The Part of You That No One Sees

You are compassionate, caring, and soothing.
You like other people to depend on you...
In fact, you don't feel right unless you are helping someone out.

Underneath it all, you feel the burden of everyone's problems.
Without your guidance, you fear that many people's worlds would fall apart.
You like to feel in charge, even if it brings you a lot of stress.
What's the Part of You That No One Sees?

18th March, 2007. 11:28 pm. One Year Older, None the Wiser

I am officially 26 years and 3 days old. But I don't feel 26 (after all the stress, many commented I look that age or even older though). Maybe my soul is still stuck somewhere in the past... exactly where, I'm not too sure.

Just to sum up what I did the past few days,

- dyed my hair
- bought a drum set
- signed up for basic theory (finally!!!!! Been putting it off for far too long)
- drank till I puked and had a really really bad hang over (I mean my head was spinning at 4pm the next day)
- stood on a chair (i'm like 6'2 and they made me stand on a chair?) and was made to blow out candles at that ridiculous height
- signed everything on the citibank platinum visa card which I applied for and got just 2 days before my birthday (if you know me, you would know its totally unlike me - I'd usually use my debit card). I'm so going to get a shock when I see the bill next month.

See, isn't that what teenagers do?

15th February, 2007. 10:20 pm. I lost happiness the day I lost you

Today would have been our 3rd year anniversary. But you broke up with me 3 months and 20 days ago.
I have not updated this journal for the longest time and I doubt you will even read this.

But I lost happiness the day I lost you...
and my heart died the day I found out you were with someone else.

Current mood: depressed.

19th April, 2006. 1:03 pm. It's finally over!

I just finished my HYP poster presentation. One year of hard work.. and only one hour to show it off. I hope I did a good job. For those who are interested, my research was actually on blogging (Yes I spent the last one year conducting research on blogs!). I will upload my findings when I have received confirmation of my results. Those who wish to increase blog traffic will find my research very useful.

I hope the evaluators see the value in my research too.

11th March, 2006. 10:01 am. Girls have dirty minds...

The following conversation is proof that girls have dirty minds.

Me: I can't believe that I failed my SBJ by just a few centimeters.
Friend (Girl): Your WHAT??
Me: Standing Board Jump.
Friend (Girl): STANDARD BLOW JOB???
Me: STANDING BOARD JUMP!!
Friend (Girl): *sheepishly* Oh...
Me: *faints*


Disclaimer: I am 100% heterosexual. If you need proof.. *grins*

22nd November, 2005. 1:56 pm. What a wonderful thought...

It's been quite a while. I haven't logged in for what, 2 months? And the first thing that catches my eye after logging in is "My LJ". LoL..

Anyway examinations do things to your imagination. I have 2 papers left and yesterday while I was studying for CS4254 aka Project Management aka Killer Module, a silly thought found its way into my head. I was thinking of the show "Tru Calling" and how Tru always manages to remember every single thing when she re-lives her days.

I was just thinking "What if I had the power to re-live days too?" Then I can be out partying until the day of my paper. When that day comes, I will go unprepared to the examination hall and spend the 2 hours intended for doing the paper memorizing the questions. Then I will ask my friend to say "Help Me!" and relive the day again - Only this time, I will spend the time prior to the paper finding answers to the questions in the paper I was going to sit for. If I didn't have time to finish studying, I will relive the day again and again until I am done.

What a wonderful thought...

6th May, 2005. 3:22 pm. Just for Fun!

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me".
2. I will ask you five questions of my choice, which you will answer here.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will repeat this in your LJ.

The following are naughty questions posed to me by </a></b></a>[info]i_believe:

1) Why contradick?
2) French fries or potato chips? (Kinda obvious*grin*) Ok, Why?
3) What do you do for a living?
4) If you only have a day left on this earth, what will you do for that 24 hours?
5) Who would you consider a phenomenon figure of this century?

And my earnest replies:

1) At least 2 reasons - a) It's a pun on the word Contradict. Don't we contradict ourselves all the time? Changed the t to k to let the smart observer know my gender at first glance. b) Contra: In contrast or opposition to; against. Dick: Jerk. Put those 2 together and what do you get?

2) Fries! But I will take my cousin (potato chips) anytime too! The reason? I'll have to shoot you if you found out! Nah just kidding.. It's a long story. I'm actually working on my biography at the moment.. Stopped at chapter 3 but abit lazy to continue. Drop me your msn and I'll consider sending you the 3 complete chapters. The part about Why Fries? can be found in chapter 2..

