Thoughts that linger in the mind of a Singaporean teen.

Sometimes when you look at a person long enough, you realise that person doesn't really look like how he normally does. You start noticing his or her more subtle features, and most of the time, the person will look uglier.

The first person i noticed this effect on was Former Prime Minister and Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong during one of his national day rallies. No offence to one of Singapore's more remarkable leaders, but it's just weird how someone changes appearance in your eyes so suddenly.

That's all. Nothing to do, super bored.

ok, another random topic that's been in my mind for quite awhile.

I'm assuming most of you guys reading this have tried rock climbing before. So you're fastened to safety equipments and all, and can fall off the rock wall anytime you want, and you'll be assured of your safe landing. ok, so you're all the way up 3 quarters of the really tall wall, and your fingers are as numb as sponges, you can't move 'em anymore, you're only left with 2 choices:
  • Stay there, stranded, not doing anything
  • Release your grip, land safely on the ground......but waste your effort trying, knowing that just a little bit more strength will bring you right to the top.
Ever been in that situation? Well i have, and i'm sick of being stranded up there. Nope, not on the rock wall, but in a stagnant stage of my life.

I am so bloody pissed right now. Particularly at Maxtor(the retarded portable hard drive brand) this is the story...

I was cleaning up my room, when i found the install documents and cd and stuff for my portable hard drive(PHD), and so i decided i want to reinstall the software cuz i thought it may be useful now that i know how to utilise the software(i deleted it previously due to its complex programming). so i ran the CD, but it is practically useless.. so i went to their website to look for the software download for the PHD, and i found the link. i clicked on it, knowing that 20mins from now, i'll be a happy man. but WRONG.. they claimed that i have to email in to Maxtor's customer support and provide retarded dumb-ass information of my product, and then they'll send a password over, then i can access the download, and actually download it. i thought of it as a damn retarded method of getting their customers satisfied, but nevermind, i dont mind. so i registered, but f**k this sh*t, the website doesn't want me in... i tried logging in to the website, but they didn't recognise my account. so i tried changing my password, can leh, can access the database also leh, so i changed it. and retried logging in. CANNOT AGAIN... mind you, i tried 10 over times but all to no avail. so therefore, no password, which means no software download...i spent 2 whole f***king hours getting frustrated over some tech product which is getting negative feedback all over the net.

it's f-ing 4.30am now and i have to wake up in 1 and a half hours time.

-FML-

ok it's 3.38am now, and i can't sleep. You see, this time isn't like any other time. Let's analyse the situation shall we.
  • I didn't take any afternoon naps
  • I didn't drink coffee
  • I didn't drink Brands-Essence of Chicken
  • I didn't get caught up with any games
SO WHAT IS KEEPING ME UP?

It's really frustrating when you try to sleep, but you can't. You lie on your bed, pondering about your day and life, and after 3 hours of stoning, you look back and realise you wasted 3 hours of your precious sleeping time staring at NOTHING, hoping to fall asleep anytime soon, when you could have revised one whole module or watch a movie you've always wanted to watch, but never had the time to. Now it's super late, and pretty much impossible to attain a sleepless day in school LATER on, and a high possibility of catching the flu bug with my weak immune system and sharing it with my classmates. Sleeping now becomes a choice: "If i sleep, i only sleep for 3 hours, might as well stay awake until morning" but you're already too damn sleepy and it's finally your time to sleep.

Life's full of uncertainties.

-WARNING-
-LONG BLOGPOST AHEAD-


Recounting back at how my life flew by the past 18 years made me really proud of where i am now. I know i'm not an RJC graduate or a child prodigy, but life isn't all about brain power or fortune - to me at least.

I was thinking one night and i started to question myself why i wasn't born like those kids, those with a fat wallet, nice cars, huge house, latest MP3 players, etc. i hated my life at the point of time. But i thought of how my family would spend time together on Sundays, go on picnics, joke around with each other, and it came to me that my family is what life is all about. I mean, yea, friends are great and all, but behind your every move, is your family supporting you or guiding you. Sure it sucks when they shout at you for playing too much computer games, but who does it benefit? money aside, you of course.

I tried thinking of how life would turn out if i were born Richie Rich.
  • Many girlfriends
  • Latest Apple products
  • Own car
  • Frequent the most happening clubs
then later i thought..
  • Always out with my girlfriend(s) who love(s) my expensive Audi TT more than me
  • Parents forever playing golf
  • Sister forever doing her own things
  • Friends who are always by your side, waiting for a treat or recognition.
Dont know bout you, but that doesn't really sound happy to me.

I mean i'm not saying people who are wealthy can't live happy lives, it really depends on how you look at it, and as for me, spending the little money i have for a loved one has never been more meaningful.

Hope you find happiness in your life!

I seriously can't believe I'm spending my Friday evening at home when everyone on the face of the Earth knows that Friday is the most important and anticipated day of the week. However, at least I finally got the opportunity to listen and appreciate John Mayer. Thank you iTunes shuffle function.

Think positive..Think positive..Think positive..

Leave a comment on the posts if you wanna talk to me via my blog. Cheers.

School's seriously getting really boring. Like, before feeling this way, school is just every other day, i wake up and go to school without any emotions. Now there are negative emotions.

So October is over, and November's in da house. Fast right? Every year i blog about a new year beginning, and now, 2009 is ending in 2 months time and we have no choice but to welcome in 2010. Oh well, i think i'll keep those thoughts till the end of the year when i'll look back and go on and on about the year.

The past few days have been kinda stone. I worry about the same old things everyday.
  • What's for lunch
  • How much have i gained (academically and weight-wise) today
  • Where to go after school today
  • Will classes end early today
Life seriously sucks nowadays. But guess what? Life will always suck as long as i keep on looking at the shitty side of it. Now let's see..... I have a stable, complete and happy family, i have a home, got great classmates, am born with all my limbs, normal height, wearing nice clothes etc.

Life doesn't really suck anymore does it? Life's great (:
