Thrills and Spills.

Ah finally all results are back. Overall, it was rather disappointing, especially geography and economics. I was really hoping not to get a strings of Es but amazingly I managed to do it again. I mean the level of consistency in me is just like what teachers and uni interviewers are looking for, so I guess it ain't that bad. But on the other hand, i feel better just looking at tSg's MSN nick: why can't it be Aconomics? Good question.

Oh wells, results are BORING. I ain't gonna talk about them no more. It has really been a long time since I last blogged, but ah not my fault k- my life is more boring than you can ever imagine. Finally something exciting happened yesterday and today, I AM GONNA TAKE REVENGE ON NORMEN GOH. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA DIEEE.

It's raining now... I wanna go out to play. I hate studying. I guess I am never gonna ever have ever studied so much in my entire life in the next coming month. Alevelsuckkkkkss. Tomorrow's Hari Raya so happy Hari Raya to Norazlin and Mohammad before I forget. Hope to go your house for some green bao and toys.

By the way, I thought through the question of why guys emo after Norazlin showed us the corny picture. But it's like not everybody can be labelled "emo". It's not easy to like determine who is and who isn't emo too cos as najib stressed, there is like this emo-happy continuum, so the difference between emos and happys these days are blurred. Even EmoBoys are allowed to smile and pinch cheeks these days.


Here's lecture 1: How to talk to Emo Boys.

1. Give him some space. Don't rush up to him and start blurting at the first opportunity. Unless you're dead lucky, this will probably irritate/startle/freak him out a lot. So try and give him a little space-- don't stare too much, don't be too heavy, etc.

2. Find out what he's interested in. You don't have to dig to find out what he likes and what he's interested in. Some ways to figure this out would be:
Observing his clothes. T-shirts with band names or pictures on them may be a dead giveaway to what he's interested in, so keep your eyes peeled.

3. Studying his possessions. Don't become a freaky stalker, but try to get a glimpse of his bag, or something like that. Why he has a bag, I don't know but if he does just walk away. But what's on there may also give you a clue of what he's interested in.

4. Observing his friends. If you know any of them, they might have the same interests. Or you can look at what they do together--listen to music, talk about a certain band, paint their nails, make out...if you have to talk to his friends then you're seriously pathetic.

5. Do Your Research on Emo's. If you know a little - or a lot - about the Emo culture, you're more likely to have a good conversation and impress him. So look them up. Try to find some Emo bands and give them a listen.

6. Find the right time. Don't try to strike up a flirtatious conversation if he's tied to a train track. Okay, that may not happen, but use your common sense to figure out when would be the best time to talk to him. If he's in trouble or looking irritated, avoid chatting-you'll most probably get negative results. But if he looks pretty normal and isn't busy, gather up your courage and try your luck.

7. Don't babble. If you don't talk often, babbling away about yourself--or him--may startle or annoy him. You don't want to scare him off if you've come this far. Try to keep it short and sweet. Talk about something that he can contribute to as well-- it makes the conversation a lot better and more enjoyable.

8. Compliment him. Everyone loves a compliment, so if you want to please him, give him one. As you probably know, complimenting an Emo guy is a little different. But here are some basic things you can say to him:
"Did you get that shirt at a show? It's awesome."
"I like your (item of clothing/possession)-- where'd you get it?"

So as you can see from point 8, usually it's very simple to spot emo guys cos they have really good and unique sense of fashion from like the usual dark clothings. This guy is cool but I've only seen him once. If someone manages to spot him in VJ again please tell me! He's so emo-cool (think starwars)!


So anybody (Norazlin) need any tips on EmoBoys? Too shy to approach them (YeeJek)? Just drop me a msg on the tagboard if you guys have a question and I'll be glad to help out. If you are too shy, feel free to contact me privately via email at emoboys_anonymous@hotmail.com.

Goodbye Prelims.

It's back to becoming a full time slacker now. Finally a break after a seemingly endless prelims exams. YUCKS.

Oh and not forgetting our most successful class outing yet, we had almost half the class going out for lunch and movie so it's Wall-e x2 for me. After which we started to stone and tSg and sugarush decided to leave sneakily when we were trying to decide what to do after that. TSK. Went to Borders which was when I was bored to death so decided to leave sneakily like tSg and sugarush to meet Adriel who was also sneakily mugging again at a sneaky corner which I can't reveal.

Met up with Yee Jek soon after who was doing something sneaky too (as usual), then went to catch some dinner at this powerful place. Seriously, powerful is the correct word. It's like some kind of strange Japanese restaurant which is full of Chinese waiters and waitresses so I felt kinda cheated. It's call Beppu Menkan Japanese Noodle Restaurant.

