Ramblings Of A (Almost) Mad Man

By right I should be studying instead of blogging right now… but feeling damn frustrated and grumpy… nid to vent my frustrations abit or else will go crazy… so come online grumble grumble… to get things off my chest… feeling suffocated oredi…

Bad mood… but not due to study until stress like many of my nie frenz… my case is different… for me, I cun even find the mood to study in the 1st place… guess I am suffering from withdrawal symptoms… nono… dun misunderstand… I’m not on drugs or anything lidat… I am addicted to NUAHing… since lessons ended (or way b4 tat), I oredi declared myself in holiday mood liao… holidays are always relaxing… too relaxing… I can feel my brain growing dull n my bones dissolving… I’m slowly evolving into a piece of slime tat juz goes “splat” when drop on the floor… Then suddenly, the alarm starts ringing… exams are juz around the corner by the time I realize… the feeling is like u were soaring freely in the skies in ur private jet when ur engines suddenly fail n u were sent plunging to the ground…

Work… study… it juz pisses me off… I started and completed my assignment report yesterday… others took many days to plan, think, research and do their reports… I did everything in one day (actually it’s juz abt 3 hours)… it’s not becoz I’m smart or efficient or anything lidat… the truth is from the moment I started doing, my mood juz got from bad to worse… starting was sianz, then bored, then frustrated, ended wif f**king pissed-off… end product? A stinky piece of slip-shod work which I tink others can complete in half an hour… honestly speaking, if I am the teacher, I would fail the report w/o hesitation… thou the report carries 50% of the total grade for the module, I am not in any mood to seriously care…

Today… here I am again… feeling shitty… my notes are all lying in one forgotten corner of the room… my 1st paper is on Tuesday… but I cun find the motivation, spirit or urgency to even START my revision… it’s getting demoralizing… I see the TV feel like watching TV, I see my PS2 feel like playing game, I see my handphone feel like calling my frenz to go out jalan jalan, I see my bookshelf feel like reading comics, I see my wardrobe I tink abt the pile of porno vcds inside I still haven’t watch… it’s like everything I see is trying to distract me from studying… of course I din succumb to any of the temptations but tis battle to resist them is wearing me out… I find myself juz staring into blank space like a zombie… then I see my laptop, and here I am, blogging to grumble, moan, nag, curse and swear…

Oh… When can I find the willpower to study?

Bloated With Chicken...

Got a haircut today… ok… no big deal… still the same old toopid hairstyle… been wanting to cut for beri long liao… but same old story… drag and drag… until wake up look in the mirror see a bird nest on my head… and when I passed by the barber shop tis afternoon, started to haf hallucinations tat the barber was waving at me, chanting “Come in… come in… time to cut ur hair…” And the rest was history.

My mum went out wif her kakis the whole day today… my dad was working the afternoon shift so I haf to settle my own dinner… b4 my mum left the house tis morning, she threw me a pack of bah-kut-teh flavoured instant noodles she juz bought and told me to try if I’m hungry and too lazy to go out… however, being a dignified self-acclaimed gourmet, I refused to degrade myself to the level of cooking n eating instant noodles… but the instant noodles did give me inspiration on wat to cook – bah kut teh ! Hmm… but too troublesome to go buy herbs and ingredients… n too late liao, market a lot of stalls close liao so I haf to make do wif wat’s available in the fridge… turns out my mum din even buy any pork, not to mention spare ribs… * continued searching * Eureka ! A chicken ! Who says bah kut teh must die die use pork? I will improvise and make chicken bah kut teh… hehe… ingenious me…

Ok… those of u not interested in cooking or know nuts abt cooking, u can skip the following part…

As I was in the process of making my marvelous creation, I realized why ppl prefer to use pork for bah kut teh rather than chicken… chicken does not withstand long periods of boiling or cooking as well as pork… when cooked in soup, chicken tends to become dry, tough n tasteless… tat’s probably why when they cook chicken soup, they use chicken bones or chicken breast meat to avoid wasting the other parts of the chicken… I am a person who hates wastage so wat I did was I chopped up the chicken into its diff parts, put the breast meat towards the bottom of the pot n the rest of the good stuff on top… so when the top part was cooked, I removed them b4 they went dry n tough… and left the chicken breast inside to continue boiling the soup… so in the end, wat I got was a chicken feast… chicken bah kut teh soup and a plate of 白斩鸡 wif oyster sauce n sesame oil… yummy… a whole chicken to myself… wahaha… * burps *

Umm… now the problem is how to explain the missing chicken to my mum… hmm… how does “A rat opened the fridge and took off wif the chicken.” sound?

I'll Be Back... Wrong... I'm Back...

I’m back… after so long… more than 2 weeks nv post… been taking a break… no more lessons… next week exams plus assignment to hand in… nothing done… haha…

Been gaming a lot lately… finally my PS2 gets to see the daylight once again after been left in the dust for so long… hmm… BY RIGHT my priorities now should be the exams next week… but u know me lah… I always get my priorities wrong… haha…

Next on the list… NEW SHOES ! Belated birthday present from my fren… hmm… very belated… oops… haha… anyway sort of a surprise coz nv expected to get shoes as a present… Chinese taboo… but me not bantang so it’s ok… and tink I seriously nid new shoes… current inventory includes my dad’s old sandals (mine spoilt so he gave me his since he din wear much), one pair of track shoes (the army one, bought juz after I ORDed), one pair of converse snickers wif a hole in it (and it’s getting bigger everyday, the hole not the shoes) plus one pair of slippers (yup, juz one miserable pair… another pair got stolen… the toopid thief left all the other newer nicer-looking shoes lying around and juz took my favourite old worn-out but damn comfy pair…) Gosh… I suddenly feel so pathetic…

Oh ya… something u all ought to know… many of us (ya including me) using wireless network haf tried tapping other ppl’s network to go online… basically u juz open ur network settings and see wat networks are available in ur neighbourhood… choose one and u can surf using the network as long as it’s not encrypted… sounds familiar? Well… here’s the thing… it’s in the news yest… a 17 yr-old poly student juz GOT CHARGED in court for doing so… hmm… nv expected the authorities to be so fierce nowadays… beta be careful…

Another thing u all nid to know… but I tink many of u may oredi know… if not u will soon know… they going to raise the GST AGAIN… from the current 5% to 7%... more details will be revealed in parliament next February… see lah… after elections then say… but then again… it’s the same after every election… haiz… tink carefully b4 u cast ur vote next time…
