Not such a boring day after all

Class was more fun than usual. Watched Crash, already watched it before, but this time I appreciated it lots more. Loved how everything came together.

What a difference to your day a phone call can make.

Sound room, closed doors, 3, 2, 1, Fight! Wing Chun vs Kenny. Exhausted, but good exercise. Been exercising the past few days, only bad thing to come out of it is the tiredness I feel. Which explains why I've been sleeping so early these few days, around 10/11 pm. And I need a freakin hair cut.

Well that was a fun yesterday

Today was fun too. Started the day off watching Amelie. Something I've always wanted to watch, but never found the chance to. So.. Oh what the heck, I'll just do a review tomorrow. Time to sleep man.

Hey there, let's be friends

a Saturday night in school. Wish you were here.

Psychology's over. Presentation went well. But Psycho's over. And there're so many things to miss. Jeff is one of them. He's the awesomest lecturer around. Every single one of his lectures was fun. Lectures about how memory, how intelligence, personality etc comes about may sound boring, but Nooo, not when he's teaching. Sigh. I wonder if any lecturer can top him. Looks like there'll only be one reason to look foward to the next Psychology class. Though that might change. Vodka and Root beer. I'm not feeling anything yet. It's gonna be nice knowing you better.

-edit-

I'm feeling a bit of the effects of the alcohol. A little sleepy, and... woozy?

It's Q&A time, and the group presenting should be prepared for answers that the floor (us) should give, right? Well what if you have a question that you know would be damn tough to answer; you've got them trapped. Only if you asked. What do you do? Give them the chance to show their full potential and answer the question? Or sit back, relax, and prevent them from a possible awkward situation?

I didn't get to choose. Because time was running out.

Oh and tomorrow is the last day of psychology. Sadface.

I don't think I can get an A for either PcomD or Psycho.. Sadface x 2

-Corrupted transmission error- Sadface x 3

well THAT sucked

So I stayed up all night, ok not really, I slept 30 mins thanks to Jes for waking me up, basically mugging for the Psycho test. Intelligence, personality, Abnormal behaviour, Disorders and Treatments. Oh and not to forget the portfolio. 8 pages of words and pictures. And then to totally flunk the test. Flunk because I did not know how to do almost half of the paper. -.- Note to self, CREATE MINDMAPS, MEMORISE THE BIG PICTURE, NOT JUST THE INDIVIDUAL DETAILS
For some reason I couldn't remember what I'd memorised. Maybe I should've brought along a chewing gum eh? (According to psychology, chewing increases ability to remember)

Slacked awhile in 310, talked about ghosts and vitas. Lol.

Ok, this might have been the first time I had sleep paralysis and hallucinations at the same time. As usual, this happened at a time when I had not had enough sleep. So I lied down, with the laptop facing me on my left. There was some light coming out of the screen. I tried to sleep.

X amount of time passes.

I felt the sensation of sleep paralysis. I was used to it. This time I tried fighting it as hard as I could. Then I managed to flutter open my eyes a little. There was light shining on my face, from the laptop. Then I heard voice repeatedly calling out "Ryan, ryan ryan" It sounded like mom. But it can't be, I realised, she wouldn't call my name in the middle of the night. And she wouldn't be doing it right beside my ear. I fought the paralysis, and managed a soft "What...?" Oh and the blanket was covering me.

I 'woke' up. The screen was not lighted up. The blanket was all the way pulled down. My mom was not there. It was dark. Probably hallucinating. I went back to sleep.

MALAYSIA. Freakin hell wasted my day. Woke up at 7 to prepare for this trip. Drove to coach. Coach drove us to Malaysia. Stupid checkpoints. Got to this chocolate shop thing. Looked so good on paper. But all it was was a big shop selling chocolates. Samples. A little talk about the making of chocolate. And a heavy price tag on a bottle of chocolates. Not even as good as Cadbury, but 5 times the price.

Then went to a food farm. More like vegetable and fruit farm. Ate lunch there. It sucked. Walked amongst the vegetation and stale, humid air. Rambutan, durian, jackfruit trees. Blah blah blah. Walked around on our own with cousins. Experienced tour guide leading us. Went to the 'animal' farm. Which was really an enclousure with some monkeys and rabbits chained to a stand. And some goats. Well at least there was this fail part where this dude waved a stack of notes in front of a monkey. And the monkey grabbed it. And he tried to take it back, which was a stupid move. And the monkey took a bite out of the notes. 50 ringgit notes, mind you. It was hilarious. Eventually it dropped the stash and the dude got it back. Torn.

Proceeded to this talk about bees, which was really a way to get you to buy the nutritious honey that can be smeared on your face and eaten. Mmm. -.- Then dinner. Which too, sucked. Oyster omelette. Eww. Crayfish was not bad. One weird thing though was that I ate prawns, crayfish, oyster egg and crab. Considering that I don't fancy seafood, that was really something. But whatever, we got to play 'catch the fly with your chopsticks to win points' game. Oh and we tried cracking the crab's shell with our chopsticks. We failed.

