Workaholic Crisis!?

For the past week, i've been working on my projects, reports, etc, etc like a overworked, under-fed dog... So much that on Saturday, when i woke up in the morning 9am (yes on a sat when i dun have to go skoo), I din know what to do! I lie on my bed, lost... I dun want to do my project (not on weekends too!?!), lost touch with TV drama (missed too many episodes to know wat is happening), and no PS2 to play (with darren). For a while, I was scared... really scared... am i like some workaholic that once I have nothing to rush (for a sat, at least), I feel uneasy??

Then i tried to msg BabyNut, no reply... Then i realize sat is 29th! for the entire week i kept thinking that sun was 29th... felt so lost and stupid.... sorry babynut!! ~> _ <~... Then i msg jimmy "got time to get out?", but he was working at fish market... haiz :'(

So wat did i do in the end? my project!! damn... i wish this (the crisis) will end soon! somebody rescue me ~~~

Please feed the animals

My project mates and I in NUS are like a bunch of animals on display in our faculty when we are doing our projects. We go and take the tables and chairs from the classroom and put together for our own use in the corridor outside those classrooms having class. Then we tok loudly, play mp3 and dun care how others think about us. haha :P

The corridor that we "hold" our "project meetings" er, usually is used for some tea reception for some conferences that the faculty organizes... means when those guests finish the tok and come out for tea, we are like some spectacle that they stare at. haha. The auntie oso always scold us for koping the chairs from the classroom for our own use :P

But ytd and today, a bit weird thing happened. last nite the late class "next door" ordered pizza and when they finish, offered to give their leftovers to us. we were like, "er, no need la", but accepted it anyway haha. Then we open the box, and there was almost an entire large pizza inside! haha. Being greedy ppl, we of cse ate them all. Then today, there was some conference again, and this time, the auntie that scolded us all the time actually told us to "go and eat the mee goreng! veri nice! else they throw already!" :P

I guess they must gotten used to the animals on display outside. Please feed!

New blog! sorta

I've created a new blog to post my frustrations on my projects and programming stuff! so if you are some g *ahem* eek that prefers to see code than conversation, go to http://pchia.blogspot.com ok!!!

Low~...

Hmm. my stats test results come bac le. i got 10. i expect i'll get 6, so thats a bonus. but the test upon 40, means that i buanged to hell. out of 200+, i am 2nd lowest! Unless a miracle happens and/or the like, i might be retained for a sem juz for stupid stats module... hahaha.....

I haven watch TV for some time. that includes those anime downloaded which i usually pia, sitcoms and drama on star world, my "hugh-white-tower" vcd which i bought recently, etc. Guess i'll pia them all on sat evening!!! (ya rite)

PS: I created a shoutbox myself (yes, that stupid little box on the right, ya ya, always cannot work one that one) becos i cannot stand it keep giving me the "cookies deactivated?" message le!! and my poor frens who have been trying to help me shout... so sorry! now u can shout as much as you one... no advanced features like blink and scroll text like myshoutbox.com's one yet, but at least it lets you SHOUT!!! MEOW~~~!

High~?

My jap sensei said ytd "今日のパトリックさんは、なんかハイ！", means that she thinks I sorta high~ haha. Guardian angel oso say why I like so happy like dat... haha.... why? i oso dunno. Hmm. maybe becos its from staying in skoo for the weekend, eating tons of Calbee HOT N SPICY poto chips and drinking motherloads of kopi.... hahaha i still high. and its contagious! cos i made someone felt high too? hahaha

2day bought the 白色巨塔 (white color huge tower :P) vcd. My Biz jap sensei showed it to us during one of the lessons and the gers in my class convinced me it was some hit show in Japan. now that i come across it, hmm... give it a shot! thou part of me thinks its a hit cos of the lead actors in the show...

My project days still got a few weeks ahead. 2day helped my fren do .net project... wa so nostaglic!!! how i missed the days where wat i type is wat i see and get from .net... instead of stupid java program that give me error that only fat geeks understand... haiz. only few more weeks to endure!!! Help me jiayou!!!

I whine too much...

I think i have been whining too much recently le. Too much work, no weekends, too little time, and all this while i have been complaining complaining to those around me... if you have felt my complaints, SORRY!!

