Here is Part 5... Part 1-4 is below! Watch them it's damn funny!


The bored Me unfortunately visited his blog again, only to be stumped by the extensive use of bombastic vocabulary. In a way, it turned me off from wanting to proceed and finish the entry. But i couldn't help but felt that while i was reading storybooks, he was busily memorizing the dictionary.

I don't appreciate English music as much as some people. Neither do i care much about politics and the art. Being in FASS doesn't mean i am all arty farty. I realised that FASS encompassed many fields, and that each field are drastically different.

Maybe having grown up from a predominantly-mandarin family, and going on to a secondary school which emphasize on the importance on being bilingual, have in a way shaped my ease and preference of using mandarin. Not so much as ease, considering how everything is kind of substandard.

Chinese songs always seem easier to listen to, and i notice i will tend to speak mandarin to people whom 1)I know have no qualms about speaking mandarin, and 2) I feel close and comfortable with.

But back to the philosophers-friends, i never knew them as such till recently. Guilty to say for a Gemini boy, as the traits somehow always include "always delighted to have an intelligent conversation". I admit i do have intelligent conversations with Ken sometimes, or at least i think they are intelligent, but what i think differentiates these intelligent exchanges are the lack of pompous terms and more usage of singlish and mutual understanding.

One of His entry was about Repeal 377A, which in terms of the details i've heard about but not so for the term itself.

Revoke the ban on homosexuality?

As i've commented,

"i think that a male and a female are made to fit. =) It’s much less complicated this way. Imagine when homosexuality becomes the norm, (maybe in a thousand years?) who’s left to plant the seed and lay the eggs?

By then, perhaps we will need to rely on the stork. =)"

Burnt from Arts Open. Quite fun to be a referee for street soccer, but realised you really need to stamp your authority if not the players will climb all over you.

I got irritated by how much they complain about minor stuff. Be a man and play proper soccer la. Fair tackle also kp.

That applies to the Captain Ball teams also. I sympathise with Kenneth and Many. Haiz.

Sw2104 test was alright just now. And i am quite happy with my Stats results.

Gonna be a soccer referee tmr!

Here's Part 3...


So it's week 10. Wonderful. 3 more projects. 2 more term papers. Awesome.

Coach training for the past 2 sundays have been more or less what i've expected, except for some "stunts" that Gary pulled. There was more of "acting" and emphasis on states and emotions, almost as though we were attending some yan yuan shin lian ban.

Anyway, i've decided to challenge myself for the role i turned down earlier. I thought of how many more seasons i can coach and i realise i should grasp whatever opportunity that comes to improve myself further.

And my 4th handphone cover just cracked this morning. Plastic covers and me don't go well together.

Last night's games were exhilarating, yet it fell short in a way. The last 2 matches were fulfilling such that it not only gave us the confidence that we found a winning combination, it also allowed us to realise we could come back from the dead by not giving up so easily. However, i think on the other hand, we yearn for some proper teamwork competition.

In terms of teamwork and communication, we clearly had advantages by having each other side by side. I guess we need another of those lan-trashings to realise we really ain't that good.

3 proper matches were played in the span of 6 hours, with some moments of crazy battlefield and counterstrike because we miss shooting others' asses.

1st match was the 4v4 arsp. Kel, Ken, Ariel and me ended on the same team, with Julian on the other team stuck between me and Kel. Lineup was pretty obvious if nothing goes wrong, we would win comfortably, which we did.

2nd match finally allowed us 5 to be on the same team. We tested out our combination with me as Mag, Kel as Drow, Ken as Sil, Ariel as SK, and Julian as Lich. Lich and me were having fun tormenting Nec in the middle lane with our novas and shockwaves. And later on in the game when we were pushing down the bottom lane, we finally got the chance to execute our combi moves. Honestly i didn't expect such precise timing and accuracy from everyone. It was like clockwork movement and i was half-expecting someone to screw up somewhere. But anyway, good job guys.

3rd match... i guess in a way, a part of us got complacent. Most of us randomed and i got PA. It was a tough match with SK and Treant pushing down a lot from the top lane with their root and epic. Axe was 3-0 up on me early game. By mid-late game, our mid rax was down and bottom half gone. Julian was telling Kel it's GG for us and trust me, i think the rest of us felt that way too. Somehow for some unknown reason, they didn't push to end it. So i pushed back the creeps, got my MOM after Kel passed me his hammer for me to make my battlefury.
I don't remember much but Kel's Bear was pushing mid and he just chionged for KOTL and i was there so i helped him to kill. Axe came along and was killed by us as well. Then Bone ww along not knowing there was a ward and we got him off too. Somehow top lane i think Ken and don't know who killed off Treant so suddenly we got a huge advantage. Raxed their mid lane before I went top to rax while the others rax bottom. MOM helped damn a lot when i started mass killing them. Seriously, PA is crazily powerful late game.

Like what Kel said, if i am on the other team, i would feel damn bu shuang. =p

This is damn funny!! PART 1 of The Street Fighters: The Later Years ...


So, my parents flew overseas for a short holiday this morning.

