Am I ever going to stop doing this? By 'this' I mean sitting down to write the paper that's been floating in my head for ages, and the paper was planted in my head to begin with because I thought it was a good idea; but after writing out some parts of it, I start to wonder if the idea is actually good. 'Wonder' is perhaps understating the ( Read more... )

Look at this incredibly talented and amazingly skilled driver who intelligently parked his car next to mine at Raffles City this afternoon:

After a long period of deliberation, I have finally decided to abandon Diaryland and shift over to Livejournal, here.
There's nothing in there yet, save for the early entries from 2001 and 2002 that I've been painstakingly and manually moving over the entire afternoon. The aim is to move all my entries there, though it's quite obviously going to be ( Read more... )

After the FMS thing yesterday, Wei Chuen and I met at Great World City because we couldn't think of anywhere else to go. He was supposed to come up with a place while I had my hearing but when I checked my phone afterwards, I got this: "Um can't think of anywhere. How."

He's so helpful, right? I know.

Anyway, I had no idea how to get to Great World ( Read more... )

I am Sticky Chewy Chocolate.
Well, sticky for sure. Chewy and Chocolate...not so much.

Forgot to mention this: I got my first speeding ticket yesterday. The place of the offence? Upper Bukit Timah, the stretch opposite Courts, going towards Clementi/King Albert Park.

HOW UTTERLY PREDICTABLE. It really couldn't have been anywhere else. On non-peak ( Read more... )

Very bad day. Very bad mood. Very bad Chinese vegetarian Edu-Dine food (for the record, I generally hate Chinese vegetarian. Mock meats are generally gross).
You know it's a bad day when you're met with your second minor driving mishap since the first one a year and a half ago. I drove to 7-11 (which is like at the road next to mine) to buy fresh ( Read more... )

First, this entry might come across as slightly elitist, for which I offer my most sincere apologies. In my defence...well, I don't have much of one, except I can't help it, and it's more a reflection on myself than my fellow school mates. If that helps.
So I attended my first non-law lecture ever, Nation Building. After 40 minutes of purely ( Read more... )

I don't understand why or how it is that people who seemingly can neither speak nor understand English can be working in the service industry. Add a totally shitty attitude to the mix and what do we get? A winner - not. Two incidents:

One. I went to the Botanic Garden (botanical? Whatever) food court after class today to buy back some Indian food ( Read more... )

I woke up at 12.30 today and instantly felt the urge to watch Roger Federer play tennis. I re-watched his match against Djokovic until he bagged the third set, after which I played Elven Blood on Facebook before going to swim.
It's much easier to talk about inconsequential things like Roger and tennis so I'll just say that I don't remember why ( Read more... )

I watched Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations this afternoon. It was one of his episodes on Singapore which intrigued me enough to sit through cringe-worthy and puke-inducing segments like fishing and watching the fish suffocate to death, a shark's head being cooked, Sri Lanka crabs picked out of a bucket and subsequently fried, chilli-style.
