Why not today's afternoon?

I feel like I am falling sick. ):
woke up with a painful throat.
uclers filling up my mouth.
accidental bites on my tongue! *freaking ouch!*

uttering rubbish here.
just woke up from my reluctant 2 hours afternoon nap.
Reluctant to nap and reluctant to awake.
):

hang in there..
as mugging begins..

"You've got to find what you love." Steve Jobs wise words (:

'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says
This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

and nope, i do not idolize him. Joan idolizes no one! :D [expect for herself probably. (:]

the arrogant iPhone!

Lil Sokz - Never Be Replaced male version (:

he wrote these lyrics himself.

baby i love you and i'll never let you go.

I love you,
Yes I do.
I'll be with you as long as you want me to.
Until.
The end.
Of time.

From the day I met you
I knew we'll be together
And now I know I wanna be with you forever
I wanna marry you
And I wanna have your kids

is everything perfect or is perfect everything?

currently repeated in my playlist. (:

Stef, there is a korean part in the front! And i heard the "Opa" word! haha! boyfriend!

enjoy and think of the lyrics. (:

你常常说 我很完美
没人能取代 我给的一切
我就以为 我努力更完美
我们 就会永远
完美并不美
我们多虚伪
你让我的好 变成一种罪
完美并不美
当你爱了谁
我的完美也只是 不完美
后来你说 我太完美
值得更好的 陪在我身边
你不是我 你怎么能体会
你有 多么珍贵
完美并不美
我们多虚伪
你让我的好 变成一种罪
完美并不美
当你爱了谁
我的完美也只是 不完美
完美并不美
我们多虚伪
你让我的好 变成一种罪
完美并不美
当你爱了谁
我的完美成了罪
完美并不美
我们多虚伪
你让我的好 变成一种罪
完美并不美
当你爱了谁
我的完美也只是 不完美

The final one.

The final test to conclude my LAG2201.
Hopefully I can do well in it!

I am just aiming for a B+.
Maintaining my last semester grade.
Though, I have been doing much better for all my tests as compared to the previous semester.
Maybe not oral? I dunno... I thought I did fine, but just don't have a good feeling about the oral results. Just wondering if we would ever get our oral results back. And some feedback too. (:

Oh, and Tampines 1 is finally opened! (:
Of course being a kiasu tampinesian I went down to Tampines 1 on the first day!
My Tampines 1 buddies were Kesleen, Stef and my brother!
Mom came over to join us for dinner after that.

Woohoo! There is a Bakerzin there! (:
Wanted to have dinner there but the place is really too crowded and the restaurant itself is pretty small, not suitable for accommodating that kinda crowd of that day.

There is a really small Sky Terrence. which my brother thinks that many people will go there and pak tor. That place is more of a smokers' heaven to me! eeks la! There was this chao ah beng who spitted on the floor la. What the hell!

I haven seen the indoor swimming pool around though.

Oh, the hottest thing in Tampines 1 is Uniqlo! haha! you need to queue up just to get in! Sounds like an LV shop, but nah, the things inside are affordable, in fact rather cheap, cos they are having sales for ten days! (till 19April!)

Polo Tees for $6.90! Skirts for $4.90! cheap right?
However, i did not have the patience to queue so, too bad. Shall visit it again when the queue is not so long, or when finally there is no need to queue to go in!

Saw quite a few Mediacorp celebrities there too. Many have opened shops in there.
I will be going down to Tampines 1 again tonight with dear (:
haha! bye!

back to studying for that final test. (:

papercut

just got this huge papercut on my hand and i feel faint!
gosh! You don't have any idea how painful it is. Just a small little cut.

Cut below the fingernail of my thumb.
The awful part with all the lines and wrinkles.
Directly on top of it. Shucks!

Nah, it isn't bleeding. Just a deep cut.
Fainting soon.
):

more reasons to faint:
Just completed an extremely difficult HAG for my German!
LAG2201 is getting tough!

CM1161 is killing me. Homework 7! Mine and Jiawei's combined question, Kesleen's question!
Haiz. Log mean temperature. I don't get it! unsolvable equations.

Cm1131 tutorial. Haven finish yet. First question and I am stuck. moved on to the second question, doable but totally no mood to do. guess i will leave it till tomorrow and once again, i am attending another tutorial slot. I had never gone for my own tutorial slot anyway.

Tuition was alright today. Suddenly had to coach two Primary 5 kids. Effectively, I have 4 tuition kiddos?
Payday next Wednesday. (: Looking forward to seeing the increase in my bank account! :D

its a vicious cycle...

Recently many are telling me that snoopy is very old!
Its the oldest cartoon or what la. Thanks to the jacky wu show.

