hahaha... perhaps some of u might have ald known, but i kinda slow so i only knew this like yesterday...
actually found out the real meaning behind the C in the Kopi-C or Teh-C dat we always order, or at least i order one la.. hahaha... it's actually because of the brand of the evaporated milk "Carnation" dat led to this short form... hahaha... wonderful right? for those who dun drink tea or coffee, it's cos instead of adding condensed milk like normally, ppl want evaporated milk and sugar instead... hence this term surfaced... hahaha... like many others too!!
one classic would be "tak kiu" which basically means Milo for those who dunno.. hahah... cos Milo has always been related to soccer on their advertisements outside of their cans and all... hahaha.... =)
learnt something interesting and new again!! hahha... dat's why i say it's always fun to attend my elective lectures...
so next time u go order a drink u can try calling for Kopi-Carnation instead ba!! hahaha!! =P

Me and I??
hahaha.... really really enjoying my elective this sem... anyone wanna take, if u're in NTU, go look up HS816: Understanding Singapore Society.. hahaha... damn funny.. provided it's the same lecturer la..
the biker has a name today, cos he finally decided to ask me in class and made me answer his question.. hahaha... "Who are you?"
interesting question right? got so many ways to answer this question... cos today we were talking abt pop culture and consumerism.. and we were talking abt the "Me" and the "I" in all of us...
"me" being the self that we wanna portray to the significant others in our lives.. and "i" simply being a reaction to the "me".... hahaha..... to put it simply, there's no true self in all of us.. and for those who have foolishly been thinking that there is a true self in us, one which is not affected by how others feel, dream on man... it's not gonna happen.. hahaha....
simply because subconsciously, we're always thinking abt how others will think of us, which eventually shapes how we behave and who we are...take some time to think deep abt wat u've been doing all these years... hahaha.... it does make sense!! =P
well, i actually went to catch High School Musical 3 for the second time the next night after i watch it first time.. hahaha... caught quite a few details i didn't notice when i first watched it... hahaha... crazy but since i nv pay for it so nvm lor.. hehehe...

High School Musical 3!
many will think i'm not the type to watch it.. WRONG!! hahaha.. i've been watching it since it's first season lor.. hahaha... i just love musicals!! from the classic Sound of Music and the original King and I.. aahhhh.... shiok...
well, the third installation feels good.. but no deep impression songs like the last two seasons.. however, the choreography is terrific!! of course there's the usual lover boy and girl dat superficial ppl will go for lor...
so if u're a fan of it, grab a few good frens who will scream and lol with u and go get the tickets ba!! =)

Listening , Learning, Sharing...
well, i guess not a lot of ppl will agree, but personally, i've found a purpose in my life here this time around... in fact many ppl are here to do jus dat... but probably in a different manner ba...
i'm here to spread the love!! hahaa...
nope... it's not jus BGR love dumb dumb... it's greater love... or wat we would normally term as 大爱... hahha... Chim right? wow!! nv knew i had it in me sia.. until i really took a close look reflecting back in my life, looking at wat i've been doing and everything then i realised wat it was all abt... shall not list them down cos it'll take a long long time sia... haha.... (buay hiao bai right?) hehehe....
but then again, i ask myself in the usual conflicting manner again.. where do i find all this big love coming from within me? hahaha... i see it as something dat everybody has, but in me, i found it earlier and decided to share it... many ppl use the love they have within them for different purposes, some use it for themselves, some use it for ppl they care for, while others like me, i share it with anyone who needs it and comes along the way...
dat's why many will think dat i'm always not caring for myself, but in fact, i am... cos seeing everyone grow, become happier, seeing things clearer in their minds, and learning their lessons in life is something dat fills my heart with more happiness than i can get from anywhere or anyone else...
then again, i'm only human...i too have my days of loneliness, and it sucks, but well, we learn to live with it... =P
this resulted in a shift in focus.. hahaha... i've so much to give everyone, but always so little for myself... hahaha... so it's high time to change it liao...
Yes... my life focus has begun to shift once more... working in secret to start making some changes liao... letting my inner self show more.. but dun worry, i'll still be around to continue listening, learning and sharing cos dat's still wat i do best..
cos dat's the true me... =)

biker...
i'm now officially known as the biker in my socio lecture liao... many thanks to my lecturer who somehow miraculously managed to guess i was a rider out of the blue and eventually remembered me as that... hahaha...
esp when i returned to the LT after my break a little later and he declared to the entire class that "ok, the biker's back, so we may begin watching the show.." to start showing the video he wanted to play after the break... hahaha.... everyone turned around to look la.. hahaha.. so funny!! some more i was like seated in the middle of the class there.. hahaha...
but i always love attending this module's lectures... cos they are simply always so interesting and i'm always learning something new every week, be it perceiving things in a different way or gaining some new knowledge that i've not known before... hahaha...
will probably ask wat else he still teach... might jus join in his classes next sem too!! since i still got 2 more to clear.. hahaha... =)

