outstanding. one year three months later, i wrote and recorded a new song. it's called "please". You fall again. You know it�??s always change that stays the same. You try in vain to stop the �??moving on�??s. So let go. You put the blame on things. It�??s nothing new, so refrain. You could repay the times. You�??re wasting mine if you tried. Please go find yourself. It�??s self decay. You pray for all the

outstanding. been busy with school and the other blog. i've only one day of exams and that's the 4th of december. i already feel as if i've completed my semester, so it's kinda weird knowing i've to go to school to do a paper. perhaps a little bit of stress is necessary, so i should be applying some pressure on myself and study. i haven't studied in a long time. only writing and reading,

outstanding. busy bee. busy bee. about to finish reading a book on the autobiographer of the beatles' engineer. this chap, barely out of his teens was the engineer for a few of the beatle's albums. he dared to break all the rules to get the band the sounds they were looking for, despite the strict codes and buttoned-up culture in the recording studio in those days. quite interesting. lots of

outstanding. been very busy. groupwork as usual. what makes it sapping is the logistics, but what makes it bearable is that everyone's motivated and empathetic. on another note, i realise something. what really gets me gutted is that people are unmotivated and lack the humility to admit it. in the process, these people will put the blame on everything else other than themselves when things go

outstanding. just saw some wedding pictures with joyce. i'm on a mean streak right? sam: eeee.. that's porky pig in a dress! sam: oh my god, look at her hairline. she makes lee kuan yew blush! joyce: you're so mean! (but ends up laughing along with me) that's why women like men with sense of humour

outstanding. i published this, but there was no text... ARGH now i've to type everything again. any way, i usually say "i'll put that in my blog" after encountering a funny incident/conversation. but most unfortunately, given my poor memory, i often forget doing it. here goes. i sent joycelyn a picture of an acquaintance (everyone's an acquaintance, right?) joyce: i think her nose is a pity

outstanding. given 10 months till my next reservist, i think i should try to have a new hairstyle. better stock up on hairstyling creams and lotions now haha. gone are the days when you let your fringe and sides/bangs grow long and you comb your hair back. maybe some are still living it: i'm sick of seeing chinese kid with spiky hair, inspired by japanese and taiwanese pop culture. it's too

outstanding. i realised something while researching on caning under the singapore penal code. ok. women, and men above 50 years of age (or considered to be above 50 by the court... that means the court can tell the 49 year old man that he is 51 years old!) are exempted for caning. men who face death penalty also don't need to get the rattan. in a way, isn't that belittling women? why does the

"outstanding" (sometimes mutter "amazing"/"outrageous" before "outstanding") "(if) you know what i mean" "seriously" "what the fuck" "oh fuck off" "full of shit" "oh jeez" "i don't understand" "really" and oh yeah, i finally got published in the straits times on wednesday! can you feel it

outstanding. man utd beat chelsea at penalties. hopefully it won't be a league jinx. it's quite disturbing to know that many players on both sides have been injured. one bad injury and that's the end of your playing career. but football's an industry in these countries, so you could continue doing other sports-related stuff and still make a living out of it. singapore, on the other hand, can be

outstanding. saw this movie "the gridiron gang", loosely based on a true-life account. i thought it'd be some straightforward movie, but turns out it's pretty interesting. the movie highlights the problem of juvenile delinquency in america and stuff. makes me wonder what kind of juvenile delinquency we have here. in america, they've gangs and guns and violence, drug peddlers, petty theft and

outstanding. what's up with blogger? each time i access a site from blogger, there is a slight chance i'll hear some radio news embedded into the site (obviously unintended by the bloggers). my blogsite included! as of right now, after accessing my blogspot site, the news of associated press is playing! right now! i didn't embed anything! the audio news is about chauvanism in italy. wtf!

outstanding. booked my lasik surgery for next thursday. it's gonna be in the morning. can't wait. hopefully it goes fine. on saturday, i told mr boon that if he needed me to help him on wednesday, he should confirm with me soon (by monday). but on monday, he didn't say anything about wednesday, so i assumed nothing is going on. after all, he did have another assistant the previous wednesday,

outstanding. came back from reservist. waste of time. very meaningless. alice visits the wonderland for 5 days and returns to reality. created a wikipedia entry on myself, which was immediately edited and shortlisted for speedy deletion! outstanding! unbelievable... hope to do lasik on my eyes soon. need to go for the check-up first. hope things goes fine.

outstanding. we have a martyr! a full-time national serviceman, who just happens to be the son of the prime minister, blew the whistle in an email, and in obvious apparent exasperation, sent the email to everyone in the army. a true thinking soldier who cares for soldiers and the professionalism of army, and above all, loves his country very much to stick his neck out. hongyi, intelligent,

outstanding. the list of modules are out for the next academic year. it's shitty. only 3 honours year modules for next semester. so horrible. one's compulsory. the other two, one's on regulation and the other is on (hands-on) journalism. i don't like both! i want cultural studies and more academic work, not regulation, policy and journalism. i don't want to be a technician or engineer of

outstanding. 2nd of 6 days of youth tennis (wed-fri this week, wed-fri next week). 2 of us helping mr boon out. the old man took care of the beginners, i took care of the advanced class and alan (a cheerful and friendly chap, 20) did the intermediate players. that is kind of odd, cos on saturdays i usually take the intermediate classes. and it's alan's first time taking on kids (6-11 years of

outstanding. i feel like my body is breaking down. was supposed to help officiate some american doubles game, involving 12 participants from the club. unfortunately 11 turned up and so i was asked to be the 12th. we played 7 matches, 4 games each. and i managed to get 18 points (3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 0) which is at a respectable 4th place, tied with someone else. but of course, no trophies as i'm not a
