Eventful

yesterday was pretty eventful.

lunch-ed with Tiffany @ Mega after class.
Sat there and chatted with her from 12 till 2pm.
hahaha.

brought my lappy to school.
to keep me company @ Tay Eng Soon Library while waiting for Yy's event to start.
Tried to load Southpark videos, and it wouldnt load. =/
And everyone else in the library were MUGGING.
i can foresee my year 2- life.
Lol.
Anyway, stayed there and blog-hopped, read CNA, BBC, Forbes, Economist.
As you can see, i'm really bored.
Left the library at approx 3pm.



Yy took me to dunnoe-where in the school to take a look @ his window display (as above)
Pretty well-done huh.
On the way there, we passed by Canteen 1.
Where I coincidentally saw Sz

Supported Yy's event by buying a shirt for my bro.
Sz came along for the event where Yy asked him to support the event too.
Lol. but it was really at a wrong timing cuz Sz had just bought $130 worth of txtbks.
Anyway, hope that his sales were good.
And saw Shirmain too.

bus-ed with Sz since we are going the same direction home.
Went Starbucks @ CP to chill.

the promise of marriage vows
not on the grounds of love or eternal companionship
cant sink deeper, a need to stay afloat.

It's still Nov, but who cares, i'm in Christmas Mood~

was feeling really excited about the Potluck.
Made a poster with scraps which says "Merry Junk Food Christmas"
Hahahaha.
Suits our Christmas Potluck theme.
*cant contain the excitement*

this explains all.

I cop-ed this from gary's blog.
Please bear with the chinese words (psst i know some of them looked foreign)

暧昧.. 比好朋友再亲一点，但比情人远一点。
暧昧是，你会常常在qq等她在线。当她几天没有在线，你就会有些担心。
暧昧是，你会不时去她的资料看看有没有更新；而且你会留意字里行间，他对你有没有什么暗示。
暧昧是, 有感觉，然而，这种感觉不足以叫你们切切实实地发展一段正式的关系。
暧昧是, 明白人生有太多的无奈，现实有太多的限制。你知道没有可能，但又舍不得放手。
暧昧是, 有进一步的冲动，却没有进一步的勇气。 暧昧是，她不是你的情人，但似乎你比她的情人更关心她和了解她。
暧昧是，她会编一条围巾给你，但大家从没有开始过。
暧昧是，虽然她不是你的情人，但你却会对她说：你对我是十分重要的。
暧昧是，她感冒时你有一个会在晚上打电话特意提醒她服药，叫她盖好被子早点睡的普通朋友。
暧昧是，当她遇到问题解决不了的时候，她找不到她的男/女朋友，她第一个便会想起你。
暧昧是，每当她提及她的另一半时，你会万箭穿心。
暧昧是, 为了逃避背叛的罪恶感。 暧昧是, 甜津津又同时酸溜溜的。往往从未开始，已叫人不安，患得患失。
暧昧是，别人以为你们在搞地下情时，你会沾沾自喜。
暧昧是，别人问你们是否恋爱中，你张口结舌。
暧昧是，常常挣扎表不表白。你怕表白之后，你既得不到一个情人，却又失去了一个知心好友。
暧昧是，见到她，你会心跳。见不到她时，你会挂念他。
暧昧是，两个人都会互相猜想。她是不是已经暗示了什么？我是不是自作多情？
暧昧是，每天大家都会聊qq，会互传手机短讯，无规律地煲着电话粥。
暧昧是，你很想多走一步，但又怕会吓怕了她。你会很小心流露自己的感情。
暧昧是，两个人没有承诺过什么。但虽然如此，你愿意付出的，比有承诺的情侣更多。没有责任，但你却很渴望去承担，不问回报。
暧昧, 是一扇门，你可以停留在门外，也可以踏进房子里面。然后你不可以停留在门下面。门--永远不是终点站

uber bored

And yesterday marks the launching of Linkin Park's new album.
After Meteora album, i hadnt been listening much to them.
and that they've been experimenting new genres (which personally i dont really like)
But nevertheless, I'm as curious as i was with Minutes to Midnight.
Dont disappoint pls.
Lol.

Download Festival @ UK is uber cool!
Hope youtube has the complete footage of this year's Download Festival.

Discovered a band - Rammstein
Currently trying their album Mutter (which i kinda liked it)
Not exactly a new band, cuz i've heard Sz mentioned them before.
Read more about them on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rammstein
Yay! More entertainment to/fro school.

i'm bored.

blogging to keep myself awake.

poorer by 30bucks after making a short trip to CP with the intention of having a simple lunch.
Christmas decors @ CP was up.
Sis was saying that we need a lil' decors for the house on the P-day.
I kinda like the Metro Christmas trees. But it cost 2000bucks. =/
Maybe i should just attempt to DIY a tree. LOL.
anyway.
WHY DIDNT IT RAIN TODAY?

