I was Early, for Once

I can't sleep last night. Actually, there's a point around 6 plus that I really got sleepy but I had to meet Ian at 9 in the morning, so I decided to stay awake all the way in case I fall into a deep sleep, probably waking only at 3-ish in the afternoon. Anyway, Ian is some guy introduced to me through some long chain which goes Pris->Geri->Bonnie->Ian. This is just a simplified link. The actual one is so confusing that I don't know who's calling me. I guess Pris gave my number to Geri, and Geri called me to tell me to call Ian and refer myself as a friend of Bonnie. Don't know who's Bonnie anyway. The purpose was to discuss about some website projects he've got for somebody to do, and the meeting was arranged because of a few people notified, only me responded. Looks like I'm broke or something, so desperate for cash. Yes, I admit I'm not too well off now at the end of the month, but part of it goes to interest too. I was thinking it'll be go experience to do web projects during them semestral break since usually in the past, I bum my time away till school re-opens and whine about it. Next semester, I'll be taking integrated web systems and solutions and I thought that'll be good training for me because usually in school, when I don't know something, I'll go find out for a couple of minutes before stoning and then rotting. When I'm working for someone (money) I feel more responsible and I'll have much more drive to get things done. That sounds materialistic and money-faced but who isn't. To speak frankly, I'm not obesessed with cash but just need some of it to sustain my spending habits. I'm not exactly a spendthrift, but just like to go for good food and be a brandwhore once in a blue moon. I'm surviving under mum's allowance tracking program okay! 4 days and I still do have some to spare.

Anyway, I bloody sidetracked from the topic, as far as from Singapore in the year 2007, to Outer Mongolia where camels roam and where Genghis Khan puts an arrow up your ass, in the 13th century. We shall ride the time-machine back to present.

This morning, I was being a blur dodo because I got onto my journey without know where exactly Siglap Centre was. Guess what? I ended up flagging down bus service 250, which was formerly 240. I reached there too early and slacked at the Mc Donald's where I was supposed to meet Ian. I waited and quite a few people came in, but they don't look like Ian, though I haven't met him before. That's a stupid thing to say but sometimes you just know it. At 9.01 am, I SMS-ed him and a couple of seconds later, I happened to notice a handphone hung around a queueing guy's neck light up on the screen. He looked around, called back and I signaled to him when my handphone started ringing. Next was discussing about 2 projects and this requirements over a cup of tea. It was a rather quick one done within 40 mins, but I guess that left me with more than 40 days of work. We parted with a handshake and I stoned for a moment before taking my leave.

I didn't know where to go after that. I was quite lost literally and mentally and so strolled down a few bus stops to look for the answer. By the 3rd bus stop, I had no findings and hopped onto a familliar bus service 13 which brought me to Boon Keng before switching to the train to head home.

Off to Jin Xian's place for project.

Trust

Define trust for a confused mind.

Yadah, we were Bored

Okay, this bitch finally decided to function again and so here we go, Ghim's laptop's webcam function. Anyway, Ghim's nickname is 'Ah Bear' so I shall refer him as 'Ah Bear' for the rest of the entry be it he like it or not. You peeps may click on the picture for the enlarged version.

The Majestic Bear says hi to all.

Now, he looks like a regular con-man who cheats old grandmas of their fortune.

Next, he pretended to be studious, thinking that the bigger the spectacles, the more hardworking he is. Wishful thinking.

For one moment, he decided to switch off the function and show his true form; HORNY DEVIL BEAR.

And the next moment, he tried very hard to be an angel by forcing a halo upon his head. Halo and Ah Bear, these two elements contradict. Beware dude, it may just slip down and choke you.

Next up, we'll have something more interesting. It's some animation character that mimics the facial expressions of the person's face while he faces the webcam. Introducing, Ginger Bread Bear. I don't know why did he drop his eyebrows but this skin isn't really responsive to Ah Bear's actions.

This old Ah Pek Wizard tried a kawaii-neh pose where you people usually see in hentai, but this one is a major turn off.

Of all, I like this the most because it's precise with the movements of the eyebrows. I requested Ah Bear to do 'The Rock' pose and there you go, it twitches its eyebrows like him.

Meanwhile...

Me: cannot show middle finger?

Ah Bear: No hand la.

*pauses for a few seconds*

Ah Bear: can, wait I show you.

I thought: Wah, really so precise ah! Can even show fingers!

So while I put all my trust in him and high-technology, he was doing this at the webcam and then turned off the animation function.

*roll eyes*

I think this one, the Shark Bear is quite funny. By default, the eyes of the shark are quite narrow. I told Ah Bear to open his eyes wide and it was reflected on the animation like this.

Unsatisfied by the size of the shark's eyes, I wondered if we could push the limits of it.

Me: Use your hands pull your eyes big big!

Ah Bear: cb la, pain lei.

ROFL, I can't imagine he really did it but couldn't see lah, wasted.

A question here, do you know that the process 'blowjob' existed during pre-historical times? Want see a T-Rex doing it?

I bugged Ah Bear to do an imaginary blow job and he did! The mouth was wide opened with those lethal fangs sprouting out and it was jerking his head to and fro. He must have looked like some erotic idiot behind the monitor!

Alright, that's all. I'm off to bed.

Boo

Hello, the sick boy is here. I'm feeling better already, nose running much lesser, lesser cold sores but just can wait to be completely fine again. So limited these days, can't do sports, can't do my favourite which is eating anything I want. Don't feel that well being out, so gotta rest at home and very sensitive to rain (and unfortunately it still rains now and then.)

