It's 7.30am and I haven't slept the whole night.This is quite a new feeling, the quiet morning. The quiet morning, is quieter than the quiet night. The quiet night lingers on. The quiet morning is fleeting. The quiet night is pretty romantic. The quiet morning, is pretty romantic in its own way too. The air is cool and fresh. Birds are chirping at the window. Yes, birds really start chirping when

This is the coolest song ever with the word "Jesus" in it. (By the way, you can't hear the song on Firefox coz of some missing plugin, but you can hear it on IE. Somebody tell me how to play the song on firefox pls)I think I may even use this song for Dance Night choreo. hurhur.So anyway, what happened to the whole "Romancing Singapore" campaign? I thought they wanted to increase birth rates. Now

I planned my calendar to start my exam mugging NOW. Today.So anyway, I stoned from about 3pm to now, about 1am. I basically read a bit of Freakanomics, read wikipedia, surfed blogs, checked 3 email accounts, did some administrative stuff, glanced at my syllabus to know how much I must study, lie on my bed and not sleep, sit and listen to the radio, shit a bit, peed a few times, washed my face a

There are ants crawling all over my laptop. This is despite my greatest efforts to clean my room regularly. There is deep choking haze that makes faraway buildings look like impending doom. There are shallow people all around who don't seem to appreciate the things they have been given. Nice people, but perhaps nonetheless shallow. There is Windows live messenger disconnecting ever once too often

I'm blogging again!! Coz why bother your friends with your whining and bitching when they've got better things to do with their time.So anyway, today I was deciding what to do for the evening and night. I was free of commitments and didn't exactly have much mood to do any work. So I was thinking if I should call up this bunch of friends I usually go drinking with. But I was feeling wishy washy

I think this blog is almost redundant.Some months ago, someone told me she couldn't sleep, even though she was very, very tired. And she did look tired. She dresses well, very well, she interacts well with people, and she's hot in many people's eyes. She avoids the common clothes even though she would look good in them. She always wears something slightly different. She accessorises well. Big

Same Old Political Blogs.Yesterday, anonymous blogger Sammy slams the PAP. He talk about HDB upgrading. High cost of living. Impossibly high ministerial salaries. Stressful life.

Why do people say she's selling sex?Her words speak of love. Her actions entice you with sex. And you get lost in the euphoria of it all. Utmost love coupled with great spontaneous sex, who wouldn't want that.But its not about love and its not about sex. All she is selling is a lie. A lie that plays on all your childhood idealism. You'll never know when it could be real.For how long could you

This video is tagged as inappropriate by some youtube users. Hahaah!! Nexttime if I start a university, I'll offer a course that consists of Sex, Politics, Law, Economics, Psychology and Philosophy.

Or why people wanna pay 50 cent buy newpaper when they report crap news.Then i realised, actually its coz straits times report crap news.

I just watched The Count of Monte Cristo on vcd. It's a pretty cool show.Set in post Napoleon era, its about a poor common chap who gets framed and unjustly jailed for treason, for well, all his life."God will give me justice" is inscribed on the walls of the stone jail cell, scratched out by the previous inmates who probably rotted and died there.

I really love driving at night. Have I ever mentioned that? The roads are clearer at night. It's a smooth drive. The weather is cool. The music sounds better. All the memories come back, but they do not haunt.

"Talk is cheap, until you hire a lawyer."Today's theme of the day is, talk is cheap. Words alone don't say much. It's everything else that conveys the meaning.Have you ever noticed how some guys can say they love their girlfriend very much, but flirt with every other girl within 2m radius? Why do girls buy that?? Beats me. But one day Im going to try it. Who am I to try and make the world right

Everything ends with a lone drive home.Many things happened today. Some short but heartwarming dialogues. Some surprising social dynamics. Bumping into people in a place where I thought I wouldn't meet anyone. Looks like this is where everyone goes to avoid everyone else.After all this time, I am still just a little boy growing up.