Tried to study poa ytd afternoon while on a sacred journey of ku-kai with Kitaro
and thats before sz smsed to chat.
and before i hit that bed.
Lol.
Sz was right.
In the past, I never used to be able to sit around and do nothing, sleep when i've nothing to do
But as uni life starts, I seemed to practise sz's "religion" - Sleep, Slack, Stone.
and while blogging this, i'm feeling drowsy already.
=x

i cant wait for December

i cant find "un-dumb" things to blog about and MN will understand this perfectly.

Before i start the usual rantings...
Read the blog title.
Lol.

Birthday wishes for the two birthday boys of 20th Nov...
Happy Belated Birthday Jonathan!
May you look as edible as Mian Bao Chao Ren!

Happy Belated Birthday Kanin Manomaiwong!
So when are you coming to Sg to visit us?! Lol.

Wed was an unexceptional smiley day.
was punctual for poa (finally~)
pbf was as usual [saw freddy :) and dun remind me of the test]
had skipped the club meeting. =x
and i've got a heavy downpour in return.
macritchie, hougang, serangoon, sengkang, bishan...
my waterproof barney never fails and never disappoints though :)

was chatting to Randy over smses on the bus journey home.
so he was asking if my club meeting is on every wed.
then i said on a fortnightly basis, so two weeks from now, make yourself avail from 3-7.
then he went "wa two weeks from now i having my exam, lol. one month from now instead? since i'm having my holiday"
So i reckoned my next appearance @ meeting would be in Jan since one month later i'm having hols too.
lazylazylazy. =x
and he asked about my NEXT doc's appt.
looks like i cant run away...

Today (totally random)
math was alright, but he's touching on integration soon (dreads~)
saw Magpalene and Vincent.
saw FY @ atrium today too,
where he tried very hard to get us join lacrosse (i forgot how it was spelt). Lol!
there's something about him which makes people very comfortable and cheery chatting with him.

had plans to meet friends up for lunch after class.
but, FYP robs me of my lunchmates.
sobsobs.
was casually smsing to direct my attention off the lengthy bus ride...
and learnt that bus 156 coincidentally sends randy, sz, cynthia and me home from schools.
totally random.

in love with: Metallica's ... And Justice For All.
it's a 9.46mins song
but with that kind of guitar riffs and drums variations.
you'll keep wanting more =)

i hate weds

this cant go on forever.

SLOTH

and i never thought it would happen to me.
i need to do something fruitful other than doing tutorials and studying for tests.

--..-----..-----..------..-------

Wanted:
Activities on Wed from 1500 to 1900hours.

P.S. Yy and Ks: www.karaokeparty.com


tatas for now.
i hate weds

Straightened out.

Maybe i've succeeded.
And today, the sky rains colourful droplets to celebrate.
Where we no longer need "cooling off" periods
Where we can freely invite each other to our houses
Where we've included each other in our future plans.
Officially BFF - Best Friends Forever.

Did that fever just made me dumber?

The Class Gathering was finally crystallised.

And had Zoee, Patricia to help out with the organisation and coordination.

Yay. So we'll meet up in a month's time!

Meanwhile, keeping my fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong.

And so, i'm picking up my red crumpler tmr! Yea I know kinda late to get the crumpler now since 3/4 of the teens alrdy got it... but this is the only bag that goes with all outfits without making too much fashion mistakes. LOL. If you know me well enough, you know i'm obviously finding excuses to convince myself buying the crumpler is WORTH that kind of money. And, i refused to handcarry my lappy to school (though i dont need a lappy for school, but i want to bring it along to entertain me before club meetings). Okay, i'm still finding better excuses. I've already named my crumpler before it's in my arms. Now, meet BARNEY. It's actually named after its model - Barney Rustle Blanket... Ah i can totally imagine what Jasper will say, "no sense of originality"... Karma~ i've been using that on him for a thousand times i guess. =x

Next episode... i'm down with fever + flu + throat burning sensation + blocked nose for the past 3 days after catching a cold on Fri late hours/ Wee Hours of Sat. Anyway.... the main thing is i'm feeling very unbalanced after ytd.