harbour again!!
hahaha... it's the name of this template in case some dunno.. hahaha... jus changed it today cos the black from the previous one is seriously putting my mood down a little though i love the darker background actually.. hahaha...
well, in typical fashion, cos i'm still too lazy to find newer ones, i'm sticking to the standard ones provided lor.. hehehe... dun blame me k? wait till i am better able to manage my time then see how la..
how ironic... the guy who's supposed to be able to manage his time best in everyone's eyes actually in fact has a time management problem.. hahaha...
ok.. gotta go le.. still need to get some more things done while i'm still in the feel like working mode.. hahaha...
but i'm so excited today, cos i found someone who wants to go backpacking with me after graduation!! yay!! hopefully the trip will work out la.. =) more updates as they come.. hahaha...

the missing piece....
now that the air is clear, n my mind is cleared too, i can finally really embark on my journey to finding the self i lost to premature maturity back in Secondary school...
my life experiences have made me who i am today, and because of many circumstances, i've lost a lot of chances to truly do wat i've always wanted to do on my own... even though it's even more difficult to get away now, i still feel it's time i did it for me...
there are so many things i wanna do, but i know for sure one thing stands out right now for me.. that i can achieve it asap.. as for the others, i will accomplish them when i have the means, with the earliest maybe starting from graduation...
it's always nice to be driven around sometimes, even as pillion on the bike, and jus having my role switched.. feels really wonderful.. though i dun get that often.. perhaps dat makes it all the more wonderful doesn't it? hahaha....
i also know why i dun have blood related younger siblings liao.. cos then i wldn't have had the chance to have found a great fren, a wonderful sister n loads of other younger frens who nv fail to add colour to my life being a big brother figure to them... =) n i'm really thankful for all that.. nv regretted a moment at all.. nv will... =) need to slp.. too tired liao.. all else can wait, my slp cannot.. hahaha... =P
did i neglect to mention dat the sunset along Changi Coast Road is jus magical too? u shd all go take a look at it if u have the time.. hahaa... =)

miraculous?
the formula :
- a good load of harsh exchange of smses waking me up
- a spontaneous outing for food
- a wonderful movie with evergreen songs...
my mood has since miraculously lifted considerably.. though still sceptical, but i'm hopeful dat this will be the beginning of the end of my emo monster within... i really desperately need to get it out of my system sia... jus like the many other issues i have within (that can be disclosed that is)..
i need to take up the right perspectives that i know will be good for me le.. have to be nicer to myself too..
i can't be more thankful than i am right now.. finally noticing the angel who'd been around me but i chose to keep away for irrational and stupid reasons...

not good.....
riding to school has become a mundane task... and when i ride with no feelings or emotions, i jus know dat something's not right...
felt like asking ppl out this week, but then dunno where to go.. in the end become dun feel like gg anywhere liao...
i'm jus thankful i dun study alone in school.. for the guys keep me sane.. but i still go around stoned the whole time i'm not talking.. i find myself scary..
apologies first if i dun see u while walking in school.. probably too stoned to be bothered with anything else..
it's gonna be a long week ahead man...

water water everywhere......
hahha... went for some pool time today... like finally lor!! it's been a long time since i last swam.. being around the one element dat takes all worries off my mind and body... macham like diffusion like dat..
sad thing today is dat somehow after i climb out of the pool everything got sucked back into my head again.. hahaha... but it still felt good anyhows... jus dat it didn't last for very long.. haiz...
i'm always good at listening to others, but nobody around me ever realises or seems to know how bad my internal mental situation really is in fact.. perhaps my masking skills too good ba.. hahaha... and to be someone i can really confide everything in is not a feat accomplished by anyone as yet... not even my best fren or anyone... because simply nobody knows.. or even if they know, they dunno wat to do with me.. cos i'm jus like dat crab with a super hard shell made of steel... takes too much effort to crack.. hahaha... in the end ppl who try get tired or hurt in the process, driving them away...
u guys probably can't even imagine how badly it sucks to be feeling wat i'm feeling right now man... it jus sucks terribly..

Yay!! i did well for my Understanding Singapore Society module quiz! but i S/Ued the module liao.. plus the exam is jam packed in between my core modules with no days to spare to read. i'm thinking it might be a good choice i S/Ued it.. hahaha... but it still feels good.. though confusing cos i now wonder if i've been studying the wrong course all along??? hahaha...
now studying for nano quiz... as i term it in my msn.. the smallest quiz, but with the most amount of information to remember lor.. sianz...
