    To anyone that even reads this

    i dont see the point of continuing to blog when i cant express myself freely
    when i have to think twice before i write anything down
    to express all the frustrations out

    therefore this blog will be on indefinite hiatus till further notice

    maybe its time i get over this blogging phase
    want to criticise someone/something
    DO IT IN PERSON
    Actions speak louder than words

    talking about anime
    Tuesday, July 06, 2010
    when an anime you watch gets you thinking about your own life
    and when you feel you can relate to the characters
    you know its good
    highly recommend watching the show angel beats

    the characters all suffered horrible fates when they were alive
    they are then transplanted to a world where they live as spirits once again
    given the chance to fufill their dreams, what they wanted to do
    but doing so means you erase your existence entirely
    so whats the choice, to fufill or not to fufill your dreams

    Winter break in hot and humid singapore
    Saturday, July 03, 2010
    as i type this almost 2 weeks of the break would have gone by

    that leaves just 3 more weeks plus before school starts

    3 precious weeks of brain lazing and slack free days before its back to hitting the books

    it was just 2 and half weeks ago that i finished my last paper
    finished my last paper on the 18th of june

    came back to sg on the 21st of june

    in between had a blast of the weekend
    celebrating friends birthday, first time going to a karaoke place ( my teenage years were deprived) , eating out at different food places
    playing part time taxi driver and just soaking in whatever time i have left in laid back Perth
    the rental vehicle had dents and scratches on them so i had to be careful not to add anymore to them if not its extra charges waiting for me when i get back
    its larger than the toyota corolla but has stiffer suspension and heavier steering, not to mention the steering wheel partially obstructs the view of the dashboard display, but engine seems to have more power than the corolla

    been trying to meet up with friends since getting back
    managed to meet up with some of them
    for some not yet
    as you know the older you get the harder its gets to stay in touch with people
    and for me there is this nagging empty feeling just doesn't go away no matter what i do

    i think i have to admit it that for the past 2 years or maybe even longer
    been feeling jealous that i cant find a gf
    but then im also thinking would my life be better if i had one?
    can i force myself to be more quick witted, to be able to sweet talk and outwit people
    right now i just feel that it doesn't pay to be nice to people anymore
    especially if they take it for granted or take advantage
    whats the point then
    nice guys finish last?

    been reading this book i bought dairies of a Singapore taxi driver
    the author used to be professor doing research at reputable institutions but got retrenched
    and is now driving cabs to make a living
    gives you an insight into the life of not just the author but the lives of people from all strata of society bar the elites aka untouchables

    deep down all the glitz and glamor of Singapore
    there is a storm brewing
    and its been building up through the years
    especially since y2k

    whats going to happen in the future?
    i have to think about my own future too
    i cant keep putting it off

    End of semester is here

    and so one more semester draws to a close
    just finished exams a few days back
    i must say this exams feels more badly done than the past few semesters
    and it is the first time my exams on the very last day
    its a frustrating when you see people who finish their exams one week earlier than you start partying away

    its a mixed feelings every time i head back to singapore

    on one hand i can meet up with my family and friends
    on the other hand, there's just this feeling of being transplanted out of one world back into another
    and leaving the place where you spent time living together with other hallmates
    and all the memories both the good and the bad
    all the times of fun, laughter, frustration
    i think i have become too accustomed to this laid back life style since one year ago

    i am supposed to be packing my stuff yet i am lazing around again

    alright off to finish packing

    oh and this is one day late

    wish all fathers a happy fathers day!

    that reminds me got to pack the stuff i bought for my dad


    12:04:00 AM


    time is running out
    Friday, June 04, 2010
    just a few more days to the exams
    caught a cold a few days back
    been sneezing and weezing a lot
    screws your study momentum
    past few days really difficult to keep on studying
    luckily things returning to normal

    apparently theres been some screwup
    the cheque from the insurance company hasnt arrived
    i presume its been lost somewhere
    called them up and requested for it to be resent

    keep my fingers crossed that i will get it sometime next week
    been deprived of all the junk food that keeps me going
    the vicious cycle of studying plus cold weather
    you want to eat more

    everyone is feeling the heat
    you can cut the tension with a knife at times
    i need my comfort food to keep things under control
    and my magic formula drink


    chanced upon these remixes of kpop songs really nice
    kudos to the person who remixed them

    this is just one them

    a lot of things in my head now

    at the back of my mind for the past 2 weeks was what car to get to replace the corolla
    the insurance payout should be arriving soon this coming week
    been searching the web, reading the adverts a few choice in mind
    toyota camry, toyota aurion( stretching the budget and have to bargain in order to get one), honda civic, mazda 3/6 , theres a lot of choices but many of them are private sellers
    searching from dealers only reduces the choices due to the markup in prices
    but the upside is the supposed better quality of cars from dealers

    i would like to think that they have inspected the cars before trying to sell them
    well theres always that risk of buying a lemon and i hope to reduce that chances
    its even possible to get used bmw , wrx, lexus, is, but then... thinking about it, the costs of maintaining these vehicles is higher, not to mention i dont know whether this vehicles have been looked after

    need vs want
    what is deemed as a want by someone is deemed a need by others

    and another problem is my stomach
    the past month have been clearing bowels very often sometimes up to 3 times a day
    its irritating and annoying
    not sure what is causing all this
    the food i eat?
    is it the meals at the hall? the junk food i eat? the soft drinks?
    or something more sinister
    i hope not

    2 more weeks of normal term time
    1 week of swat vacation
    then its exams already
    5 weeks time and its the end of second year of uni

    just like that 4 semesters of uni will be over

    the damaged corolla has been towed away to be auctioned off at discounted prices
    now awaiting for insurance payout from the insurers
    this entire process is taking ages

    ive repaired the corolla back to a drivable state and am forced to let go of it
    i miss the car as a useful tool
    giving you the freedom to go where you want without the contstaints of public transport
    which is alright on weekday mornings and afternoons
    but once the sun sets and the weekend arrives
    public transport becomes .... well lets just say not very efficient
    miss the bus? the next one will come in half an hour
    after a certain time
    its one hour intervals between buses

    well maybe its good that im holed up in the hall more often
    i need to get some serious work done
    been slacking throughout this sem
    even though i dont go out that much
    i procastinate too much on the web, watching shows, youtubing
    and results have suffered from this

    need to think through a lot of things once this sem ends
    need to re evaluate whether i should continue pursuing finance as one of my majors
    having major difficulty coping with the units now, and these units are only the intermediate ones
    have yet to the advanced units

    need to think whether i can still go for exchange in the final semester next year
    i think its too late to change majors now, have to make do with whatever i can get now

    the few comforts now are eating good food to boost morale
    but even thats a challenge with hall food
    and junk food isnt a suitable substitute in the long run
