simplicity is elegance isn�t it? simple people think simply and ask for simple returns� they desire simple dreams, score simple goals and walk the simple path� here at a university we strive to be our best and as i pen down my thoughts i think someone�s scolding me, for being to complex when it ought to be simple� i know someone scolded me cos i was sneezing! *the old theory* well perhaps thats just a simple thought� today�s paper was simply irrelevant� i was stunned shocked and left dumbfounded for the first time i left so many blanks, attempted so few questions and read a portion of the question over and over again wondering, why did i bother coming to this paper� perhaps the simple answer is because you have to, and because u�ve worked hard all ur life and welcome to the university, its your reward, rather my torture� perhaps life only gets tougher as the days go by, but then again, life is how we choose it to be isn�t it? if we�re happy with 1k to get by then why bother working so hard, we work for what purpose i wonder� is it just human instinct of safety in numbers that we�re followin the crowd, pursuing this �miraculous� piece of paper where when filled with As would probably give you a lifetime of �happiness�� today i wonder� and as i walked out of that exam hall i wonder� but after all the wandering about, i settled down with a nice cup of ya kun teh peng� a simple pleasure that made me feel relaxed and at ease� a part of me really wants to know the results of my earlier module� where when so much cannot be done, is there still hope for salvation?

the unintended meal
this entire week seems kindof wierd� somehow i never get to eat what i set out to eat� on wed i wanted to get prawn noodles from the nearby coffee shop, but it was closed, saddened i decided to walk further to the market wanting century egg porridge with you tiao, but i liked the you tiao from stall A, only to realised that stall A was closed� disappointed i went to stall B and WTH! stall B sold all their you tiao, so i just bought some ham ji peng and a glutinous rice one that sounded different and special. then i headed back to collect my porridge� the meal was simple but the glutinous rice ham ji peng was uniquely special and different� Yesterday I went again to the coffee shop for prawn noodle, this time, it was opened but the prawn noodle stall, closed� as if i�ve been sinning too much lately, i ended up eating zai mi fen� not exactly a very wholesome breakfast i guess but i made do with it� today after my paper (i�ll get to that ltr) I went to my sch�s jap restaurant which serves very nice creamy chicken n mushroom only to realised ltr that they mixed up my order and i�ve ended up with carabona, they asked politely if i�ll accept it, but fearing that my chicken mushroom pasta will have added ingredients, i sheepishly agreed and settled with what i was offered� i wonder if there�s parallels in the meals i get lately and the life i�m living lately� it seems that i�m not getting what i seek to desire, what i order, instead i�m given an alternative. some of which are positively accepted while others are accepted since it is the next best alternative� I wonder if i�m wondering too much and i wonder how not to wonder� as i flip open the text �Foundations of Materials Science and Engineering� i see the keywords, overwhelming, disastrous, insanity, memory instead of Austenite, Martensite, Corrosion, Nernst Equation etc etc� even when i finally see them after flipping more pages, i realised that the questions are daunting that I am unable to overcome them� and after a while into it, i feel a simple painful feeling *headache*� if only things were that simple.. but crying over spilled milk at this juncture is useless� there�s nothing more than pressing on that can be done� with just 2 more weeks to the end, I guess I have to� today�s paper? the longest one of its kind� my response? the longest one i�ve inked.. perhaps its the last as well since after all there may soon be the death of print and digital publications being its reincarnation�

some days when i look for things, they are right before me� just that i fail to cherish them� just now i went for a jog and like Homer, yes! my belly is hugE! and yes i was dying!!! nvr had my leg feel such pain and ache! i think i wore too tight a pair of socks, fresh from its packing but still that pain felt like my heart� i now know why i�m so tired lately, i guess its really true that happy people are best performers! its amazing how at the start of the sem i wake up early, sleep little jog often and hey i�m still good and running.. now, JUST LOOK AT ME� sloth� i really feel so tired, so torn apart� so disturbed and worried about what might happen and if i�m too late� yet stepping in now seems evil and might wreck havoc where havoc could be avoided� some days its better than I die alone than drag someone else along with me� sighx� like my limbs, my heart�s immobilised after a �2.4 km� journey� what should i do�

