anyhow, just transfering some of the awesomeness here; i've stolen THIS video from NAP. brings back memories of primary school science lessons..... sort of. truly hilarious bbc stuff.
there's an entire series there in the related videos, and lots and lots more sidesplitting funnies. i'm still watching them, but i recommend LOOK AROUND YOU - SULPHUR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmw7JfsNz

-started at clarke quay.
i went for recce at gameshaven for tomorrow's EPIC LAN SESSION 12 v12 today, but the staff didn't know we were coming due to their stupid admin lapse. wasted an hour.
-moved to plaza sing. met rachel in the lift!
i played several rounds of tekken with ryan on my asuka card, lost 4 times in a row to that damn plazasing asuka chick that i know i can win. also bought a knit cap which wasn't what i thought it was. wasted some munnies and 40k gold.
-moved to funan to watch sam cast a kingsurf vs randomteam dota game, which started realy late. wasted 2 hours.
i bought a pair of new earphones that were relatively cheap from challenger, but then to my horror found that it was not capable of covering the long distance from my ears to my waist. wasted 12 bucks.

xewyne 's journal that i've been procrastinating so much lately that i should marry procrastination and then divorce it and get cash from the prenup. except that procrastination knows that i can't live without her, and a few days later i'll come running back to her on my knees begging for her to take me back (running first then getting on my knees, not both simulataneously). and then she'll take me back but she'll draft a prenup heavily skewed in her favour and i won't be able to do anything about it. bitch.i had so much planned for post-ORD. i was going to go intensive gymming, to learn driving in 3 months, possibly to learn sign language, and to do a lot of enriching things in my suddenly un-obligation-filled life. guess how many of those things i've accomplished? (hint: it's less than one). and i realise a huge reason for this is because i now normally start my day at/after lunchtime. i wake up, brush my teeth, eat lunch usually while checking on my laptop for facebook/lj/youtube/onemanga/teamliquid/w
oh but today, thankfully, i had driving at 8.30am. ah driving, my sweet sweet mistress. because of you, i have woken up earlier than i've ever done on a weekday since ORD. because of you, i have terrorised the streets of sengkang with my L plate skills. because of you, i've spent an hour at the gym, and the past half an hour on this lj entry (yes half an hour because i kept losing my entry from IE crashing due to my mousehunt toolbar), and lo and behold, it is still not lunchtime. and more driving to come!
it is really a nice feeling to have your whole day ahead of you, rather than your whole night ahead of you. oh but waking up was not fun, not fun at all. you know i love you, P, but you're no good for me and i cannot stay with you forever. Discipline, you are to me as chuck is to the piemaker in pushing daisies. oh my childhood friend i will have you.
less slacking 4tomorrow!

last night, i went to one of the fringe festival performances at the esplanade with ryan. it was a random taiwanese duo neither of us had heard before, but ryan does this "buy random ticket to random unknown indie music performance" thing quite often, he tells me. he says he's rarely ever disappointed, mostly pleasantly surprised, and 棉花糖(katncandix2) was definitely a pleasant surprise indeed.
the music that the duo of a cutesy talkative taiwanese chick and a soft-spoken guy produces isn't really very indie; they've got quite a mainstream sound, though it being an acoustic performance made it sound less commercialised than a typical radio tune, but i really enjoyed myself. also am glad for buying the cd. listening to the playlist on repeat makes me remember just how much i really like chinese pop music, even though i rarely listen to it (or can sing/understand, haha). love their music.
then i popped over to xr's house for a night of possibly my worst luck ever at mahjong, and best luck ever at poker. the poker one was seriously epic. first hand: pocket jacks, had a JACK FULL HOUSE on the FLOP <---- how sick is that, and went up against a friend's pocket kings, meaning much winnings for me. second hand: ace king diamonds, and at the end of the river there were 4 diamonds on the table <---- wtf???? meaning INSANE assured winnings for me again with my strongest flush. third hand: won with an ace pair.
i effectively grabbed 3/4 of the total money on the table by my third hand. HOW LUCKY IS THAT. the only problem is that we played mahjong for real cash, but not for poker =(=(=(=(=(=(=(=(=(=(=(=(=(=(=(=(=(=(

post-ord has been kinda nuahhhz. rotting around, watching shows, going for parties, watching more shows, going out to places, watching even more shows, driving gymming (of fail) starcrafting, waiting for shows to come up so i can watch them. etc.

leverage is back. 30 rock is back. still waiting for the office. must get arrested development 2 and 3 soon. golden globes is full of horse manure. yeah you heard me, avatar and glee. for the record, i like glee. i even have glee userpics. i love the songs, i love 99% of jane lynch's lines, but i absolutely loathe the rest of the writing. amateurish plot progression and flimsy character development (the asian girl + handicap ep made me throw up a little in my mouth) don't deserve to beat office and 30 rock. also united states of tara, which i heard is really good but i have yet to start on.