Hi there. Welcome to onewaytrack, the place where you learn about everything you already know. But sometimes you forget. So I am here to remind you.Today, we are going to discuss the phenomenon of Social Proof. It is where some people like to make themselves look valuable by showing others they are surrounded by popular people, or by people who society regards as valuable.The more primitive

This song, Boston by Augustana, is a damn good song. You can hear it play if you are using recen versions of IE. I still donno how to get it to play on Firefox.But don't listen to the song too much. It's bittersweet, mostly bitter, and it can get you indulging in despression. Have you ever felt that? Indulging in depression. It feels good somehow, good in a depressive way. I think sometimes we

This is a good time to put down my thoughts.I am feeling good today. Holidays and having tons of free time to do what I want to do is really doing me good. If you can afford the time, I would suggest everyone do the same. Take time-off for three weeks. Don't be in a hurry to book tours and all that.

How are you feeling today? I'm feeling alright. Not estactic, not despressed, just, alright.There's something I've learnt these few days. It sounds simple but its profound. Brace yourselves.I have learnt that... some things change. yeap. That's it. For ages I have defended the notion righteously that people never change, they just grow to be more clearly themselves.

Here is an excerpt of the lyrics:"Every move you makeEvery vow you breakEvery smile you fakeEvery claim you stakeI'll be watching you"And of course, the original meaning of this song had been bastardised by some black rap remix, "I'll be Missing You".

To gain quick popularity, have a figure of authority (viewed as oppresive) sanction you in a rather unfair manner, and publicise it extensively. Don't publicise it yourself, get a few friends to publicise it for you (or you can pay them). Then you'll be a celebrated hero regardless of your merits. The key is to make the right acquitances, because the people who publicise it for you must be

There's a lot of things wrong with this world.There's the flooding of crap degrees. What's the point of being smart and working hard all your life and getting a good degree in NUS, when a stupid guy with rich parents can get a degree overseas (or some degree from those many institutions popping up that offers University of London certs when you've never been to London), and come back to trump

I take back because I love my country.I take back because I heard my friend, who is staying in a condo, will be getting $700 "Progress Package". If I also get the $700, then I'll be happy for about a week. Imagine, with $700, you

I seldom read the local newspapers, but when I do, I realise I really don't get much out of it.For the past two days, the best thing I've got from the straits times is that borders is having a 25% sale off their books. Other than that, I really don't need to know the secret lives of teens based on a survey of 20 "sexually active teens". What's the point of conducting a survey of 20 people, from a

Woohoo. I've got a new layout. I actually spent about 5-7 hours on this, and most of the difficult stuff I got off blogskins. I'm not very good at this I guess. Well a lot of the time was spent surfing around for inspiration, so that's an excuse for taking so long.A new layout makes me feel refreshed. Sometimes, you need distractions to keep you focussed.

After not having listened to the radio for a pretty long time, recently I just got back to the habit of leaving the radio on all day.The radio is just like it has always been, with some changes here and there. Some DJs are the same, some have changed. Some programmes are the same, some new ones have been introduced. Some new songs, some old songs, but still generally the same kind of songs I've

Hmz.. this blog looks so drab that it seems like nothing much is going on with my life. But many things are going on. You tend to forget to blog when you get too busy. I'm watching and learning.

Every once in a while, when the night is quiet and nobody's online, when you aren't having practices or training, when you are not out partying, when you catch up with things you've left alone in your busy life, you see how things are now, and you get reminded, how far things have moved on. For everyone.For better or for worse. It still worked out fine... didn't it?

With all the campaign against piracy, you would think original dealers would step up their standard a little. I just bought an original game, and they were missing 1 disc. What the bloody fuck. When I bought pirated games in the past (when it was ok for consumers to buy), I never had any problems. Seriously. They are much cheaper, they are located in convenient areas, they even allow exchange if

People always say Chinese or Singaporeans are too practical. Lack romantic flavour. Everything is about money and material things.My father is such a practical man. He won't buy another car (so I can use it more often) coz it spends money. He doesn't nag about talking on the phone too long as long as it doesn't cost us too much. But he nags when you break something because that causes a mess and

Just yesterday I learnt something really good about my friend. Today, I learnt something really bad about someone else. When it's someone you have always looked up to (and kept a somewhat respectable distance), it's really disappointing to find out, hey, he is not what you thought him to be. Of course, he may have done similar things before, but you always turn a blind eye and give him the

Today I just found out a very good friend of mine juz got attached recently. After years of loitering here and there in life, having small directions but no main direction, doing everything he had an opportunity to do, now he's suddenly reading God's Debris and thinking about doing something with his life.