I think my perspective of my own pressures have made me oblivious to the people around me who have been feeling down too... Like my project mates who have been working nite and day as well on the project, like my frens who are working and feeling pressures of work and those of relationships... I could only see my own problems, and i think that's a selfish thing...

So my tot for the week and beyond: stop whinin and care more about those around me!!

"I'm practicing my oral"

Time really flies... it seem like only yesterday I was working my ass off in office. It seem like yesterday I was a trainee kanna takan by my instructor (cos today i was toking about my army dayz with my project mates)... In less than 2 months, I will no longer be a student of any sort!! Here i am still blur like sotong... with all the project deadlines and exams coming up, all i can tink of is my vacation this dec...

Today an extremely funny thing happened... at least to me :P I was practicing my Japanese with my frens at arts faculty, cos we have a conversational exam on mon... Then the ger beside me (They call her Miss Bean :P) received a call from her fren, which she replied:

"I still in skoo. I'm practicing my oral..."

When it came out from her mouth, all the guys around started to laugh. Then she asked wat was so funny, which we din really wan to explain to her, right! Maybe it's juz becos guys are generally more.. er, "sensitive" to these things, haha... she wun be reading this, so no problem :P

My sat and sun this week is gonna be burnt le... cos we have a group report cum programming project milestone to meet. Oh wizards and guardian angel, cast a spell of HAPPINESS on me to survive thru this!!

I buang my stats!

I hate maths. I hate stats. I think i buang ler. mua wa ha hahah....

My frens think it's quite ez, but i tot it was tough... my maths have always been poor since i left sec skoo. So i hate it. i hate anything to do with calculating any numbers other than my dollar notes.

Meow~~~:'(

私たちは魔法使い。

There's this magical world, where everyone is a wizard and everyone has the ability to cast magical spells. There are spells that damage others, spells that heal others, and spells that make you stronger or weaker. Some wizards are better at certain spells than others, and some people are more easily affected by certain spells than others.

Whenever i feel down, weak, sad... I have a guardian angel that casts weird spells on me :p... however the weird spells are really effective most of the time! cos i feel betta after i receive the spells. thanks... I try to do the same when the angel feels weak, but I'm not sure if my spells are as effective, haha.

But sometimes, we cast spells without even knowing it, or cast a spell that we think should work this way, but in the end worked in another way. Once, I tried my best to cast many spells to make someone feel happy. Though the spell was supposed to make people happy, but the person who received it felt troubled and uneasy. I must have been a lousy wizard, becos when another wizard casted the same spell on the same person, it worked. I think i still dun know how to use this spell well...

The magic is all around us. The spells are the words we say to one another.

May she be happy, stronger (again)

Someone wans to kick my ass. before it really happens, well, i guess i translate wat i posted last time round... there's always http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr, for the clueless to translate stuff!

Recently i heard from my frens that the ger i liked last time (in sec skoo) had divorced. She was the first ger that I really fancied, but she din like me and so and so and time passed by, and we went to different polys and so and so, and we din keep in touch and so and so, so i learnt to forget about her. Roughly 3-4 years ago, I heard that she got married. Hmm. i guess for gers that isn't uncommon, to get married early 20s.. That time i tot "hmm, that's good... hope she will be happy...", but in less than 5 years, she's already divorced. haiz.

I wonder how she is rite now? Was divorce a tough ordeal for her? Wat was the reason they parted?

Well, since i was neva a significant part of her life (or anything else for that matter, haha), guess i shldn't be bothered too much by it... tho it saddens me that many relationships are failing here and there... maybe juz as guardian angel says, frens are betta cos they demand less and give more from the heart? haha...

May she be happy, stronger

友達によると、昔の時俺が好きだった彼女はもう離婚したそう。その子は俺の初めて本気で好きな女の子だった。でもあの時、俺たちは恋人にならなくて、そして時間が過ぎて、俺は彼女のことをだんだん忘れちゃった。３，４年前、彼女が結婚したことを友達に聞いた。「そうか、いいじゃない。どうか幸せになるように、ねえ。」、俺はそう思った。ただの４年間ぐらい、今はもう離婚しちゃった。

あの子、今どうかな。子供がないそうだけど、離婚はあの子にとって、辛かったの？離婚の理由、一体何だったの？

Well, so much happened without me knowing... hope that she stays happy, no matter wat happens... and wat that has happened will make her stronger.

