03:22am 06/04/2005   Hmmm...a pretty depressing day i think. no, actually it's a combination of various emotions. I have no memories whatsoever where i was totally happy, sad or whatever shit on a day. A rather long post. and I don't apologize in any way cuz I just feel like getting it off my head. Played ball in the school gym! heh, i was the 1st user of the court today.(at 10am--yeah, its holiday these days, so not many people in university) It was a weird feeling...entering the huge gym ( i was more like awed) , and playing hoops, all by myself. I had the 2 whole freaking whole courts by myself. lol... but of course i'm not that silly to go around like an idiot, shooting hoops randomly in either court. i realized i'm not comfortable if someone is watching me playing... the bugger was in the upper segment of the gym where you can look down and see the entire courts... so there i was shooting hoops while being observed... i felt exposed... not that i was naked playing...lol....but the impact on me is sorta positive...actually more of like fear of being embarassed... so there i was making shot after shot cuz he was watching.... though i was murmuring to myself....go away, go away...lol played for an hour...but an hour seems long...especially if ur alone... well duh, my bugger friend said he would come..but no sign...yup 10am is VERY EARLY for most people i know here. heh, no wonder he rarely turned up for 9am classes. then again...he told me he felt most alive during midnight till like 4am. i'm total opposite...my body clock is set to 11.30... by that time, i'll be feeling drowsy already. oh well... heh, i tried this silly game again today. back in singapore when i played on my own again, i told myself that i would not leave the court if i didn't make 100 free throw shots IN A ROW... i know it will happen some day...but i dun think any soon. heh, somehow when i'm keeping count of consecutive shots, the next shot will turn out EVIL....it will tease you that it's like a sureball...then bang....it goes in and out...and i'm like WTF...>_<..oh well, maybe my shot has some sort of problem, some spin or shit... a rather cold today...i was shivering a bit even while playing ball. -- took a shower and on my way to the bathroom, i was Half-naked..well, there was a towel draped over my upper body. so thinking the coast was clear, i went up...then to my shock, 2 women were there...a cleaner and another resident of the hall (i tot she was cute =P)... so there i was going up and the Cleaner gave A WIDE SMILE as i went past her...felt so perverted...LOL... so i acted cool, giving a fake smile and shit...and off to the bathroom i went. -- finally got to finish My story by Dave Pelzer. A truly inspiring story...A must-read. Message of the story: Never give up. Reading it makes me feel Blessed. Real blessed. I feel glad i have a great family, a painless childhood at least physically. I grew up great. Had friends and all...Certainly not deprived in any way conceivable and thank God for that. I think one day, i'll be a foster parent. Even if i had my own kids. I think a child should never be deprived of having functional parents while they grow up. If you want to make the future a little brighter, go be a foster parent and treat them the very best way as you would raise your own. So off to univ. i went...have a brainstorming session for a project... Freezing, waited for like half an hour for the stupid bus. but it was less painful cuz i was reading Sputnik sweetheart by Murakami. I think i was blind when i bought the book. I tot the story was about a guy falling in love with a woman 17 years his senior... NO...it's a actually a GIRL falling in love with a woman 17 years his senior. Totally caught off guard. cuz, i'm not exactly a big fan of lesbianism. threesome maybe...LOL..j/k j/k. well, i said...hmm..i'm gonna be open minded and anyway the guy's a genius...so to hell with prejudices... -- Finally reach school...discuss...discuss... plan...plan....blah blah. blah...got it all planned out with her... so hopefully we can each sit down and finish what we assigned each other to do. so chatted with her a bit after the brainstorming session.... stuff like...what to do after exams...work? , tours? etc.... i was on MSN too...and chatting with a former housmate....He's very INTO END OF THE WORLD shit... so b4 PJP II died, he said that the pope would miracously get healed and be on exile somewhere while i dunno...an antichrist seats at the helm of the church... so i said: well there u go, PJP II died...he agrees and mentions that God had clearly different plans...and the TRIBULATION was going to start faster than what was predicted...I just smiled...i dun believe in this stuff anymore...maybe if u talked with me 4-5 years ago. hehe... Then he mentioned my University in Malaysia CAUGHT FIRE!!!! i was like wtf....no wonder ur online...No work!!! and other people too.... they're at home chilling out....The university shut down for like 3 days...Damn, no wonder i couldn't log in to my old account...and my internship application haven't reached. >_< heh, anyway we related to it as if it was amusing...no one got hurt which is good... A FUNNY INCIDENT: It was registration day for Foundation students when the school was close a few days ago... So out from a car the student came out....THE LOOK on his face was priceless, says my housmate...A look of displeasure....Suprise....and somewhat like being Cheated...LOL man, our reputation there could have been tarnished... if it ever Reached the LOCAL papers...LOL actually it will be WORSE if the NEW CAMPUS was not Completed by next school year...and Instead of lecture halls, We'll be having lectures IN A NEARBY FOREST!!! LOL... yeah, i understand its been made on some deserted place...though developments are being made though....Suddenly i feel hesitant to go back...then again..It'll be fun to see the guys again...