Singapore! Yay!

Yep.. I'm home again... hehe.. sounds like i went for a holiday... yeah kinda, but its not overseas, i went for a one night stay in orchard hotel yest night. Checked in around evening period, 5pm. The hotel is pretty cool cos we changed to superior suite, think just needa top up around $40. Went up to 13th floor.... located our room.... and yep the first thing i did was to.... JUMP onto the bed first. Its damn shiok manz! :P

After settling down for like half an hour, we headed down to lido, just a 5 minutes walk down the road. The feeling is great whereby u can enjoy staying in town area. haha. Pretty crowded during a saturday evening, undecided on what to eat, so we sat down at the kfc benches after walking for like 2 rounds.

Saw this backdrop from nat's msn avatar, so reminded myself to take one too... But we were there to watch Ratatouille. :P Nice movie! Just as i expected to be. Cute! Cos my zodiac is rat too. Bleahz~ Came out from the theatre and saw lotsa ppl taking photographs with Ratatouille Poster, so didnt manage to drop by to take one. Nah its okie, another time.

After that, we headed back to hotel as planned, there is this pub at the hotel which my sis decided to chill at, got a live band there, 4 of them in total. The vocalists were extremely talented, was shocked when they can actually sing french, brazil, and even the jamaica or watever language. Thumbs up!! Maybe thats the reason why there were working over there.... We dedicated 2 songs, but only one of them are delivered, not sure why...nevermind, just the fun of it. :P

This is the mess we created... haha... just a sneak pic of my room. Decided to shrink the size of all the pics taken, to increase my uploading speed. Here, this is the corridor walkways...

Took a picture from the pub or bar, wonder if u guys can see the band and the white bunny girl behind. hehe... Oh manz... guess i'm drunk after drink the beer... darn! Cant afford to order chivas there. there goes my favourites.. Well its okie.. :P

Okie... saturday has finally passed, after squeezing in the room sleeping for like 8 hours, time to pack up and prepare to check out. Took my last bath there and off we go. Erm... calling it a day? Nah... Next destination is a cantonese restaurant at level 2, Hua Ting! Despite being like walking zombie, but the voices from the dim sum just spur me on. What a glutton ya? :P

Just take a look at my damn tiring face, my eyes can tell u all that i just wanna a sleep right? haha. Lets take a look at the other one.

Opps!! I think my legs, stomach or watever just betrayed me! HAHAHA... The next moment i am inside the restaurant drinking hot tea.... Lets see what stuff did we order... too hungry to take all of them, so i hope some of the pics are good enough. :P




Creative design layout by myself, but some itchy hands just added the 2 dark stuff. :(

Alright, i thought the activities should be coming to an end, got a shocked when they said why not we watch DEAD SILENCE! omg~~ I wanna faint already... haha.. its like movie marathon manz!

This is the kinda image i can project on my mind when i am walking around cathay just now....

**pardon me if there are any type, grammar mistakes as i am like typing n inserting pics in a flash mode. :P just bear with it first ya....

Accident do happen....

Yep indeed what the title depicts... A secondary school student got collided by a bus around my area. What a tragedy in the early morning when every student has to go to school as usual. All he wanted is to go to school and to prepare for his O Levels this year, parents promised to bring him for holidays after his exam, but he was taken away forever. Though he is just a stranger to me, but its really saddening to his family.

Suddenly, I've got this weird thinking... What would actually happen if you were just to die tomorrow, nothing is left behind for your family, no instruction, no will/instructions being left behind, no decisions made, everyone is so lost. You may just be gone for good, but the people around you will have to share the sorrows and pain. Life is really fragile and it would really be meaningless if you didn't live it to your fullest.