Ytd... went school as usual... met up with Shane to do the POA thingy (FINALLY BALANCED, but again balanced doesnt mean all correct, sad...). So we took bus 74 cuz he's going AMK and i'm going to my family doctor @ Hougang. So, on the journey he was telling me about SouthPark. Oops, i sidetracked. So i reached the clinic and was told that the doctor was ON HOUSE CALL. Wah! the one-hour journey for nothing~ So decided to visit the clinic at Compass Point. Trained home. Saw Jiawei @ Hougang Station. And it was very dramatic. Lol. When i saw him, i was 0.0 *tilted my head* he went 0.0 and tilted his head too! LOL. Like this, we walked half a circle. And then i heard the "train closing" message.... waved a "HELLO" then rushed to the train. LOL. Anyway back to the doctor-visit incident... Was given very normal med with mild antibiotics (the yellow with maroon capsules) and was charged a whooping 40bucks for a mild cold! And i thought i heard 30bucks. =/ Ripped off totally. And did i say, i lost my voice?

I need new songs~~~~

today was a good day.
Had Math lecture (YAY)
and saw a couple of familiar faces - Vincent, Kah Hoe and Fuyong.

Saw FY at the bus stop... in the midst of boarding 52.
FY was super duper entertaining.
He's that kind of guy who can make anyone and everyone comfortable in their own skin.
Lol.
On the bus journey, we were joined by his friend.
And they were ranting about the year 2 modules - in particular, Corporate Finance.
Die la. To my horrors and horrors, it's a compulsory mod for me.

Bro went for Sports Camp in school.
YAY but at the same time, i think i'm goin to miss him. =x
My bro is kinda cute. Lol, i cant believe i'm actually saying this.
He would wake everyone from their sleep by going on and on continuously with his "Goodnight" greetings.
And those are the times you cant wait that he's in camp.

Oh yes.
Was reading this advert from Parkway Parade Mall.
And i suddenly had an idea...
Why not we have a Christmas-Potluck-cum-4-Enduries-Class-Gathering?
i've sent out the e-invite....
pls rsvp!

I'm having 3 tests this month... Ahhhh~
Econ, POA, PBF....
i dun know but i'm feeling very insecure about econs these days.

The Americans had spoken

Barack Obama For US President

20th Jan 2009

"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer."

"To those who would tear this world down – we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security – we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright – tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope."


http://blog.4president.us/2008/barack_obama/index.html (for the full speech)
Epic.

Stronger Dose Please

I lurve Mondays.

Lec was fine.
I was unusually early for lec.
And, there's a "Perfect Competition" Surprise next Monday.
And, a PBF Surprise next Wed.
Guess, i'll be stuck @ home this weekend to mug. =S

Met with Sz today for quick lunch @ AMK Hub.
since I've ended my class, while he's going to school for proj.
Ended up he had already eaten or something, so he sat there and accompany/watch me eat.
=/
AND, i've forgotten to pass him his mags and Jeffrey Michael (again)

Was randomly listening to the band songs that i've played back in secondary school years last weekend.
Alleluia, Caccia & Chorale, Free World Fantasy, Mambo Magic...
I had denied more than once, saying that i dont have good memories of band days...
I had more than a couple of times, saying that the best thing about leaving secondary school is that i no longer have to attend band practices.
But i hadda admit, i kindof miss those days on stage playing as a band...
having to count the rest bars, stuffing the mutes into the bells, clearing the saliva, lip slurs, tongue-ing, fanfares, solos, pitching high high C, etc.
There was an overwhelming sense of fulfillment
And i'm hoping is to have one last chance to play all these pieces + Japanese Graffiti XII + Sound of Brazil + Laputa + Abba Gold with a band...

Randomly, i've told Sz about this little wish over lunch today...
And he said its prolly "Nodame Cantabile" effect.
LOL.
Funny as ever.

Music's like drugs
It could be overdosage of Belle & Sebastian
That they no longer gives me the same fulfilling effect -
The lost charm and appeal that once overwhelmed the soul.
Like drugs, i need a stronger dose of music today
to bring me to the same level of satisfaction and fulfillment
And the taste just got heavier.

Random

Belle and Sebastian's lyrics are super hilarious.
Here's one.

I know Where The Summer Goes - B&S
I know where the summer goes
When you're having no fun
When you're under the thumb

I know where the summer dwells
If your underarm smells
And your kitchen looks like hell
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday.
First lec of the new mod - Maths.
The lecturer was super duper animated!
P.S prolly i wouldnt fall asleep for Friday's lec. =x
hahaha.
lec: whats your name?
boy: teckann (or smtg, i couldnt really catch)
lec: hmm. what do your friends call you?
boy: teckann
lec: your friends call you by your full name? I think you need new friends

LOL! *faints with laughter*
and much more... which i'm keeping till we meet up (. LOL.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday.
Met up with Jasper for breakfast @ CP Mac just before he goes for the 2 weeks sailing trip.
he's another super funny guy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LOL. Man, she knows me well. =x
