machiavellianism

counting down to the final paper.. (and trying to memorise the debates for whether Leaders are born or made..)

it dawned upon me that i actually had gone on a "grad trip"! when i was in yr1.. and they graduated from poly. some pics from hongkong! (:

no one makes better porridge and egg tarts than hk! but their yuan yang super different from our cham xiu dai! too sweet and diluted for our liking.

STAR ferry

some very steep slope.

in ocean world. jellyfish v cute!sure brings back memories. how we have changed. and yet still remained the same.

i will be

so i was at nec before 306... (the paper was a little strange)

i like the 2nd prize picture! (click to see enlarged)and bet u didnt know rui en, stephanie sun (not her original name? look at the pic), alan tern, ng hui, diana ser, darryl david were from ntu! but i think the list isnt updated cos i went to see the politics section and tsl wasnt there!btw iluma has opened! exteriorally nice, interiorally zzz. esp when its located beside bugis v. how to do business? but! they have cheeky chocolates there!

koped this from my friend's blog. quite funny. btw if u havent alr seen my tagboard, u are highly encouraged to go visit http://boonming.com/ i think he wants to get into top 10.

had 304 today. i shall issue an unqualified opinion. cant wait for amazing race+ah wu+antm laters! ooh and gg is back today!

recently watched the hannah montana movie. loved the songs!

and so while everyone's out celebrating (and even attempting to msg me from the airport!!)... its me and my shadow mugging for the next 7days. then i'll be gone for the next half a month or so. pls dont msg me. my bill will hit sky high. and when i get back, im gonna makeover my room and finally use that fairy light chris got me a million yrs ago, while simultaneously self learn how to play the keyboard (as in piano). then i'll try to keep myself busy (ie. go out everyday - who's up for timbre? - + the cold storage kids run and paint*a*home) before heading to berkelah falls. and go out somemore and looking into the horizon onboard superstar virgo, before i officially become tied down. urgh.

life's a climb, but the view's great.

allegiance

easter..

or ...

清明时节雨纷纷, 路上行人欲断魂。
借问酒家何处有, 牧童遥指杏花村。

when it comes to religion, im conflicted. so many questions, so little answers. heard from somewhere that we should stop questioning cos we can never understand with our limited human minds. but im kind of cynical and i need evidence. i cant just rely on faith alone. and im also torn between nature (roots) and nurture (chij).

anw. nice (and old) song! go listen!

rockferry

please please please go watch the below two video clips! i took great pains to find them to share the cuteness of the baby polar bears, penguins and odd-looking birds with u guys!!!! u can catch the series on channel u 930 documentary "Planet Earth - From Pole to Pole". i was hyperventilating!

clip 1: note the penguins and polar bears.

clip 2: odd looking bird (go click around the 3rd min part!)

i wish i could have gone to the esplanade tonight.

ethanol

its a little unsettling how sunsets can be so orange. i read from somewhere that the more orange a sunset is, the more polluted our planet/the ozone is. the beauty of mother nature. the irony. in other news.....

instant cupcake Take 3. (only cos it was expiring) pour necessary condiments and add an egg. and STIR.
microwave for 1min 20secs. results of not stirring. cos i cldnt rmb if i did the last time or not. :S (it kinda looks cute though) failed attempt despite stirring on hindsight and micro-waving it again. for the record, Take 1 was relatively successful despite adding water instd of egg. Take 2 was better though it didnt raise high enough.

ps. this week's GG is one of the best yet. i actually teared for B. :( when is N and V gonna end. sianx. and amazing race of cos. stupid tammy and victor.

so if you dont have quizzes to mug for, or is the king/queen of procrastination, or have a month's leave and have nothing to keep yourself busy with, try this!

food for thought.
sucks when you have to give up certain things when you have reached a certain milestone in your life. you know its a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, yet at the cost of your future. make your pick. sure you could endeavor, shift things around and make it possible to still participate in those activities. but time and social pressures are such huge obstacles. being able to do whatever you want, whenever has become a luxury.