Erm... what have i done today? Well... been brainstorming for ideas, trying to figure out ways to solve a problem, making it as simpler as possible, till now although the logic flow is out and majority of the problem is being solved, but there is still a minor bug, its either i solve it entirely or leave it as it is. :P

Weekends is coming soon.... buddy sk is having his midnight cycling with his friend's adventurous club. Guess its time for me to get back to some sports events asap, really feel like playing tennis manz. Missed the days before i go army... :P I wonder if the ball will fly out of the court the moment i swing the racquet, hopefully my skills didn't deteriorate that bad. Favourite sports, cycling-tennis-tabletennis-baseball.... When will i have the time to do sports manz. Should i pick up roller blading as well? :P

OH MANNNNNNN...........

Picked up my handphone a while ago and saw a sms from an anonymous number... Opened up and saw the first line.... National Service Call-Up Notification. Nearly fainted... So fast! Its gonna be held next year Feb though... Reporting time is 7am... Arghh oh man......

Wonder if there are any of the guys from my batch got the same period as me.... :( Else I will be damn lonely...

Had a meeting with my group members today in school.... left school around 7pm... took the damn bus back again, so crowded and to make it worse, its an hour ride... :S

My course coordinator got transferred to another department wef on next week, something gone wrong internally? Luckily this is my last semester... but though its not a big deal anyway...

This Saturday RMIT side is having a BASH at St James... Discounted priced at $12.... got this feeling my buddy sk will be going down... haha... well its not my cup of tea though, as mentioned on the right panel that i dislike clubbing. :P Anyway, I wont be free as well, should be having a one night stay at one of the hotel at orchard, my sis got this complimentary stay... :P

Memories....

Title: How Did I Fall In Love With You
Artist: Backstreet Boys

Remember when, we never needed each other
The best of friends like
Sister and Brother
We understood, we'd never be,
Alone

Those days are gone, and I want you so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say
I never meant to feel this way
Don't want to be
Alone tonight

chorus:
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that, I resemble

I cannot pretend, that we can still be friends
Don't want to be,
Alone tonight

chorus:
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

Bridge:
Oh I want to say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know, oh yeah

I don't want to live this life
I don't want to say goodbye
With you I wanna spend
The rest of my life

chorus:
What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
Everything's changed, we never knew

How did I fall, in love, with you?

This is the song i had been listening to when i was back in my 3 months college days. Everyone is holding on to a discman back then. Missed those times with my close pals. Time really flies... been 6 years plus. :)

A busy weekend!

Today is a Sunday and its suppose to be a rest day for all of us. But it seems to be the most tiring day of the week. I wanna sleep now manz!

Woke up early in the morning today to prep for tomb sweeping, although its an one year once kinda event but it seems like i have drifted so much from this occasion, probably because i didn't go for the last one. :P It has always been a good practise to pay respect to your ancestors, but i feel that this spirit or tradition will not carry on to the next generation. But i do hope miracle will happen. :D

Been having big feast these days, and today again... eat eat and eat. Went to mall and saw bryan wong and patricia mok being the host for the family event thingie, he is damn tall in person. Could have participated as well, but i dont have 2 kids with me. darn! Cos the minimum prize is worth $500 value, be it cash or vouchers, its a win-win situation. :P

Oh yeah wondering how is jul doing with his monopoly competition from yesterday, if he is playing for today, it means that he is in the top 16. Gotta ask him soon. Hee!

I'm so tired now, feeling so much wanted to lie on my bed now but i cant. Gotta wrap up some stuff first before sleeping tonight. But my eyes are closing without my knowledge. *tom fetches 2 toothpicks! God! the weather is so cooling, i can just sleep anytime manz!

Erm.. will be having meeting on tuesday again. Time is running out. :P

Next movie on my list will be Ratatouille Dinner Affair and Evan Almighty! HEHEHE~

Perfect Stranger

Went to catch this movie after my meeting yesterday. Initially, the scene were quite boring, dull and not exciting. I almost fall asleep somehow. :P But the excitment came up around the mid part. The overall plot of this movie was quite good. I was so confused pondering who is the real murderer despite exposing some hints. Guess everyone inside the cinema must be suspecting Bruce Willis originally, until we caught hold of the right-hand techical guru. Everything is kinda kept in suspense and anticipation. None of the suspects was the real murderer. Its only towards the last few minutes of the show, they then released the truth. Too much vugarity though, was quite shocked too. hee..