need i say more? wellx i dun think i wanna post this on fb to publicise that i just blogged and that if u see it and thing end up in a good way then :) if u see it and things turn worst then wellx its nt like i�ve never screwed up before� if u dun see it and its too late by the time i finally tell u then i guess its just the way it is� i�m always too late by the time i�ve made up my mind� i�m wondering when it is best to tell u what i want to tell you� but now i�m more worried about your studies that telling you will complicate things further.. but failing to say may mean certain disaster� i�m worried and i�ve not been this worried before.. perhaps its explains the over reactions and the gestures of late because i�ve finally come to terms with what i want, and finally made a decision that i am ready to live with just not sure if the ending will be as blissful as i�m hoping� its been tiring holding everything back and i�m now in a situation worst than the stupid monkey above.. telling u seems bad, not saying seems certain death! either way its killing me softly� i wish i was like the monkey, i�d just turn around and untie that freaking knot.. if only the knot in my heart is that easy to untie� some days i guess my strength is my greatest weakness� i love too much and for that reason it�ll one day be the death of me when the world comes tumbling down.. either way.. it already seems so :s moving forward is a challenge, moving backwards is an impossibility� and listening to Cascada�s what hurts the most, is an escape� as complicated as this post seems, it is so likewise the situation i am in right now�

as i turned to my phone, it sits in the exact position i left it. as i turned to my phone, I hoped it vibrated and moved an inch. as i turned to my phone, I checked not twice but thrice to see if i missed ur msg. as i turned around, I realise you�re not there� I�m vexed� not especially good when exams are so near� all the math models are driving me up the wall!!! I really dun noe wat to do except to hug my bolster and listen to that Jay Chou song� its in chi! so i dun noe wats the title :( but wellx� I�m thinkin how to plan for the weeks ahead, so much to do, so little planning done, so lost I am! sighx� I wonder, how best to maximise my time and my energy, I�m drained but emotionally not mentally� still I need all the energy to pull me through to the finish line� I�m wondering and pondering over the smallest issues� how best to plan wed to send my close friend�s best friend off without wasting too much time� I�m thinking if i should even attend class on wed, since goin from home to Changi is nearer than from sch� i�m wondering if i should even try to go directly to her house instead and help her with preparing for the airport� that way at least i spend time wisely� but this is but such a small issue compared to the massive exams which lies ahead� yet i think so much, over something so little� perhaps its just in line with thinking over something big, bigger than what�s already supposedly massive come end of the month� confused you may be, clear I am�
but perhaps a little late am I, and once again I rush hurriedly to the dock, only to know the ship has left�
hopefully not forever�

Overwhelmed I guess alot have happened lately and I�m super tired� drained and bored of being pissed and fuming! life should be taken a step back, enjoyed and appreciated! SO WHY BOTHER! now thats the attitude i should try to take on in the next chapter of my life� with exams coming in a few weeks, i really need to focus all energy on studies rather than all the unimportant desires� somedays i just wished for someone to be next to me so that when i�m down i�ve a shoulder to lean on� but this time round that shoulder i�m longing for seems to be absent� perhaps i ought to learn and grow to live with such absence to learn to stand on my own two feet and fight the battles on my own, and accept defeat like a true sportsman. hoping for others to be by you is perhaps like hoping for a rabbit to bang the tree� hmmx *bad analogy* but wellx i oso dun noe wats the point� my mind�s cluttered with Eutectic and Proeutectic phases! where a Eutectic reation gives rise to two solid solutions� wellx at least clinst agreed to MOVIE ltr on!!! whoots! so heading to get the tickets in a while.. hopefully after i complete my chapter :) then studying at SMU or at NLB *yet to decide* but i do have something in mind for dinner *whootx* so looking forward to the night of finally relaxing more after studying� ok face it! i study very little lately! but motivation is everything! I have to find back myself i was in sec sch where i soared to the top, perhaps cos i wasn�t desiring for it :) somedays i just feel that god has planned out everything and wellx.. i guess HAPPY Easter in advance!

