well well.. must be wondering what's that.. It's my ST2238 mod. CA2 result. The prof uploaded the result and show it to us in such a way, such that for every mark we get, we'll get 1 Garfield. Yes. He's a garfield fan, just like me, but I won't do such a thing to ask my students to keep looking at a page full of garfield.. lolx.. btw, his lecture slides are full of garfield as well.

This was the CA, which I was so afraid that I made a 5mark mistake. Thankfully, it was right.. if not gg le.. The result is so SUPER skewed that 1 mark makes a difference. imagine 5... Finals will decide all.

3 paper down le. Last 2 to go.. Need to push all the way, cos one is really bad. Must buck up.

Anyway, just now was at VJ at 11pm.. When MS and me were about to leave, sitting in his car, we noticed something amiss. How come the guard house appears dark... upon driving nearer, IT IS REALLY LOCKED. The GATE IS LOCKED. WTF!!!! No choice, but to climb out, and leave the car there. Can only retrieve it when we go there tomorrow morning. Apparently, AHS, had a sch performance at hte performance theatre, so the gate key was pass over to them, The gate is supposed to be locked only at 11pm. and the security guard, EAT SNAKE, went back earlier. RAWR~! idiot AHS teachers.. Cannot see got one car inside there, rigth smack in front of you when you are walking out of the sch is it. Don't know a car needs to be driven by a person, and is still inside the sch compound meh.. wa laoz..

It's being proven that nap aids memory.. and now i can take my nap without any guilt.. Muhahah.. Though, nap is up to an hour at most, and preferably without being disturbed.

It's a interesting experiment that they have conducted, but the test grp is such a small grp. with only 20 test subjects. More tests need to be done to fully quantify it. ya.. I'm taking a stats mod now, which makes me more particular abt it.

Just a few days ago, the price of the COE was at a ALL-TIME low of $2. Compared to 2 months ago, $12,000. And that brought some interest to Dan, meng and me. Browsing thru the catalogue of cars, 2nd hand cars. Selecting possible models. how interesting to be shopping for such a BIG toy... lolx..

Have been lucky that Dan (and Meng, sometimes) has been sending me back after studying till late in VJ almost everyday. That saves much time from the hassel of travelling. *Thanks Bro... It's during this period of time that staying in hall makes it so much better. You just don't feel like travelling much, and just spend time either on the notes, or just simply resting is also better. When would I be getting my own car? I always freq inaccessible places, which would be of so much help if I do have one.. But when would that be... hmm... 3yrs time?

Saw this Funny video from Yee Hung's Facebook account.. And someone really did it.. lolz.. But well, this is in Warwick.. Doubt anybody would try it in NUS..

And now i'm going metabolically crazy with all the enzymes and deficiency going in circles

Tomorrow is the day... It will begin.. and soon it'll be over in 9 days time...

helloz 2nd Dec...

BOB TAN, the "guy" who has been accompanying us for the past week, watching us silently from one corner of the room. Can't imagine how life would be in the classroom without your presence.. will be seeing you again tomorrow...

Fish asked me whether I would want to go Backpacking to South Cambodia & Ho Chin Minh from 15th to 24th dec. with a estimated cost of only $500. Partly due to the $180 2-way tix that we can get at the moment to Ho Chin Minh now. plus an estimated daily expenditure of less than $20/day. That gives us a really low cost travelling.. It's with this grp that we can really go so low, cos everyone is fine with the budget way of travelling and accomodation... Though I've been to both country before le, but not every part have been explored. There's still a mine field zone that I wish to visit... Visit.. not walk into it.

Sis thinking of bringing parents to Bali for a short trip, ask me whether I want to go anot also.. Plus my already planned trip to Genting at the end of the month, I don't think it's feasible for me to go le. Can't be whole month not in Sin again, like last yr when I was in India.. Hmm... There's alway other opportunities to travel ard...

I love travelling... Must start saving for the next trip le... Diving next feb & May and one back packing trip in July next yr.. I'm gunning for it...