I had another PF presentation just now and tutor brought up the idea of marking according to individual contribution rather than the whole group receiving the same marks. He wasn't agreeable on the idea and just wanted to know how we thought about it.

None of us raised up our hands for individual marking, or either we were just afraid of harming the group's harmony. But anyway, i was thinking of it and i think one of the obvious reasons why previous groups from other tutorial groups suggested individual marking is that there were freeriders in the group. This is one of the clear cut reasons.

And to build on it, because there are usually 4 groups in a tutorial group, 2 of them will present first before the next 2. What if the 1st group which presented did a fantastic job, resulting in the 3rd and 4th group being kancheong? Certain members of the group will certainly suggest to raise the bar and to meet up more, which may be impossible for others.

Hence, resulting in cases of difference in contribution and effort.

=)

Anyway, i wanted to write something about this female friend of mine. I only knew her last year when we were in the same OG. This is just a personal feeling about her which i feel is very special and worth mentioning. She struck me as someone who is as open as a book, meaning she won't hide her feelings about anything. We meet up for lunches weekly and it's amazing the things she can and dare to share with us over these meals.

Trust me, most people have their walls and guard up. But the way she talks about herself, about her bf, in such a casual and as-a-matter-of-fact manner, made me think of whether i've got other friends like her. And i realised she is one of a kind. True, sharing of things between friends are normal. BUT the way she says it, machiam everything is really no big deal... nothing to be shy about... make me respect her.

Somehow i just really like honest people... people who don't hide their feelings...

Alright time for bed. No school tmr!! YAHOOO!!!

So we've already established the fact that
things are gonna be different in the future baby.
And you've reiterated the fact that you don't
want to get into something that's just gonna have to end later.
Now I know our lives are changing and I've seen
it coming for a while too, don't get me wrong.
And I've been going outta town baby it's gonna happen more,
we gotta be strong but now

I know you gotta go to university and I'm just trying to make some cash to follow my dreams.
But please don't say we're too busy to give each other the time and support we need
I know we gotta work our jobs and make some money to get by in this expensive world.
Don't let that overtake the fact that before all that, you were still my girl.

Someday someday.

Tense moments. Helped to spice up the otherwise boring life laden with projects.

Never ever attempt to overtake me when i am on the right lane. I really hate it. Most of the time you won't succeed anyway... so don't.

3 randoms for the night!

I am generally very happy and i like to see the funny side of things.

I don't usually let people affect me, unless they are really close. That's why i don't put so much personal emotional involvement into the new friends i meet.

I don't let the "evil-doers' happiness" compromise mine. =)

Anyway i just came home not too long ago. "OG outing" with the Tailwind people.

Pretty awesome how so many of us still meet up after 1 plus year. Went for Resident Evil 3 at Cathy before going to Rochor Tau Hway for supper. Topic of the night was about Bryant's waking up time, his job as a farmer ... no i am kidding but it's an analogy to him being very very guai.

Oh RE3 no good leh. Don't watch. Unless you like to be scared by zombies suddenly coming out and all those sound effects. Or maybe you like Milla Jovovich going braless througout 80% of the show.

It happened more than half a year back and it's happening again.

Can i sum it all up by simply saying that MOST 19-20 year old girls think and think and think and think too much and are seriously cannot handle their emotions well AT ALL? They mind too much about what others think, even of themselves.

But anyway if you read it here, don't mind it at all. I know and understand that you are still young. I just don't want to say it in your face because i am nice. Or perhaps i ain't. Perhaps i just expressed myself better sitting in front of a computer. Or maybe i just didn't sort out my thoughts just now and those zombies at Resident Evil kind of helped me.

I am a straightforward person, and you tell me that i must be mindful of others' emotions. If you know me well enough, you know you can't take most of what i say too seriously. Or maybe i should say it in the AK way; if you can't take it, TOO BAD!

Okay maybe i shouldn't just target the female population. This applies to people of both genders who are overly confident of themselves and think that they are larger than the group.

True... you are zai. Your ideas are damn good. They are the ideas that will get you the A.

But good leaders listen.

No matter how zai you are. The more zai you are, the more you should listen. The more zai you are, the more humble you should be. If you don't, you are simply just a egoistic person who is running the show all by yourself.

You changed the script. Who was in charge of it? Yixian, Me, Candy and Cordelia.
You cut me totally out of the video. Did i make a hoohaa about it? NO. Shouldn't i be the one upset?
He told me that i will need to do more for the presentation. I accepted it wholeheartedly.

So why the hell did YOU go upset? Somehow i hate it when people go upset. It's just me. But i assure you this time it's not without reason.

I only told you i made changes to your powerpoint presentation. BECAUSE I AM GOING TO PRESENT. I made changes to the questions and solutions part because i feel that my design layout is better. ALL YOUR POINTS ARE STILL INSIDE.

And you sat there quietly for a few minutes before going outside to cry.

Do all you girls do that?

Somehow it's embarassing for me to ask that question considering my field of study. So much for gender studies eh?