Another beginning The sun rises gently bringing along with it warmth, care and compassion� life has its bitter sweet moments and i guess as i flip the pages, I noticed its never the be all and end all. My book still has so many empty pages waiting to be filled with experiences and i�m glad that finally after some sound advice, things could come to a conclusion and the previous chapter, if i may, entitled �forbidden love� *so cliche sighx* holds the truest meaning and i�m glad that yes, its concluded and now on this next blank page, I can carry on to pen down the wonders of my life� 
growing up is a process and i guess lifelong learning is apt! from each episode i learn more and I do look forward to a better one the next round given my slight gain in experiences�

Insomnia
lately the mosquitoes love to visit me in the middle of the night and wake me from my soundless sleep� perhaps soundless is unapt as well� i�ve been feeling troubled and vexed over the love of my life� its perhaps one of the bestest yet saddest moments in my life.. having the first i wooed leaving for aust, the 2nd i tried goin to the UK, the latest that i gave up so much for, and treasured deeply, leaving for NOC to the US� what is worst her reaction of late which confuses and disappoints� my heart is weak has been weak and after years of piecing things together, it now simply shatters again� are women really mean to be treated as nothing? or perhaps those i wooed are all but nothing� I really wonder and even when things seem so perfect, when her hand fits nicely in mind, when her laughter brightens the darkest of days, today, this moment her absence makes my heart fumble� makes it weak and whats more her public image on facebook differs so much from the truth that lies in the smses reply of late� a 1 word reply to close the case, the dare to even ask a broken man�s heart �what do i get in return� when asked if he could borrow her financial calculator� such is but memories more bitter and stinging than the mosquitoes that lurks within the very walls i live it� its sad having to tear about her leaving s�pore for a year� its sadder that every nice memory of her seems so confused and warpped right now� i really wonder what she wants, but it feels to me she enjoyed the moement weeks ago and now, having taken what she wanted, has left happily leaving me wondering each night, why the girls in my life end up like that� its not that i woo many, and she really is amazing, witty and just adorable but then sadly the actions of late� are just like the vortex we took during the CNY break� as high as it goes, it returns u back to reality, to ground zero to realise that actually nothing on this planet is true to wonder what is LOVE actually� to wonder why do i even want to love truthfully� to wonder more importantly if love even exists� the simplest desires of mine, yet the hardest to achieve� now all i want to do is try to move on but she comes to my mind so often and seems to stay forever� perhaps her near perfect image weeks ago still hold a large portion in my heart� if only moving on was like wearing your shoes and walking out of the door, but sadly reality has it tat moving on is, like taking the first step off the cliff� its a wonder how i can create a false image of happiness and pleasure, open house was a blast but deep down within i know that much more sorrow lies hidden within the tresses which linger� wait what does that mean anyway? perhaps its just means that on the front i look strong and jovial� but deep within i need more� and absence is the last i desire� Been up all night staring at you
Wondering what's on your mind
I've been this way with so many before
But this feels like the first time
You want the sunrise to go back to bed
I want to make you laugh
Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers i'm waiting
Every word you say i think
I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight
Happy to lay here
Just happy to lbe here
I'm happy to know you
Play me a song
Your newest one
Please leave your taste on my tongue
Paperweight on my back
Cover me like a blanket
Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers i'm waiting
Every word you say i think
I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight
And no need to worry
That's wastin time
And no need to wonder
What's been on my mind
It's you
It's you
It's you
Every word you say i think
I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight
And i give up
I let you win
You win cause i'm not counting
You made it back
To sleep again
Wonder what you're dreaming