Nevertheless, I still love snoopy!
I love old stuffs (:

Got some results back.
Best being my German Vocab test! :) 95%! Woohoo!
Next vocab test coming up, thursday. will be aiming for around this grade or even higher!
Looking forward to my immersion over there!
Hopefully I will be able to catch up and learn a lot more! :D

Got my CM1121 mid-sem test too.
61/100. Okies la. thought that i would do worse.
Question 2 was a killer for many.
20 marks question. Luckily i got 13. I think that was what saved me.
Test is doable if you study really hard and really understand all that organic mechanisms that are happening.
My tutor is right, It has been proved that for CM1121 people can get full marks!
yeah, my best buddy's best friend got full marks! 100/100!
Unbelievable! Nah, i think it is believable la. Cause its him! and he actually has the cheek to tell me that he haven found his stimulus. What the hell!

Got a B for the most recent labreport.
I think it is largely due to the fengshui of my fumehood.
Fumehood G6 really has lousy fengshui!
Things just don't turn out as it should be.
And i did not do anything wrong at all! How can that be right?
Haiz, hope that this lab report will be better than the previous one.

I believe that it will (: and things will eventually turn out right. (:
The secret, I am loving it. (:

we played paintball! @ Red Dynasty

This is one of those posts that have been neglected!
buried in draft!

28 June 2008
went for paintball with NP instructors.
:D

i did not regret going for paintball!
not at all!
BUT i don't think i will ever want to go back there again!

Haha.
The reason being the after effects are really too painful for me to endure.
Contused wounds sucks!!
I shall post up the pictures of the contused wounds in future!
(attached below!)

Paintball's play area isn't as big as people imagine it to be.
The play area is about the netball court size.
however, your movement area is less than half a netball area size lo.
sounds like its not tiring right?
eh, but if you are like Danial,
flip flip,
roll roll,
duck duck,
then, yeah, it is very tiring.
):
you may even end up vomiting pellets!
HAHA! *inside joke*

A common misconception is that paintball will stain your clothes.
eh, but no leh.
my clothes aren't stained at all. (:

oh ya, and after getting shot,
you will feel numb initially, not pain initially.
*special note, it is initially!
but it gets painful after the game and all that hype and excitement!

Whether or not the fun is worth the pain?
hmm, go try and decide for yourself ba!

Just some of the pictures that i have found! :D
HAHA! discourage the timid ones from going (:

The smallest wound that bleed on the spot!
pain! ):


This one was on my arm. Looks like some strawberry birthmark or love bite or what lor!


The most horrible one on my thigh!
I remember going around showing my friends this wound, and looking at their disgusted expressions!
HAHA! this picture does not do enough justice to how ugly the wound looks!

What the HELL!!!?

oh man!
how can this ever ever happen to me!
):
I am utterly terribly sad now.
My favourite beloved Snoopy
(this one.)

that dear gave me as my birthday present last last year fell into the toiletbowl this morning!

It is all my fault! I shouldn't have bought snoopy into the toilet with me.
Snoopy broke free from my hands and plunged straight into the toilet bowl!
The very toilet bowl with some chocolate look alike pieces of debris in it.

Yucks!
It really stinks like crazy now! ):
No matter how much i soak it, how much incanto dream i spray on it, it is still so so smelly!
Wasted almost half a bottle of incanto dream already. ):

I guess the only solution would be to throw him away. ):
He will have to be thrown away..
Highly unlikely kept.

Half an hour ago, Snoopy was just talking to flabby.
Flabby was complaining how his owner bullied him!
and this year Tigger did not badmouth his owner.

alrights, time for me to stop lying.


Ah
Pek
Really
Interesting

This post is totally random. Blame it on my Labreport. Driving me nuts!

mothers' day shopping (2008)

This post was being saved in draft for such a long time!
I am not sure why it wasn't posted, but I am just going to post it today.
(: I am a random girl (:
i miss outings of this sort. Sorta miss going out with enfant! haven seen her for such a long time already! ):

met up with infant, li yong and stef for some mother day shopping trip.
but i think li yong and i ended up window shopping for ourselves instead.
really miss going out with them.

infant and i in the toilet before dinner(:
we are both in yellow and black.
i am wearing my extremely expensive snoopy shirt.
while she is wearing her extremely expensive skinny jeans.
(although i have this strong dislike against people who wears skinny jeans,
infant's jeans just doesn't make her look too muhd-ish.)

had dinner at food republic.
had this craving for xiao long bao.
but we didn't buy it in the end.
had chicken rice and toast box instead.