There are always funny ppl ard, which I can't seem to understand.. or is it me that's weird??

What would u think when it's written as COMPULSORY to go.. must be thinking.. orh.. must go if no appropriate reasons. but the person who suggested that it must be COMPULSORY, cannot make it .. citing "Other Committments" as a reason. So is it really that COMPULSORY? or is it that I can't comprehend English that well, and miss out part of the meaning in the word?

I don't know man..

4 more days to paper.. 2nd conseq day at VJ from 10am to 11pm. Don't chiong now. Chiong went? it's 2 weeks to end of paper.. -_____-

Went to see the sin seh just now, and he told me I have the Iliotibial band syndronme. Iliotibial band syndrome is due to inflammation of the iliotibial band, a thick band of fibrous tissue that runs down the outside of the leg. The iliotibial band begins at the hip and extends to the outer side of the shin bone (tibia) just below the knee joint. The band functions in coordination with several of the thigh muscles to provide stability to the outside of the knee joint.

researching further on the cause of it, it gave reasons such as over-pronating, worn-out shoes or increasing mileage too fast, etc. Looking at the list, this 3 looks the most likely culprit. Honestly, I don't think I increase mileage too fast though. 12, 12, 15, 18, 22, 25, 28. Decent increase of 3-4km each time. which is way better than my 8km increment 2yrs ago. Not really sure what has caused it, though I really want to try and prevent it from happening again. Don't want such things to cause an end to my running. Will take note of the way I run, and see if I really over-pronate.

Recommended thing to do now is to rest TOTALLY for 2-3 weeks, and full recovery is expected to take 3-4months. Oh man.. like not long...

failed to complete my planned 30km today, due to excrutiating pain that i felt on the outside of my left leg. Could feel the slight strain on the leg when I begun the run, but it was still okay. At the 7km mark, the pain was horrible that I couldn't bear it any longer. Had to stop.. After resting a while, tried to run again, hoping that it would go away, but it just won't. Limp back to Downtown east area, and thankfully, i always carry $1.50 with me, so as to buy drink at the end of the run. So took bus 21 back. now, even walking hurts. Don't know if it's ligament issue or muscle strain. Either way, it's just bad. Even worst that SCSM is 3weeks away only. Sigh... Now can only hope that it'll recover in time.

Last day of sch for me this sem le.. which means reading week is coming, and finals is within 12days time.. madness. This sem just fly by in a wink.

Just a few hrs ago, got another scare by the lecturer, telling us that the format of the paper has changed. GEK 1529. Food and health. It is known that the paper is purely MCQ. BUT BUT BUT... this sem, they decided to add in structured and essay qn. which they only like tell us TODAY!! WTF. last lecture of the sem then tell us this. how can like that de. This is the first time they change the format of the paper. and I've to kenna it.. It makes so much diff while studying for MCQ paper and essay qn can. Now, much more time needs to go into it. kns.. like that how.. everything plan out liao. Where to slot in more time for it.. sigh.. and that's a even bigger assumption that I can even revise finish what I plan in the first place.

Anyway, was supposed to be out running 30km now. But lao tian ye don't want me to run. Rain so heavily. Make all my preparation go down the drain. Hydrated myself with >2L of water le. only make my kidney work extra for nothing..

Oh well... things don't go your way all the time.. Just accept it and move on.. Perhaps it's to tell me that I should study harder..

A video about Religion sent to me by Ks.. Disclaimer first.. view it at your own will, and take it with a pinch of salt if you watch it. It just places some view on religion.


I do share many of the view pts in there, perhaps not so bluntly giving such critics.

Itchy hands are meant to be chopped off and I have one. Ans correct already, still want to go and change.. 99.999% of the time you will change to the wrong one during the last min cos you are in a rush, and tend to read blindly for some of it.. Ans that stood firmly correct to you for the first 3/4 of the test suddenly appears wrong, and all concepts are thrown to the back of the head. with a 99.999% Confidence Interval, and a significance level of 0.001, you will make a significant mistake for the itchy hand of yours..