3) I inhale semi-polluted air and exhale fresh clean carbon monoxide + other by-products everyday. That's what I do to keep myself alive! But I'm sure you didn't mean for me to answer the question that way =P. Well Seriously, I'm a full time student from the School Of Computing, National University of Slackers, majoring in Information Systems and Minoring in Technopreneurship. I am also a freelance journalist (Don't you find it ironic that I am the one getting interviewed now?), writing on the intricacies of pubs and clubs for an almost defunct online magazine. A writer, a poet and an aspiring entrepreneur - That's me.

4) Are you sure you want to know?? *evil thoughts* LoL.. nah.. just kidding =P

5) Kurt Cobain (1967-1994). Definitely Kurt Cobain! I am not advocating drugs *Insert Propaganda: Kids, stay away from Drugs!* but I truly think he's an extraordinary artiste who touched the lives of many with songs that we can all relate to. He inadvertently kicked off the grunge revolution and the trend of wearing jeans with holes at the knees. Many of today's music is still being influenced by that of his band, Nirvana. His legacy lives on in the hearts and lives of those who have heard and who can relate to his music. I love the lyrics in his songs because not only are they so real, they carry meanings far deeper than what they convey on the surface. Pure ingenuity.

28th April, 2005. 2:06 am. Girls Demystified!

I was studying in the library today with a friend and we were chatting about why girls do the things they do and I think I have got them figured out (or so I think).

Correct me if I'm wrong.

1) Girls want contradictory things. They want a successful man who will treat them like princesses. What they fail to understand is that there are always trade-offs for everything. To be successful, a man has to work hard and spend more time in his career. The more time he spends on his career, the less time he has for her. Girls however want to have it both ways, thus giving the guys a really hard time.

2) Girls don't know what they want. Yes, I can say that this is almost a certainty. They make guys go round and round in circles because in their minds things are always going like that. They are not sure what they really want so they can never get what they are never sure of wanting.

3) Girls like jerks. They run to nice guys for comfort and jerks for "love". Their favorite line is "All guys are jerks/bastards!" and this is ironic because guess who they always run to to complain?

4) Girls want to feel secure. And guess who they run to for "security"?

5) Inside every girl lies a drama queen. A drama queen who thinks everything is wrong when nothing truly is. That explains why you hear thin girls complaining endlessly that they are fat. I actually dared some of those thin girls who tell me they are fat to go tell what they told me to real FAT people. Leaves much to our imagination what's gonna happen.

6) Never step on a girl's tail whether purposely or otherwise. The consequences - you wouldn't wanna know.

7) Girls are petty. They can remember something wrong you did to them 20 years ago - like teasing that they are fat (By the way that is the most sensitive word in their dictionaries) - and will make you pay dearly for it.

8) There's a saying that goes "With love you no longer need bread and butter". This saying, if ever true, is no longer true in today's context. Without money, you can forget about "love".

Disclaimer: This is not a girls-bashing post. Just trying to see how true these observations are. Feel free to rebuke!

On the side note, girls like Linda Liao never seem to have a problem with men.

26th July, 2004. 4:57 pm. Grouping Drama

Just not too long ago, I was frantically searching for a group to do CS3214, a big-scale project for my course. This guy called Steven was supposed to form a group with me but he withdrew because apparently this incredible business opportunity came along and he couldn't resist the temptation of putting his studies on hold to concentrate fully on his start-up. The group that we were supposed to form disintegrated and I was put in the unpromising position of looking for a new group.

Coincidentally, I heard from a friend H that there was another group (Let's just call it Group C) that was looking for people. They had the former approach me to see whether I was interested. I couldn't confirm with them yet because I was still on the lookout and so I told that group "no".

After desperately emailing some people and getting replies such as "I don't need to take that module", "I'm sorry, my group is full" and "We are only looking for foreigners", I decided to tell the group that last approached me (Group C) that I would do the project with them.

You would think that the drama ends here. I did. But that was when things started to happen the way it does in one of those mediacorp television series. Steven suddenly called me after I said yes to Group C and said that there was some problems with his start-up and his application for suspending his studies and that it would be best for him to complete his studies first. He wanted me back in the team.

