Horrible... my bioclock

It's funny how people say i always look very happy during exam time... like i am super not stress.... well, althou i dun LOOK stress, i think sub consciously, the exams are taking a toll on me physically and psychologically...

Last nite, i went to bed at 140am cause i promised myself to sleep before 2am everyday.... and i thought i was quite tired... den around 3am, in a semi-conscious state, i can feel my tonsils and the back of my throat becoming super itchy. My brain and my thoughts were like racing... and my body just started feeling very itchy in general... like a million ants were crawling on my body.... but i just couldn't wake up. ok it sounds quite disgusting but thats the best i can describe it....

in the end i force myself to wake up, go pee and shower, praying that the stupid itch on my body and in the throat will stop... ok the body thing was fine but the throat was just super irritating. In the end i can't sleep after this fiasco so i went to the fridge to get my stupid Carlsberg, and watched the downloaded episode of Amazing race which i promised to watch the following morning before my 1pm paper..... the beer REALLY helped and i'm glad i stocked up in the first place....

i woke up at 10pm instead of 830am which i originally planned cos i didnt plan on studying anymore. When i did wake up, i felt like a truck ran me over and an elephant stomped on me.... it was qutie a terrible night of sleep.... in an attempt to wake myself up, i went to draw money, buy 8days at co-op, buy brunch, ate brunch while watching half an episode of Grey's and consequently went back to sleep somemore... all in a short span of 2 hours, before i woke up again to take my exam.... which went quite well actually.

Argh so yes... it was a horrible nite... i still have 4 more cans of beer which i intend to drink tonight, tmr nite, sunday nite and monday nite when ALL MY FREAKIN PAPERS are over... just nice.

Side note: i think i should be in arts instead of engine cos i ROCKED in all my essay papers. (i hope i dun jinx it)

Number of papers i have taken in my lifetime

Primary School

Primary 1 to 3 (English, Maths, Chinese)
3 subjects x (2SA + 2CA per year) x 3 years = 36

Primary 4 to 5 (English, Maths, Chinese, Science)
4 subjects x (2SA + 2CA per year) x 2 years = 32

Primary 6 (English, Maths, Chinese, Science)
4 subjects x (2CA + 1 prelim + 1 PSLE) x 1 year = 16

Secondary School

Sec 1 to 2 (English, Maths, Science, Geography, History, E. Lit, Higher Chinese)
7 subjects x (2SA + 2CA per year) x 2 years = 56

Sec 3 (English, EMaths, AMaths, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, History, Higher Chinese)
8 subjects x (2SA + 2CA per year) x 1 year + 1 Chinese prelim + 1 OLevels = 34

Sec 4 (English, EMaths, AMaths, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, History, Higher Chinese)
8 subjects x (2CA + 1 prelim + 1 OLevels) = 32

Junior College

J1 (Maths, FMaths, Econs, Physics, GP, Chinese AO)
6 subjects x (2 common tests + 1 mid year + 1 promo) x 1 year = 24

J2 (Maths, FMaths, Econs, Physics, GP)
5 subjects x (2 common tests + 1 mid year + 1 Prelim + A Levels) = 25

University

Considering i have already taken 30 including this sem and 29 either examinable or CA based
29 modules x (1 mid term + 1 Final Paper) = 58

Which makes a grand total of *drum rolls* 313!!! and thats just a conservative estimate since i have 5 test per french module and we all know CAs are basically a cumulative of a couple of small tests.

So please forgive me if i feel jaded and tired and absolutely xian... i think i have earned the right.

UPDATE!!! (part neuf)

1. sorry for the lack of updating. been really busy.... busy with everything but studying. i also dunno what i am busy abt... sleeping, tv, eating, surfing the web for the latest gossip. i know i should be shot dead... i am doing everything BUT studying. which is crazy.... but i feel nothing. i just wanna leave the country. fast.

