考试完了，我真的很开心！ 开心，开心，开心。。。 (and ugly Singaporeans)

The exams are finally over for me! I am happy! Yay... today's papers were a total bitch. Well, for the first paper (a 'Geog-ish' kinda essay based thing) I realised that because I had not written essays for such a long time, I could not muster the velocity required to produce long expositions of extended text of the recommended length in the stipulated amount of time allocated to the participants of this test of one's ability to regurgitate vast amounts of information.

(That basically means not enough time, wrote too little...jialat)

My second, and last paper for the day (and for the exams! ^_^) reeked of the trickiness expected of my favourite module. Dr Madalena had once again out done herself, and the paper was, as expected, annoyingly cumbersome, and required great mental capacity and dexterity to handle. It's not easy doing two papers in one day, but at the end of everything, it sure as hell feels great. The past exam period has been wonderful and I really enjoyed studying with friends in the Central Library of NUS. It's amazing to see how people will reserve seats with things like tissue paper, water bottles and (the least offensive of the lot in my opinion) readings/notes. Also in demand, are power outlets...very often, ingenious undergraduates will resort to bringing their own multi-plugs or extension cables (see right) so that everyone of their friends can share also.

I must really thank all my friends for studying with me, and helping me 'chop' seats at Level 6 in the library. Arigato Gozaimasu! *bows* These friends would include the following people...















This one is called Vincent...one who makes me do work, for once...haha















This one is called Aidan. The little brown thing is called Seaweed, his stuffed sea-otter.




















More of Seaweed. Actually he is quite cute and not a hideous as I thought him to be...hahaha...

==========================================================================================

Well, enough about studying in school...I now want to talk about UGLY SINGAPOREANS. As usual, because I have yet to learn how to drive, I use public transport like any other commuter who enjoys using public transport. So this is what happens...the following are some shots of inconsiderate Singaporeans.

Do you people see this? Everyone is standing at the front of the freaking bus. And here I was thinking why is the bus so crowded and lo' and behold...everyone is standing near the front lah...damn stupid can? I just don't understand. Most of these people alighted near the interchange ok? And the interchange was in Yishun, and this shot was taken when the bus was only at Farrer Road can?! Still got how far more? My goodness can? Sheesh...so disgusting...Here's the next shot...

This picture sorta speaks for itself doesn't it? I mean, 'nuff said man. Sheesh...I really wonder sometimes...just wonder and it never ceases to amaze me...太神奇了！！！

====================================================================================================

Well, that brings me to the of this post...tomorrow I am going to go gym(need to be fit! too fat liao), and then maybe jalan-jalan around town, and probably meet Vincent in town I guess...his iPod Nano 坏 already! So sad can? 两天而已 leh...talk about shitty man. But then again, I have already changed my iPod Shuffle twice already man...that makes it my THIRD Shuffle. I think deciding to live the life of a Apple user is one fraught with many trips to the AppleCentre at Wheelock Place, and while your gadget gets fixed, you get tempted by all the other 'chio' stuff there...that is why I have yet to let myself fall into the trap of the ever beautiful and 'chio' Apple goddess... OH! Do not forget, you end up having to head all the way down to Yio Chu Kang to collect your fixed device, which is not fun at all if you live in Hougang or some other obscure part of Singapore...

To the rest of the world who has yet to complete their exams...ALL THE BEST! 加油！！！ GO GO GO!!! ^_^

The JS Indisgestion.

I am supremely jubilant today. I have finished one of my most hated exams and am so glad that I can finally say good riddance to the bloody thing. (Of course, 'bloody' is a very tame form of diction that I have chosen to employ. A more fitting form would run along the lines of 'fucked-up', 'KNNCCB', 'intellectually inept and handicapped'...aiyah, the list is endless...I really cannot stop expounding on it's many failings, so don't even get me started)

Anyway, doing the examination revealed to me many things. For example, I never studied for the silly thing, and contrary to my friend's philosophy (that we should work doubly hard for subjects we dislike because they will affect our CAP score if we do badly), I just cannot muster the vigour to actually start doing the freaking readings. For me, no passion/interest = no study/effort/work etc. Anyway, I found the paper extremely poorly constructed, and it generally epitomised rote learning...yucks! *balks*

