You make me want to kill myself

Despite the fact that I'm having my vacation now, I've been pretty damn busy the past week all thanks to Diva. He has given me the not so honourable task of editing his reports and trust me, you wouldn’t want to be in my shoes.

Anyone might think that editing a report is a simple task but wait until you read Diva’s writings. I don’t want to be mean but it makes you wonder what happened to his 11 years of being educated in English. The last time I edited his report, I nearly killed myself because it was so bad; random paragraphing, incomplete sentences, sentences that don’t make sense at all, punctuation problems, grammar problems, vocab problems, etc.

Despite all the agony I go through editing his works, I’m not going to give up but that’s because I can’t. I’m not the kind of person who goes back on his word so I’m in this until the end. However, if I do kill myself in the near future, you know who to blame.

And Diva, I just want to say GO READ SOME FUCKING GOOD BOOKS!

I got deflowered

I met up with my "entourage" at Bimbo Shitty this afternoon for lunch and Emma taught us how to play bridge when we were done. We were kindda hogging the table at the restaurant but we still had your fries to go and there were other empty tables as well so I didn’t see a need to feel guilty.

So bridge turns out to be the game that I absolutely love because it’s all about manipulation and it can also be kindda suspenseful but don’t ever think that there’s such a thing as a clear winner. Absolutely addictive but way too much to type here to teach you guys.

Headed home a little later than I planned – time really flies when you’re playing bridge – and I changed and headed out immediately to get deflowered – soccer wise.

I was a defender for my team, which was a good decision I guess. I can’t aim for nuts and my kicks have no power so I guess defender’s perfect for me. Just got to get the ball away from the opponents and pass it on to a teammate; sounds easy enough.

I just got this feeling that this isn’t going to be my last time playing. My initial plan was to go there and be a referee or a cheerleader but the plan failed and Plan B wasn’t too bad so I guess why not?

A pink letter

I received a letter from my poly today. It was a pink letter and from what I've heard, it usually means that you failed a course. But the thing is that I've already checked my results and I passed everything. Don't tell me they made a mistake... I knew it wasn't a happy birthday letter either; Temasek Polytechnic don't give a shit about its students' birthdays, it's true.

So I opened it anyway - good news or bad news it had to be opened - and it said "Congratulations on the successful completion of your course of study!"

I'm gonna be graduating in May next year and I can't wait for that! I got a feeling I'll be graduating with Eddy. Whoopee!

And this is specially for Emma cause we all know he's such a great fan of SAMMI CHENG!

Eyebrown, medicure, fleckle

I was just clearing some stuff from my desk when I happened to see a flyer in the heap of junk. I wondered for a while why I'd keep such a thing when I'd normally throw it away on the spot until I read what was on the flyer. Just take note of the stuff in the read boxes.

Just a couple of things I wanted to highlight: eyebrow, not eyebrown; manicure, not medicure; freckle, not fleckle. The rest of the highlighted stuff are just mistakes that ching chongs make but what's up with the Red Cross flag?

Anyway, I want to keep this post short but I want to say thanks to everybody for their birthday wishes. It means a lot that people actually remembered and bothered to wish me. I did nothing for today but the fact that people remembered this date just made my day. By the way, did you hear the birthday siren at 12:05 today? Yeah, it was meant for me.

A walk in a canal

I had a walk in a canal with eXcess today, carrying lanterns and what I referred to as “blue dicks” as we made our way from 1 end of Bishan to the other and then later back again but not in the canal. It was 3 firsts for me: walking in a canal, treading on algae and walking around with a blue light stick dangling from my fly.

Walking in a canal is kindda fun until it gets to the part with algae.1 good advice would be not wearing slippers – the more friction and more material the better – and of course, wear a pair of shoes that you won’t mind dirtying. The algae get really thick at certain parts of the canal and I kindda had to scratch my way into the cement with the sole of my slippers to get more friction and that really did help get my slippers and toes soaked with... algae cum? I’m not really sure what it’s called...

Another thing to look out for while in a canal would be nonsense like broken fluorescent bulbs – again, another good reason to wear shoes you won’t mind spoiling – and the gross stuff that live in the canal, like toads.

But the walk wasn’t quite satisfying because there was this part that led out of the canal that was pitch black and I wanted to go in and explore since we all had our lanterns and blue dicks to light up the place. But we couldn’t go in because it was on the other side of the canal; the stream was too big and too infested with algae for us to cross and it had toads inside as well.

But I have to say that I did enjoy myself and I think if I hadn’t turned up today, I wouldn’t have had gone into that canal.

GOOD NEWS! (for me at least)

I've passed my exams, I've cleared every single subject that I had to clear, which means that I am going to graduate! My grades are shit of course but the most important thing is that school’s over, it’s behind me and I’m gonna get a diploma which also means I didn’t waste anybody’s money.

But the thought of leaving the polytechnic is kindda bittersweet. So much has happened in the past 3 ½ years that a part of me wants to leave but I don’t want to let go of the great memories I’ve had, but still I got to move on with life.

And I got to say that the celebration for Ben’s birthday yesterday was great. It was simple and I’m surprised that he wasn’t expecting anything and how everything fell in place so nicely that we managed to throw him the surprise.

But I cannot end this post without thanking God. I believe he worked a miracle for me and gave me exactly what I prayed for. I’m just so thankful man.

Music from Windows

Timmy showed me this video yesterday when I was at his place and I think it’s über cool!


But on to more important matters, voting for the world’s number 1 DJ of 2008 will be ending in about 20 days and I would want to vote but I’m just torn between Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk and Tiësto.
