the lastsplash

One week into the starting of this blog, I am gonna complain about school for the second time. =B I was feeling suffocated just now. My chest was tight. Tummy ached. After sharing my feelings with my girl, I realised that I was indeed stressed. Sunday is coming to an end, more importantly, the mid-term break is coming to an end, and I have not finished the things I set out to do. Although this semester seems to be the slackiest of all sems, just 3 prescribed and 1 core, the work seems endless. one sw testing lab report every fortnight, each require at least 5-6 hours of effort to compile. And then there's robotics lab report due soon, i never even used matlab before. ha ha. Never was I so hardworking, stay in the library till it closes for almost 4 days per week. But that's still not enough. I am still behind in revision for every subject. Then there is also FYP, despite spending all my time after lesson in lab, I still can't finish it yet. Report is due 2 weeks. How? And t...

It finally rained. Much to everyone's relief I guess. Yes, I heard it all, the complains bout the recent heat waves. Now that I am home on a rainy saturday afternoon, whats better than taking a nap right? ha ha. I decided to compile a list of my all-time favourite tracks by local acts (ie. singapore homegrown bands). Music is like hyperlinks to your blog entries, listening a song will remind u a particular piece of memory. For me i glad they shared my depressing times by expressing my feelings in the songs. Of cuz there are also happy ones. Somehow those with local flavours feel closest to my heart. I know u can hardly find their albums in the stores anymore. So I don't think they'll mind me sharing their tracks online for more ears to appreciate and for them to relive their glory days. (Incidentally, the economics essay i wrote was titled "economics of file sharing" =b). I've made the tracks into .wma format with lower bit rate cuz I don't have much webs...

Considering what I have done so far this week, it had been a rather productive day. After more than 20 hours of sitting in front of the laptop (with short breaks occasionally), I finally managed to finished one >2000-word economics essay and a 65-page software testing lab report. Yes, 65-page. Isn't that scary? All those appendice. ho ho ho. -laughs like rukia- Got a feelin' I took those assignments too seriously. The priority task right now should be completing the fyp and the report which I have hardly touched since typing the chapter one for my interim submission (Refer to blog entry 1, warned yer 'bout this coming). But I ain't really complaining, afterall two assignments down means two less worries. I guess blogging can really take some stress off the things I have to do, like what most people say on their blogs. In fact, anything else other than work is relaxing. ha ha. By the way, I am offering 21 different hats, for links to your blogs. What do I mean? Pleas...

Its 元宵节 (those who can't read chinese character, those words read yuan xiao jie ) today, also known as the lunar valentine's day . For those who didn't know, here's a bit of culture facts. In ancient China, its their culture for single guys and girls to mingle around, get to know each other, under the moonlight and lanterns on the 15th day of Lunar New Year - romantic? Of cuz its also a day when family get together, and enjoy some glutinous balls. (there's always some sorta food associated with each event isn't it? Yum.) Surprise surprise, I got my second V'day present of the month yesterday. No, its not from another girl. Its from my same girl for the lunar valentine's day. Its really sweet of her. A box of hershey kisses in a red box telling me I am treasured, and a lil' note in chinese characters (effort++). I will keep the details of the note to myself, but below is a picture of the gift. Wanted to blog it down to show my appreciation of m...

I wanted to pretend this isn't my first entry. But it is. Let me throw in some excuses here for the slow-start *plenty-of-excuses*. Ha, the fact is, I tried online diary before (my diaryland account is still active), but I lost the need of expressing myself online after awhile. Switched to emailing my nonsense and sorrows to a selected few [you know who you are (=], and some real-life listening ears [you know who you are too =b]. And everyone knows that in the first entry you gotta explain why you wanted to start a blog yadayadayada-blahblahblah that sorta thing - in this case "restarting" one. So here's the intro-for-my-blog : I can't find a good reason for starting this blog. Here's a lame one: Its the mid-term break. Maybe I just wanted to do anything else other than my fyp (warning: future entries may contain lotsa grumbling on this) and any of the objectives I set for the week (eg. finish robotics revision by Tuesday, gotta be kidding myself =b). Life...