Ahh, the interesting part. Fireflies. Got into an old wooden boat, travelled a little out into this river. Like the ones you see in whats that show--Anaconda. Yes. Trees on either side, but coz it was kinda dark, all you could really see were the sillouhettes. Then we saw them flies. Lepaking near the river edge on the trees, they flicked on and off, lighting up like christmas lights. The lights aren't that bright till they light up the whole tree, but they were sharp enough, imagine stars. The boat driver then moved us to one of the tree sticking out, and the flies came in! Rushed to the front, caught a few, a few escaped. It was really cool, trying to catch these small flickering lights. Finally caught one, showed it to Susan, who then showed it to mum. The firefly then somehow crawled into mum's sleeve and burrowed itself in there. Imagine a flickering greenish yellow light shining through a white sleeve. Awesome. Bagged it and brought it back here.

And now I've still gotta finish up the banner.

It's been really easy talking to you these days. /sarcasm

i AM your subconscious

Psychology is the shit yo. And with Jeff, psychology is the shit. Wordy and long at times, Jeff somehow manages to keep the lectures interesting. I like Jeff. I like Psychology. I like the people in Psychology. I like me. (Fulfilling self actualization) Right...

Stayed in school till 2315 with Kin Shaun and WeiRu. Did the characters for the banner, and made fun of Kin and Wr. Oh and Shaun too. How could I forget Shaun. But the limelight today was on Kin. Muahahaha. Go on, use your wushu punch on me. I'll wing chun punch you back 10 times more. Hahha.

And hope all goes well for you San.

When you crashed in the clouds, you found me

ENTP: Extroverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving

"ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick. They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. ENTPs are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics; on occasion, however, they manage to outsmart themselves. Both at work and at home, ENTPs are very fond of "toys"--physical or intellectual, the more sophisticated the better.

ENTPs are basically optimists (Major setbacks they tend to regard as challenges, and tackle with determin- ation.) ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. However, they do tend to be extremely genial, if not charming, when not being harassed by life in general. In terms of their relationships with others, ENTPs are capable of bonding very closely and, initially, suddenly, with their loved ones. ENTPs are also good at acquiring friends who are as clever and entertaining as they are. Aside from those two areas, ENTPs tend to be oblivious of the rest of humanity, except as an audience -- good, bad, or potential."

Wow. So much more accurate than those Horoscopes thing. No offense Kenny, but I'd rather stick to Psychology then the constellations of moons and stars :)

And... Cousins are in town! WOOT! Can't wait to meet them and see how much bigger they've grown.

Gosh it's getting strongerrrrrrrrr.

What's up with those disdainful eyes?

It can be such a downer.

Psychology video is finished! I haven't slept yet, and am freakin tired. Good thing I still have one more can of RB. Presentation for PComD today, hope everything goes well for the whole group.

Rather hectic two days. Realising that we can't get the tape digitised. Rushing on Sat to meet Kin Leung's Wushu coach, discussed with him about the logo and banner. Friendly guy on the outside, but the details he gave us were way too little. Then rushing off home to get the tape to pass to Ubin''s uncle. Then rushing to school to meet the rest, and staying till 2130 discussing our project. Then finally going home to do the animation.

Went to Kin's house today. Did another logo, and damn, our client said that it doesn't really have any link to Wushu, though it looks cool. And almost every question we asked him was replied with a "I dunno". At first we thought that was easier, having the freedom to do what we want. Now we know. Quote of the day "1 eye can see"

Singlish fail la. Lol.

It just doesn't seem... right, talking like that. For others, yeah, fine, but... I really am not sure how to respond to that.

Maybe it's the defensive mechanism kicking in. I dunno.

That was fun

Thanks ubinibu.

Bummer

Staying positive is not easy

Where'd you go?

I'm from Moi. I know what I'm doing, give me a break will ya? That idea will work. But looks like my group's steering towards something else. I just hope it's workable.

And so my other blog has taken the spotlight.

Wow just talking online and I'm all awake!

=D

Waking up to a nice surprise.

Not sure how to finish this level

Stage one is completed. But where do I go on from here? I've become an optimist over the past 2 years; anything I want, I will get. Just putting my mind to it and seeing it a reality will make the difference. But... chapter 7 just eludes me, and I guess I've been a pessimist over that. So. How do I go on from here? And... this is where a private blog would come in handy, considering that it's getting too deep. All in all, today was a success.

Formed groups for Psychology class. Too bad Mr. Jeff here made the groupings, and I gotta say, it could've been better. Not just for me, but for others. All four MOIers are split up into different groups, and our assignment? Do a tv commercial. If we had been grouped together... But let's see, I'm pretty fine with my group, Justin the Judo guy, Dinah the... Dinah, and Cheryl the girl with the accent. Stuck outside the house with no keys, I used the time and came up with an idea for our commercial. Surprisingly the idea came to me quite fast, and if we can pull it off, I think it will work.

Cough can be such a downer. Also, comparing me to mr.x. Was I really like him? In any case, we all have changed, so watch out for pwnage.

You don't know the depths I'd go

I've finally got the motivation to work hard for PComD. Desmond's lecture just now really helped me understand the importance of all these interviews and portfolio and resume trainings. Now that the motivation is here, time to do work.

I wish this block could last forever.
