Phrase of the day
Nothing is impossible if you can read almost 90 pages of journal articles on the computer in a single day.
Gambatte gal.

crap
I'm sitting in-front of the computer in the H blk com lab listening to May Day's Monkey God. I've just "finished" our Management presentation slides with Eliz. Around me are 2 groups of people doing their FYP. I sit here munching on my sandwich that is my lunch as i wait for Fifi to come to start on our FYP also. At the same time, i'm trying to recall which assignments are due next week when sch reopens.
I'm here to tell you wat an incredible thing has happened to me. Me, the person who is crazy about computer. Me, the person who prefers to type rather than write. Me, the person who is considered the PC guru at home, is actually getting sick of the computer.
It's incredible because for the first time in my 21 years of life, i actually felt SICK of it.
This is just one of the major changes i've noticed in myself. Others include things like decreased appetite, perpetual poor sleep, decreased volition etc. I'm actually getting quite worried about myself.
It may be because the stress of being a 3rd yr student finally caught up to me. I have no idea whether i'm stressed or not, coz in the past when i do feel stressed, i'll go buy a CD or 2. Or go buy manga. But now, spending money on such stuff revolts me. Ah! this is also one change tt i'm quite concerned about.
But anyway, other than feeling tired more easily, i'm quite fine with the changes. Reduced appetite doesn't mean my physical work capacity reduced. So in actual fact, i think this is a good thing to kick start my slimming plan. I think it's all very good, and i have no inclination to increase my appetite again. It's just tt it became a pain when i have to reject my mum's offer to bring me to buffet coz i noe i wun eat much.
the main concern i have is the reduction of leisure pursuits. Being an to-be OT myself, this is definitely more than a concern, its a problem. Hafta resolve this somehow.
Argh crap. i dunno wat i've typed so far. i shall continue to much on my sandwich and muse about... things. Like when will Jay Chou's new CD be released. haha. tt's a definite source of leisure =)

NAPFA
i think i owe it to someone-out-there, so here i am, blogging my results....
I FAILED.
ah. tt's not a surprise. since i've always said i'll fail Napfa. The second un-surprising piece of info is tt i failed becoz of my 2.4km. i took 18min+. i think i'm the last one in class to come in.
Shd i cry? did i cry? except for abit of whines to demonstrate tt i'm actually unhappy about failing, i was feeling, on the contrary, quite proud of myself. Coz i got this timing despite me stubbornly refusing to train for the past 8 weeks, while comparing when in i was sec sch, my timing has always been 20min+ despite weekily PE lessons.
And of course, the fact tt i did 8 pull ups was something to be proud of too. Despite the fact tt i did better when i was in JC1. Coz again, i didn't train at all.
Was v happy tt i didn't fail my standing broad jump and sit and reach.
I think it's all very fair and nice, and reflects accurately on someone as unfit as me.
So you ask, since i know where's my weak point, will i go train my stamina my engaging in morning / evening jogs? The answer is a definte NO. Reason is simple. My rectus femoris and biceps are still aching now, 3 days post the test. Tt's it. i do not exercise to subject myself to inhumane pain and immobility.
I hope i'll recover by tues. i still feel like playing squash or gg swimming tt day. Depends on who's available to accompany me then.
In the meantime, i shall engage in table top activities such as completing my assignments and projects while i wait for my muscles to heal from all the micro-tears.

FF7: Advent Children
just went to surf net to get more info.
Discovery no. 1: apparently the story take place 2 years later the end of the game, so tt means the Aerith will either play a very small part in it, or she will be revived! dun think they'll revive her though. I got a feeling tt the game producers always have something against Aerith. Like setting her to be so weak but yet not giving much opprtunity to train her up as well. PLUS they let her die in the game. darn.
Oh, and the 2nd major discovery is... the movie won't be released in the theatres! It'll be out directly on DVD... and it'll be released ard 13th sept! woohoo~
Btw, Anybody knows how much does 4800 yen translate to be in S$? issit expensive?

