For my dear Friends and visitors to this webspace.
I've just been robbed of an hour!
Daylight's saving is back and it means Australia/Melbourne is 3Hours ahead of Spore.*bleah.
Just a quick blog here whilst i'm in the library.
Working hard on my essays, it seems theres no end to researching.
But i won't have the chance to be in this student mode again would i?
Therefore i shall preservere...
Adios!

Relieve Stress.
Endorphins regulate feelings of pain and hunger and are connected to the production of sex hormones.
Oddly enough, they are also generated in response to certain spices such as chili peppers. Chili peppers have thus been used as a treatment for certain types of chronic pain.
According to some reports, laughter also releases endorphins in the brain. So besides widening the blood vessels, suppressing the production of stress hormones and raising antibody levels in the blood, laughing would thus also have an analgesic effect.
Another widely publicized effect of endorphin production is the so-called "runner's high", which is said to occur when strenuous exercise takes a person over a threshold that activates endorphin production. However, some scientists question the mechanisms at work, their research possibly demonstrating the high comes from completing a challenge rather than as a result of exertion.
One theory of why some people find BDSM activities pleasurable is that these activities stimulate endorphins in a controlled way.
Ultraviolet light may also stimulate the release of endorphins.
In 1999, clinical researchers reported that inserting the acupuncture needles into specific body points triggers the production of endorphinsOooh Now i have an alternative to running.mwahhaha =P
Beautiful!
It was a majestic evening. I was looking forward to hitting the library and get some work done. At this point of the day though, i didn't had any idea how i wanted to approach my essay.=(
But check out the great view from my room window.=) (Check it out evvon)
10PM Bailieu Library
Lotsa fellow students, cramming.
1AM Bailieu Library
By this time, there were only a few others left.
In fact i was the last one to leave just now, although i didn't really had alot of output, i was mildly pleased to have seen Kristine during my time in the Library this evening. (okie, for the uninitiated, Kristine is a really tall girl, she got my attention since i saw her last year when i was helping out at the Arts Open house.She resembles Joanne Peh but thats an understatement, anyway..enough of gushing=P)
Yea it was just a 2min exchange of hi, hows work, goodluck and byes, but seeing a familiar face during the odd hours and at the library, thats a comforting moment i sorely needed.
And so i toiled.........
2AM...
245AM....packed up and left for home.(still figuring out how am i gonna argue my essay)
Untill...i don't know how it came about, as i was appreciating the fact that i can still walk back home at this time of the day, having the chance to study and even though i didn't have a car or someone come fetch me to get back home with all the cars zooming past me, i was happy.=)
It was then that i thought of my argument!
Desperate not to lose it in the transition to paper/lappie, i whipped out my 7610 and recorded a voiceclip of my train of thoughts..choo choo!
Beautiful!
Now..to appease the hungry beast within my stomach.kekeke
G'nite people!
PS 加油!

Last Day Of Skool, Possibly!
I recount with great nostagia, the times far and distant, when i first went to school, kindergarden it was, a significant moment in the life of an individual, more so for a child.
The extra effort Ma makes in making sure you have all the things you need for classes, that your uniform is pressed, your shoes are new and the special dishes (i still remember vividly, leeks, Tau Kua, symbolic to the point, i remember their very purpose till today!)that she prepares in anticipation for her child's academic life. (These memories seem like only yesterday, nostagia often comes with served with a drop of tear or a silly smile, and two are what i'm experiencing now.) Thanks Ma.=)
Pa wasn't around much, who else would bring home the bread? Who can fault him for not being there?Yet with every cent that he gives to his child's pocket money, he has every cent less for himself. How greater can a parent's love be? As a child handling money , who would have regarded each cent as a measure of the parent's selfless love for their child?I could only be concerned with getting my BeeBee's and Kaka's.=P (You might be out of shape, But Pa, You're the silent hero, the only one whom could make my childhood's nightmares go away.)
In a few hours, a man tall and old shall embark on possibly the final day of his academic life. Thank You both Pa and Ma for showing me the way.=)
A story, a beginning now end approaching, A journey no less but only starting.
PS, Its amazing, my folks just called.=)

For You,Porkchopper!
KianSeng AKA KS, JayChou, Guster. I miss u dude.
This song goes out to you.=)
"I Hope Tomorrow Is Like Today"
I'm awake, you're still sleeping
The sun will rise like yesterday
Everything that we are now
Is everything we can't let go
Or its gone forever, far away
I hope tomorrow is like today
Don't you go away tomorrow
I don't think I could handle that
You're probably dreaming that you're flying on
Then you start to fall
But then you rise
and shine forever
Don't go away
I hope tomorrow is like today
This song goes out to you.=)

Stone Cold.
I recollect the days and moments when my blogs seem to be mulled over certain events/occurrences/tv shows/observations/etc.(the boring list goes on) which in turn generate my 'insightful 2cents worth' of thoughts that i thereby record on this blog.
mmmm i don't seem to do that anymore do i?
I think i'm changing.Unfortunately i believe i have lost a part of me that others would describe as a sensitive side to me. In this sense, i think i have shortchanged various individuals in the way i would have otherwise treated them previously.
Desensitized+numb.
At times i feel the warm fuzzy sensations of being alive and surrounded by a loved one.
Yet there are moments i feel foreign and detached, wondering what the hell is going on?
Amelia used to call me a cold hard man.
Perhaps i really am.

情形不對!!
Spurs is above the Gunners on the league?
Moments of anguish whilst contained within the confines of academic slavery.
Save me!!!!
I am willing to be shipped back to Singapore as an illegal worker!
Do you hear my calls for help? lolx

U Know u're working hard when u wake up and you don't know whether its morning or late at night, the room is dark and your past week's been waking up to do work, sleeping, eating and the cycle repeats itself again and again. You forget when its day or when its night.