Tomorrow is my last day of exams, and though I have two papers on the same day, both are modules I generally enjoy and will definitely have more interest and drive to actually do well for them. As such (considering the JS module now reeks of a C-), I should not be expecting too great a CAP score this semester. Of course all my friends tell me otherwise (and I sincerely thank all of you for that *hugz*), but I did the papers, and I know how well I did. Now the only thing that can save me is the power of the bell curve. Will I line the bottom of this bird cage of an institute of higher learning (which I still insist on calling SCHOOL, despite objections from various people), or will I actually be able to hover at mid-cage range? I do not know. I will only know my results nearing X'mas week...so until then, I will enjoy the wait...sorta... *grinz*

On a happier note, my aunt (with husband and child in tow) will be arriving in Singapore soon! So exciting! Can't wait to see this mixed-blood baby cousin of mine...next time grow up confirm damn handsome wan...heehee... Very excited to see them! Can't WAIT! ^_^

Whew...I feel sufficiently purged of the evil taint (which is JS), and am empowered and invigorated to continue forging down this road of examinations...haha...will blog soon again...yay! Hahaha...

PS: I mentioned to Xinwei that I will hex the JS purporters of their bloody module such that the female one will actually start speaking PROPER ENGLISH, the 'ang moh' one to actually STOP sweating like a pig, and lastly, the Japanese one to GROW HAIR on his head!
(okay, the last one doesn't seem like a real hex, but I don't care lah...he was the most bearable of the three...SORTA...)

WOW...that was a truckload of vindictiveness man...can everyone feel the HATE?!?!?! Hahahaha

Michael Buble - The More I See You

The more I see you

The more I want you

Somehow this feeling

Just grows and grows

With every sigh I become

More mad about you

More lost without you

And so it goes

Can you imagine

How much I love you

The more I see you

As years go by

I know the only one for me

Can only be you

My arms won’t free you

And my heart won’t try

Each time I look at you

Is like the first time

Each time you’re near me

The thrill is new

And there is not a single thing

I wouldn’t do for

The rare delight of the sight of you

And there is not one single thing

I wouldn’t do for

The rare delight of the sight of you

And the more I see you

The more I see you

The more I see you

The more I see you

The more I see you

The more I see you

The more I see you

The more I see you

And the more I see you

The more I see you

The more I see you

The more I see you

The more I see you

Everyday

my eyes are closing...how? how?

In Central Library now...not studying sia...haiz...

ZzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

^_^

not too bad, not too bad...

Today was an okay day! I'm in school now...Central Library, Level 6..hahaha... I made progress with my revision. I mean if I compare it to my more 'lustrous' friends, I may not have done much, but I'm beginning to feel abit more of the so-called 'steam'...I think that's what they call it. Hopefully I am moving faster than this little guy you see here...I took a picture of it this morning as it just happened to be where I was lah...

It reminded me of a story one of my friends told me about this gigantic snail he saw near his hostel...haha...well, here's my snail..not as big I am sure (cos my friend swore that the one he saw could be sold for a lot of money or something like that...haha)

Anyway, today was not a bad day for me...feeling better about the exams and my revision and others sections of my personal life as well. ^_^

Everyone jia you okay?!?! No time to move at snail speed liao...must be faster, FASTER! Go go go!!!

This song is for all the people in my life who have
held me up,

Walk With You - Della Reese & The Verity All-Stars
(Theme from the Touched by an Angel television series)

When you walk down the road
Heavy burden, heavy load
I will rise and I will walk with you

When you walk through the night
And you feel like you wanna just give up, give up, give up on the fight
I will come and I will walk with you

Walk with you
Until the sun don't even shine
Walk with you
I'll be there all the time I tell you
I'll walk with you
See you through

When you walk from this place
And you gotta go to meet him, it's time to meet Him face to face
Take my hand and I will walk with you

Oh, oh walk with you
Till the clouds fade away
I tell you I 'll walk with you
Each and every day
Oh yes I'll walk with you

Oh, oh oh when nobody cares
I'll be right there by your side
If all your hope is lost
I'm the one that's gonna help you see the light
Just look into my eyes
Please know you're not alone
I'm here, I'm here by your side

Walk with you
Walk with you
Walk with you
I'll be there all the time, I'm gonna walk with you
Walk with you
I'll be there until the clouds just fade away
Walk with you
I'll be there every day, every day, every day, every day
Walk with you
I'll be with you all the while
Walk with you
Be right there through the longest mile

Walk with you I will walk with you yes I will, yes I will, yes I will, I will
Walk with you
I will walk with you
I tell you I'll be there and I will
Walk with you
Believe me I'll be there and I'll walk with you, yes I will

starting today...sheesh...

starting only today...

dunno whether too late or not...

haiz...

should shoot myself lah...