liyong trying really hard to cut a small piece of toast into two pieces so that she can share it with infant.

stefanie (:
one of the few pictures that i managed to take of her.

my yuan yang from toast box.
nothing special.
i chose this over the extremely sweet bandung with no milky taste.


infant's guylian chocolates!
our dessert of the night. (:
thanks infant, it was certainly heavenly!

infant with her guylian chocolates.
given to her by a colleague, who she doesn't even knows of!

after dinner, we went to the body shop.
went around body shop trying out all the different weirdo fruity body lotions.
for example, papya lotion.
it makes m,y hands stinks!
argh.. i hate artificial papaya smell! ):
after deciding that we should just stick to the "oldies" of body shop,
i went over to the shelves where the white musk are.
after applying some on my hand,
and sniffing in the overwhelming smell,
i realised that even the white musk stinks.
or probably it is just because my hands still reeked of the papaya scent.
eeks... really cant stand it.

introduced li yong and the rest to the cheap perfumes selling place in lucky plaza,
and they all wanted to go.
thus, li yong and i, having nothing to do in the body shop,
we left for the search of a toilet.
but haha, ended up in isetans to try out some perfume.
took her to anna sui counter and tried out the flight of fancy,
(heard it from yuan han that its nice.)
yup, more of the floral over fruity scent. (:
then, we walked over to the other end of the isetans in search of other nicer perfumes,
however the range of perfumes featured there is pathetic.
like only a few brands there.
don't even have Escada. ):
nevertheless, liyong fell in love with daisy, from marc jacobs.
i just find the bottle pretty.

next, we saw a perfume bottle with the L change the world symbol!
gwen stefani fragrance.

i wonder what is the L symbol doing there?
and who copied who?
or probably it was inspired by..
the one L perfume we saw was in a darker blue background.
if i remember it correctly,
it smells alcoholic. not something i fancy.

after leaving isetans and back to the body shop,
infant and stef are still shopping.
haha. so slow lo! :P
waited for them and rushed down to lucky plaza.
'cause it was quite late already.
):

while jay-walking form wisma to lucky plaza,
stef dropped her shoe in the middle of the road!
and she ran back to take it!
omg!
it was a scary experience.
sort of dejavu.
seems like it happened before somewhere,
somehow,
but i just couldn't remember when.
jay walking is very dangerous.
i dislike jaywalking. ):

after rushing over to lucky plaza.
one of the shops were closed. ):
or rather about to close.
so we inquired about the prices and then proceeded to the other indian shop.

liyong bought her Victoria secret Strawberries and Champagne eau de toilette.
i was quite in love with it the other time i smelled it.
however it is just not my type of smell.
stayed in there looking at other perfumes until the shop was about to close.

left lucky plaza,
walking around aimlessly.
with a craving for starbucks! (:
Dulce de Leche Frappuccino.
liyong kept on harpping on how nice it really is.

went shopping around in tangs.
looking at the bags and wallets and most importantly, the perfumes!
oh and i was rather sad, cos there is no more black colour for th wallet that i'm eyeing on.
no more liao ):
never mind lo.
keep me from spending money.
i am getting poor.

at the perfume section once again!
tangs is really the best place to find perfume!
it offers a wide range of perfume products! (:
went over to the salvatore ferragamo counter!
the auntie auntie promoter, jenny started recommending us all the different promotions that they are having!
stefanie could even tell that i have incanto dream ven before i told them!
she claims that it is my smell. (:

jenny started pampering us with all the incanto series perfumes.
incanto dream.
incanto charms.
incanto shine.
lastly incanto heaven.
incanto heaven is the latest one.
and it got liyong and infant hooked on to it!
haha! liyong was totally in love with it,
she looks as though she is in heaven after smelling it!

jenny started spraying heaven on both infant and liyong.
incanto shine on stef.
with layering- body lotion plus perfume.
incanto dreams on me.

i suggested that we should get one each.
hehe. cos there are four in the incanto series,
however there is one big problem other than the monetary issue-
who should get the heaven?
infant or liyong?
haha.
walked out of tangs smelling extremely pleasant!
(not forgetting that liyong sprayed her strawberries and champagne on us before we entered tangs!)
now, here we are walking out of tangs smelling incanto-ish!
i feel so so pleasant.
there is this sense of joviality in me upon smelling the four of us. (:

hello world (:

Greetings! (:

I passed my MOE Teaching Award interview! (:
They got back to me 2 hours after my interview.
I was pretty shocked!
'Cause I stressed to them that I wanted to take applied chemistry. Not the normal Chemistry.
They were cool about it. (:
Woohoo!

The interview went really well.
There are just certain things in life where stress does not becomes a factor.