How to Study Like THIS?
I can't help getting distracted by this tee today.
something's beckoning me..老朋友...are u trying to tell me someting?
Its hard to concentrate in class when this is right in front of your face.=P
Surely u know i find u leaving me with a bad taste after all the nice beers i have around me here.Call me a heartless bastard, but sorry, you'll only appeal to whites/blacks/non Sporeans whom have a fetish for Asian stuff. After all, you're just like those SPGs, look good only but when it comes to the crunch, you're miserable in all aspects. Only non Sporeans would find u hot and exotic.
I still prefer my Belgian Blonde Beauty

All things French.
How did it come to be? Separated across two continents, numerous mountains and nations, thousands of miles, leagues of ocean, millions of people. We came together in Melbourne, far away from where we both originally came from.
A hot sunny summer's afternoon, a phonecall to meet up a prospective tenant, a chat and lunch at Thresherman's cafe (do u still remember mark and Sachi?), a tram ride to East Brunswick, sealed a friendship that came to be from across a thousand miles.
How fortunate i have been just to have u two as a short yet memorable part of my life.
When people ask, "How did u guys ended up as friends?"
"It was meant to be, for this life wouldn't have been complete, without having met those whom i have met and befriended."
I miss u two so much.

An Email From France, Fotohunt for childhood friends.
An email from a dear friend in Paris, France.
Silly Mark, always so idealistic in love, i can learn a thing from this man!=P
I wish u luck!
A word to say he wld call me in Melb, i feel so happy just remembering the days we spent together in Melb.
His laughter and image remains in my mind, after all how can i forget someone who is taller then me!!!! haha
Locating my friends in their Kindy days was so easy for me, i found them all!haha.
When i surfed through their friendster last night, i realised how much we have grown and how much i missed all of them!
Argh!
I don't like this feeling of missing someone, but the joy in recollecting our memories and time spent together makes this all worth while!
I love u all!=)

U don't Always Get What U Want,But What U Need.
Wants and Needs, how well can we tell them apart?
Its been a long while since i blogged, was busy with a re-submission of an assignment, yes u heard right, a re-submission.
That only happens when u do a really bad piece of work, why so?Not to worry, i havent been slacking(that much), its a bad case of supersalah interpretation of the question.
I thank my lucky star(s) that i was given a chance to rework on that otherwise miserable paper that i submitted.
My problematic wrist, which hasnt been 100% for awhile now, okie okie, a really long time now, finally got some good Ol' Chinese sinseh action today.
A good mix of accupuncture and tui-na should set it right!
Now, in thinking about all that, do i really want all these things?besides others..to happen?
of course not right!
But how often in life do we get what we really want?
Did i want to come here?on a paltry sponsorship at that?nah, i'm not being ingrateful, i will always appreciate the fact that without the SAF, i wouldnt be here, i'm just relating that i didnt want to study anymore previously, but it was what i needed.
Therefore i am here.Blogging about this rather than cheonging some suah (charging up some mountain/knolls) in my army fatigues.=P hehe
We've all got what we need, rather then what we want, theres a reason for that.
although i may not comprehend why or how, i am sure i would never be caught short of things/material/immaterial, should i really need it.
So..if ever u come across someting and u feel upset that you can't get it in one way or another, why not look at it and think, perhaps i dont really need it after all, bcoz if i do, i would/should be able to get it, wouldn't i?=)
OkOK, fotos coming soon.hehehee =P

I Don't Like Mondays.
Sing along to the tune of The Boomtown Rats...
" Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
I want to shoot
The whole day down."
Sunday was fantastic.
Did the Marafun in the morning, Oktoberfest in the afternoon and dinner at Glenferrie in the evening. Great company too!
Fotos, although limited would be posted up soon.=P
Mad rush through work today...so tell me why?

For You, Min.
This song is really nice, i'm always into sad melacholic songs hor?Haiz.=(
Hang in there Min! ^_^v
Don't take the lyrics too literally, i'm just sharing a really lovely song.
awwwww...
Take care!
我想念去年的冬天 下着雪的那一夜
你给的温柔 紧握的双手 温暖整个寒冬
失去了曾经的拥有 在你离开以后
带走了笑容只留下寂寞 忘了幸福是什么
没有你的夜特别的漆黑 只能闭上双眼去感觉
没有我的夜谁在你身边 代替了那个从前
能不能再听一次你说爱我 回到还在你怀里的时候
能不能让我再一次拥有 曾属于我的温柔
Hang in there Min! ^_^v

Final Sprint
Imagine you're in a race, its the last hundred metres.
You've been trained all this while, to go all out, sprint for the tape, no pain no glory.
It kinda feels that way for me now.
Final stretch, i'm exhausted from the race, mind's a little bit unfocused due to fatigue and sight of the finish line makes you want to slow down rather then go flat out.
Two scenarios.
One, you lunge at the finish line, exhausted, panting and satisfied you've done what you set out to do.
Second, you trip and fall with the finishing line right in front of you, cheers turn into gasps of shock, the pain of humiliation worst off then the bruises on your body.
G'day.

Spilt Coke
Its no use crying over spilt coke...
The holidays have ended, its the final stretch now, the last four weeks/100Metres of the race.
Soon it will be over.
Gonna be pretty busy from now on, there's just no excuse for taking things easy at this point.=)
So forgive me if i can't balance time, all of you will be deep within my heart, its just that right now, i have more important things to work on.=)
The weekend was especially sweet.
A SMS from Spore to tell me that i'm missed.
A Msn Conversation, that my cooking was missed.
A promise from a friend to fetch me when i am home in Dec in her Integra.=P
Where would i be without all of you?
Thank you my friends, esp Genie* (I missed u too!)
