Crawling to the finishing line.

(Now these pictures are totally random n have absolutely nothing to do with what i'm blogging HAHA. Just some DnD pictures from last year.)

"Stacy's supposed to be some buxom babe from Bleach... "

Distracted. Now's the time to be concentrating on the final sprint to the exams, studying everything i've postponed for so long. But i can't find the zest to do it. Partly because i don't see the point of it all, and that the past few days have been littered with little pleasant and not-so-pleasant things that's just keeping me... distracted.

" Yayi and I, he's supposed to be some character from streetfighter n i'm supposed to be stephen chow from kung fu hustle"














Fear. This is the bugger that's been my driving force. Fear of not doing well. Fear of trying your best but you're just not it. Fear of losing out. Fear of rejection. Fear of failure. Ironic how i think i'm fairly successful in averting the abovementioned... but one can't be truly happy with the success of avoiding failure right? Time for things to change.



Thankful. Yeah but in all honesty, i'm happy with things as they are. yeah sure life sometimes kicks you in the nuts... but at least i have nuts. While we always wish to be in someone else's shoe... there are others who equally want to be in ours... think about it. So i'm just really happy with what fate has brought me thus far... i'm a lucky kid.







"Sakura (Hammy) and I"









Hope. There is hope yet believe it or not. Life may not be a bed of roses but it sure is a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get. Things have a funny way of figuring themselves out. Sometimes everything just falls into place.

"my outlook on exams."

The truth hurts... but hey... nobody said it was going to be easy. Pick yourself up, dust off the debris and keep walking. You're a strong lad.


Time to study for nothing. If only there were nothing to study.

Fool Your Professor

Finally! I'm done with my FYP! Not that it's much of a celebration now that i've got all the postponed assignments to finish... still, it's something off my shoulders and i can breathe a little now. I must say, FYP was really a dreary undertaking to begin with... but somewhere along the way, it just got better. Maybe it's like an acquired taste (for research) and I can remember some days tapdancing my way out of Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) because I managed to get some results... almost like falling in love.

Funny how I can just fall in love with my FYP in the last month or so... so quickly and without warning, almost like something out of a romance novel haha! Right now, let's just say i've done everything in my willingness and ability. How things will pan out? Only time will tell.

Heh. Now I guess it's back to some good old-fashioned mugging. Not saying i'm gonna love this period of time, but as with most things... it's going to be an acquired taste.

Think simple.

the 5-second rule.

Suddenly remembered this article i read in the newspaper not too long ago... sumthin about introducing courses in polytechnics about romance and relationships. Absolutely hilarious.

You know, it's one of those things u'd say along the "when pigs fly" kinda meaning... something like, "Wah lau, come on lah... she can't possibly like me lor, if she did... i think they'll start teaching romance courses in polytechnics!" Oh well, who'd have thought.

I almost died laughing when a girl commented "if a guy looks into my eyes for 5 seconds, i'll know that he may be interested in me." My goodness. Hey doodette, if you ask me, there can only be 3 reasons: (1) he's daydreaming. (2) He's trying to listen to you but his mind is really somewhere else. (3) err... you got eye 'shit' in your eyes. Cos' honestly, 5 seconds is just way too long. Guys out there be careful, if you dun like the gal... look away at 4 and a half seconds or you'll be leading her on!

Jokes aside, i always believed that romance and relationships should be taught in the school of life. Sure, there are guide books and best sellers like "Men are like Mars bars, Women are like Venus Gillette shavers" but essentially they're just beacons to guide us in the game for two. (for some, more than two.) Still, we'd have to sometimes really take the tumble, win somebody over, fail miserably, emerge victorious, make silly mistakes, do the right thing... and eventually learn something from all this.

From time to time, people look for the rainbow connection with the notion that "someday you'll find it"; true for the fortunate, absolute rubbish for the skeptics. I say... sometimes, when you're on the roof on a gloomy night looking for stars, take a good look around you and perhaps, just perhaps... you may find another reason to stay on the roof a little longer.

Loving every bit of my FYP right now.