TheSteakJustice- This is the greatest thing I have ever seen.
Tokuroid- My baby nephew grew a beard out of sheer MANLINESS just by watching this.
akranis- A little part of me died when I realised that nothing I'll ever do will be better than this 8 minute long episode.

On December 14, 2009, Valve announced the first DLC installment for Left 4 Dead 2, "The Passing".[37] The release is set for early Spring 2010[38] and features the cast of Left 4 Dead 2 meeting with the survivors from the original Left 4 Dead.

tonight was quiz night at the mr booth's pub the old brown shoe. je assembled the dream team, with heavyweights like ky, hq and iw. it was super fun, and we had some INSANE momentum going on in the first two rounds (KY HQ IW ARE GODLIKE LAH. wth obscure historical and current affairs knowledge. what do they feed these guys with.). it sure looked like we would have won it, but we got smashed so hard on movies/entertainment, damn the lack of questions about anything past the 90s. sowden's team, as je tells me, won yet again even without mr sowden, and they performed below average too. nuts. can't wait for the next trip, assuming i don't get cut for being a BURDEN. ask theatre questions plz plz plz.
i'm also quite disappointed that i couldn't even manage to last one week of 100 words, which is what i've been doing in my past few entries. i gave up last night when i truly couldn't write anything coherent. 'twas a bad day, and so is today. maybe i'll find a day, a good day, and write 4 or 5 to catch up. hmm. hopefully i'll get out my first batch by jan 31, fingers crossed.
you know how sometimes you see an ant on your table, crawling along with a determined and focused pace. then you blow gently on it and it freezes up for a second and then starts scurrying off like a demon-possessed insect. then you block it with your finger and it bounces off and swerves crazily in another direction. then you keep poking it, making walls to block its path, making it hustle around in circles, its original destination completely forgotten. and then you wonder what's going on in the poor, tortured fella's mind.
that sums up my cambridge interview.
this is the year that my life takes a huge step forward, the year i am thrust into my future. the train has left the station and it's not going back. breakneck full speed ahead pedal to the metal no stoppin'. my future is passing by like the green blur of the serene countryside out of my window. i enjoy each scene for as long as my eyes can before they're torn away by the momentum of reality. the wind gets in my face; my eyes water, bloodshot (but i force them open, i must.)
i hope i am ready.

this is slightly out of place, but i am 2/3 through my s4 sytycd marathon and i just want to eat katee and joshua up so much. first fandom of the new year!
sherlock holmes was awesome. great movie, enjoyed it thoroughly. rdj judelaw rachelmcadams <3 and wow i finally know (and respect) guy ritchie for something other than being madonna's ex. am lazy to elaborate further about the movie, but two thumbs up for sure!
was nice to have something to end the day well with, after an obscene start to it. i spent 8 of the first 11 hours of my day sitting down motionless and staring into blank space / snoozing. no thanks to insane commute times and insane wait times for haircut at hougang and for friends to get un-lost from safti.
as the date of freedom draws nearer, i realise i really need to do this at least once, before it's too late and i forget. also, after she indirectly helped me to catch my christmas tree mouse on Mousehunt today by being so sporting and so enthusiastic about observing the 15min catching intervals, i really need to do this.
i am so grateful to have been blessed with my immediate superior. she is the i/c of TEAM 2, and i am the 2i/c, and it has been a 2-man team for a large part of my time here. she's a typical heartland auntie, but without the annoying ji-zha naggy market shrew personality. she has made my 2 years in camp so much more bearable. i remember bitching about her mid-last year and whining about how she doesn't really know her stuff, and goodness i wish i could go back in time to bash my face in.
she has been nothing but nice to me, except that one time she got quite pissed at me for me being a total douchebag to her. but wow i realise she's never actually been VERY angry at me before. i am quite ashamed, like i used to get very easily frustrated with her because of her lack of IT skills, sometimes i was quite cold to her, but she's always very patient with me. she mothers me around, she buys snacks for me, she occasionally makes me tea, she gives me so much leeway and so many privileges that WOW i really should feel so so blessed. privileges is in big font because I GET SO MANY compared to other team guys and their superiors.
i owe her a huge show of gratitude, which i guess i've been somewhat trying to do over the recent months by NOT being such a douche. but argh does that line from that joni mitchell song always ring ever so true. though it's not 'gone' yet, just going soon, and i'd better do something about it.

have i mentioned that i love dilbert? scott adams is possibly the greatest comic strip writer ever. 20 years of writing and his comics still are of pretty good standard, consistently. still funny, still the same kind of intelligent humour. one would think that he'd run out of office jibes, but he still manages to make me smile 5 out of 7 strips per week. and his characters ALL have such distinct and lovable personalities, it's awesome. you hear that jim davis? just roll over and die please, you stupid cat.
