Music: Lady Gaga & Beyonce - Telephone
Mood: Great!
Random Note: Kickass was awesome.
I haven't updated for a fortnight! It's cuz I had been feeling really shitty~ had a terrible throat and an ongoing fever right in the middle of my exams.
You know, when a person is sick...it is really difficult to keep yourself in check on the emotional plane. You just feel so bad physically, and then you start not being able to do other things because you are in pain. Then you may start blamming yourself for not being able to get somethings accomplished (even so far as to why you let yourself fall sick).
Haha...can't say much about it now that I'm actually feeling better, but I do know how a person who is in constant pain feels =/
Things had been tough in school. I am struggling with my finance assignment (I REALLY DUN LIKE FINANCE), and things seem to be catching up on pace i.e. more readings, more content. I am gonna try to devote the next couple of days to work...need to catch up and stay in good condition.
Caught the movie Kickass. It was really awesome!!! As in, the way it was done with a young kid thrashing the mobs and all...violent, yes. Guess I wasn't thinking much about that, but was more on the action and film xD
Had made adjustments to my diet a little...gonna attempt to take more healthy stuff. Haven't been doing my runs nor any form of exercise! Arrrgh...makes me stress just thinking how much there is ahead to do! All the things that need to be completed...
Onward with life!

Positive Reinforcement
Music: None
Mood: Happy
Random Note: Lollipop by Aqua was 1st in 1998 charts
You know when you need to just keep telling yourself to be happy?
I've been doing that all day now...And I'll just tell myself one more time: I'M HAPPY!
That's what it's all about. Later!

Friday Is Here
Music: Ayumi Hamasaki - Glitter
Mood: Lazy & Moltivated
Random Note: The World's Tallest Horse Is On Display Today
And I'm not able to catch it! xD Yup, at the royal easter show Sydney.
(Name's Noddy by the way, or so I was made to assume.)
Spent an entire day yesterday walking around the carnival @ Olympic Park. That place is HUGE! I got photos but I will upload them at a much later time, when I've accumulated like...enough =)
Well maintained and spaced, that used to be the spot for the 2000 Olympics! And now it's just used for other random events (which I have absolutely no idea about). So I only decided to head down to the Easter Show because uncle Leong suggested both X and I go have a look see.
Basically, it feels like one of those 'fun-fair' kinda thing i.e. with rides, exhibitions, food etc. It was fun, relatively - because this was the only thing I kinda planned to do this holiday that was outside of the 'ordinary' workscope.
There were lots of horses, sheep, pigs and cows! Yup, some of you are probably thinking 'I thought you hated animal smell' ^^" Well, it was suprisingly bearable yesterday (though this does not set precedence for any future animal encounters). Somehow I got used to it for that moment haha!
Also, there were the tiny animals like dogs, ducks etc. Oh the dogs I tell you...they are SO CUTE & INTELLIGENT!!! They were demonstrating how dogs are used to keep other animals (like sheep and ducks) in check. Was really amused (closed to fascination) to see them giving instructions to the doggys, and how the doggys just had the power to get the other animals to move accordingly.
Okay, so I also got to get on some rides. It was really really interesting because this is the first time I got to take rides in a carnival (I really dun remember when the last time was, except for the time I brought that giant Tiger home, which I didn't took any rides on neither). It was fun having X along; I'm very moltivated to get him onto more rides into the foreseeable future haha~ Still, I dun have the guts to go onto the scariest looking ones though xD I'll find the courage to eventually...
There were games, and I played like 1...and felt so cheated. Cuz it gave me some really wierd token: Disney's 'CAMP ROCK' Tatoo pack.
Felt like crying and LOL-ing all at the same time =S
Ah...I'll do more details when I get to the photos~ Think it's easier to that way!
So! Today is kinda a good day, weather's fine and all. I still haven't sat down to finish my work, and that will have to happen sometime in the duration of TODAY. I keep finding myself running all over place getting chores done instead...must focus!!! Arrgh...
Well, off to find something else to do! Hope everyone's doing great~ =)

