A tribute to the worlds stupidest lizard.
Who thought that my printer was a good place to take a nap.

You are like:
a dream that wafts across the air
the smell of fresh flowers in the morning
the sun that lifts heads drooped with despair
a drop of sweet water in the rain of life
the sun of a new day dawning
the respite from eternal strife.

tender thoughts i do opine
though all may be transient, and all in the mind?

General Unified Theory of Life

If you live to 100 (and thats a long shot)
you will have 100*365*24*60 = 52 million minutes.
You spend half of this doing mechanical functions (sleep, shower, shit, etc)
26 million minutes.

There are 6000 million people in the world. (and rising)
Of these 6000 million, lets say you get to meet 1 million of them in your lifetime.
Taking the 80/20 principle, you will spend 80% of your time with 20% of these people.
Out of these 20%, 20% (4% compounded) will take up 80% of your most valuable time.
Thats 40000 people.
Out of these 40000, you have your immediate family and good friends. Thats about 20, give and take. Extended family and friends included, maybe 100 total. Or even 200.

26 million minutes spent over 40000 people = 650 minutes a person = 11 hours a person

26 million minutes spent over 200 people = 325000 minutes per important person = 225 days per person.

We spend way too much time thinking of inconsequential things and irrelevant people. Time is a resource that is irreplaceable.

The point of this somewhat disorganised post is that i should spend less time worrying about people who do not matter.bah.

I was just at a bio lecturer.

Recollections

4 years ago today, i was:
One of the better students in my class in JC.

3 years ago today, i was:
Sleeping in my bed on tekong, shivering slightly without the warmth of my hair.

2 years ago today, i was:
Preparing to commission as an infantry officer in the SAF.

1 year ago today, i was:

Waking up on Jurong Island, with Ops duty as part and parcel of my tour of duty.

Today, i am:
Stuck in a camp of a different kind. And now struggling to do what once came to me damn quickly.

No point to this, just something that ran through my mind in the shower.

6 Mods.
To pull my CAP to 4.3, i must get:
A for 3 mods.
A- for 2 mods.
S/U and get an S for the 6th. This will be either General Biology or Management and Organisation.

This is not impossible. But i will not stop even at the impossible.

Fear is for the weak.

What i learned today

I learned that by the end of my course, i will be able to design a full scale chemical refinery using all the knowledge that i have gained. In fact, thats probably gonna be like a final year project.

WOAH. HOW THE F*&$#^&*% AM I GOING TO DO THAT.

On the bright side, at least i know where im going. =)

Painful lesson

I feel like shit.

This was probably one of the worst sundays of my life.

Strangely, i managed to drive my bro to camp and get back without any problems.

But after i hit the bed again, i realised i was too sick to get up.

Had to cancel a jamming session with my friends.

Stayed horizontal for most of the day.

Took me half an hour to down a pack of porridge at 5pm.

Took my weight - 86, abt 2 kilos lighter. I guess that comes after puking and not eating the entire day.

Im not a fan of bulimia, but apparently it likes me today.

The problem comes when i try to isolate the cause of this malaise.

1. Durians and alcohol. Google it. Apparently it could be lethal.
2. Uncooked food from BBQ last night. Probable hypothesis, raised by my mom.
3. Too much seafood on thurs. The problem with this is that the reaction is very, very delayed. Not normal for me to have such a delayed reaction.

Whatever it is, i feel like shit.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

God and Prayers

Today was a stellar turnout. There were like, 8 out of the 12 there. Thats like, mega-double-ultra-whooptididoo attendence. I was pleasantly suprised. For once. The designer came down too. Things move a lot better with his guidance. The girls came down too. First time i saw all three of them together for a while. Managed to get the requirements communicated. Got to talk to the heads of productions too. Very productive night. But still not enough. It looks like my school weekends will be eaten up as well.

Well fuck that, at least things are moving.


Had a comment on my men-management earlier. Good point made, that there were a lot of people using eye power while the rest work. I should have noticed. But,
1. A lot of people was a rarity. In fact, its the first time its happened.
2. They had different jobs earlier. All were occupied in the 2 hours before u came. Now because things headed to a crux, so not all can work.
3. I did ask them for their IHG timetable, and planned for when they are free. Why do u think we're working evenings only? Would a shift system be better? No. Not everyone has the same timetable. If we work in group based shifts, NOTHING will get done because no group can get together more than 2-3 times a week. I rather keep it free and easy and get individuals down.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Lets hope the trend of more people rather than less continues. Points will be allocated based on attendance.

On a brighter side, went to Malaysia today with my driving instructor and Guoyi. Had fun driving a manual car for the first time after my test. Looks like i still could handle a manual. with a few occasional stalls of course, but nothing to worry about. Got a better idea of how to travel around Johor already. Should go with my mom next time to drive her around.

Fuck you ----------------- (name hidden for my protection)

I want to shout at you, scream the entire hall out, and scold you until your ears bleed.
I want to curse and swear at all of you, for successfully wasting my december holidays.
I want to take you, and slowly carve out a pound of flesh for every dollar in my december phone bill with a dull knife.
I want to hang you upside down by your scrotum and watch you write in pain in a lonely street, waiting for others who can help you to arrive at a meeting which was set 2 hours ago, but nobody turned up.
I want to tell you that you are the reason that we are languishing, that we cannot improve, because you lack discipline, dedication, and responsibility.
I want to walk back to my hall room, call a taxi, pack my things, and leave within the hour with a notice that i will NEVER come back. And good luck trying to fill the hole i left.

Why? Simple. because you are an ASSHOLE. and you will always be one in my eyes. And the combined powers of shit you all create have collectively undermined my faith in hall life and my passion for hall.

who are you?
I dunno. I lost count of the number of people who fill this description.

I am (-----) this close from walking out. Pray that my tolerance increases over the next few days. This new year does not promise to be good.