Oh when the shocking stimulant comes in, it isn't logic and reasoning which get into the brain, but instead, fear and negative emotions take over. BLAH BLAH BLAH.

When we were filming last week, i knew you 2 were sian. I know how you both are like in terms of characteristics and personality. Can't allow others to lead for a moment? Can't accept others' ideas? That's why today i went in accepting that i have to take a back role. There cannot be too many leaders in the group. Everyone's leading, who's following?

Maybe one other small reason i can come up with is that i didn't turn up for the meeting on sat, and that prompted me to make lesser decisions in the group.

When we said we are going to film a trailer and its a group project, surely everyone has a part? Cutting me totally out isn't really teamwork you know? AND I FREAKING DIDN'T MAKE A FUSS.

If you are going to do the video, do the presentation and everything else, then what the fuck am i going to do?

I for one, is alright with slacking. Sure i might feel some guilt but if in the first place you told me you are gonna do everything and that i don't need to bother lifting a finger, i will by all means do my best not to contribute at all. Sure why not? All the more time to sleep.

And please, don't EVER complain that you are damn stressed and tired because you've been working so hard. Choices have consequences. =p There's such thing as delegation of work.

For my sake and for everyone's sakes, this is a group project. Make it a learning experience for everyone even if we are not as zai.

Trust me i am not angry, nor dulan. =) (Haha i am damn contradicting la now i realise. If i ask people don't take me too seriously, then writing this will mean i am just sarcastic.) Oh i know. I am really damn chilled. =)

I just need to get this off my mind i guess. No space liao.

Haha speaking of which, Kenneth said something that day that surprised me. I told him what i was thinking about concerning one of the dota matches we played. Then he replied, "Wah you one match also think until so detailed."

I really think a lot about things.

Recently there has been an ongoing talk about my sister's university education. I don't even remember talking about mine until i received my results, and she hasn't even taken her A's.

Haha but oh well... i was such a playful students with lousy grades so i didn't even think so much. But anyway, after much persuasion from my mum, my sis has pretty much decided on doing actuary. Pretty unheard of but it's a good field of study for my sis la. Maths and stats and stuff.

NTU's Actuary course came up and i was persuading her to consider SMU's School of Economics. Then this morning they went down to Australia's University study fair and it's been narrowed down to ANU and Uni Melb.

There was quite a lot of talk about the costs and fees but i figure if she does well enough, scholarship application won't be a problem.

Haha oh well... it never struck me that she may consider to study overseas, but if it's actuary that she's studying, then ANU will be the best choice.

Jiayou!! =)

Nothing to blog about so i went to Zouk 2 nights back. =x

Got free entry from the citibank clear card so why not.

Haha. Anyway, it was a haps night. Girls love to elbow me. I don't know why. And it's not those accidentally type but those i-purposely-stick-out-my-bony-elbow-into-your-back... which got me damn pissed.

There were 2 fights. First one was quite major with lots of bouncers bouncing up to the dancefloor and dragging a bunch of guys out. I don't quite like fights cos firstly, i am not part of it =p... haha kidding but ya when there's a fight, from one side will will shove and shove so that everyone will go woooohhhh and everyone will start falling down.

The second fight was somewhat similar, except i've got no idea why no bouncers came up. Maybe they were all fighting with the guys from the first fight. Then the "lao da" of one group who is big but calm had to chup in and control everyone. So much finger-pointing and the guy was beckoning the other guy to go outside to settle.

I still remember the first few times i clubbed with alison, she always thought i wanna get involved in the dancefloor fights. Damn funny.

This week is crazily filled with late nights. Rawr!

This few days had been quite hectic, what with having both abnormal psych and stats mid terms on thurs and design mgt assignment due on friday ...

Abnormal psych killed us all, or at least me... freaking hard la. At least surprisingly, stats was easy. The MCQ part was allmost like an english test.

"_______ is to _______ is like independent variable is to dependent variable." =p So many questions were like that la...

Anyway went to play dota last night again. Haha it's been a routine but we got owned pretty bad the last round when we played with Julian's friends in the lanshop. Sadly, bnet has been a hunting ground for us and we were all pissed with all the leavers. Playing 4v5 didn't help either because 1)we still won or 2)they still leave.

So we were quite glad when Julian's friends came up and asked us for a game. He told us they are quite good but i think complacency got into us even though we used our "best" heroes.

AAR concluded that their heroes combi is much much better, typical of a competition group combi. They had sandking, enigma, luna and tidehunter.

We had bloodseeker, dragonknight, silencer and lightning revenant. Haha we didn't quite have a plan cos we just always just play like this. Mostly it's just randoming.

Luna was allowed to farm way too much and he had 2 eaglehorns which was disgusting. Enigma and sk's combi couldn't be stopped even by silencer cos TH was just irritating with his ulti and being so fat with life.

I managed 2 or 3 kills early in the game with rupture but they started sticking together so i didn't manage to get my relic in time so by mid game, i was pretty much useless against SK and TH. But still it was a good game, made us realised we need more of this kind of proper group games and stop playing public games on bnet.

When you become friends for more than a year, the colour of clothes you wear tend to be very similar!
