timooo excite! October 5, 2007 - Subscribe

i recently re-discovered the pains and joy of actually buying an album off the shelves. its been so long since i'd bought a cd from cd stores that my recent buy was quite an experience. somehow just sitting in front of your com and clicking buttons doesnt have the same effect. like how excited you get when you finally spot the cd you're looking for like how you've bought the cd and you just have to unwrap it in the bus on your way home like how come the bus ride seems so long cos you jus wanna get home and pop the cd in your hifi like how you jus flip thru the insert with all the pics and lyrics throughout ur bus ride like the moment where you pop the cd into the player and the time you have to wait til the music actually starts like how most of the new fir songs are really nice =D anyway, its such a refreshing experience! a bit of excitement in an otherwise mundane life. probably didnt appreciate this in the past cos life in the past was definitely more exciting. last day of school today. shall post my thoughts abt it soon. adios (: tag xl haha yeah you would probably noe better since ure a dog-owner! heh josh all the best to u too! haha was jus a random post khyrul woof! bec im still very much sane. haha or maybe not. i need some qweeekatherapy! cl hmmm so that makes you a cock rite? haha yeah and V's a hen! heh kiddin

yesterday was officially the last day of school, of life in vj. actually, i can't really talk much about it. my heart never really belonged, and i guess that's really the difference between me and others. obviously, its not all that bad. i was lucky enough to get into a friendly enough class, a fun pw group and hopefully i can count those that i know as friends. s56 really has a unique but great mix of people. maybe i'll be frank here and just say what my first thoughts were when i first joined s56: -so many dunman high boys. die. -some guy who calls himself shuaige. give me a break, man. -only 9 girls in the class. and most arent exactly lookers. dang. -EIGHT scholars? wow that's gonna be fun. -4 vs guys (yay!) but all of them are from cricket? adeh. -wow, that guy looks handsome. -wow, that girl looks handsome. (and i can go on forever) but my fears were really unfounded. the dunman high boys all speak english (heh), the girls are nice and friendly, the scholars can be fun when they want to and the vs guys are a great source of inspiration when i wanna slack. though that guy still calls himself shuaige, i'll cut him some slack since he's a 4As student who whispers answers to me every now and then when some teacher asks me a question during tutorial. haha actually i think everyone in class is special in a their own unique way; and its been fascinating to know them: how cl is forever acting gay even though he has a gf, how yw swoons over van, how xl flirts with van and vice versa, how short (but nice) van is, how dark sock is, how many pullups yw can do, how silvia goes on and on about some eye candy, how jh keeps on fishing, how kamal keeps on surfing, how lu zhuo got deceived by cl over cricket, how apa asked everyone for theri friggin CGFIC, how zwing speaks so british-ly, how cs seems to be good in every sport he plays, how shafiq can make anything sound funny, ... ... i could seriously go on and on and on. but on the flip side, if i dont count the class, vj life is actually...... empty. its been 2 difficult years, to tell you the truth. joining as a second intaker is really tough; after adapting to another school already, you're dumped in somewhere where you have to start fitting in again, and its really hard to selit when everyone else is just about settled already. orientation 2 being crappy does not help either. (no gay "yo vjc"-es for me; vs spelling cheers are the way to go) before i start getting all ranty-ish, i've been lucky enough to have met some great teachers. actually all the tutors are great teachers one way or another. even mr kan (yes). if you compare him to the other old hags who teach gp, i'd rather take him. he's actually a nice guy, and gp being boring isnt really his fault since its already a boring subject. even mr gi, who has unconventional teaching methods but the right chu1 fa1 dian3 - he wants us to think and do well. need i mention the rest? mr lee's been a great and caring CT, not to mention an interesting econs tutor; ms ng has been so patient with my lousy physics results that i wonder how she stands it; mr teo is quite fun at times but is serious when need be; while mrs toh is friendly and even treats us to her home-made muffins! IN CONCLUSION, gp rocks. nah kiddin. haha actually what i wanna say is that i wont remember vj for its short skirts, nor its smelly toilets, but i'll rmb it for s56. cos without them, vj would have been a drag. thank you(:

found this on another cartoonist's site, and i think its so relevant nowadays. whacky names for your significant other half. calling ur gf 'cupcake' sounds sweetish, but a girl calling her bf 'cupcake'? hmm. but then love is blind, and probably deaf too, so it doesnt really matter when you're head over heels over someone. actually it does sound rather cute. when you're that much in love, no matter what she calls you, it just sounds the same; sweet. sticky stuff, really.