Mummy was really delighted to hear about it!
HAHA! She called me straight away to ask where I wanna have dinner for the night.
Many things had been smooth sailing.
Lucky me.
People should count their daily little joys.
Accumulate them and you will be a happy one! :D

Blessings from above gave me the strength to believe, once again, in The Ability to Succeed.
Those sacred four words.


Beginning to slow down my pace.
Though there are lots of upcoming deadlines.
I will be having a test every week from now till recess week.
Slowly adjusting back to my beloved sleeping time.
Recently, sleeping pattern has returned normal.
No more waking up in the middle of the nightsss.
I guess there is a huge burden off my shoulders finally.
No, I am not referring to the MOE Teaching Award.
Something else used to bother me much more.
But now I am glad its over. At least for the time being it is.

Time to start revision.
Less than one month from my first paper.
This time round exams will stretch for one week only.
Starting on the 25th April, ending on the 2nd May.
Thereafter, leaving Singapore from Paris on the 6th May.
Wanna come and send me off?? :D
alrights, I shall be heading to school soon.
Tuesday has officially become a no-school-day for Miss Blur Kesleen.
I have got 2 tutorials.
One hour each. 1pm to 2pm & 6pm to 7pm.
There will be oral test during the latter tutorial.
Viele Glück!

loving it

Sitting here alone with my memories
Staring at a picture of you and me
They say I look fine but if walls could talk
They'd tell you all about how much I break apart
I think we were right but we did it wrong
Ever since you left me I just can't go on
No, I can’t even read the news today
'Cause everything reminds me of yesterday

Empty room
Empty heart
Since you've been gone
I must move on
Empty room

I never realised it could make me cry
To hear the children laugh and play outside
A walk in the park shouldn't be that bad
But everything without you seems to make me sad
I thought we were good, we were meant to be
The way it turned out is still a mystery
No, I can't even read the news today
Reminds me of yesterday

Empty room
Empty heart
Since you've been gone
I must move on
Empty space
Lonely days
My life goes on
Just like the moon

And to sail across the sky alone
Forever trying to find its home
I can't believe I have to say
I don't know where you are today

Empty room
Empty heart
Since you've been gone
I must move on
Empty space
Lonely days
My life goes on
Just like the moon
Empty room
Empty room

if you had noticed, this is the english version of the Theme song for Perfect Cut 2!
(:
nice show. i know that it was a happy ending for everyone.
though i haven finish watching all episodes!

racing against time

When the whole world is against it.
You either choose to do well and survive.
Or do badly and get humiliated.
which is for you?

it isn't easy.
nobody says that its gonna be easy.

I got my immersion to Germany.
going over to University of Stuttgart for 3 weeks for intensive German lessons.
from 18 May till 15 June.
Pretty sure that I got the choice that I want.
maybe i am gonna travel a bit too. (:
planning all that stuff isn't easy.
Air tickets, accommodation, train tickets, etc etc.
Haven done much of the planning, and i am not really sure what i really want.
So much things to be done, so little time to accomplish.
Procrastination no more. Though it always end up as more procrastination.

Everyone wants to do well. who doesn't?
If everyone else puts in double the effort that you put in, do you think you will be able to do better then them?

Time really flies.
Every minute, every second, every nanosecond counts.
I know it very well for myself.
Many things to do. Efficiency is the key.
Efficient without compromising quality, possible?

there are moments that i miss.
things that will never happen again.
I know that i should be looking forward.
so why am i looking back?

Life is complicated.
yet, life still has to go on.

Why are so many people committing suicide or thinking of doing so?
Why do people choose to end it all when life is supposed to go on?
Those who use death as an excuse to escape life are real cowards.

NEW ipod shuffle!

I have always looked down on an ipod shuffle. However, with this new shuffle, which actually TALKS to you! yes, It Talks! hmm. maybe I should stop looking down on it.

oh! but i still have one little problem with it. It looks like a lighter. Those lighters for cool and rich smokers, who smokes cigar instead of smelly things. Not that i am against lighters or anything along those lines, i just feel that there is some similarities between the two.

Apple has seriously decided to go buttons free once again! as you can see, there are no buttons on the shuffle itself. Nothing to press, replaced by something to slide(on top). Sleek move!

Read more about it here. Do watch the guiided tour too! (:
* one thing to note. I assume it that works only with the Apple earphones that are included. No chance of plugging in your favourite Sennheiser ): (Watch the guided tour to learn why.)

The difference between MEN and WOMEN

A woman knows all about her children.
She knows about
dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret
fears and hopes and dreams.

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

how apt. man.. tsk tsk tsk.