Check out their logo. Don't get like deceived- it's seriously like some 七月 kinda symbol -.- but their noodles are no joke man.


Opening the menu will already shock you. They have dishes named after stuff like Red Blood Hell, Poison Hell, Bloody Hell, etc etc which was initially a joke for us too cos it seriously seemed screwed up.

Don't you think it looks like a bloody hell indeed? It's almost like noodles soaked in blended chilli juice.


And much thanks goes to Adriel to lend me his face to show how powerful the noodles were. To quote from the man, "my eyes were ejaculating tears all over the shop." I suppose it's quite hard to imagine that so I got some video to help stimulate your senses.



He didn't even finish his 8 chilli hot noodles. Mine was 4 LOL (heng ah).


Sigh the next few days were rather stoned with not too many happening stuff so I had to organise some myself. Went to shoot around Hougang which turn out rather fun.


Don't you think this is a really strange tree? What a mess.


Ah and today went to pool with a couple of peeps- Pong, Zeri, Maho and... me. It was good fun and the Courtesy Warriors finally got to meet. There was much staring on the streets but still, we were proud of our jobs.

A Great Depression.

Ah such an eventful week.


As if prelims was not depressing enough, while we were happily and ignorantly scribbling on our authentic VJC exam foolscrap (secretly hoping that we can save the world with the A on a piece of paper) with a special hole on the top left hand corner as a mark of quality , the world was already melting now.


First it was Northern Rock. Now, Lehman Brothers (just look at them. they SECRETLY knew that this was gonna happen. you can almost tell from that smile) have collapsed together with the surprise sale of Merrill Lynch to Bank of America for mere US$50 billion. Together with the bailout 2 of the largest mortgage giants Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), it seemed like nothing is impossible to fail now. And now American International Group (AIG) is also on the verge of bankruptcy should it fail to raise US$20 billion by wednesday.

Don't think you're not affected. (gasp! me?!) Yes you. Stop giving me that kind of stare.


You probably are one of the millions of people insured under AIA and yes that's a subsidiary of AIG. IGNORANT FOOLS YOU.

Bank runs. Imagine MEGA BANK RUNS. Imagine you, 65 years old, retiring this year with all your entire life savings gone overnight. 65 years of hard work mugging so hard for that 4As in VJC gone OVERNIGHT. It's a really terrible thing. All that borrowing to spend in US has finally gotten back to bite their backsides. And it's a really bad bite- imagine like a big slice of that flesh gone and it's getting infected with like yellowish pus oozing out. There's no way US can sit down now.

There's only a question of who's next- Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley. It's good to keep up with what's happening, especially if you're an Economics student. Being an Economics student is not just all about calculating opportunity cost of reading up on current affairs vs studying for prelims. Cough.

And you probably wouldn't be stroking (or rubbing) your piggy bank if you know the gravity of the issues at hand now.


Okay thanks for reading. That post is to fulfill my dream of working at wall street as a private banker for rich people like Chen Corporation etc. Don't you think I seriously sound serious like a REAL investment banker working there?

Mugged.

I realised it has been awhile since I last updated, thanks to 无抵抗 for the kind reminder.


But seriously, there really anything happening about my life these days. This photo aptly describes my life for the past weeks. (okdoesntmeanimconstantlymuggingbutatleastitriedtothinkaboutitevenwheniplaydoesitcount?)

It's like I am beginning to be transform my life into a full-time mugger and a 100%-ready-to-take-exam-anytime guy. One can perhaps obviously tell from the photo that I have been drinking alot of coffee lately. In addition, there's "The Mug" too. Like OMG IT'S THE MUGGGGG!!!!

Shit.

I am blogging nonsense. Why did 无抵抗 even try to ask me to blog. Plus it's supposedly a waste my precious mugging time too. Oh yes thinking slightly harder there were cool things that happened to me.

1. My phone screwed up. First it was the camera. Then the screen when i slide it up. Then it's the speaker and microphone. Now it's the screen even when it's down. So are you happy now? HAPPY THAT MY PHONE IS SPOILED? VERY ENTERTAINING IS IT???

2. Even cooler. I was crossing the zebra crossing near VJ and this truck DRIFTED in front of me. I was like ZOMFG WTFF??! I tried to google like "drifting truck" to find a photo, BUT THERE WASN'T EVEN ONE ON GOOGLE!! This was the best I got:


Can you like imagine how rare it is for a truck to drift. AND HOW FREAKING DANGEROUS??!! Although it's cool to die getting hit by a drifting truck but I'd rather still die getting knocked down normally by a non-drifting Lamborghini in any case. (if anyone of you were thinking of knocking me down)

Okay cool right my life? I bet you muggers out there don't have a life as cool as mine. LOSERS.