What Happens On A Random Sunday (Actually It's Easter Sunday 2010)!
Music: Chrono Cross - Radical Dreamers
Mood: Great
Random Note: It's getting cold around here FINALLY!
Got up in the morning and fixed myself some breakfast and coffee. I did also catch up on much of the episodes of Chuck SE3 and the current Supernatural SE5!
I love series, they create good momentary periods for you to get your mind off stuff and just learn to live the moment you were in (even imagine how they would actually fit into your life's cliche xD).
I'm actually feeling quite down to earth today. I realised I still haven't done some of the things I've wanted to do, and shall get to it once I am finshed here.
I realised that the human mind is a very powerful tool for one thing: if you keep tellling yourself that you can do it and believe that you are actually doing something, you can get to it. It's like telling yourself a lie over and over again; eventually you'll believe that it's true and things will work out.
Feelings on the other hand, tends to take place on the side of irrationality. It drives a person to perform irrational decisions, and then end up having to face the consequences after that. I know I have a weak spot for such things: friends, family, relationships...it isn't difficult to strike me down if you know me well enough.
Therefore, I'm hoping to work towards becoming a person who sees things as they are and not having to read too much into what the heart feels. Kinda like blocking out what your heart tells you to do, and just doing the bare essentials to keep surviving. Getting too emotionally attached doesn't help (for my record) to get things going and may even end up ruining other people's goals and dreams.
I often wonder what is it that made me who I am. Where is it that I found all that energy and effort to give to people around me? As of now, I am actually proud to say that I do not know and probably do not care what the answer is anymore. At the end of the day, it is my actions that people will see and actually care about. Nothing more, nothing less. Such is the reality of the situation set out in front of me with tons of empirical evidence.
It is easier if I get to come onto a blank screen, and start typing out my mind. I do not have to care if the screen likes what I am thinking, or will my actions actually affect the screen in any other way.
The down side to actually establishing human contact with anyone in hope that they will be able to solve your problems for you, is that you do not really know what is installed for you on the other side of the conversation.
Maybe you'll feel better, maybe not. Then you start adding 'bonus counters' to what is regarded as 'level of closeness of a friend' (least I would like the analogy to work, it still sounds rather stupid typing it out xD). And your preciousness of a relationship becomes relative, summing up to the time, the number of encounters you've had, the amount of benefits you've recieved...when in actual fact, the person in front of you is just merely a friend. Nothing more, nothing less. Could have even been just a person whom happened to be there at the right time.
Oh well, I better get on with life. Later.

Finished A Classic
Music: Ke$sha - Tick Tock
Mood: Okay, but slightly confused
Random Note: I Never Liked Sheep.
I finally finished part of the book that Sonia passed me, entitled Animal Farm.
It is a book that I recommend for anyone who dream of becoming a leader figure in any area of work into the future. The principles reflected in the text is just...astounding.
Maybe I do not read widely enough (when I do usually it's about 'non-fictatious' stuff), but the book stirred lots of my feelings towards integrity and how this is lost along the way when people rise to a position of power.
It's a book I recommend to my friends for very personal reasons:
I might have made it explicit enough that I detest it when people I care about quarrel amongst each other; sometimes (not always), I feel that it is all for the sake of power, right to be 'right' etc.
I do not know...but I'm just saying what I'm feeling right now (which isn't easy considering I'm just typing it out in words and you all lose out on my naggy voice). Maybe sometimes, I just wished people would give way to each other to realise how silly it is to stay mad at one another before it becomes too late~ all for the sake of this 'power' or 'right' or 'control'...whatever it is called xD
Being in 'power' means you have a lot in your responsibility. It is ever so easy to re-define the meaning of what is 'right' or 'wrong' simply because you are in the position to do so.
Change in human traits, when coupled with popular ideas of becoming 'rich & famous', makes us humans one of the scariest creatures ever to thread this planet...
Oh well. Gonna go play WC3 to de-stress. Later!

It's Easter!
Music: Ke$ha - Tick Tock
Mood: Mello, Good =)
Random Note: Notices that he has a lot of food in the apartment xD
That song is super annoying. And that's the way I like it haha~
I am getting the hang of having coffee to 'perk' up my day! It's been pretty useful on days when I just dun feel so good~ Mostly due to lack of proper sleep. Wished my mind could relax a little more sometimes. Hey, I do think better when I am not nervous or worried~
So! Mid semesters are here and I have accomplished absolutely nothing yet. No job, no driver's license, no achievements~ T.T *Sobs* Haha! Okay at least I'm really enjoying my area of study. I realised that there are no accountants within my close click, and I might actually be the first one to get somewhere with this! So yay me =)
Okay that was wierd.
Am lazing around at home today to relax. Partly cuz my head hurts and I think I'm down with a little bit of fever. But, I'm actually doing fine =) So dun panic, uncle here is still surviving (better than your expectations haha)~
We've been having pasta for our meals since the time X posted that photo of the coke we got. Suprisingly, I'm not really getting sick of it yet. Though I do wonder if there is anything wrong with taking pasta all the way...then again, my pal did it for his life @ Melbourne so...xD
I finally got my laziness to step aside and posted my photos of SG onto FB. There are still the airport and farewell ones, which I will get to once I have the chance to (probably late into the evening when the internet is on off-peak).
Been thinking much about where I'm headed in life right now...and I must admit I am not feeling confident (as most people would probably assume). There isn't really anything worth being proud of yet...and I really want to get more stuff done. Wanna be that person whom can provide for others as far as his ability can.
Of course, this is still quite a distance away.
Maybe I should start with doing the laundry first xD Almost out of stuff to wear again...
Well, gonna go get some food now. Maybe I'll update again when I get to. Later.