timooo addictions October 11, 2007 - Subscribe

Are you addicted to studying? The causes of addiction have been studied "since the beginning of time" (yw chua). Addiction is caused by the emo-ness (or emotion) the behavior brings about in the user. The body and mind become dependent on that feeling and seeks to maintain it so that the law of conservation of feelings is adhered to. There are addiction risk factors that make some people more likely than others to become addicts. Studies show that sometimes addictions can be hereditary. The child of a full-time mugger may not grow up to be a full-time mugger ; however, they may become addicted to solving physics problems or some other type of compulsive behavior as they grow up. Besides hereditary, individuals who grew up in families with little chocolatey food, no meat and adopt a "life is fragile" (cl ho) mentality are more likely to become addicts. For most addicts, it can be extremely difficult to recognize that what they have associated as simply a habit is actually an addiction. Oh yes (van). While every individual is different (scientifically proven, tried and tested) there are some symptoms that are prevalent among most addicts and addictions: -being unable to give up that behaviour e.g. bringing your econs notes into the toilet when you need to do business for an extended period of time, doing physics tys while chomping on ramen (the food-court experiment, 10 Oct 2007), etc. -the need to engage in that behaviour increases over time, meaning that the gradient (that is, dy/dx) of the curve will become steeper and steeper. -has tried but failed to stop the behaviour e.g. when a supposedly relaxing day at the pool turns into a physics discussion on the archimedes principle, upthrust, hpg, resultant force, how objects float, etc. -continues to engage in the behavior or use the substances even when they are aware of the dangers e.g. persisting in calculating the linear regression coefficient using the formula and spending 10 minutes on it rather than spending 10 seconds punching a few buttons on the calculator (simon? hmm) -deriving high amounts of satisfaction from what normal people view as asinine activities e.g. other people's idea of having fun is "having some retail therapy" (timo the emo eskimo shopaholic); you'd rather sit at home and work on your gp skills (vague!) -unable to meet responsibilities in other areas of life e.g. ps-ing a movie date to go home and look up that diagram on how negative externalities can be managed by taxing the externality or taxing the product Answering yes to one or more of the above symptoms during a 12 day period may show that you or a loved one has an addiction. The first step to treating an addiction is recognizing that it exists. Oh yes, it does. There is no cure for an addiction. Treatment and counseling can help (vague!) an addict to learn how to control their behavior, withstand impulses (i.e.change in momentum) and recognize the presence of a problem, but an addict is never cured. Treating an addiction can take years and requires ongoing support from friends, families and teachers who dont force you to do homework. A 12 step program can be particularly beneficial in treating an addiction. One of the most well known 12 step programs is Muggers Anonymous. There are similar programs for specific types of addictions, such as Physics PartyPoopers, Econs Enemas, etc. The information contained in this article is for educational (right.) purposes only and is not intended to medically diagnose, treat or cure any disease.

ive been living out in the living room these few nights. hey, that's the whole point of having a living room right? living in it? but seriously, yeah ive been sleeping in the living room. and that, is due to the fact that my room's aircon is spoilt! spoilt leh. at such an opportune time, jus 12 days (*gasp*) before the big day (*gasp*). so sleeping in the living room is the only viable alternative since its the next best available choice as somewhere with aircon. but i dont like it. cos it means im the last person in the house to sleep since otherwise my parents will be walking in and out and sound of footsteps arent exactly a lullaby. it also means that its not as cold as my room was since the Intensity = Power / Area and the area of the living room is almost 3 times my room, intensity is super diminished. plus, i'll get woken up in the morning when dad leaves for work at 8 plus. its so early! also, i have to contend with lizards for living space, since they like to appear at night and run around the floor. it also means that there isnt much privacy since our parent's room's door opens straight into the living room, which means i cant sleeptalk, sleepsing, sleepwalk, sleepdance or sleepfantasize. boy, what a tough life. the worst thing is that my aircon cant be fixed so soon since it'll hafta be a major refurb job cos the aircon guy says some pipes are spoilt and stuff, and if we change the aircon now the house will become a frigging construction site. which is not conducive for studying (if that wasnt obvious enough) so the more effective short term plan would be to install one of those small window aircon units. i hate this plan, actually. it totally destroys the aesthetics of my room by having 2 aircons, and i dont wanna lose a window and lose a view of the outside world! short term solutions are just not it. urgh. tag cl hmm not really but related. haha tell u another time. bec okaaaaay. chill k? i was jus saying your hair looks so much nicer in the pic than in reality :D