Somehow...

Okays. Prelims officially starts tomorrow and I have zero idea why I am still blogging. Perhaps just to update some happening stuff that happened for the past week. Anyway, my grandma just passed away. Somehow I don't really feel too sad even though we were quite close. I managed to spend some moments with her quietly alone, even though she didn't talk much to me, I could tell that she's already very tired. I really thank God for taking her away peacefully and quietly, and I am glad that she didn't suffer too much pain during this period. Perhaps, it's the right time to let her go.

Back to more happening things. Beetsma is a happy man now. Much thanks goes firstly to my co-projek (cough) manager, mr khaw, for sharing and conceptualising this dream and 坚持到底 with me even though there were times when the banner seemed too screwed to even be true. Lots of thanks also goes out to St. Albert who wasn't too excited about staying back to paint the banner with us but still managed to do so. I know it was a pain in the apple to stay back but we're really glad you did. Next is of course our last official painter (yes we painted the whole darn thing in 6 hours and 4 person -.-) softergay. Thanks for painting the words cos it would be so ugly if the guys were the one to draw it. Nonetheless there was also mr khaw's wife who popped by to cheer us on? Maybe in the reserve psychological manner, those "secretly" laughs in your heart made me even wanna paint it better.

We started with a photo with Martin who was really excited to take photos with us. No idea why. He didn't even ask like why we're taking photos with him. Perhaps he secretly knew...


Ah. There was also JianXu and HanHao who helped us to do up a sketch of Martin. And below is softergay's sketch. -.- way way off.


And the process...








Softergay painting her words.






Tada! Done.




Look at it soar. (ego x1000000)


But Azlin just had to do something strange when I am taking photo. Wonder what she's doing...


That's all folks.

Electro-Magnetive Gravitational Fields.

2. My level of knowledge on this 3 topics are as screwed as how screwed my post title is now. I just keep procrastinating about how I suck and how these 3 topics have screwed me up big time especially during CT2- a drop of 30 mark. Oh great.

3. I have no idea why I am posting this random post now. Maybe I am just looking for someone to talk to but when I went cycling to the park (to look for someone to talk to), it just had to rain and now im drenched. Oh great.

4. Suckkkkk. Everything seems to be going against me. GREATTTT.

5. Maybe it's just the coagulation of all the thoughts I have over the weekend. I guess this is what happens when I am stuck at home and not going out to chill. Facebook is like now my best friend. And dear bs (not bullshit. just like how lj is not...) is my second best, of course.

6. I am currently addicted to this guy call 周杰伦 and his song 我不配. It has been on my iTunes playlist repeat one mode for almost 100 times already. Song of the weekend. Chinese songs don't really capture my liking but somehow Jay always manages to do it.

7. I feel utterly useless this weekend.

1. I am inspired to blog in point form. Maybe because this is a post without purpose and totally random. Okay maybe not- It's classified under "procrastination". Still I shall start with point form now.

8. It took me quite awhile to realise I had like 2 more weeks after GP prelims to all the main papers. Am I like naturally stupid or what?

9. Captain Kee didn't pangseh me. I really don't know why I am doing this.

10.
11. Sorry Captain Kee!

Sugar, Spice, and...

Hmmn. There goes rock climbing farewell.


Rather nice of the juniors to bring us to Kenny Rogers even though the junior:senior isn't really much to their "advantage". Anyways, had quite a good time just chilling and catching up with the guys.


Prelims is coming really close- I dunno... just feel rather stoned about it and feel like slacking it off. Wait, ain't I already slacking? Ah. It just explains the lack of blogging and content. Luckily, we made up some cool stuff to show you guys these days.

We've managed to take a "class" photo! Like our class taking a photo?!! It's almost a miracle seriously. But looking at the number of people in the class... Hmmn maybe that's around how many people we have. Is it not?


What's photo-taking without a little 自高ing? (seriously, I have no idea what they are doing..)


Model couple. So sweet eh? Aww... They were playing the pinch-each-other's-cheek game in case you were wondering what they were doing.


Tree-(House) Climbing Lecture 01


There- The champion of the world feeling a little... confused and uncertain.


Tree-(House) Climbing Lecture 02


Of course, nothing could have ever been possible without our dear photographer, 小一.


And there's always the photography advisor, 李小明.


Why am I feeling so chinese at like 1am in the morning? Okay maybe I should just end it off now with a paragraph of chinese and certainly, with a BANG!

看见徐荣队长与他的"哈人"在高兴 (零抵抗所说："orgasmic smile")，我心里也提他感到高兴。哈哈！


CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!!!