Erasmus Air 
You�re listening now to the latest hits on Erasmus Air � a classic station bringing you only the best! This morning�s choice was indeed selective and as the station just developed itself, it takes a while to get really somewhere. But still it had the fortune of inviting Guest DJ Ms Thiri �Soo Mean� to co-host the morning�s show! 
so as Barny puts it �what up�!?! The show featured a slight segment of the weather tucked neatly in the middle of a series of Chart Toppers from the DJ�s favourite mix! Erasmus�s Top Picks! 1. Boy like Girls => Two is Better Than One (who could ever resist such a wonderful song, crafted with meaning and charm) 2. Atmosphere by atmosphere (just shows how dumb the DJ is, but still a fantastic song that marries melody and rhythm 3. Thiri�s Vday mix track 3 (so soothing and wonderful, who needs the title anyway?) 4. Thiri�s Vday mix track 6 (as it goes �every time I close my eyes, I thank the lord that I�ve got you�) 5. Down => Ft. Lil Wayne (A rock song that gets all moving to the grooving) 6. Insomnia (Sleeping was never so hard as this song tells of every reason) 7. Whatcha say => Jason Derulo (WAT!?!? Exactly) 8. Here in my heart => plus one (a nice way to end the top picks and most certainly, a song that moves every time) A good mix I would say, from soft chick songs to fast cool movey grovey ones! most certainly, special thanks to the Guest DJ for brightening up the morning air and sadly the station stopped broadcasting for sometime. Erasmus had to get breakfast for parents and head to ECP for cycling with his pals!!! It was certainly fun to be cycling after a while, but still its more stressful cos little has been done thus far and only god knows what�s in plan for him!!! as much as he prays, he does get protection a good amount of ways. Driving was stressful today with the increased traffic and some very inconsiderate drivers. Most certainly the cycling was less tedious! and we went up to the NSRCC chalet area, stopping by for pictures every now and then� well photos will be uploaded by his best friend clinston when the time comes ~ if it ever ~ hahhx so wellx okieX! now i�m so gonna get some rest before I head off for my bday party tonight! stay warm ppl!

The evening of the 17th Lolx where was I? hmmm visiting kemet ehx? yeax!!! then aft that i head home to bathe, change as well as too grab my semi pro camera as I wanted to capture the nice shots at River Ang Pao down at esplanade!! which i did!!! ok so this was how the night with Thiri �So Mean� begun� we first started out with a wide range of arcade games! from shooting stuff to playing some mario cart! sadly of which i din even noe wat i was doing!!!! HAI yox! cos it wasnt linked up and we thought we were shooting each other when in reality, it was diff stuff!! then we ended the arcade mania with some touch screen insanity! played those kind of pair up game where you had to click/touch two animals of a kind! yepx� then we moved on to dinner, supposedly at the 99cents sushi at cathay, but in the end we had it in Ice Monster plaza sing! the deal was really good and the mango ice shave completed the well prepared dish. Mine was chicken cutlet which was really tender and juicy, not oily to the taste and flavourful to the liking. ironically it came with 2 wedges!!! like WHY two only?!?! oh wellx but still cam whore mania started!  
It was certainly a very funny dinner but things din just stop there, as we proceeded on by foot towards the floating platform� we stopped by cathay to take some shots in the S�pore Girl style!! hahx before heading to SMU area for more as well   
after which there was a really nice bridge to take some photos and i recalled learning waltz at hall!!! so i decided to teach my salsa partner waltz!!! hahahx and surprisingly she picked up pretty fast!!! it was a pretty funny moment with ppl walking by probably thinking who�s this insane pair! 
moving on we headed en-route to Esplanade!!!! where i got to see SEASHELLSSS ahahx apart from taking some more lame pics!!! okies i guess those you can find on my fb profile! whootX! so yupx finally after about 3hours of meeting we got to river ang pao! the atmosphere (now playing)�� was really buzzing with life and carnivality (wateva tat means) but Yupx it was filled with CNY and all the funfair ride! gosh! seriously i never think that i would even go and take such rides! but Thiri was this courageous and adventurous girl that insisted I gave Vortex a TRY!!! I was like OMGGgggg!!!! I sooooooooo feared being spun upside down and down side up! so while waiting we headed to try the milder sky ridER! and it was amazing! feeling the G-force all around you as you get spun in circles!! ah yoyox!!! its one ride you should TRY! however nothing beats vortex!! the idea of being spun 360 deg!!! my gosh that was most certainly INSANE! wildest ride of my life but the greatest one in my history books 
the wonderfully funny night came to a quick but fun end with a whole host of conclusions!!! 
and here they are, that Ms So Mean is really mean in some ways (see photo evidence below) hahax dresses well from knee above :p is a fun and adventurous girl that really parties and lets her hair down!!! but ought to get to work and start studying to keep her 2nd UPPER!

