My legs and ass hurts!!! Played squash last friday and it really killed my body yesterday and today.
Squash was fun, and wasn't as easy as it seemed. You really have to sprint alot after the ball and keep moving around the court. After sooooo long of no exercising, it really drained me of my strength pretty fast.
I realised another thing, which i should have known long long ago- the basics of all the basics of sports - to do warm up before playing, and cooling down after, or end up like the three of us, an ache in our legs and ass which never seem to want to leave. T_T
lolx.

This song has gotten itself stuck in my head these few days, it's written by Yoshiki (from X Japan if you dunno). I forgot the name of the person who sang this song, but i like her voice. It is a sad but beautiful song. It's from his classical album-Eternal Melody II.
I really think Yoshiki's very very talented and he's one of the few artistes that i would definitely be among the first to grab his new album, even if i have never heard of any of the songs in it. He's always been my favourite and most respected musician.
Yoshiki – unnamed song
I’m standing on the edge
And coming to my senses from my reverie
Never thought I would
Never thought I’d need to
Say goodbye I bid you farewell
My voiceless words are swaying a flame
I can’t live without
I can’t live without
I can’t live without you
Here in the dark
I whisper your name over again
Give me the strength to seize the light
If I should find a way
I saw a dream you were flying in the sky
Without a fear
Never touched the ground
But never came to my side
I tried so hard to reach out for your hand
The ruthless wind kept your soul away
I can’t live without
I can’t give without
I can’t breathe without you
Here in the world
Do you feel the rain
You said love takes no pain
With or without the sun
The lurid sky is still tearing me apart
Will she let freedome reign over the pain
Give me the strength to believe the words that love will find a way
I can’t live without
I can’t give without you
Here in the world
Do you feel the rain over the pain
Give me the strength to believe the words that love will find a way
With or without the sun
I’ll be and I won’t say goodbye cause I…
I know I’ll be with you

After a bad bodyache this half of day due to bad sleeping position, i met an old friend today... yay! we went to esplanade today.. coz i said i havent been to esplanade before in my life ( surprised? yeah! be surprised!!!! it's true) and she was super surprised lol... well i didnt had any chance or reason to get down there before, and people are saying there's nothing there so no one really wanted to go there actually... Anyway, she brought me to this great chocolate cafe.
It's AWESOME!
I had a choc drink called suckao, not a very nice name but the choc is reallly great, and reaaalllly expensive - $6.90 for a cup and the servings kind of little... they gave me a small cup to put on top of a small candle in a holder, with milk and chocolate chips(u can choose -dark, milk, or white). I had the milk choc. You're supposed to boil the milk and trow the choc chips inside the cup to melt it. Then there's this metal straw like thing, which burns my fingers when i drink from it, for u to suck the choc out.
Then there's the waffle... yum yum. they poured chocolate sauce on top, and serve it with icecream and raspberry(or strawberry?) on another sauce plate for u to dip the waffle in.
tastes............really............Awesome..............
The Awesome Suckao-
the one with the hole in the middle.. inside is the candle burning away at the milk and choc.....
our dessert .... the other really awesome thing here.. supposedly even better in Aussie
Made me so busy... and cost me $137 printing all that stuff for this show. Really tired about it, but had fun looking through other people's works, especially the art and videos from MOI.

Hey hey! a bunch of my friend's friends came along to my house yesterday to film for sch's project with their really cool looking equiptments!! they just borrowed a few room for filming ... and i guess setting up the the looking for all that props and setting the cameras and lightings at the right angle and adjusting the amount of light can really take very long.
Apparently, my friend's the main lead actress and they're filming a short film for their project 2... so cool, i wish my projects could be this interesting... but i bet it's also tough. Must really protect all the equiptments coz it's borrowed from school... may have to pay thousands if it gets spoilt i heard.
Maybe if i get into the IMD in NTU, i may get to do these interesting and cool stuff!!
All the people and equipments..... looks like they're going somewhere...
When did i become so superb and won so many prizes and certs??
Equipments at my room! wow... looks so ...tech tech..
A cool looking lighting equipment...more equipments
The main lead actress...... doing what in my room?? ah haha

Went TO NTU yesterday to take a faculty test for the admission into the ADM course thingie... very irritating and long walk to the mysterious LT2A which nobody knew (at least my friends didn't). Of course, i was late setting off, but everything is irritating about the journey to ntu.
WHO made the stupid boonlay bus interchange so insanely round and long and WHO placed the 179 bus stand all the way at the end so i innocently ran all the way to the end of the interchange, following the round round interchange route from the mrt just to catch the bus. I should have just walked across the road since it's just easier and faster. Anyways i got lost in NTU halfway and coincidentally met cheryl(also lost) in my journey walking to lt2A as the notice thing is placed too far apart for me ... so we were late late late for the test lor. The test isnt too hard, kinda fun too. Just the lack of time only, and me forgetting my application no, and US (cheryl and I) not reading the screen infront properly so we didnt write our names, IC no and Applic no on EVERY page of the test paper. We realized it after we turned in our papers... lol.
I felt so weird doing the test papers, it's like sec sch's exams again with all the 'choose 2 out of 3 options' questions, time limit, the room's silence and way of sitting. After all that snacking while working, or sleep halfway while working attitude i nurtured in poly, this definately is kinda ... weird... i even heard the bell sounding through the school and was like 'wow, this is so sec schooly'
I realised tt more than half of NTU is used for residential buildings too... it's also very filled with greens in there, around the bus stops and residential area. I think i saw a park and a giant pond inside while on the bus out of the sch. Wow.
Lt2A's somewhere below the buildings on the pic's right....
The mysterious and irritating LT2A....
At least the rushy and tedious part is. All that's left is wait till the dip show exhibition thingie is over. CHEERS!! I made it past these 4 months, complained alot, slacked even more and slogged through sleepless nights just to meet deadlines. i remember how it was like during o levels where i still can play around and have enough sleep just before that o level exams, and i totally missed it. I seriously wonder how i managed to get pass these four months , slacking helped alot, but other than that, i wonder how i managed to come to my final design, i really couldn't remember what was my thoughts and processes in the process... weird eh? I even had to think and jot down notes for my presentation too.
Tertiary education is over for me already... glad that diploma cert is going to be in my hands soon , and that i am actually going to move on to the next stage of life, but on the other hand, it means time to say goodbye to the days i spent with the ppl i met there and the lecturers, and the rooms i've been in. Yep, they'll all become history.It also means i'm older (blah..). I'm gonna miss it, like how i missed my pri and sec sch days.
Some random photos taken during the 4 mths...