After confirming that he would not play me out again, I told Group C about the new development and seek their understanding in this issue. Afterall, HM, a friend from group C had told me that she was not too sure whether I could join group C as there may be a China guy who is a friend of one of the members (Y) in that group that may be joining. If he joins, then I would be out. What an unfavorable position I was put in!

Finally HM said she would give me some time to settle the matter. Group C itself needed to check with Y whether his China friend is joining. The problem was that Y was in China and he did not reply to the emails they had sent him. I had to wait until Y came back before I can know whether I was in Group C or not. Steven's side on the other hand had major problems itself. We couldn't persuade the original members of the group we had in mind to come back to the group. They had either found themselves new groups or were not interested to take the module anymore.

Steven told me he would have to confirm with me again too. Either both of us wait for a 3 person group to join or we each find individual groups. Just then, HM called me urgently while I was at the Naxx Era meeting and asked me to give Group C a confirmation immediately. She said that Y will only ask his friend if I did not want to join their group. I called Steven and he told me it was up to me. The fact of the matter is that it would be easier for him to find a 4 person group to join than to wait for a 3 person group to come along. Anyway he was more interested in his start-up than his studies now and he told me he can't promise that he could commit very much to the project.

So I made up my mind.

I told HM that I would join Group C. She said the decision must be final. I told her it had to be, since I was sick of being played out again. Everything should go smoothly from now on right? Wrong!

Just today alone I entertained calls from 4 different groups to join their groups! Wtf! Where were they when I was looking for a group? Now instead of being starved, I was actually spoiled for choice! The temptation was great but I told myself that I had already made a promise to HM so I would keep it and I had to reject the 4 groups. However I did do a good thing in trying to pull 2 groups together.

I don't really know why I am being head-hunted now. It is probably because of the ad I posted in BBS a while ago. But boy do people take bloody long to respond! Then they end up blaming me for finding a group so soon! =x Anyway just so everyone knows, I have no fucking idea how to develop a system with J2EE! And I am currently busy with writing articles for the online magazine. I told HM to understand that my level of commitment would not be 100% but of course I will do my work like everyone else. Let's just hope that everything will turn out fine this semester. I have enough drama trying to find a group..

3rd June, 2004. 1:38 pm. Durians + Alcohol won't kill

I should know. I tried it yesterday.

The hangover is really bad though. My head's spinning and pounding, at the same time. I feel like vomitting but I can't even though I have tried to. The only thing I seem to be able to get out from my system is phlegm. Words can't adequately put justice to the physical torment I'm in now. This is one of the worst hangovers I had, well actually you can say it's the first if I don't remember wrongly. I usually don't have any hangovers at all - I'm the type who loses 'High' easily and quickly. I am beginning to wonder whether the extremely terrible hangover could be due to the durians I had a few hours before I took the corona extra, e33s and long island tea.

Don't worry people, I wasn't trying to kill myself. If I were, there would surely be other better and painless ways right? Not that I'm thinking of any now. Haha okay I'm beginning to sound mental already. Anyway I didn't intentionally go eat durians just before I go clubbing. It just happened. And the durians were so good too. The temptation was just too great. Well I survived to tell about it didn't I? So it can't be all that bad.

Enough about the durians. Moving on to more interesting stuff, I saw </a></b></a>[info]alyssaa's friends- tammy and the butch from her class - at the tickets counter at zouk yesterday. I was looking at tammy and giving her the "Hey I know you from somewhere.. *scratches head* oh yeah you are the girl who always appear in the pictures in alyssaa's lj" look. She just smiled, most likely not being able to decipher that look and I guess she must have thought that I was checking her out or something. Hehe.. Anyway I was looking out to see whether alyssaa was there but I didn't manage to see her. Tammy looks exactly like how she looks in the pics so I guess alyssaa should look the same too, though it's always interesting to see your lj friends in real life, up front and personal. I doubt alyssaa would have the slightest clue who I am though since she has never seen me before. Whatever the case, I thought they only go to zouk on fridays and not on mambo jumbo night, but then again it was a public holiday so.. =P

Zouk was packed yesterday. The music sucked though until maybe around 1+ when the DJ finally started to play some decent songs. I was very high yesterday. Was practically dancing while holding a different drink throughout the night while I was at the steps of the dancefloor. Oh ya.. about the stupid DJ.. He didn't play a single Kylie song while I was there! *curses* I stayed until 2 so he could have played them after I left.. I don't know.. but still.. STUPID DJ! haha..

Ok can't take this anymore.. won't be able to stay coherent..
