Yiyu caught in the process of Hog-Wars~! Ooops, should be "Hulk"-Wars instead~! TKY has been a great source of entertainment during the lows of exam studies lol~!

4 more days to go~

Running in the Bukit Batok Nature Park jungle at night... I used to do this on a bike, now I'm doing it on two legs~! Nothing beats the calmness and cool stillness of the atmosphere within the dark forest, crickets chirping and frogs croaking away... Bring on the Sundown Marathon~!

A star inside a styrofoam kopi cup~! One more paper left, in another 4 days I will be able to see the light of day~~

Midnight Fireworks~!

The bright red dot in the middle of the photo isn't a star, nor is it a roof-top signal light... It is more like a signal flare used by the army. But why was it launched in the middle of a residential estate in the middle of the night? Urban army ops now moving into the heartlands? Or is Mas Selamat spotted around this area? Mystery~

Another such flare was fired right across the road just meters away from my block, about 7 minutes after the first one, although it is quite some kilometers away from the first flare... Not bad for some free midnight fireworks~!

Exams Start

Exams have started~! One paper down, and it feels like exams are over~! Because this first paper is the one I most worry for... not that the other papers will be easy~
7 days to the next onslaught... 15 days to D-Day... I can't wait~
My right side gums are hurting and swollen... Never had my gums so swollen and painful before... Could be wisdom tooth, could be an overdose of chocolate cookies during the last few days of studying... I really hope it's a case of cookie-overdose... Don't see much wisdom in spending money and enduring undue pain pulling out a late growing tooth~

My Pitcher Plants~

My Nepenthes × Hookeriana pitcher plant has finally accepted and rewarded my tender loving care and bore its first lower pitcher~! It's quite big, almost as tall as its own pot~! And it has been diligently trapping all the little red ants living around the flower pots... Good job Hooks~!

My Hookeriana and Ampullaria pitcher plants... My Ampullaria now has three pitchers already, although it seems not able to attract and trap any insects, requiring me to catch and feed it insect foods, but it's worth it to see it prospering so happily~!

The "Not so" Perfect Storm~

The "Not so" Perfect Storm... wrecked havoc with my WiFi signals~

Exam Rants~

Testing out Macro mode on my new phone camera...~

The 179 bus that I took on my way home from school last night had quite an incident... At first I overheard a girl who was sitting on the last row of seat of the double-decker bus saying her seat was a little hot. I thought at first that it's becuase that last row was directly above the engine so it is always hot. But then 3 minutes later, I saw her change seats, because smoke was coming out from under her seat! Then things started happening quickly... more smoke came out, then outside the window a lot of smoke could be seen behind the bus, then the seat corners started turning black and the bus was filling up with the smell of burning plastics, by then we had moved to stop the bus driver from driving on... What drama~! Not just 179 drivers drive buses like F1 cars, even the 179 buses blow up like F1 cars wahaha~!

Pre-Exam Period

Man I've sleeping so much lately. Heck I've been getting more sleep than I used to during the normal school term! It seems that I've been subconsciously trying to escape from reality by drifting into Dreamland...
Same with my diet... I habitually go into 'puasa' mode during exam periods, but this time round I've been eating merrily and continuously... but eating I don't mind~ Right now I'm clearing off a pack of ChipsMore double-choc cookies yum yum~~

Post-workout~

Showing my exhibitionist side~ =p
Taken with a camera phone in my bedroom, so the quality was limited... to mask the flaws I had given the photo a Photoshop Dry-Brush Painting treatment... Want to see more? Call this number... hahahah~~!!

SXXXturday

It's Saturday... and it wasn't a good day~

夜幕笼罩灿烂的一片灯海,
多少人多少种无奈,
在星光里遗忘昨天的伤害,
一觉醒来还有期待~

Misc Rants~

A big spider is attacking NTU~!!

I love Wikipedia~! It's actually won me something in a contest quiz wahaha~~!!

Mika Hakkinen~!

1998 & 1999 F1 double-champion Mika Hakkinen in a Mclaren Mercedes MP4-22 F1 car, hitting 180kph and doing donuts barely 5m away from me... The noise, the smell... fantastic~! And he seems so humble yet so charismatic in real-life, for somebody who has beaten the great Michael Shumacher for two seasons before retiring... It's definitely worth it to brave the crowds and hot weather to watch one of my F1 heroes~~

Mobbed~!

When the phone rang, and the codewords start flashing on tv, the men in green will gather, and then it sets in... it's time for Mobilization~!
It wasn't exactly fun, a little of a waste of half a day's time, but it was nice to meet up with familiar faces, not that wearing that green uniform was enjoyable, especially on a warm, humid day like today...

Ah Tan drinks~!

Ah Tan is drinking alcohol for the 1st time hahas, for real~!

Shit is still un-abatedly falling in chunks over at Kelvin-Land... And it's getting a little too much to continue on with shit falling onto tired shoulders... Walking just for the sake of walking~ Slogging for the sake of survival~

Taken with a new handphone with 3.2Mpixs... Singtel's 50% off monthly subscription plan seemed good, while the $0 Sony Ericksson phone just got me sold on the deal... If only I can get the MMS and Internet working... Anyway let's cheers =p~

A very happy coffee cup~

Pac Mat


I can't believe TalkingCock.com actually created this "Pac Mat" game~! But it's quite fun to play too, with you being Mas Selamat aka PacMan, eating dollar notes and AK-47s, while "siam-ing" policemen, Gurkhas, NSFs and even MM Lee around a maze. I managed to evade capture till Level 6, after getting caught by "We must not be complacent!" MM Lee while hiding in a corner from "I want my mee siam mai ham" PM Lee hahas... Being Singaporean is quite so fun~ Talkingcock.com

Crap~

I've found that shit, or crap, or whatever else is bad, comes in chunks, sometimes big, sometimes small, but never individually... this makes life stink real bad~

Boring Lab

Felt pretty bored while staying back to work on an assignment report in school, so I started taking pictures around the empty lab... It has been raining for the whole day, and it was particularly depressing and difficult to be spending a whole day in air-con rooms...~

Temple and Durian

A rainy afternoon at Sembawang Cai Shen Temple, so nice so colourful~

People are like durians; some of us are born D24, some of us Johor, some Thai, some are picked from a forest in Mandai. Some are dry meat, some are wet and soggy. Some are yellow meat, some are pale and unripe. Some are sweet, some are bitter. Some have huge seeds, some have tiny ones. Some are rotten on one side, and great on the other. But all the magic happens only inside the torny shell, must open then can know. Some customers like bitter yellow meat. Some like sweet meat. Some only swear by D24 because of its fame. Most people leave it to the durian seller to pick their durians, only to blame it on luck when some of the durians aren't as good as they seemed at the stall... Cherish your durians~