PS: For a laugh, go read this. It's really good...

a bit better today... ^_^

Not too bad...I'm feeling a little better this morning. Though it is cold outside, but I think my battle with the fever is turning in my favour. Still mustn't get complacent though...fight it all the way! Wahaha.

I got a msg from my CO yesterday...Perry (here he is...excellent boss, he)...heh. He was thanking me for my testimonial on Friendster. How cool is he right? Who ever heard of a CO who has Friendster? Wahaha...anyway, I was really surprised to hear from him. And I realised that he has an excellent memory. He actually remembered the time he called me by another name, and how disappointed I was. My upperstudy was called Jinxian u see, so if you flip the letters around, that sorta gives you my name, Xing Jian. He said he remembered how disappointed my face was when he called me by the wrong name. Come to think of it, I think I was really disappointed.

Haha...imagine your boss, who you've worked for for quite awhile call u wrongly? Or worse, one of your closest friends calling you by another name...damn sad right? Haha..anyway, it was nice knowing I made his day lah...glad to make him happy...he'll always be my CO. Haha...(eee, so feeling-feeling hor?)

Anyway, quite pleased with myself this morning. I got up, ate breakfast and watched cartoons, and then finished my JS project editing. The stupid IVLE refused to let me upload though, so I had to email the files to my groupmates lor...annoyed with the NUS server lah. Wargh! I think today I will go and study with Jason, or head do to Lido to support Bronson, or go home and build my Faerie deck, or have dinner with Mom...or maybe...just maybe, if I plan my time well, I can do ALL of the above! Hahaha!

See all the pretty faeries? Haha...they'll whack your head in before u can say "Pixie Dust!"

We'll see how lah...I think today should be a better day. Hope everyone who is feeling sick, will take care of themselves and rest up ok? ^_^ Drink lotsa water and battle the fever with rest! Those of you who know your friends are sick, send them an SMS to cheer them up ok? Don't be stingy! Hahaha...byebye peeps!

... ... ...

I am going to rant and rave now...please forgive me...

I just don't like being sick lah. I have been at home the entire day, running through toilet paper rolls like nobody's business (I think I killed a couple of trees today, including last night's toilet paper roll too). Sniffling, blowing my nose, chafing the skin around my nostrils, rubbing it raw can?!

I'm having one of those, 'why-can't-Mom-just-come-and-make-everything-better' flashes, and I know I shouldn't cos I'm a big boy liao! But just feeling damn lousy lah...for those of you who play Magic: The Gathering, it's like being tapped down by Icy Manipulator. Or kenna Stasis + Kismet lock...shit man. I hate it. Can't do anything except to draw cards, and say, "Go."

My dearest friend, Jason (u see him as ~mugging jason~ in my tagboard) insists that I am lovesick...well, maybe he's right...but...I'm not telling any of you people! Haha! ^_^ Go away, only a select few know, so if you dunno, then u dunno lor...DON"T KAYPO (slang for "busybody")

I am waiting for my online JS conference to start...need to finalise the project...sighz. Tomorrow, I still need to go for tuition can? Sheesh. Sooo not looking forward to it. Hope I don't give the kid anything, if not, wait he kenna illness from me, then die how? Maybe I should call to cancel? That would be the responsible thing to do right? No point giving him any sickness right? Bad for everyone mah. I think I should cancel...though I really did want to pass my bug to him...wahaha... (okay, that was evil Xing Jian speaking, he's been abit more active of late...the bug loosens my hold on evil me..sorry about that.)

ARGH! There some idiot smoking! I can smell the smoke...must be my farking neighbour from downstairs or something! ARGH! Save me! I hate cigarette smoke! Ugh...dying already...make my already fucked up nose feel more shitty...wargh!

I just want a comforting word, a gesture of affection, an action of sweetness....if these constitute lovesickness, then I guess yah lor...I prolly am lah...sighz... :(

Exams are around the corner, and am feeling like that...I seriously need to put the unimportant things aside man. Sheesh. Hope I feel better tmr...bloody whatever's inside making feel this way...(referring to both virus and feelings for that person....WARGH!)

*sobz* bored to tears... ...

Level Up already...sighz

My sickness leveled up already. I am now at Stage 2 of my transformation. My mucus, as of this morning, is GREEN! Ugh...I guess, that's good, cos that means I should heal by the exams.

So for now, I just need to focus on light foods, and lotsa water. Haiz, I've been seeing this pattern my ENTIRE life, and yet I allow it to perpetuate. It's terrible lah...so unconsicous..sheesh.

Anyway, no more! I better start doing the disciplined thing and start making my life healthy again! You know lah, drink water, sleep enough, eat well, exercise..blah blah blah...that kinda thing (all the BASIC things which most of us don't do) lor...Haiz...

haiz...angry, frustrated, sianz...