2. everyone in my wing is either dead, or gone, or non-existent. Chongyunn went back Msia cos he only has 1 (!!! Quel Horreur!!) paper, which is on the 5th. Arthur is like Weimin part 2.... my neighbour yet i know NOTHING abt him.... Nicky is perpetually locked in his room.... Chazz, Chazz is non-existent right now. And our dearest ah Tiong Mr Pengzhi is always wit his gay buddy from 1st floor.... i feel so farking alone.

3. Nus is like majorly catching pple who are downloading movies. HENG ah i only dl drama series.... Huiting, TzuQing, Arthur and Jinxian... all kena fined 200bucks. aHhh copyright infringement!!! i just learnt that in Engineering Professionalism!!! Not all we learn is useless... apparently. if i got caught, i would not be a happy camper.

4. i just made 3 new frens from sheares.... they shouted across on sunday and asked for my name and added me on msn... actually i am only talking to one guy... and he asked me to run with him ard nus just now.... and i did. i died about 4 times.

5. Having beaucoup de problemes with geotechnical engineering.... Coulomb and Rankine should just DIE!!! no, wait, they already did.... althou i was hoping sooner. Incroyable!!!

6. hooked onto Alizee's Moi Lolita... its quite an old song but Mr siwei sent it to me all the way from Carl's Jr (ok, karlsruhe) Germany. And it's tres chic!! me love!!!

ok thats all from me now, dun think i can update this thing till the end of my exams.... which is 4th dec. Everyone, let's pray for Cheong Chye....

Just for fun...

I have been thinking these couple of days... i'm 23. I still have NO idea what i wanna do in future... i dun wanna build some building, only to have it collapse a few days later... i dun wanna be a teacher that ends up on the cover of some newspaper convicted for paedophilia.... and i certainly do not want to do banking related stuff. I guess i could open a restaurant and be the head chef myself... but then again the only thing that i can make is a decent tiramisu.

And then it hit me. I REALLY wanna be a male model! Like seriously! i think i've said this before and i'll say it again. I think i can stomp the runway and create my own wind.



D&G Fall Collection '06



Life of a Supermodel... omg total himbos



And i threw in this commercial because Nicole Kidman is sooo fabulous and i could so be Rodrigo Santoro. hehe right.

Ladies and Gentlemen...

Mr Freaky Ziggy is Officially 23!! WOOT!
Thanks to those who cared!!! I appreciate it very much. Seriously.

below are just some of the celebration that has been goin' on:








Thanks again peeps!

Return of the Boyband (altogether now.... *GASP*)

Return of the Boyband??

Yes... seriously, Return of the Boyband.

I saw online that there was this show called "Return of the Boyband" showing on MTV... and me being me, gasp at the thot of cheesy ballads, synchronised moves and nifty dance steps. "Noooooo. This CAN'T be true" was my first thought.... this, i gotta see.

Apparently, 5 members from 5 boybands of yesteryears decided that they deserved more than their long expired 15 mins of fame and came out with the idea of forming, well, a boyband again. The 5 very thick skinned "boys" are, Bradley from SClub7, Dane Bowers from Another Level, Danny Wood from New Kids on the Block (who is 37 by the way), Lee from Steps and Jimmy Constable from 911. And apparently they have a combined sales of 87 million cds. ya, right. whatever.

Seriously. my goodness. this is like a recipe for instant bad tv right? And after much searching on the internet, this show is actually called "Totally Boyband" in UK and Lee was sacked even before their debut single was out cos of "differences with the band manager"!! LOL!!

Whoever said boybands are back in fashion, is seriously disturbed. And that coming from an ex-backstreetboys/NSYNC/Westlife/Blue-lover, says something dun ya think? WAHAHA. can someone say L for LOSER????

CULTURE NITE '06!