words of a bored woman
I'm bored. I'm bored. I'm bored i'm bored i'm bored i'm bored i'm bored i'm bored i'm bored i'm bored....
It's so rare to have a wednesday off, when both teachers decided to make the 4 hours of lesson self-directed, yet i'm bored bored bored.
Having proudly finished reading almost all (lest the thickest 4) journal articles required for the lit review for the depressing FYP, frankly speaking, i'm tempted to go play Maple once again. No! i shall resist the temptation. Maybe i should go cook maggi mee for lunch.. But i'm not hungry! argh~ bored bored bored.
Maybe i should make a trip to Funan later. mm. but i don't feel like going out. sianx.
Maybe the boredom will disappear if i crap here. What should i crap? mm.
Have anybody hear of the coming jap anime movie called Final Fnatasy 7: Advent Children? I got the trailer from Siqi the Jaws, and woohoo! i so damn excited! Finally! i found another movie that i'm interested in after Initial D!! I really hope the show's coming to S'pore... if not.. hrm. i expect the VCD will be imported if it's not showing. i think tt happened to the previous Final Fantasy movie: The Spirits Within (cool~ i remembered the title finally hahaha).
So cool tt they're using back all the same characters as they appeared in the game! i'm looking so forward to it. Abit tempted to play FF7 once again to refresh my memory, but no. i don't have time, i'm currently engaged in Maple Story, and I can only play FF7 on my old PC becoz the new PC somehow doesn't wanna run the prog and playing it on the old PC may cause it to crash and i need to print with my old PC. No no no.
Argh... i'm still feeling bored. Should i Maple? mm. Lemme try to crap more.
I hope my mum wun come back so early today.. The reason is both due to my recent anti-social mindset, and also because i told a little lie in the morning to her.. i told her i haf lessons at 1 in sch hahaha... WHY should i do tt? Coz my mum has this overseas friend that came over to S'pore, and he keeps wanting to come over to my house to have dinner.. Being in an anti-social mode this past days, i have no wish to play host to this strange man. But when i suggest tt when he come over i'll stay later in sch to do my assignments, my mum went: "no! come home earlier! He wants to see you!" So the recent strategy had been to check on when he's coming over everyday, so tt i can make an excuse saying i have proj discussion in sch.. dunno when it'll end, and then go home late. hahaha. i'm feeling mean and evil. But really, why should i entertain her friend when all she does is say Hi and retreat to her room whenever i had mine over to my house? non-logical. I demand fairness.
Talking about bad moods. Ytdy i went berserk becoz of this Prudential agent. Stupid guy. How can you give quality service when u're always not around when i need to speak to you? How dare you always disregard my issues and give suggestions tt thwart wat i want? Fine. Maybe it's becoz u're new in the line and don't know how to convince pple in a better way, but hey! things as simple as keeping to your words can be done rite? I expect to get your phonecall when you say "Why not you call me when you're free? If not, i'll call you after 5pm." I waited til i sleep, which is after 12 mn, thinking tt if you call me b4 tt i'll forgive you. Too bad you didn't. So tt's it. Save your breathe. i'm cancelling the stupid policy tt has been giving me so much headache over the past weeks. Toidi.
Luckily those frustration build up just b4 biomech. And during biomech we had a session of str assessment, and me and eliz went ard doing the stations, much like the dreaded NAPFA. It must have been like what Sid said: I must have been dis-inhibited, coz although most stations are testing the str of triceps (which i though was rather unreasonable, since the test is obviously for arm str, and triceps would naturally be one of the least activated muscle of all!) i think my name (and Eliz's) was among the top few of the list. The most incredible thing was during the isometric test on the wheelchair, i actually turned it into a concentric activity, because somehow i managed to pull the load with Sid along on it!! WHY?? My triceps are totally weak and flabby, and my pec major doesn't feel that developed either! I must have been totally dis-inhibited. hahaha...
But it feels good to expend all that energy. I suspect tt subconciously i'm trying to vent all my frustrations of the day through physical exertions. I didn't notice it tt time, cause it simply felt good. NOW i'm feeling the after effects of it. Both my pec major are in pain, and so is my left triceps. Felt it when i was turning on my bed this morning. Ouch. But luckily it's paining now, and not like the delayed onset Joanna had. At least i think early onset means tt it won't be as severe as Joanna's. Or if it ever become so severe, i hope it can last til next thurs, so tt i can use it as an excuse to skip NAPFA. hahaha~ dream on gal.
Oh oh! i don't feel so bored now! and i feel hungry too! i shall go and cook my mee.. and hopefully after lunch i can continue with the 4 remaining journals.. hehx.