=D oh, back to my friend...suddenly our conversation led to another friend of ours... He's being totally hopeless...and alienated...cuz of unpaid debts...well, the bugger still owes me 30 pounds. >_<. I don't like asking people to pay back what they owe me. I feel people who owe people money should take the initiative to pay back. Well, thats me...I dun wait for people to ask me for money i owe them, i give it back as soon as i have the money. No questions asked...cuz owing people stuff BUGS me...it's like a chain on me. so i feel free if when i pay back debts. Well, it's been a long time since i owed people money...so it's been good i suppose. Bah! anyway, i will get my money b4 the semester ends..no doubt bout that. Anyway...this friend...or maybe not now...lest he change his ways...is apparently hooked to GAMBLING!!!! aaargh...damnit early in the school year, he'll brag bout how he made some small killings playing blackjacks. and we were like...cool cool...i was like...wow...this bugger damn rich...got money to gamble on.... but that was not the truth. The truth was he relied heavily on his credit card! and somehow it had the power to withdraw cash, but only at the casino??? He doesn't have a bank account apparently...so he survives with this stupid credit card...maxes out every month.... gah! amazing how dumb his parents are. trusting too much! and no BANK ACCOUNT??? WTF...that was the 1st thing we were suppose to do on orientation week!!! that was on my priority... cuz the 1st 2 weeks i was living on Travelers checks... so if i have no bank account, No money can't be sent. I made sure a bank account was secured...took another one week to be ready. anyway...i herd other bad things bout him....NEVER going classes....EXTREME laziness....EAT SLEEP COMPUTER GAMBLE...that's the cycle of life...NO LAUNDRY (ewwww...ugggh) , NO GROCERY BUYING (one meal a day??? or just go to other people's place to eat???WTFFFFFF).... basically living day to day... with no direction..... It was depressing to hear. Failed ALL modules except one. man, it's going be really tough for him, with all the resits he going to take...and guess what, he can't be bothered to study. It's sad to think he entering this madness.... My friends have tried to advise him and all...Enuf gambling...Go get a part time job to slowly pay off the dues...and get a grip on your studies... try as they might, he remains defiant and doesn't GIVE A SHIT.... well, I don't Give a shit to People who don't give a shit about themselves. Suit yourself, It's your life. You don't want to heed advice? Fine, Like i care too. With all these, he has managed to shut us off, his ex-friends who came with him here. For now, he's just a stranger for me...someone lost and owes me some money. I'll probably try to talk some things with him and give him my mind...i.e. advice... but if he's just going to shrug it off with an I Don't care attitude, or don't even ATTEMPT to change things...i.e. stop gambling, go find a job to pay off debts, study..... then screw you, can't help you. At the moment, he's the only one who can help himself.... Counsellors? heh, if u can't even trust the advice of your own friends, what makes it possible he's gonna listen to them? waah..tired of writing....I just hope he straightens his life out. He's too young...such a waste. My initial impression of him, upon arriving here and hanging out with him and the whole contingent was that he was an intelligent and Loud bugger...talks a lot....even tried courting a coursemate of mine. sure he says he's lazy and all... i was like, heh, everyone in general is lazy. I just didn't fathom that he would be THAT lazy...even to the point of just wasting the day off via sleeping...NOT doing laundry....and not eating properly... *sigh* I leave it up to him. It's sad cuz it's a future wasted and it was good times, especially the initial 2 weeks.... heh, we even tried out for the basketball team (we had no chance to make the team though...LOL) ....but all because of Gambling....things changed drastically....Damnit...Gambling should be banned to students... If you're a student, no gambling! i have nothing against gambling if you have money to spare....and you're working...if not, Just stay away from it. You'll get hooked and things will change. No doubt. It's not even funny. You might get away with beginner's luck and feel macho and shit...but don't be delusional... The odds of winning are stacked AGAINST you....Casinos ARE NOT stupid. And so am I. So say no to Gambling. whew. on a positive note, I'm playing for the SEMIS in RBJ fantasy NBA league.... if win this week, FINALS baby!!! =D i'm confident i can win this week...but it's gonna be a close one. His squad are all stat machines...Iverson? Kobe? wtf.... well, i've got Big Daddy shaq, the Wallaces, Rip and Gasol to rely on...Oh and captain Hinrich too. =D It's gonna be fun. I'm nervous though. Sure it's only a game...but I KEPT A CLOSE Watch on it for 6 MONTHS!!!! yup, checked on it almost everyday... yes, make sure i keep my lineups good and ready to go...making transactions and Deals with the other players. yup, i'm probably the most active in that league. and it has paid off. =D...so proud.       Read 3 - Post       09:30pm 06/04/2005   Joke of the day from Talkingcock.com (Singapore's funniest site) Now that Singaporeans are going all over the world, whether for business, pleasure or humanitarian missions, we need to learn more foreign languages.
