Markism; the new world religionDo unto others before they do you 7月16日 My trips before workOk, as of now, work really starts in a week. For the past few weeks, i finally got to experience a mini "Amazing Race" kinda life, the travelling-to-a-few-places-within-a-short-span-of-time experience. Been lucky enough to make it to Sydney, Redang and Hong Kong and experienced the change from winter to summer. So i thought tt i'll juz write abit about each of the places i've been to or i'll feel empty inside. Juz read on and luff, enjoy or juz take notes if u're going to any of these places. Trip 1: Sydney Summary: This place is very metropolitan, which is why i surely won't mind going back again. It was winter when i went there, sort of underestimated the winter and only brought the johns, could barely survive the Ice Age when the wind blows. The Good: Icons like the Opera House, Bridge etc. Scenery at Blue Mountains, Food (really cheap and the servings are meant for the Caucasians, i usually can't finish my food), TravelPass (A$33 for a week of unlimited travel on rail, bus & ferry, a damn essential thing to have), My Hotel, The Crest (in a good location and very underrated = cheap), Bondi Junction (bought so many things in the 1 hr plus i'm there, a pity i spent my last hours in Sydney there), Fish Market (1st time in my life i ate so many types of seafood for lunch, it was my only meal tt day) The Bad: Star City (A Casino, gambling is evil, u can never beat the House unless u're the House. Juz grab the free membership and get the free drinks and really cheap food), Paddington Market (Another overrated and overpriced pasar malam, a suckerspot for tourists) The Ugly: Gamblers at Star City (I saw the Gambler's Conceit Theory in live action, tts how a casino makes money and it was sadistic fun looking at the roulette table being cleared out after every round, even though you wish the money goes into your pocket instead of the hole beside the croupier) Lessons Learnt: Its sometimes better to take the road less travelled, Bondi Junction beats Paddington Market hands down & the standard to living is high and ridiculous; e.g. a bottle of wine is cheaper than fresh fruits or fruit juice. Trip 2: Redang Trip 3: Hong Kong I can say i've really enjoyed the travelling. It'll be quite some time before i can travel and holiday like tt. 6月20日 I'll be backI haven't been writing anything on this space for so long, i'm beginning to wonder if i'll write anything at all. But i probably should, when i get back from my trip as well as when i start working. I'll be away from S'pore on and off this couple of weeks, till 8 July. If there's anything, i'll be available after tt date. For now i have to say tt life after exams and before work is very good, i hope to enjoy it while it lasts and it will last for slightly more than a month. After this period of intensive rest, i probably have to look far ahead into the future before i get to enjoy something like tt again. 3月1日 Freeom... does it exist??I managed to finish the thesis on deadline day itself, so uncharacteristic of me. It should have been done much earlier but due to reasons i dun want to talk about, i ended up finishing with 0 days to spare.
Freedom, i tot to myself when i handed in yesterday. It was only till today that reality sunk in, I still got a whole lot of backlog to clear up. Shit!! I guess the only thing i can do is to suck thumb and do it. I thought that the last sem will be a relaxing 1. I even managed a 1 day week but at last, it was not to be. So now, besides clearing up after my own shit which i din clear, i gotta find a job. Fast!!
I still gotta say this, i even with all the backlog of work to clear, i'm smelling the holidays in the air already. Though June is still ard 3 mths away, that'll hopefully be the final brain draining activity for the year 2007. I'll be entering the workforce as a retard after that lol. Back to work, but luckily, the remaining work is much more managable. 1月31日 The Bz mode is still onBy looking at the frequency of my update, you could guess that i'm still in a bz mode. But 1st, an update since the last time i updated this page. I barely managed to squeeze every damn module of mine onto Monday. I can only describe my timetable for my last semester in sch as sweet.
Not that long ago, i recieved an email which caused my emotions to be confused. It read something like "dear students, bcos of the job fair, the department has agreed to some society's appeal to have the dissertation deadline is extended to the end of the mth." I dunno whether to laugh at the stupid excuse or cry because the department accepted such bullshit.
I've been able to chat with some fellow students recently and for some weird reason, it seems that almost everyone i talked to believed i've finish the thesis. I dunno how they get this idea, but i'm juz gonna finish it asap and pray hard as hell my sup accepts what i wrote.
Back to slogging, my bz mode is still on. I hope that the next time i blog, it'll mean that the Dissertation Express has reached its destination. 1月10日 New Year UpdateIn case you were wondering, my existance is not a myth. I am very much alive but am damn busy with my schwork and thesis to write anything here for eons. So this is my little update and my first post in 2007. You are guessing that i'm blogging bcos i'm not as busy. Thats only true this week, the 1st week of sch where lecturers are kind.
First things first, this is my last semester in NUS and all i get to say is that after almost 4 years plus of being in it, the deficiencies of the system is still present since i got there 3 yrs plus ago. I'm not going to make an extensive bitch about the system, juz short points and you get the bloody idea.
The way things are looking, things aren't gonna get better anytime soon. So i guess to all the noobs entering this particular uni, juz be prepared to suck it all up.
I'm not as free as you think, although i'm planning for a bloody good timetable. I'll let you know if i succeed (just a form of sharing, dun mistake it for gloating or showing off). One of the best combi of mine got scuppered by a mere 15 points when i failed to bid for a module (again fucked up point allocation is to be blamed).
My fav team Chelsea's playing later against Ycomb. Lets hope they win big. I know 2006 Man Utd has been damn good, lets hope 2007 will be Chelsea's. Everything's up for grabs, i hope they win the big one(s) and whatever they can. Considering the misfiring Ukrianian, the position of the Blues now can be considered ok. Lets hope they all start clicking into gear soon. But for 2nite, a midfielder and a rightback at centre defence is what makes me wanna watch the match later.
One thing's for sure, i'm gonna try to write more this year and lets hope we all have a better year ahead. Cheers and good luck mates. We're all gonna need it at some point this year.