studying at the library has its good and bad points. here's some of mine. being the positive person that i am, i'll spell out the positive points first: 1) super frigging enjoyable aircon! after days of trial and error, ive found the single coldest spot in the entire library. and hogged it ever since. woot. 2) bored? take your mind off studies for a while and look around. confirm got at least 1 eye candy in the vicinity (unless you're lurking in the newspapers section where all the ah peks are) 3) still bored? listen out to announcements of storytelling sessions for children aged 4 to 8, then go sit in next to some kid and pretend your his/her sibling while getting entertained yourself 4) freedom! to sit any way you want, any way you like. fold your legs up, hug your knees, use the bench as a table, sit on the floor with your legs stretched out.... anything goes. 5) more freedom! no girl at the counter staring at you to make you buy another drink, no spending money on unhealthy food, no distraction of fries and ketchup now, some of the negatives: 1) refer to point 1 above. your feet tend to get frozen after awhile, especially if you decide to take off your slippers to sit in a more comfortable position. 2) refer to point 2 above. always always always make sure there's no jealous boyfriend next to that sweetie you're eyeing 3) sometimes you happen to be right next to those quarrelling/kissing/screaming aunties/couples/kids and it does get distracting. 4) no eating! i wanted to put it on the list of positives, but that would be going to the extreme a wee 'lil bit. okay i guess thats about all for today. adios (:

You ALWAYS buy real software and DVDs. ALWAYS. You never order appetizers at a restaurant. Your Chinese handwriting really sucks. You build a mountain of salad when you eat in Pizza Hut.

You show off your mobile phone that you got in Hong Kong "for cheap." Your luggage is near empty when you arrive in HK, and it's full when you leave. You expect to pay for transport in other countries with your Octopus card, only to be disappointed. If your are a guy you are really interested in military stuff (guns, aircraft, tanks), but you’re too pussy to be a soldier.

Owning a Mercedes Benz means you are well off, but it's nothing compared to owning a lawn mower - the ultimate status symbol. You feel like you've gotten a good deal if you didn't pay tax. If you're a guy, you wear basketball shorts as pajamas. Your mother used to hit you with a chicken-feather duster and shout "da sei lei!" You beat eggs with chopsticks instead of a fork. You like Chinese films in their original undubbed versions. You're in another country and everything moves so slowly. You like congee with thousand year old eggs. You prefer your shrimp with the heads and legs still attached. You're in love with David Beckham. More for the ladies, but some of you guys do too You use a face cloth. You use a clothes line. You starve yourself before going to all you can eat sushi. You miss the MTR, and Red Taxis. You know someone who can get you a good deal on electronics. Chinese food in other countries doesn't taste right. You never discuss your love life with your parents. Your parents are never happy with your grades.

You're in another country and you try to make a local call, but wtf? you have to pay for it! You have a 40 lb. bag of rice in your kitchen. You've had a bowl haircut at one time in your life. Your parents compare you with their colleagues' nerdy kids. You've mastered the art of bargaining. You eat bak choy.

You make a list of things to do and buy when you get back. You have no eyelashes. Your parents expect you to be best friends with nerds. And always tell you your cool friends are bad.

timooo footprints October 30, 2007 - Subscribe

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints. So I said to the Lord, “You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?” The Lord replied, “The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you.” i know ive posted this before, but i thought it's always a good reminder. like what alex messaged me, with god nothing is impossible. god piggy-backed me today! computing p1 physics p3 tag bec' well u dun exactly need to study much nowadays, dun you? haha ur days at the library are over! van yup. dun you love her. haha khyrul haha he's ain't stupid, he's from hong kong! gloria thanks (: im waiting too. haha