I can't get to sleep!

My nose won't let me! It's running and at breakneck speed can?!

Wargh!

Damnit! Tmr how? I was supposed to go to gym, but I can't even get to sleep lor...sheesh.

Damn irritated now...

:(

monitor spoil, sore throat, never study enough

My day started off okay at first. I went for a rehearsal at Sheraton Towers, where my fren Dean will be having his military wedding! I am one of the sword bearers lor...so exciting sia...haha. I never do sword drills before leh, I had a lot of fun. Met up with Weiquan, Kevin, Guanzhen, Jeffrey and George! Really miss them so much, and did not really realise it until I saw them lah. Haha... In the pic, is the groom and myself, in No. 1 dress sans headdress. Brings back memories wearing it. I think I look a little fat though...but everyone says no leh...but somehow, I am inclined to distrust them....hahaha ^_^

The ceremony is not that difficult to remember, only problem is that need to hold the sword up for an extended period of time lor, so quite 'siong' (Hokkien word, adapted into an SAF slang for 'tough', 'very difficult and taxing'). I get to wear SAF No. 1 dress again! One of those rare occasions lah, so must take plenty of pictures...and this time, I get to wear it with my Guards beret leh! Exciting sia! Heehee....

Anyway, when I got home, I realised that my monitor is spoilt! I dunno why, but it just refuse to turn on. My PC is on standby mah, so that means just shake the mouse a little and all should be well...but no...the stupid thing just kept dying on me. Now I am relegated to using my laptop until I get a new monitor...I wonder if Mom will want to sponsor me or not...heehee.

I'm also sick can?! It started yesterday...I had a vodka lime (courtesy of my dearest LG), and I thought it was that that caused my throat to feel so scratchy and sore...but actually no lor...it really was that I was getting sick. Haiz, so now I have sore throat and a nose full of mucus (that is threatening to turn green/yellow), and I hate that feeling.

I think it didn't help that I was studying (okay, we weren't really studying, but we still have fun I guess...mwahaha..watched a movie and chit-chat is always fun) in an enclosed environment with a friend who was sick as well. Now I don't have any mood to study, and there are still things that are outstanding that need to be done. Haiz...

Well, I think I will end off here now...so yeah. My poor lappie will have to do a lot of work today...the poor thing...

*cough cough*

haiz...got my Philo paper back liao...

I did not get the grade I wanted...19/25!

Sighz...I thought I would be able to pull of an 20+ score, but I guess now. Reading my tutors comments, I realised where all the shortcomings were lah...

Some of them I actually managed to spot mah, but I was thinking that got no space to include..maybe I should've just fucked the page limit and just write first. Haiz, ah well, it's an improvement of 1 mark...sianz

Need to jiayou for the final exams I guess...sianz...

general unhappiness, overall frustration, monumentous annoyance

I am all the above today. In a shitty space...I don't know how to move liao...how? Wargh!

Angry, frustrated, annoyed...why me? :(

thanks! my LG... ^_^

hey LG! thanks for talking to me tonight...i really enjoyed it.

thanks for not changing anything...

luv ya...sorry for the pimples (which u already have anyway, but u're still great to me yah?)

hahaha...if u're reading this, u know who u are yah?

The exams are around the corner!

Good morning everyone! Exams are coming already! So scary! My first exams after such long time...exciting sia...hope nothing too terrible happens..hahaha. Anyway, jus did another one of them quizzes. I think this one's a little silly...they always ask weird questions like "What is the colour of you inner/outer aura?" WTF?!?! Doesn't make sense at all. I mean I understand the concept of auras slightly, and you won't know ur colour until u get it checked, or someone who can see it tells you lor...haiz.. Then the disclaimer also says it's for girls only?! I think most girls also dunno what the questions are asking about lor.

Try this one: "What colour do you see the world in?" Mish was doing the "what kind of eyes are you" test, and she was like "Huh?!" Hahaha

Anyway, after struggling through all the questions, I get a result that is actually quite accurate. Hahaha. The picture is quite nice also lah. But I think from now on, I will only do these silly quizzes when I am TRULY bored. Hahaha..

Your true angel is Helpful. You can't help it, but
you love helping people and things, as if it's
your job. You're very nice, that's why you have
lots of friends!

Your Unknown Angel Inside

Anyway, I am off to school to study liao...bye everyone! Let the mugging begin! Need to catch up with me readings first! Mwahahaha! Gambatte! Jiayou! ^_^