Colorgenics Mood analysis

Gotten this test from babynut, hmm. quite accurate ler!! scary ~

My results:

You are a very emotional and sensitive individual. Your life and love of life is dominated by your emotions - you have great feeling towards your fellow man and you are always full of enthusiasm but be careful, you tend to let your heart rule your head and this being so, you could be easily hurt - as perhaps you may have indeed been hurt in the past.
You are very self-sufficient and methodical. You presume to know where you are going but need to find a person who will recognize the way you are, not be too demanding and who is, as they say in Italy, 'Simpatico'.
Matters are not progressing as well as you would have hoped and you are having to make concessions - but you still believe that your goals are realistic it's just that people can't seem to see your point of view. You know what you want but you'll only accept suggestions under duress.
You are frustrated and stressed. You appreciate the finer things in life but at all times you appear to stay aloof, critical of everything and everyone about you. You will not be carried away by your emotions and you refuse to trust anyone or any situation unless genuineness and integrity can be absolutely vouched for. Therefore, you keep a strict and watchful control on your feelings as you must know exactly where you stand at all times. You demand complete sincerity as a protection against your own tendency to be too trusting.
You wish to safeguard yourself against criticism or conflict and to embed yourself in a protected situation. You are a difficult person to relate to and very difficult to please.

Wa, the last statement i think i abit out la!! I am very easy to please one rite?? frens?? anyone?? :'-(

You can try yourself at http://www.colorgenics.com. If the results not as you expected, dun be too sad hor... :P

Side dish

I realize I oways order side dish whenever i go to restaurant to eat. For example, whenever i go Fish N Co, i CONFIRM will order the fried calamari one. When i go to 別府, i CONFIRM will order the Fried Tofu one. When i go to Swensen's, i CONFIRM will order the sauteed Mushroom one... hmm, wonder if this has any meaning on my character?

Do you have this kind of tendency when u go to restaurant to eat?

Scale of happiness?

I guess sometimes we dun notice how a little action or something trival (to me at least) can act on another in a dramatic way... I oways tot i pay attention to how others feel before i make a move, but obviously i am overly confident... haiz..

As i was happily chatting and entertaining one, another(s) was/were feeling left out that outing on Monday. I guess i was "hogging" onto one and prevented others from speaking to her... which i din even notice on that day itself. hmm... now looking back, i was really paying attention to one and neglecting others around. haiz.... I'm sorry!! for those who felt neglected.... it wasn't my intention... guess it was my own assumptions that made you felt left out... paiseh!! i will never 把自己的快樂建在別人的痛苦上 one.

From now, i will be careful not to tip over the scale of happiness.... cos everyone is on this scale, and too much on one side may juz tip over the other...

Stomach bursted...

Wa, Monday my stomach really bursted... not from overeating, not from doing situp, but laugh till burst haha...

Mon was Ben's birthday celebration (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! tho today then is real birthday...), but he kanna caught up in work, so we wait lor... then in the mean time, my "entertainment" keep making me laugh from our conversation lor (wa now think oso laughing), cos she trying to remember the jap phrases i say, then oways say something funny (mimi iro :P)...

then when ben finally come, we went to the japanese restaurant inside the citylink thingie (cant remember the name)... lucky not many ppl inside ah, cos me and her were laughing away like some nuts that escaped from woodbridge, laugh till tears really roll... Wa though we were laughing away, i think in actual fact we were the laughing stock~~

Oh, single guys out there ah, DUN ever go join those SDU match making session ok!!! heard it is a place full of chikopek uncles in some kind of "see who get the most contact nums!" contest one!!! unless u are some rich and handsome prince, dun try it ok :P

October is here!!

Woohoo! I've waited long for October to come!! its finally here.... may october be octrageously happy (ya rite, with 2 term tests, project due dates and presentations) !

September in the end wasn't as bad la, thanks to the entertainment(?) that i received from someone these few days haha! Oops, if you have been "entertaining" me, then paiseh paiseh.. remember i was "entertaining" you as well hor ;)

My frens and i are planning on taiwan this dec... but due to some bad crap that happened to ben (yes in september :( ...) in his work, he might not be joining! damn. Well there's still time, and things might turn out better than it started... jiayou, ben!

so let's keep our fingers, toes, wateva crossed, and hope and pray and wateva that october will be happy for all! yaaa!