Felt bummed after mum reprimanded/nagged at me for getting home late. I kept quiet, because I don't really know if I'm right to argue or should I say, I couldn't argue. She's said that I come home late on Thursdays and weekends which I don't deny. But after a week of school, I just wanted to have a little time to keep in touch friends. And in a week, I also need some proper time with my girl. The problem is that she doesn't know that I've a girlfriend (I don't know whether she'll understand even if she knows) and I don't really know how to break it to her because though she didn't exactly say "NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!" but I can see that she don't really support the idea of me having one, especially after my bro's bad history. I don't know what's next yet but sometimes do still think of it, like what if I tell, how will she react and what if she objects. That's alot to think about besides the pile of undone/half-done projects.

Well, shouldn't let this dampen the mood here too much. Let me entertain you with Ghim's new laptop's webcam. The graphic and motion capture function is quite fun to play with for a while.

... screw this damned system

Bastard blogger doesn't allow me to upload pictures for now. You've my promise that I'll entertain you once the service decides not to be a pain in the ass.

If this Entry sounds Gross, the Medication have probably gotten into my Head

Hi just a short one here.

Last Thursday, I spent $10.20 in a day and was quite proud of it. There's room for improvement still but guess what? I failed to make that good try contiguous and so friday I overshot again after going out with girl. But, AIYAH FRIDAY MAH! GIVE MYSELF A BREAK!

I was sneezing wholetime on Sunday and felt my throat itching. When night fell, it finally developed into some virus-package thing. My nose started running like a fucked tap and signs of throat irritation like greenish phlegm showed. Looking on the bright side, no fever YET, I shouldn't say it too soon because usually it ends up being some 3-in-1 virus package, so bloody convinient... for the doctor I'm visiting.

This morning, I skipped morning lessons to visit the doctor. My choice was the polyclinic as I've learnt to be a little more thrifty since the starting of the year (barely 10 days into the year only though.) I used to visit private clinics but found them a real rip-off. Almost four times the price for the same illness and prescription.Well but if I'm richer, I'll still go the private one instead because it's like buying time. Where by in polyclinic, firstly you wait bloody long for registration, next you wait even bloody longer for consultation, thirdly you wait again to pay up and then finally, you wait to collect your medicine. I'm just bitching, no issues on it since I choose to pay lesser.

I was given an MC but still attended school because there's too much lab lessons on the timetable for today and there's innovation and technopreneurship presentation. School sucked majorly because I was ill and feeling lethargic. Moreover, it was a Monday which regular students hate, as well as cool lecturers. Luckily there was some power down in lab today and the presentation is being postponed to next week. With one man in the team down (Jay Chou), a bad throat of mine and Liang who seemed to be lacking cocaine, we'll get to nowhere.

Anyway, poor Jay Chou. Everytime he returns to his motherland for a vacation, something happens. Social unrest, earthquakes and this time, he was taken away by the army (I believe you should know which army seized him by now,) just like Jinxian the other time, being captured by the Malayan army because they haven't applied for deferment.

I just heard that Jay Chou touched the soil of Singapore awhile ago, a warm welcome if you do read this entry.

Another incident was the plane crash in Indo and the first thing I thought about was Rico. Good Heavens he returned to Singapore in one single piece and condolences to the grieving families of those met with the air hazard. As seen on media, families seemed to be clinging onto the weeny hopes that their families will return or be recovered. I really do hope fpr a miracle.

Sorry for the sidetrack, I'll resume about my day. So throughout the day, I stuffed rolled up tissues up my either nostrils to stop the greenish gooey mess (so sorry for the details.) By the end of the day, I used up more than 2 packets of tissue papers and that reminded me of Weigy, my secondary 1 and 2 classmate whom we all nicked as "Tissue Paper Factory" because he brings a dozen every day and every now and then you see the little 'drain' of his desk infested with his contaminated tissue. Thank God, I think tissue papers are one of best inventions and life-saver. Imagine, people still using handkerchieves. It is too handy that I call it rat poison. Leave it in some corner for a rat to chew on and you'll find it dead later. I believe you've guess that, imagine using a square piece of cloth to settle your entire day's needs, like substituting it with my 2 plus packets of tissue today for instance. Bloody unhygienic. Guess I'll be bringing a tissue box to school tomorrow. It's more cost efficient that way.

So friends who are still using thier classic handkerchieves, do start using tissue papers today!

Whoa, this isn't that short after all,

out.

Another Year Repeats

After working on IMF newspaper cuttings for sometime, my mum adopted their concepts and put it into small scale implementation at home, or rather, on me. My allowance used to be quite flexible (though not infinity like Jay's), and due to being active when I was in the club back then, I somehow made it more flexible and therefore overspent quite some bits. The new plan is to give me a very fixed allowance, half it, store half at home and another half in the bank where I can withdraw from. In any event that I bombed my allowance, I'll then have nothing to survive on till the next month. That's mainly to track how much I spend monthly.

So guess what? Today's the first day of school and it happened to start off so beautifully on a Wednesday, where lessons starts at bloody 8 in the morning, which also mean that I've to rise earlier than the rooster at 6. What's worse, my body clock still follows some European country and so I was awake till 4+ in the morning. I tried lying down but I just stayed awake even with my eyes closed for the next hour or so. Kamal was quite random, he was up later than me and challenged me to a game of MSN dam before I tried to turn in.

I managed to wake at 6 today, but only got out of bed reluctantly by 7. Needless to guess, this jackass cabbed to school again and it was a $10.20 rip-off. In total, I spent $23 today which was a major overspend for the day. Off to think about how I gonna cut down my on my expenses so I don't have to turn to busking at the end of the month.