Hooray!

Out of a sudden, i saw my msn email pop up, email from marilyn... for those who dunno her, she is my course coordinator. I am thinking how the hell did she get hold of my personal email address, something must be amiss. Quickly, i clicked on it!

TADA!!! this is what i just saw...

Hi Thomas, Your appeal for CSCI214-examination has been accepted and your marks/grades have been changed to 70marks - Credit in SOLS. Comments on your appeal from the UOW lecturer. A change of marks has occurred for this student. Please note that the grade has changed to 70 (credit) due to an error by lecturer in calculating this students marks. The change of grade will be reflected in the students record by tomorrow afternoon.

Facts or Fictions

Was listening to my brother yesterday that he mentioned about what his friend has seen few days back. Ever imagine when you sneeze with your nose pressed, trying hard to surpress the pressure, in fact something bad may happen to you. His friend actually witnessed a scene whereby the person eyes got popped out from her head. After listening to his bullshit, I have decided to find my good friend once again, google aka the grid computing!

Why is it absolutely impossible to sneeze with your eyes open?

One of the classic Odd Body Questions is why can’t I sneeze without closing my eyes. This question was answered in my first book, The Odd Body. The medical term for a sneeze is the “sternutatory reflex”. Almost all animals sneeze. A sneeze helps clear the nose and sinus regions while injecting oxygen into the cells of the body. A sniff does much the same thing. Nevertheless, a sneeze is a very complicated body action. Technically, a sneeze is produced when an irritant contacts the nasal mucosa, which in turn stimulates the trigeminal nerve, which in turn stimulates the pons and medullai of the brain, which in turn sets off additional nerve reactions, and so on. During a sneeze, tremendous stress is placed on the body. Considerable air pressure is place upon the eyes. This pressure is not enough to pop your eyes out of your head or even make them bulge out, but enough to make your eyes feel uncomfortable from the added pressure. According to Dr. G.H. Drumheller of the International Rhinologic Society in Milan, we close our eyes when we sneeze in order to keep the eyes from “extruding”.

Reference from http://www.theregister.com/2007/01/13/the_odd_body_sneezing_eyes_open/


oh yeah.. saw this while i did the above research. Someone did told me before that acne is caused by improper hygiene. Well, now i finally know its not true. :P

Fiction: Acne is caused is caused by improper hygiene

While it is true that acne is caused by blocked pores, better hygiene cannot prevent acne. All of the scrubbing in the world cannot unblock or prevent the blocking of pores, because the blockage is well below the surface of the skin.


Countdown... 48 days left.... mooo~~~~

Knocked out totally

Had a project group meeting yesterday, bathe and took my dinner upon reaching home. After less than an hour, I got knocked out totally and slept all my way through till this morning, this is how tired I'm. But the feeling is great after drinking some bourbon coke. :P

Oh yeah, I have just realised my uni actually awards student with Bachelor Degree and Bachelor Degree with Distinction. Sounds cool with the last word attached to your certificate i guess. Hee.. but sad to say, its all because of my last semester results that brought my average down by around 2 marks, hence i am left with 70.6% average now. :( Not sure if I have any chance at all to secure an average marks of 75%, but it sounds rather ridiculous if I am able to get that. HAHAHAHA!!!

For now, I have actually understand the people working with you in schoolwork, they can appear to be nice to you but on the other hand being a hypocrite, sometimes its really stupid playing a nice guy role for helping others, probably this is my character, soft-hearted (心太软) :S

Whatever it is, I will still work hard for my fyp and get myself out of this boring place. Another 52 days left... thanks for counting down with me. love ya!!
