been quite awhile since i've updated my blog. well, nothing much these days. i haven't contacted my boss yet, and i think he don't want me anymore. hahaha... biscuit...
i found out something today. or rather through the days of rest. i'm getting alittle short tempered nowadays. not sure why. must be the lack of school and the 1 whole semester of work. during work, i've learnt to be very sensitive, especially to the words used, both incoming and outgoing. i've learnt the few taboos in work, one of which is very common...
"eh, what is your pay arh?"
that's a very light degree nia. one thing is that i tend to categorize extensively now, to match the sensitive speech thing, coz there's always a degree of people who speak without thinking, but in some cases, the ultra smart and maybe cunning ones, act to speak without thinking. but in sg, i hardly find this kind of people. more of people giving the impression of "i know what you don't know" or "i know your darkest secrets". haha... it's very amusing though.
i'm hungry again. arh... i'm growing fatter and fatter...

half life... hahaha...
i'm super tired arh! played half life till 5am in the morning and i just got up. actually, i got home at 3am, i didn't really chiong half life all the way in the night. i wanted to play cs but there's not many players in it, so half life loh.
i learnt my lesson yesterday about how important a good metronome is. i borrowed a drumpad from kian and got really into all my basic rudiments yesterday. of coz, i'm a beginner in this, so i need time. for now, paradiddles on 110 bpm, double paradidles on 120 bpm, paradidledidledidle on 60bpm (it's really damn confusing), double stroke on 100 bpm. it's a really refreshing start and i think it's been quite awhile i've practised something.
doing rudiments is really really fun, i spent around an hour playing it yesterday, perfecting my strokes and getting comfortable. at this point, hitting and going with the metronome is the point, must have the feel good thingy. i dunno how to explain. well, more practice later in the afternoon.

the day after valentine's day...
well, amri, ceyao and i decided to go out yesterday. it's a day which most of us singles hate but it's not a day which 3 of us thought of. it was our presentation day on wednesday, so yesterday was out to relax and to just chill with good friends. the only bad thing was that it's valentine's day and swensens in marina sq got packed with coupled reserve tables. we're moving as 3 guys, damn, made us look like gays. well, good thing was we had a big table, a 6 seater. very obviously made us straight.
i was thinking of buying 2 individual dishes for myself yesterday, but it turned out that i had too much just having a dish to my own. the salmon baked rice wasn't good, the fish is too dry, but i shall give my compliments to the gravy, not too thick and the taste is pretty rich. 3 of us had ice cream, amri's a sizzling pan, butterscotch, nice... ceyao's mango, nice too. i got frost malt, pretty good too. i can't believe i had so little, perhaps it's the pricing the shrunken my stomach capacity, sigh, 25 dollars down the drain.
watched cj7, liked the show, a very good laugh. i think i had too much serious kinda of movie till i forgot how to enjoy the more simpler plots. it's pretty good, as advertised.
did alittle shopping for toiletries and went on back to ceyao's car. he had a crazy idea. we headed to ecp and went scouting. for? hehehe... couples making out in the car. hehehe... but, we didnt catch any. we thought we did! but either we missed it, or they spotted us and didnt continue. we went up right to their windows to see, hahaha. shit man, couples, hate us! hahaha...
headed home and watched hana kimi... fell in love with an idol with similar age. Horikita Maki-chan... so cute. *drools*

technically graduated...
it was 9.30am and i was in the classroom right with my booted laptop with my presentation slides waiting for the lecturers to settle into their seats. today may not be the official date where i get my diploma and get out of school, but it sure brought a huge degree of nostalgia. 10.40am, i took my trusty friend for 3 years and placed it on the table. inserted the RGB cable, got the display up and started talking. it was smooth and my lecturers wore faces that portray a good impression. it was fun.
a part of me tapped my shoulders after i blurted 'Thank You' and proceeded to my seat.
'You're done, edmund.'
3 years and my journey ends here, scribbling on the last page of my best chapter in my life and trying to hold my thoughts from wondering. recalling my first day, school's probably the best and i've probably paid more attention on life. still fat, but happier. i'm still the same old edmund, a very realistic character with just a tint of ideas. may not be the friendliest person around, but just good enough to remember his name.
i hope i did left some impression, as i do know people with such personalities i possess is not attractive and normal.
i love you.