HAppening CNY wow ystd was in every way a wonderful day!!! financially and fun-factorly :ppp I headed down to Kemet to bai nian as well as to visit my ex colleagues and to bid farewell to gin who had her last day! It was really nice to see the familiar faces and of cos to get oh so many ang paoS!!! why more than I expected them to be! but more importantly it was the bonding and friendships forged over the period of time! normally goin back to the office, bringing a gift i shall! and this time to represent gold ingots, I brought rocher to distribute :))) thankfully just sufficient to go around! we headed down after that to suntec to have lunch! and it was really nice!!! the food republic food court was pricy but still it was worth every bit i guess! I had a wonderful nasi lemak priced at $5 but giving you a nicely fragrant rice, crispy chicken, wonderful otah and a tempura prawn fried to perfection! after which boss treated us to ICE CREAM!!! lolx!!! it was a good way to end the day after all the weather sucks lately!

CNY mania well i�m soooo darn full now! hahahx and decided I shall blog first before i start with my eng assignment! whootox hmmxm the eve of CNY was pretty fun! having dinner at this place called brizillian feastia which serves a good deal of meat! perfect for this huge beast :p  and thankfully cos we had 10 of us, they gave us the private room!! lols felt so much like a VIP! it was our 2nd time there thou and the deal was great thou not as fantastic as the previous one! below are my cousins (mom side)  
after dinner I met up with my bestie to watch fireworks at chinatown! and she really did take her own time! but it wasn�t really her fault since her parents made her cook dinner and wow! tat was some spread she prepared (as seen from the phone). the fireworks this year was pathetic and seriously!!! OMG whats happened to the economy! less than 2 mins worth of shots and really made me feel as thou i�ve wasted my time there! but still the company was great and we had quite some laughs! . Day 1 CNY wellx the first day of CNY was surprisingly more family oriented! I decided to go lunch with my parents for this awesome 1for1 lobster set at manhattan fish market! and since my parents so insist it was worth it, we had 4 plates for 3 of us!!! I had a total of 1.5 lobster and smiled my way to the next stop!!! it was sinfully good that we had to pack the excess fish and calamari rings home! whootx! 
moving on we headed to explore macrichie! wanting to get to the tree top walk! but sighx it was too far!! instead we saw some playful monkeys and had a really good hiking experience around the area! it felt fun thou tiring!! ahhx 
I was thinkin to take a 1 star kayaking course in due time as well!!! so that I can go there and just rent a kayak and row all over the place!!! whoohoo! the water seem peaceful thou we all know its depth and dangers! I even heard that crocs lurk in the deep waters :p well that pretty much concludes the 1st day of CNY (14th feb) with my night spend on doing an essay outline :) . Day 2 cNY I got up early and headed off for a 2.4 km slow jog!!! woa!! fit-sia! haha for the first time i got to drive the car on my own!!! you know whats the funny part? I get to fly on my own after like 20hrs of training! but for the car it took forever before i got to drive alone!! lolx! but it was fun thou I was so pissed off with the John who was late and made me drive over to his block just to get him GRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr wellx thankfully clinst held me back else i�d just drive off to mr kwok�s place! reason for the rush? I had to meet my bestie�s parents and her for lunch and to bai nian and most certainly I dun wanna be late!! hahax but wells we reached Mr kwok�s place about 9.45 and had a really good chat before the crowd came! and not long after, i headed off to my next location! my bestie was funny! I knew she din get up early and hoR! made me and her parents wait as she bathed and changed! lolx! but we headed to eat this extermely prawnie tim sum buffet! hahx and she was certainly no veteran buffet-er (buffet eater) for she din noe that the price was higher that afternoon since it was CNY and it was a public holiday!! OMG! but the food was really great! thou everything was mostly centred around prawnS! it was nice that her parents dropped me off at orchard ion there after for me to go john little for shopping! and SHOP I DID! i got 2 new shoes, 1 sandals, 1 jeans, 1 top (thou black) and whoots!!! other essentials! hahahx it was fun thou! but pretty rushed as I had to go back home and prepare for dinner at my aunt�s place! this was the most awesome highlight of all days! they never fail to impress with the HUGE tempura prawns, the juicy abalone slices, the chew sea cucumber, the tender pig�s trotter!!! and my uncle served Martel Gordon Blue!!! whoots! who could resist such a fine temptation! I downed 3 bits over the entire night, a few glasses of fruity wine and a wholesome can of carlsberg cos my dad din wanna drink up!!! AH YOX!
