difference

i would like to think of our differences
as that of genius and insanity
rather than that of black and white

we yearn for the smallest divide

and the difference between genius and insanity
is but a thin line.

posh bus

here's something that got me really excited
ignorance, apparently, is really bliss.

bus 107M from marina to kovan.



the interior of the bus!



what a nice and posh bus.



they also had these really cool seats
with a little table you can do work on.



and here's my darling,
carrying all our barang barang
while her sua-ku (ignorant) bf
gets all excited about the bus.

(sorry lah dear, i know its damn heavy)

but the bus is really first class!

the bus also has free bluetooth music downloads
and free wireless broadband!

excuse my ignorance. =)

expectations

society has its expectations.
individuals have their own.

it is human to expect more from
those in positions of power,
those close to us,
those we love,
those who love us,
and those we choose to trust.

but they're human after all.

i am not implying that we should
lower our standards and expectations.

but with great expectations,
come great disappointment.

we should be ready to face that.

爱的定义

我们今天所拥有的一切
是不是有一天 都会像花一样枯萎？

que sera sera
whatever will be, will be.

nothing in life is for certain.

我们能做的
就是珍惜在一起的每一天

爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈。
爱是不嫉妒。爱是不自夸。
不张狂。不作害羞的事。
不求自己的益处。不轻易发怒。
不计算人的恶。不喜欢不义。
只喜欢真理。凡事包容。
凡事相信。凡事盼望。凡事忍耐。

爱是永不止息。

one last song to sing

thomas is just really tired.
and really lazy.

this blog is comatose.
like a flower wilthering away quietly.

but let's hope that the next spring

we'll see again
the flower that wilt and died
blooming
into the glory of the spring that has past.

ixus eight seven oh

bought a canon ixus 870!
in a nice silver powder coat.

gonna take it out to shoot some,
and then some.

=)

absence

i visited the place where we last met.
nothing was changed, the gardens were well-tended,
the fountains sprayed their usual steady jet;
there was no sign that anything had ended
and nothing to instruct me to forget.

the thoughtless birds that shook out of the trees,
singing an ecstasy i could not share,
played cunning in my thoughts. surely in these
pleasures there could not be a pain to bear
or any discord shake the level breeze.

it was because the place was just the same
that made your absence seem a savage force,
for under all the gentleness there came
an earthquake tremor: fountain, birds and grass
were shaken by my thinking of your name.

sundaysuppermadness

i just ordered macs.
woo hoo!

calorie stuffer, here we go.

bmt = basic mugger training

i'm going mad! =x

my life has turned upside down -
many thanks to the endless assignments.

sleep, which is so so so precious to me,
is now an even more scarce and sacred affair.

smugging (smu + mugging) takes more time
than the actual class do, which is alot.

okay i guess my next 4 years of posts
will comprise mainly of this,
so to save some attention for my future rants,

some updates..

i've done this very funny video thing.
i'll post the youtube link when i'm done with it.

i've gone for dinner at outback steakhouse
and bakerzin with el - pics on facebook.

i've been doing this community environment project
with a vey cool group of people - pics on facebook.

i'm attending some really funky
valyrian thinking workshop.

i have some very amazing friends in school.

i miss my poly friends..
for now, especially missing clay and jamie.

i wish i could spend more time with my folks,
but even when i'm home, i'm typing away on sth.

i want to spend more time at church
and with my church friends.

i want to have more determination to pray,
to exercise, to eat less and spend less.

i've just bought a bluetooth mouse.

i'm going to learn french soon.

i feel like i should put more pictures,
and less words in this post, but i'm lazy.

i <3 procrastinating.

is this for real?

somehow i'm convinced i'm really sick.

maybe i am, maybe its just what i call
school syndrome.

sometimes i feel.. strange.
i just can't seem to breathe right.

other times..
i feel my heart pumping.. wrong.

u know, that weird, scary feeling
when ur heart is like acting up on you?

hmmm.. lets hope its just stress.

overwhelming

i'm just too busy and/or lazy to blog.
but here's a quick summary.

work. work. work. work. work. work.
work. work. work. work. work. work.
work. work. work. work. work. work.
work. work. work. work. work. work.

and it goes on and on.

in other things..

the good thing 1
i've caught wall.e and meet dave.
both were not bad..

good thing 2
there was this night that
i spent with nit, gang & shu at timbre,
eating, drinking and in idle banter.

good thing 3
i had a crazy time at freshmen bash xD!

really terrible thing
i'm going back to school on sundays.

the random thing
church is just so fun.

the most important thing
my parents have been baptised. =)

thats all i've got enough will to say,
for everything else, there's facebook.

reverie's facebook

oneweek in weekone

*exhausted*

i've to admit.
school is a madhouse.

work is inversely proportional to rest,
so on the average, i sleep about 4 hrs a day.

after a very blue monday,
and a i-nearly-died tuesday,

i already have..

2 wikis to contribute to,
2 projects,
2 big assignments,
2 course readings

and a hell lot of other things to do.
damn the damned projects, again.

wikis are sort of first come first serve.

which means the entire cohort
will fight to contribute meaningfully.

terrible.

thankfully,
the remaining 3 days were pretty good.

wednesday

after going to classes, mugging,
writing and going mad from
8:30am - 7pm..

we decided to relax.
and celebrate tracy & eileen's birthday.

we went to mos burger





we were just cheating ourselves,
cos this was what we were REALLY doing.



wiki-ing.
thank GOD for the advent of wireless@sg

(look! my watch says 8:35PM. lol.)



eureka.



champions of the..
"fastest wiki first" challenge.

x)

den off we went back to school...



three little pigs:
the great depression





there we go again.



the cakes donuts for the birthday girls.
easier to share ma..

no need cut also.

then...

we decided to take a REAL break.
like the real, no wiki, break.

went to treehouse
a bar in the IS block, right beside our classrooms

i'm dead serious, its only 20 steps away,
and u can grab a drink in between classes

(much to my delight)



generalization: all IS students love drinking.





above: overwork + alcohol.



okie that was like a midweek break.
fantabulous.

albeit it only lasted for.. 30 mins.
den it was back to work.

**

just to illustrate my point,

if u look closely. u can see there's a door on ur left,
where the bright lights come in.
thats the classroom corridor. =)

next time it rains and i can't go home.
i've found a little treehouse to hide in.

**

thursday

back in school at 8:30am,
after 3 hrs sleep.

i swore that i wouldn't work
anymore after school.

and that i would go home and sleep.

it was a great plan,
except that i didn't foresee..

i would leave school at 11pm.
oh well.

the weekend is finally here. =)