Now I've been thinking about a new layout for this blog for quite some time now. I think since a couple of months ago. And during exams, I was so sure I wanted to do a new layout. Couldn't wait for exams to be over so that I will have time to do a new layout. It's about looking on the outside, what you feel in the inside. So you may feel on the inside like a great, smart, tall, dark, handsome guy

I just got reminded of a fact today.Fact of the day!Singapore Ministers earn about SGD 1,166,844 to SGD 1,458,040 a year. That's about SGD 97,000 to SGD 121,000 per month. Source Link.One of the reasons is so that they won't get corrupted. Ok. That makes sense. By paying them a million a year, they don't need to resort to corruption to get rich. Money won't tempt them so much as they already

When I was young, the media and the schools and basically everything around me taught me a little bit about the history of China. They were isolationist, they were advance in their time but soon lost out to Western powers, and they were, in a way, self-centred. They called the westerners barbarians and treated them as such, when it turned out that the western powers had developed a far stronger

Things have not changed as much as they seem.Mr Brightside sounds different to me now. It sounds softer, not so overwhelming. It sounds faded, like I'm hearing it from a distance. It sounds deeper, coz I can hear the inticracies of the tune that I didn't notice before. It sounds familiar, like visiting an old friend. And it still sounds good. Always one of my favourite songs.

I must have been blind for very long. Oblivious to my surroundings. How can so many things look so different now. So many layers that are clearly visible, if you'd only just take a second look. I miss what I used to see.But different doesn't mean bad. It's like walking through a tinted glass door and being overwhelmed with all the new things I see, that used to be just shadows on a tinted glass.

I've been quite busy lately. But it's a good busy. Not too much to weigh me down, just enough to keep the drive going. I don't have much time to sit by myself and reflect nowadays, but when I do, it's good. Keep the drive going, push ahead. The universe unfolds as it should.

One part of me believe that I am being too idealistic and naive. Some others seem to be able to take everything in their stride. So experienced, so sophisticated and so well-tailored in their art, surely they can handle anything that comes their way.

Yesterday I just saw a performance by KR Aca Pella. Ok, it's not really a formal performance, just a group of people gathering at the dining hall to sing songs while the residents have their dinner. Quite a fresh concept I think. And the first thing I thought about was how many hall points are they getting for it. Occupational hazard man. The second thing I thought of, was how the ACA head felt.

Avril Lavinge does a cover of knocking on heaven's door! Ok, it doesn't sound all that great, but its avril and she's cute, so I like it. Poppish version.And I like Guns n Roses' rock version.

Tonight, I feel like a hanger-on. Everything is going so smoothly without me. I miss the times when I was still a part of it. But when I was a part of it, it seemed like I worked so hard for something that feels like a hollow climax. When I'm not part of it, I feel like I want to be inside.How I wish I still made a difference. I want to be indispensable, to someone.

Today, I bumped into a girl who had been crying the whole day.I don't really know her, though I know her name and we spoke a few times. We have almost nothing in common other then a few common (distant) friends. Quite a playful personality. But she looked weak when I saw her. Weak but friendly, and trusting.And I felt a bit concerned. Not because I have a heart of gold. But I think mainly

So one day, the hall was rather empty. Rather quiet. Weather was cool. Like it rained the whole day. Sky was still grey.I didn't feel like doing anything, so I decided to clean up my room. At least it's a mindless task that needs doing. So I went to look for a magic clean stick. Most of my neighbours were not around. So I went down to the fifth floor, walked along the short wing where most of the

I could help them buy, they could walk to somewhere nearby to buy (like what I always do), or they could basically don't buy tonight coz they would go out tomorrow morning anyway. I told them I would be back late so a car would be good and I

I feel very free tonight. No hall stuff to do. No tutorials for the rest of the week. So actually, I can start mugging and doing my readings early. But I'm too into the momentum of doing things late late at night. Im tired but I don't feel like sleeping. I feel a bit sick. maybe I should've went clubbing. Or something.But my friend just asked me to go rooftop and drink. Alright!

Why do some people only sleep very late at night?Because the day still feels incomplete.