Culture Nite '06 was such a blast!!! It was officially my last dance before taking a 8 month hiatus from dancing.... Awww. Seriously. I miss dancing so much!!! And althou we had some diffculties at the start, but the dance took shape (finally) days before the performance. Wow has it really been 3 years since "Wo de bu dao ni de ai qing"?? Fuck i'm old. And i will be even older by this time next week!! hahaha!!! WOOT!

Thanks to all dancers for giving me the time of my life the past 2 1/2 years. Dancing is my passion and i hope i'll be able to do this while i am in France as well. Join some funky french hip hop club. Wahahaha. (wah piang there's either something wrong with my comp or blogspot seriously needs some maintenance... uploading photos is taking forever now while i'm writing this)

Oh i'm gonna pay for my air tickets tmr already! And since i got 3000bucks from the NUS SEP award, the air ticket is basically like... free!!! and i can even sponser someone to fly over to visit me!! wahhaa, ya right i would.... ORRRR it could mean that my hostel fees are free, OR it could mean that i can eat really good food for 6 months, ORRRRRR i get to buy 100pairs of Birkenstocks there to last me a lifetime!! oooohhh thinking about that makes me all hot and flustered.... heighten anxiety. WHHAHAHA. i am not as worthless as i think i am!!

hmm...

i think i am running out of creative juices.... juices of all kinds. ARGh... i dunno what to write about anymore... if u want me to write about somethings in particular, just let me know. OKKKKK??

on an unrelated note, i love LovE LOVE the weekends, from Friday till like Sundays!! Cos i have latest class at 2pm on friday and that's it, i'm done for the weekend!! i get to majorly NUA in my room, watching all sorts of nonsense that i have downloaded the past week.... (Lost, Nip/Tuck, Brothers & Sisters, Grey's Anatomy, Survivor, Top Model) seriously. so that basically sucks like almost 10 hours away from me.... (and u wonder why i am still single right?...... noooo i'm so married to TV, or my comp for that matter, right now. Not Single, and so not available)

And when i get home, it's more tv!! Discovery Travel and Living is my favourite channel!! Woot! And i love Samantha Brown's Passport ot Europe.... she's my idol. WAHAHA

The only downside is that i have to give tuition to my cousins.... and i absolutely hate that. period.

I hate it when...

1. This blog is about me, whining and whining... i shud start feeling like... myself again

2. I am starting to be like my father.... and wannabe-drunkard. i mean i draw the line between casual drinking and stocking up on beer in my room.... for those "just-in-case" moments when i feel bored and i need a drink or 2 to make me sleep better.... and i just fell into case no. 2.

3. everytime someone sees me, the first thing they say is "are u very stressed?" or "you look tired".... which most of the time i am, but i really dun wanna be that way.

4. its a yearly ritual to be angry at my friend for being such a lazy individual, but is seriously none of my business..... and chose to sleep the one time when i needed to talk to somebody, even thou he is like 2 doors down. which goes to show that he isnt really a very nice fren in the first place.

5. people take me fro granted.

6. So if dun take me for granted, say "i" so i wun hate u....... nah, just kidding, right?

UPDATE!!! (part huit)

1. After a much needed (self-declared) break, i finally got the energy to start to clear away my pile of crap... project deadlines, assignments. ARGH!!!

2. Got my air tickets to Lyon! Leaving Singapore on Air France on the 1st Jan @ 1130pm at nite! can't wait.

3. Sick.... havent been sick in a very long time. Sneezing my nose off, blowing until skin tear (aka puo4 pi2)

4. And to counter point no 3, i drank nearly 5 cups of water the past few hours

5. Which resulted me in pee-ing every 30mins now.... the tap is leaking.... in all sense of the word.

6. I hate it that in a group, people are working towards different goal, people are not working as hard as they should be, at least in my opinion. And i can't assign stuff for them to do cause i know they will give me a crap ass piece of work at the end of the day, so why not i do the bulk of it right from the start, right? Seriously, it is not fun to have dead weight in a team. I am learning that we cannot impose what we want to our team members. We can only hope that they have the conscience not to do a last minute thing and fuck up he whole group. (disclaimer: i am not targeting this at any one person... actually i am)

7. Culture nite is next tuesday!! Can't wait to dance, even thou it is just a small part. Dance is my LIFE!

8. Ate Geylang Beef Hor Fun for supper for the first time.... and boy oh boy did it rock my socks off.

So that's it for now.... pretty boring i know. More interesting things to come come Jan 07!!

