time flies

i'm up rushing my assignment but as you can obviously tell, i'm distracted. i thought my blog would get more love from me this year, well apparently not. post grad is indeed different from undergrad. you'd think that you are used to how uni works by now but no, i'm struggling all over again.

it's not all school's fault. LDR has some blame too. whoever said absence makes the heart grows fonder is an idiot. you just miss the person like crazy at the beginning, then it just becomes annoying because you think you're going mad.

ok, that was just my little update/rant. fyi, it's almost end of mid-semester break. (where has all the time gone?!)

don't be a cock

so you all know about my stupid ex-housemate. he's not staying with us anymore.. and i thought i'll finally have some peace and quiet this semester. but nooo.. he had to piss me off again. it's about the utility bill la.. but that's not the point. it's what he posted on fb that pissed me off.

- when someone tries to get money out of u...first they lie...and when the lie is exploited they reason...and when the reasoning is flawed they whine...wonder what the hell is wrong with them -

we(roh and i) attached the bill and showed him the calculations. everything was laid out for him to see. tell me in what way we lied? more like argued the whole way la.. well, we did try to start with reasoning but you can understand my frustration when people don't understand simple english. in the end, they make up their own story and just trap themselves in that pathetic tiny bubble. i also want to ask him what the hell is wrong with him. i don't know why he thinks we're out to cheat his money, because seriously i don't need his stinking cash! just who does he thinks he is? the audacity he has to accuse me of something like that just really makes my blood boil. it's my integrity he's playing at now, and i'm seriously not happy. this is no longer just at my financial expanse ok and i'm definitely not going to allow that to happen. i will demand that he pays his share even if it's a measly $20. why the heck should i penalise myself in this situation, right?

he says he don't want to pay for 'things he didn't use'... i mean, when he was around and the only one cooking, we also split the gas bill 3-ways what. we also had to pay for things we didn't use. he and his petty little mind cannot seem to fathom that he is making things VERY difficult for us despite his claims of 'not trying to be difficult'. i really had enough of all his crap, and so has roh. we definitely don't need such nonsense to mess up our happy lives and i'm determined to see that through.

anyway, tell you something quite funny. he finally deleted me from fb. HAHA! stupid childish moron. he deleted roh long time ago la.. that's not surprising. then i found out that he blocked me from his wall after a while. just more recently(last night in fact), i found out he blocked pow even! maybe because the last time he posted something, i also heard about it. but anyways, this time my friend(who wishes to remain anonymous) saw it and told me about it. i mean seriously, how many people does he want to block from his wall..? damn childish la. and today i confronted him about the bill issue.. by mid day, he deleted me as a friend. it's official then... he's no longer my friend. yay! (well, that's the only positive thing i can get out of this whole episode)

while typing this entry, i suddenly remembered these famous words, as spoken by my bbf.. DON'T BE A COCK. very appropriate for this loser i must say. thanks for the words of wisdom ben.

what a load of crap!

remember the unhappy housemate issue i mentioned a while back..? well, there are some updates. apparently, the news travelled back to singapore and it's making me damn pissed.

about a week back, gabriel msn-ed me. initially i thought he was going to talk to me about the issue, given that he's always been like my big brother but he didn't mention it at all. i figured it was probably hard for him to start on the topic since he knows what kind of temper i have. then more recently, david msn-ed me. david.. whom i believe i've not talked to on msn for more than 5 times, came and started a conversation with me. started with small talk, then he gave his comments about the issue. it wasn't much la, he just said..

"apparently things are not going too well over at the apartment"

"we did talk to kyler a few wks back"

"he also shared his feelings... heh"

"but i guess u are kinda like the middleman that got pulled into the problem"

"oh well... lets hope it will turn out fine"

my replies were mostly one word answers because i really didn't want to talk about it.. not when he's only got one side of the story. he's probably just concerned for his friend and he didn't lecture me, so i'm cool.

i just found out that this is now the talk of the class. but everything is just kyler's side of the story. i won't fail to mention names (or name rather) this time because i don't think he deserves any of my respect. to any of my fellow schoolmates who are reading/may hear about this, please don't come to me and tell me to work things out. the fact is that kyler choose not to even try and work it out. things weren't going his way and that was enough reason to pull out. so technically, there's was nothing i could do. all the sad things that you hear happening to him are all his own doings. he chose to leave our project group and join others. he chose to not get white bulbs for his room when roh and i offered to split the cost of it and then complain that he has to sit at the dining table to do work because his room is not bright enough.

i could go on forever but i really can't be bothered. i'm not trying to act like the victim and i most definitely don't need any sympathy votes. i find kyler hypocritical and petty and that's the opinion i'm entitled to have. as long as you have no problem with my warped opinion, i'll be fine with yours.

*roll on grass*

yes.. it's finally here. the long anticipated preview of ROLL ON GRASS. yay! dajie had her 'roll on snow'.. now, i with my 'roll on grass'. think raisa can do a 'roll on sand' in sentosa or something. joey and hongwei burst out laughing when i asked them to record it for me.

since we're into videos, i suddenly remembered these...

haha! sorry ben and moxi.. but i think it's a pity to not post these up. it's classic leh!

marathon updates

results and photos are out. my official timing... 8hours 36 minutes!! *TA-DAH* alright.. it ain't an awesome achievement. but still, to have completed a marathon is a personal feat.. even if i walked about 25km of it.

tim showed me my results today morning. i have no idea how he found it without knowing my bib number though. thanks tim.. you're great. 

this is one person i really need to thank. i can't imagine what a bore it must be for gabriel to have to walk for over 8 hours. but he was really sporting.. 

struggling with my feet, calves, hams and glutes aching.

my 'glorious' finish!

(very slow) finisher of 42.195km!

my first ever marathon. it was dreadful!! but that's my fault because i barely trained. after i registered, i still ran occasionally. then the past 2 months, i totally didn't make the effort to run.. due to work and some stuff. the most common thing i hear about marathons is that it's more of a mental game rather than a physical one. but for me.. it's more physical than mental. my legs gave way before i even came to the half-way mark. thank you gabriel for 'leaving no man behind'. really couldn't do it without his company and encouragement. once again, thanks bro! it's still an experience.. just a rather horrid one. but still can get quite high.. especially when i 'ran' across the finish line. oh, saw quite a few people along the way. well, mostly because they overtook me.. haha. saw frank, tzehui, wenrui, wilson and slyvia(fellow rafflesian.. whom i didn't recognise until we stared at each other for 5 seconds). saw kiewu along the way too.. he was helping out. there was a middle-aged couple that we chatted with along the way.. because the lady's legs were cramping too. i think it's very sweet to try to do a marathon together with someone special.. even if it hurts like hell. guess it's just for the experience.. like the lady said, "do it once and for all".

end of the day.. i did managed to achieve what i set out to do, get the finisher tee. (:

confus-ed/ing

watched bad habits.. finally. movie wise.. it's good, on to other stuff.. it's been quite unexpected. i really don't know, now i'm slightly confused. or rather, i just can't decide. this is no fun. i shall give it serious thought, at least try to. hate to think it'll screw up. but yea, the choice is mine. God.. help me decide. i can take no for an answer(even though that sucks). help me please!
