Quarantine
Dear TomHa,
Ar... I hate to be stuck at home and not being able to go anywhere. Ultimate sian-ness. The closest thing that I can do to climbing is to hang myself on the door hinge with fingers, the pull up style, not the tie rope and hang on the neck style current record, 12 seconds, assuming my brother timed accurately...and also to practise my knots. I love my double decker bed, which I sleep below and my brother sleep on top. Lots of places to tie ropes and practise anchors! Woohoo! Hope I can still remember them when I go China.
Amazingly, I get near full mark results for my quizzes for my Robot kinematics and dynamics module. Super amazing as I have no idea what the hell I am writing on the papers. It is something like knowing the differential of x^2 is 2x without knowing what the hell it is for...if you get what I mean... Wow... how nice....

No Reason
Dear Tomha,
Why am I still up?
Cos' I want to fool myself that I am preparing for my exams dilligently, and the time when u sleep always appears to be a really good indicator of diligence.
Why am i still not studying?
Cos' i would like to believe that I cannot work without coffee and coincidentally, there are none of that now in the house.
Why am I in the toilet typing this entry?
Cos' lazy people have lots of shit and urine... (Chinese Quote)
Cheers to the coming holidays!

Wildlife
Dear Tomha,
Went to the wildlife stampede, which is like some sort of a parade of little children dressed up animals, in the Botanical Gardens last week. As it had been drizzling a little before that, the atmosphere was a little humid although it did not drench any of the participants' will to carry on the parade and the show after that. A colorful event, lots of cute little children, lots of creative costumes. Check out my flickr for more photos. However, in the end, the most important thing was still the rather sombre Jane Goodall speech to appeal for more conservation awareness, in which, she told a very touching story.
There was this chimp, a rather angry one, which, for his character, was sent to a faraway place to live in isolation among the woods and 2 females. There was this person, who was appointed with the rather regretful task of sending the chimps food. And so, he went about his job by leaving the food at some corner in the woods, where the chimpss would collect by themselves at the end of the day. However, one day, as he went about his usual routine, the angry chimp was at the exact spot. For some reason, the caretaker reached out his hand with a banana and the chimp accepted it gladly. Emboldened, he stayed there longer than what he needed, observing the angry chimp.
Days went by, and everyday, the caretaker would feed the angry chimp by hand, staying there to observing him. As if fate would have it, one day, the chimp wasn't there but a young chimp came by. A sudden realisation that the chimps had produced an offspring came to him, and he reached out to feed the chimp excitedly, but he slipped and fell, startling the little chimp. The 2 females, thought that it was an act of provocation, attacked the caretaker. Being mightily stronger, the caretaker thought he was dead for sure. Then, he heard the roar of the male. Thinking that the male is out to get him, he prepared himself for the worst. However, a turn of events that he did not foresee happened. The male actually chased the two females away into the woods, saving the caretaker.
If even chimps know what's gratitude, what about we homo sapiens???

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Dear TomHa,
Yep, that's what I am studying right now, for my thermal environmental engineering module. Module title sounds pretty cool isn't it? But there were like only 3 lessons that really touched on the environmental part of thermal engineering. The rest are just all pure, boring air-con stuff. I guess I am good enough to repair any air con in the world. Provided I have the right tools that is.
I am so bored. I should have taken lesser modules in the past. I am at an absolutely stressless state now that I only have 2 modules to study for. So stressless am I that I doubt I will do well. Thing is, although I always whine about work and stuff, they were a source of motivation, a warning that I do not have time to be tardy and fool around and watch stupid things like the finals of Star Search and extended crunchyroll viewing. These are so wrong. Things that I would not do should I be still taking my normal regimen of 6 modules. Oh wellzzz...
Ar... the lack of stress is killing me...
High School Musical
Dear TomHa,
Wondering what all the fuss is about, I watched the show this morning on Kids Central. Seriously, it is all Disney's formula working in this show. Romance, Shakespearean style, cue Troy showing up at Gabriella's balcony, music with loud bass, nicely choreographed mass dance, fulfilling family expectations, and the world is your oyster kind of teen is power kinda thing.
No wonder kids like it so much.
Artists
Dear TomHa,
Liverpool are drawing so much, they might as well go become artists, painters or cartoonists... really cannot make it. They knew Arsenal drew with Man U and Chelsea won. Wtf, and they still not motivated to win ar?
I wonder why am I so worked up over something that does not affect my life in any significant way...
Bowl
Dear TomHa,
Recently, as I had really no interest in whatever module that I had bidded so hard during bidding for, I began to doodle during lectures and started drawing.... Wait... me? drawing? I must be kidding myself. But I did drew something. But as someone great, like the Ang-to the Augustus used to say,
Here is a self-portrait of myself:
Triangle faced with bowl-cut hairstyle with a slit by the side. So RV-me.
Locked out
Dear TomHa,
I don't usually get locked out of my house. Not that I always remember my keys, but it is just that I could always count on my family being at home to bail me out of the sticky situation. However, today, I forgot my keys and my family went out. Not wanting to spoil their dinner as what a lovely and kind boy like me would do, I decided not to call them and ask for help, as my mum, being the 24hour mum, would certainly freak out and rush the whole family's dinner. Hence, I just sat outisde the door, along the steps, and as I had brought my laptop out, started doing my work while turning on the stereo function of my phone, playing the latest mp3s. It was a good feeling, helped by the fact that there was a cool breeze and a really quiet night. I became super productive and finished my lap report which I would normally have took like 2 hours to complete. Did it in 1hour this time. Hmmm, very surreal feeling. Hard to explain, but it was nice.
Cheers!
Exams coming! and this blog is going to come alive again!