It was a damn fun/horrible night...

Oh man i have no idea how to start this post. Basically my whole body is aching all over due to some intense clubbing session at zouk last nite. It was the funnest clubbing i've ever had cos my girl frens and 2 other older guys (whom i met thru one of my girl frens for the first time last nite) paid for drinks and i was basically drinking like a fish... i was jumping around like a insane maniac and i remember i hit some other guy and he diao me on the dance floor. Oh man. But damn was it fun.....

right till the point when i reached hall when i received news that one of the guy, Chris, who was sending some of the girls back, was stopped at a police roadblock.... and horror of all horrors, failed the breathalyser test. He was detained by the police while my girl fren had to call her boyfriend in the middle of the nite to send the strand-ees home. In the end Chris was charged and have to appear in court and may be fined up to 5000bucks... or worse, jailed if convicted....

I was so perturbed by this news that i cant sleep...... i woke up twice, i on-ed my laptop twice and tried talking to some of my frens thru MSN.... and the irony is, no one in Singapore wanted to talk to me even after a desperate plea thru my msn nick (FUCK!! I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TOOOOOOOO!!!) ya. and the first person who came to console me was a fren in California.... i went to dining hall to find step and yunn and weijie to talk. damn terrible. But i am thankful for them when i needed to vent my frustration.... this was the stupiest nite EVER.

FLY ME TO LYON NOW!

See how spastic i look? That's my impersonation of a mad traffic engineer taking traffic readings... farnie rt?? damn retarded la this lab. (hmm i had no idea my finger was sticking out like that...)

Anyway... guess what? I GOT MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER!!! i am so flying away from here is january!! But the nightmare's only just begun.... now i got to source for the cheapest flight to Lyon... and a quick call to Austrian Air (highly recommended by Siwei and only $1170) reveals that 1st week of Jan flights are FULLY booked... no way you say? WAY!! like wat the efff right? Singaporeans too freakin rich!! So now i am a bit worried since the next best alternative is to fly on the 31st dec and arrive on New Year's Day itself to make it in time for my language course on the 8th.... but then, what the hell would be open on NYD???? So screwed up.

And i got to find out abt insurance, i got to do my visa, i got to translate my birth cert in french (no, seriously), i got to proof that i have at lease 500 odd euros in my bank account, i got to find out if i seriously need to open a bank acct since i will only be there 6months... and also internet and sim card.... HELP!!! So many things to do.

I just need to tell myself i need to get out of this place before i really turn into the freak that is shown above. Seriously.

By the way the 1800-send-cc-to-france hotline is still open and will only close next july. do contribute generously!!

UPDATE!!! (part sept)

1. Yes i do apologise to for not writing more in french... there is now a grand total of 2 posts in french despite my promise to write more often... You see, it takes me 1 hour at least to come up with a decent post in french... and time is not a luxury i can afford right now.

2. Speaking of all things French-y.... Why oh why are the pple at INSA Lyon taking such a farking long time to process my application?? I know they have it already and they have been "reviewing" my application since last Wednesday. Like, i mean, i don't have Mohammed as part of my name (no offence), nor do i look stupid on paper (3.6 is not very stupid wat).... so why the hell are they taking so long!!! Sundeep already has his confirmation and i freaking handed in mine earlier!

3. And damn that IRO for not emailing me the results of the Sep award. It has been freakn 3 weeks since Sept 20th!! Do those pple actually work??? XIAOWEN!!! Tell me what are the iro pple doing?? Did i not get it?