my tagboard is silent... again...
i've come to a point where i'm gonna say this. i'm stressed. i've been affected by it. i can see my change in attitude towards people and i am as obvious as a book. i can be read easily, i think.
this year's chinese new year suck like shit. i just realised. absolutely and totally no ang bao from my mum's side. i'm like the forgotten one. but heck. i dun like them anyway. not all, but most. chinese new year, emphasis is on the good things. all they spout were the bad. who the fisherman wanna listen to the bad while you wanna hear the good. i'm so pissed when i reached home. YES! I'M FAT AND YOU DUN NEED TO FREAKING REPEAT IT EVERYTIME YOU SEE ME AND I'M SICK OF IT!
can't they just say this, "wow, thanks for your hospitality." or "how's your school? good? have you been a good boy in school?" NO! FISH NO! they'll find someway to say it and my mom is the worst. she's the starter of this. i'm sick of them. so sick till i'm ranting like a xmm. i'm being very immature right now but i'm need to just let it out.
i'm so sick of them.

so much kfc...
wah sian. spent alot money today. or rather, i spent alot of money nowadays. i need to cut down on the spending money. arh... money management...
went pizza hut in the afternoon, after that went kfc. it's like 25 bucks for both meals and my dad's gonna lecture me for an hour if i do that in front of him. well. my mom would probably lecture me for probably months, or years. she will take the phase, "all the 25 dollars pizza hut for lunch and kfc for dinner fault..." and nag on and on.
i love chili crab. ate it yesterday. dad said that it's not that spectacular, but it's still pretty good on my taste buds. maybe i'm not so privileged. maybe, having to eat chili crab is like the thing in my life. i kinda skipped the 'yi ping wuo'. i don't eat abalone, well, i dun really like it. ha.
PPP and Presentation and there goes my poly. NS! HERE I COME! and my next school, NUS! or NTU! bye poly... thanks for teaching me so little, i need more!

burdens...
it might make you great shouldering them, but it comes to a time where you feel the stress about it. being the contributor while the contributed is not responding as what you are least expecting can be very disheartening. being in a group and striving for the better, making effort in every way. this sucks.
why haven't anything been improving?

i'm home alone during the festive season... yay...
well, not my family ditched me at home. it's rather i ditched my family while they plan to go to msia. other than chew gum and food, i hate going to msia and meeting people.
peace at home, alone. i have to buck up on my song writing. it's not taking a well turn and it's too, how can i say it, rigid. been listening to this lady on youtube, miss nunes. i forgot her first name. ha. sorry. she's pretty good at her originals, i like them and if i got the chance to get one of her cds, i would love to. hmm, i'm not too sure about the shipping though.
happy chinese new year. it's going to be a lonely one for me but i guess a change of pace for this year will be good rather then going around with new clothes and aunties trying to persuade me to lose weight and get a girlfriend, or the most common topic among them now... "edmund, when are you enlisting?"
as the 1st grandson of my dad's side, everyone will be excited.
i can't wait for army either. idling for too long is bad, i think. ha. army army!

i'm a lazy polar...
i go to bed at 1 and i wake up at 11, it's like an hour or so into the afternoon on the same day. and i can't last for 4 hours, i'll go back to sleep again. haha. freedom, you can say. free from iap and now catching back all my sleep.
one thing i hate the need to pee during sleep or just before you're awake. it's like when you wake up and wanna go into snooze mode, your body goes, "hey sucker, you gotta pee!" and after you pee, you don't feel like going back to sleep. it's the same as the urge to pee during your sleeping hours.
"hey sucker, you gotta pee!"
looking through guitars and i still have fender fetishes. it's like wow, strat, telecaster, jaguar and a mustang. oh, screw the cyclone, it's disgusting. i'd love to own a cij someone and maybe even a mia. i would love to own an esp eclipse too. a les paul would be very good too, a gibson one. lastly, the white falcon, by gretsche. very commercial, coz i'm not deep into it. well, they are good guitars.
scheisse, i've got a damn headache. arh... be back later!

end of the road, take a turn into a new lane...
it's the end of my iap. also nearly the end of my school. looking back, i've been doing alot of stupid things because of a girl. or rather girls. spent so much time, effort and energy on worthless things. kept driving people about studying hard yet they are not rooting themselves in their books and making the effort. there are people that i'm really proud of, but there are also people that i despise. you can all it quits for local uni and start saving up for NSW or some foreign uni that accepts the diploma of yours. i dun look down on them, but they have higher chances of letting you get in. it's the money factor.
it's a pretty good day, i was studying applied mechanics yesterday and had my lunch for free by my colleagues. they are cool people, even though they are quite education inclined. the usual topic they speak with me was ns. haha. seems like ns is going to be fun, taking from their point of view. mentally, i'm pretty prepared to get a beating from the sergeants, physically, i need some work on that.
the end of the road is very near, and i sure miss some people in poly. however, some of them are not worth to be missed. i'm not in the mood these days, and i dun put on my facade, to show how pathetic they are to piss someone that lasted for 3 whole years.