Sometimes I feel like I'm being too softhearted. But sometimes I feel like I'm being too wicked. People who seem like they can take such good care of themselves... sometimes can't. They have laid the mattress to cushion the fall, but when they fall, it still hurts. And it's worse because you could see it coming all along, and all along you play pretend like things are alright. But you know it's

It feels so filthy to know that what seems so clean on the surface is choke full of dirt underneath. Either you sleep among the dirt, or you expose the dirt and thoroughly clean everything up.So that you'd be the dirtiest thing left around.

Juz came back from Club Momo. Waoh. It's really different. The people are older. Which is good and bad. Many look like foreigners. The place feels less pretentious in some way. People are friendly. Music is actually not bad. Not too crowded. Seats are available if you wanna sit and rest. Dance floor is spacious enough for you to move about, yet crowded enough for you to lose yourself.I went with

Some guys like to dish advice on people's blog like they know everything. What the hell man, the people who know what's going on aren't being pressumptious about it, and the people who don't have a clue think they know so much. Surf strangers' blogs, see cute photos, find out she's single, then start dishing advice on her dear safety and well-being. Wazzzzupppp maannnn. If girls in singapore were

I totally don't understand my laptop. Just last night, like 5am, it was working fine. I slept a short 4-5 hrs and when I woke up and switched my laptop on, I couldn't connect to the NUS Domain, everything is 10 times slower, and everything is just screwed up.I went to class and came back. Tried again and it's still screwed up. I tried to use system restore but it failed. I clicked on the "help"

It's time to initiate project get a life!Everytime I remember that law is moving to bukit timah next year, I feel damn sad. Just when I was getting along fine with most ppl in KR. Suddenly, I understand why people like hall life so much. There's (almost) always something for everyone.What is even more admirable, is how everyone deals with awkward situations, bitter affairs and conflicts.

Many things dawned on me today.My friend once told me, for every guy you see working out at the gym, there is a sad story behind their determination. Who would spend hours and loads of money torturing themselves so that they would have a buffer body? People who have failed in the past. People with a sad story to tell. Losers. Losers who want to fight back. Somehow.And maybe this applies to all

I feel like I've just been exhuasted in battle today.I may offend some people in this entry. So be warned. But I'll put it in the most diplomatic way possible.So there I was thinking and thinking about running for KR dance vice chair. I thought about what I wanted to do, how to sell myself, what qualities I had that can prove useful etc. This is probably the hardest I've thought about school

So many things beneath the surface. Things are getting more interesting everyday! Everyone knows and everyone turns the other side. It was like that in the past. It is like that now.On a different note, I was supposed to mug yesterday. But I watched a movie instead, coz I thought today was gonna be a free day so I can mug. But I donno where today went. Whole day I was just hanging around here and

"At the end of the day, Nothing lost, nothing gained. Everything is still the same, At the end of the day." - Tat Hsien I think this is a damn cool poem (if you can call it that). Quick, everyone paste on their msn now!!

Something is going on!Things are different now. People have grown up. Taken more responsibilities. Taken ownership. The music sounds different now. Suddenly, even oldies have a different meaning. Everything has a different meaning. The people who you know are unscurpulous are the same people you have diplomatic respect for. You start to understand the behaviour of those who you used to look down

It's the start of the new sem, and it's time to make my life better than it was. And here is a list of what I have to do.1. To be less phantom in hall. To influence something. Maybe go for dance comm. And make a difference.2. Never to rest on my laurels. Good things don't last forever. That's why they are so precious.3. To be less phantom in law. But what do I really want out of this? I'm not

That's right. Where in Singapore can you find the most number of guys to every girl, excluding the army? Is it Engine Camp? No. Is it School of Computing? No. Welcome to the master of all Weiner Fests (term adopted from a good friend in hall called Lionel Sng Kai Lun) - KR Hall Oreintation.During the pool games, a casual observer might just mistake it for a boy's school camp. One glance and you

These few days in the KR FWOC have been pretty good so far.For one, I feel more close to KR than I probably ever did last year. Suddenly, there's a sense of common understanding among most guys I talk to. Even people who I used to not like seems to have become more matured, more mellowed, more settled and less wanting. Hall gives you a chance to do things you'd probably never think you could do.