4. I do apologise for all the caps.... i am not shouting... just frustrated.

5. i hate it when personal and business matters gets mixed up. I should be more firm when i do things.

6. And i hate it that i am the only one who is mildly interested in getting the interviews done for my projects. Like seriously... only one.

7. The NUS network is seriously majorly screwing my ass up. What the hell is wrong with the freaking connection!!!! Effffffed up man.

8. I hate it that i sound so angsty. where is the cute ol' me???

9. You know what?

10. CALL

11. ME

12. GOD

13. "CALL ME GODDDDDDDDDDDD!!!"

Alma Mater

Went back to Dunman 2 days back with 8 other frens to take a last look at the old campus, take some photos, before it gets demolished to make way for a brand spanking new school equipped with rooftop tennis courts, olympic size track and what nots. Being back at DHS brings back tonnes of happy/sad memories... Has it really been 10 years?

i still remember the 1st day of school, i had my usual anxiety attack and had to go toilet to take a dump before assembly... yes. so typical.

i remember wanting to quit scouts soooo much cos the seniors treated us literally like crap, but ended up being a Rover scout till now (albeit a very inactive one)...

i remember being the one to raise the school flag during assembly every Wednesday (i think) and have the fear of overtaking the Singapore flag and kena scolded by the teachers...

i remember Leon Lai coming to our school for some NKF thingy and basically causing a frenzy in the school.

i remember abiding to ridiculous school rules like sporting a gaudy and 80s side parting and no cross bra straps for girls....

speaking of bras, i remember pulling my frens bra strap and piak-ing her back... my first and last attempt at such an indecent behaviour.

i remember being best friends with chen bonan in sec 1 and 2, falling out with him during sec 3 and 4, and making up just in time before we graduate

yes... such innocence. i miss those days.... those were the best 4 years of my life. seriously.

[Untitled]

Havent really been updating this blog for a while now. Apologies to all loyal readers. No time eh. 5 projects is simply no joke. hmm. what's new on my side.... sent 3 friends off to UK and Germany the pst couple of days... wish its gonna be my turn soon. i need to get out of NUS and be away from all these unhappy things for a while. Be alone. That's what i do best.

My bowel movement has been especially erratic these days as well.... i feel like taking a dump all the time, but somehow only puny pieces of crap comes out. And i feel bloated. (note to self: eat more bananas)

And i realised that it is very difficult to live with my bitch when i see him everyday single minute of my life in hall. i see him every morning i wake up, i take 5 out of 6 modules with him, i eat together with him, he is the last person i see when i sleep... and somehow, i am getting sick of seeing him. And yet i cant live without him.... as in, yeah. Cosmic forces like to play wierd shit one people sometimes. And the fact that i always quarrel with him during project meetings doesnt help at all.

Jumped into the pool today wearing only my shorts and underwear... completely retarded i know. But someone was drowning you see. yes. instant good karma points (kaching!) after all the psychotic bad things i have done thus far. Actually i was contemplating not jumping in cos

1. the drown-ee was like in lane 1
2. I didnt bring extra pair of undies
3. i didnt feel like getting wet... tat time of the month, ya know?

But that bitch of mine pushed me in... so i guess i didnt really have a choice eh. In the end i had to go back underwear-less (eek) and zip up my pants with uber care if i didnt wanna rip my ball sac in two and have a Ben Stiller moment in There's Something about Mary.

Yeah. That's whats happening in life. Cant wait for what's gonna happen tomorrow. Peace out y'all

Drawings of a Warped up child...

People say a child's drawing can say a lot about how he of she is felt at that particular time.... so HORRORS of HORRORS, imagine how shocked for words i was when my mum showed me pictures that she dug out from some old stuff i drew, back when i was in nursery.... goodness. notice the ridiculous abundance of hearts... heart shaped apples, heart shaped beings.... rabbits.... female rabbits. WHAT THE EFFFFF??