It happens all too often, now I shall adhere to the "See no evil, Do no evil" method. Close my paper and leave it there. Don't even take out the pencil.

For the stats paper, my A now lies on the brink and it seems to be disolving away, cos I think I've made a mistake which is 25% of the whole paper. Sighz...

it's 18 days to the first paper and I don't know what I'm doing. No real drive to go for it. Letting things be as it is. What am I doing? I don't know..

Just watched Avenue Q at the esplanade just now.. Sexy, Funny, politically incorrect Musical... Some parts of it is so cynical, racist, X-rated.. but it's all part of the Musical. Would say it was good, and really did make me laugh.. the meaning behind the Musical is to make us think about what's our purpose in life, just like the lead character, Princeton, who was lost in life, 23, left with not much penny.. Messing up his life, not knowing what to do.. searching for a purpose in life.. In the end, he found his purpose is to help others.

A refreshing night to be watching a play that was voted the best play in 2006. With interesting songs and puppets acting, it's a brand new way of looking at muscial for me.

One of the interesting word that was picked up.. Shadenfreude, ( sha-den-fre-u-de) meaning Happiness at the misfortune of others.. This is in german. lolx... how appropriate to use it in that context, remembering what the germans did back then..

Finished my 25km... Not very good condition when I finished it, cos I was feeling quite a bit of strain coming back. Insufficient hydration and salt intake should most likely be the culprit. Tightness in both my legs, with some pain felt in the knees. It's obvious it's fatigue that was cramping my legs. No choice, but to hang on and force myself to complete it.. Just a bit more training, and I think i'll leave it to the final day le.. rest is the upmost importance..

Running is torturing when you are pushing your body to the limit.. but it's all in the mind that will allow you to complete the race. and finally tell yourself, I've done it. Mental strength is one of the most important aspect that will eventually determine how successful we are. Cos no great man succeed without the sheer determination to accomplish something big..

Well well.. what has just happened is definitely worth my time blogging at 3am.

The final grand prix of the 2008 season, Sao Paolo Brazil has just concluded. And Felipe Massa who was 7pts behind leader Lewis Hamilton needed to finish 1st to stand any chance to win the world title. And he did by winning the race in style, perfect race for him, with no mistakes or wat so ever. But the world championship was not within his control, and he needed hamilton to finish 6th to win the title base on head to head wins.

It all went down to the last 3 laps of the race when kubica overtook hamilton and gave Sebastian vettel a chance to overtake hamilton for the 5th position, pushing hamilton down to 6th. And there was instant panic, cos that would cause him his title. Aggresive driving and manoeuvre for the last 3 laps was displayed by Hamilton and Vettel.

And when Massa went past the Chequred flag to take home the 1st position, all Ferrari fans were cheering and screaming, (including me) Cos they thought Massa, a brazilian has brought home not only the Sao Paolo GP, but also the World title. (The last brazilian who was crowned world champion was Marcos Senna, a F1 legend who has sadly pass away due to an accident. )

So what happened? Timo Glock who was running 4th position, ran out of fuel, and had to crawl back to the finishing line, and just that, it allowed Vettel to past in 4th, and Hamilton in 5th... WTH!!!! Everyone had already thought Massa had won it.. Team Toyota had to spoil it by mis-calculating their fuel load. Everybody was stunned for a moment, not believing what they see on the screen, and needed double confirmation to see Hamilton finished in 5th. And it was confirmed... sadly.. Hamilton took home the 2008 F1 World Title with 98pts, Massa with 97pts, just one pt differences separated them... By lifting the F1 World title, Hamilton is expected to overtake Beckham as England's richest sportsman.

What an exciting end to the 2008 F1 Season, this is definitely a classic that would be remembered for years to come.

*Too bad, there isn't much F1 fans ard that would appreciate the thrill of this...

Just woke up after a 12hr sleep. slept immediately after dinner... Funny things happened in the dreams, full of actions.. make me tired also.. HA. nvm.. Now I'm recharged. It's time to go back to work...
