Today I went out to buy bread at a supermarket and for some reason the queue was super long. The cashier looks stressed. I used the time to take out my coins and prepared for the correct change (even brought a 5 cent coin). paid the cashier and waited while he counted the coins before passing me the receipt. I walked away and glanced at the receipt.
*eh, something not right leh.
I gave him one dollar less.
My first thought, shit, better siam first before he realize and calls me back.
Also, wah, lucky~ save one dollar.
Then I thought about Earl.
Noooo, this will bring me bad karma.
I turned around and paid the cashier the dollar.
I should buy 4D this weekend.
BattleField A
exams are finally over. i can slack without guilt.
Astro and biz law were alright. By the time I got to maritime physics, I was drained and didn’t study much.
lessons learnt:
Don’t matter whether i have four papers or six, my “endurance” will only last me till the 2nd last paper. freedom is too near after that and i’d have no more mood to study. last paper will be the one least revised. so i shud prepare for the last paper earliest to reduce effects of exam fatigue.
i also learnt it’s possible to compensate bad horrible teaching skills with going thru test paper with the class before the exams. i’m thankful. most clueless module was settled with one night and one morning of memory work.
we got on the bus and was lucky to find empty seats for two. you wore a red adidas sweater and sat on the inside. the bus was single decked, airconed. we were near jurong point. i put my arms around you, like it was the most natural thing to do. you turned to face me. and started singing. the song only consisted of four words. it’s meaning, as always, is cryptic. i’m still left hanging, neither here or there..
i dreamt of you again.
Jerry: It’s half time for the semi annual match between the GL Slackers vs NTU Examiners. What do you think of the Slacker’s performance so far Tom?
Tom: Well as expected, the Slacker is unable to fend off the Examiners’ Maths formation. Maths involved attacks from the “integration of different variables with area of x=y[squared] + random constant=area of circle” flank and the “derive Lorenz curve” flank plus many other never seen before patterns.
J: Yes, the Slacker has always been weak in maths and coach GL even contemplated getting sick leave to avoid this particular formation. Even after spending most of the time studying the formations, the Slacker still catch no ball with maths. The good news is this particular formation was tough on all teams so the Slacker should be able to scrap through.
T: Next the Slacker had to think of ways to stop the Examiners’ star player Econs. Coach GL studied the past year papers videos of past year matches for any weakness but apparently that did not help much. Econs was still able to slip thru the Slacker’s defences for a slam dunk.
J: Good thing the Slackers were able to obtain insider information for the tactics of Inco Terms. Examiners’ attacks were as predicted and most advances were stopped. The Slackers even managed a lay up. Way to go!
T: Yes but it’s still too early to see how the match will end. Coach GL will have to figure out how to handle the later half but for now it’s also a short break before waging war again.
to differentiate good and evil,
integrate humility and sincerity,
and summation of blessings.

i’d need to study hard to break them, but at present rate my exams are bound to be screwed.
okay. backlog of stuff.
meet cy on friday. she’s a flight attendant now. wow. took me a while to find the word to describe her and i guess the best word will be class; a level of maturity. it’s nice to see her again, and her hk accented english was.. interesting. haha
sat and sun i was chasing yanzi. went mediacorp to see her live recording of a tv programme on sat and sun was her album autograph session. the fc ppl were surprised when they found out i didnt win the yanzi joke contest. well.. no fate la. her autograph session was nice. cant shake hands but yz wud look at you after signing. that alone is worth the queue. so didnt study over the weekend. i did go to sch on sat morning with the intention to study but i forgot my locker keys. so end up printing some notes and returned home. i did bring my econs textbook to the autograph session wanting to study while waiting for the session to start but didnt read much in the end.
my exams are so screwed.
你的微笑 编织了每一个奇妙~
such a wonderful line from F.I.R.’s 你的微笑.
i cant afford be infatuated.
i will not forget the Hand and the Jaw.
One day, i will break them.
i should be in maths lecture.
i should be studying for my maths quiz.
i was studying maths in the library. switched my mp3 player to fm mode; the morning show was quite interesting. the djs were talking about top songs/ bands/ male/ female singers for the first quarter.
they mentioned about yanzi and when she’d be coming to sg to promote her new album. they also mentioned about the “make yanzi laugh” contest which i already know of. what i didnt know was they were accepting calls for the contest! cos i thought it was via email. when the dj say it’s time to start calling them, i took out my phone and dialled just for the fun of it. “Number busy”. Expected. Pressed the button for retry and waited. not getting thru.. i cancelled the retry and was about to go back to my integration. just dial the number again, i thought. 66911933.. it connected!
ring… ring…
Hi! Are you calling in to tell us a joke?
i was shocked! first time i got thru!! i quickly replied yes. The dj asked if i was ready. Don’t think i ever will be! i thought but i stalled by asking him, “I’m supposed to come up with a joke that includes a song title from yanzi’s new album right?” “Yes”. I gathered my nerves and told a joke i heard from a friend on the way to sch. i heard the joke before and she refreshed my memory. fated man. i started telling. i was blurdy nervous and it got worse every second as the realization hit me bit by bit that i’m speaking to a radio dj and it’d be aired all over singapore and i better not screw up and i’m in the library so better not speak too loudly and not chew my words and not choke!!! my pauses seem to me like eternity. thoughts flashing in my mind. i hope i get the story out. i pray they find it funny.
when i was done the dj did not laugh. that’s a bad sign. i was told to hold while my previously recorded joke was played on air. i held my phone to my left ear and while my right ear listened to the radio from my earphone. not terribly bad, as least not as bad as how much i thought i screwed up in my mind. the lady dj laughed, but it might be out of courtesy. 
but still i hope to win. wish me luck~~
长长的路的尽头是一片
满是星星的夜空
这一趟华丽的冒险没有
真实的你陪我走
长长的时间的旅程充满
太多未知的诱惑
说不清对你承诺过的一切
还有多少没有实现过
不愿放开手
不愿让你走
疯狂的梦没有了你
还有什么用
不愿放开手
不愿让你走
不愿眼睁睁的看你
走出我的生活
华丽的冒险 – 陳綺貞
missing the illusion..