OH.MY.WORD. I dun think it takes a rocket scientist to decipher what a deprived child i was.... in need of lurrrrve and attention.... and that pretty much explains why i grew up to be such a warped up, twisted, attention seeking and psychotic individual.

but this, ladies and gentlemen, is proof of what a talented young boy i was/am. NINJA TURTLESSS!! Woot! NICE RIGHT?? i am so impressed with myself i think i am about to tear. I dunno what drawing turtles mean but dang... i may be a this close to seeing a shrink but This, is a work of genius.

Wh-arts this thing about having an arts face?

Someone: eh Cheong Chye, are you from arts?

Me: oh.my.god.... not again. NoooOO i am not from artsssss. i am from engineeee!!

Someone: Huh? You got arts face eh.... you dun look like engineer.

For probably the, oh, say 143rd time, someone asked me if i was in arts fac. Please, for the love of god, let me get this straight once and for all.... just because i take some effort in coordinating my wardrobe, wear funky specs, dun exactly look very smart (hehe, offending hell a lot of pple now), and dun fit into the stereotype of the berms-cum-tshirt-cum-trail slippers, doesn't mean i am from arts fac. i am a true blue engine student who is totally in love with solving trigonometric equations, drawing free body diagrams and playing with soil.

No seriously. i hate doing all those things... who am i kidding.... which makes me wonder... exactly why aren't i in arts in the first place. ta ma de.

sigh anw.... things havent been going well these few days.... flung my first transport quiz... that much further from my 2nd upper. personal life not very good also... hiyah. maybe because my ruling planet Pluto has recently been banished into solar system hell. maybe.... damn u astrologers!!

Yoga Spear... Yoga Teleport... YOGA FLAME!!!

Dhalsim has the power to suspend himself in midair, stretch his extremities in ways beyond the average human, read minds, and sense evil, the latter abilities he uses to locate the sinister M. Bison, and doing his part to aid those who can destroy the villain. He retired from fighting after the second World Warrior tournament, and continued to roam the world helping those in need.

Yeap, that's who i am supposed to be for D&D this year.... and god knows what other extremities i can stretch beyond the average human.... hahaha. COOL RIGHT? haha actually i think i looked more like one of the Shaolin 18 Golden Monks.... oh but everyone said i rocked, so i guess it wasn't that bad. And for a super last minute job, i think my table did fantastically well!! We looked cohesive as a table and we were perhaps the most colourful of the lot! Kudos to the blk for the amazing cosplay and wat not.

Blocking Cammy's attack.... WOOT!

Dhalsim vs Akuma..... Round 1.... FIGHT!!

Morrigan the slut.... hahaha

STREET FIGHTERSssss!

Lord of the Rings.... with a very flop Aragon

Lip service

Since i am no longer taking any french modules, and since i am going to France for SEP, i have decided to practice my french, on a weekly basis, or whenever i feel like it. And what better way to kill my brain cells than to write!! In FRENCH!! All my French amis, help me correct any mistake eh, s’il vous plaît?? (Disclaimer: Portions of the text you are about to read have been altered to achieve comic effect) Here goes:

Ma lèvre est blessée pendant un jeu de frisbee. La blessure est très dégoûtante parce qu'il y a du pus. C’est absolument douloureux et mes amis pensent j’ai le STD…. mais NON!!! Je suis un puceau!! Je n’ai pas les rapports avant… Je suis un bon garçon. Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? Non? Je ne le pense pas aussi.

which basically translates to:

My lip is injured during a game of frisbee. It is very disgusting because there is pus. It is absolutely painful and my friends think i have STD.... But NO!!! I am a virgin!! I have never had sex before....i am a good boy. You want to sleep with me tonight? No? Didn't think so too.

funny right??? I think it's damn farnie!! Kenneth, xiaowen, Ah Ding, please help me correct k? Merci beaucoup!!
