...Lol.

"Ascending and descending at night isn't particularly complex. Just keep in mind that in the dark, you have to be more deliberate in watching where you're going, controlling your buoyancy, and gauging your ascent/descent speed."

Yeah right. Sounds pretty complex to me -.-

O_O

Better late than never.

I skipped school today, again.

But starting today, i'm going to catch up on everything i've missed over the whole semester. I know, it's already almost the end of the sem. But it took me this long to wake up. Or rather, it took me this long to clear off everything else in my life that I thought was priority.

Discipline. I need it.

-

Things i've done.

I woke up. Did a few crunches. Said hello to Kinty. Had a milo.

And did work.

If I had gone to school, i'd be sitting in class, not paying attention, repeatedly picking up cards from the floor, occasionally flipping the textbook to read a line or two.

And blogging or something. ...Wait. Oops.

Today, i've finished studying the 5 chapters for diving, ACL quiz that's due today as well as next week's ACL assignment + quiz, marketing slides, AA205 slides, and packed for my trip + a bit of my wardrobe.

:)

Object permanence.

Is it possible to combine Jean Piaget's cognitive development theory and Sigmund Freud's fixation? Okay, of course not. Unless your brain is damaged or something. But here's the idea of object permanence.

"The sensorimotor stage in a child is from birth to approximately two years. During this stage, a child has relatively little competence in representing the environment using images, language, or symbols. An infant has no awareness of objects or people that are not immediately present at a given moment. Piaget called this a lack of object permanence. Object permanence is the awareness that objects and people continue to exist even if they are out of sight. In infants, when a person hides, the infant has no knowledge that they are just out of sight. According to Piaget, this person or object that has disappeared is gone forever to the infant."

Life must've been really scary when we were babies. Funny how I can relate to that feeling now. Not literally, of course.

Fear of abandonment/loss/loneliness.

It's simple economics.

The person with the alternatives has the most bargaining power.

Life's never fair.

Soul Funky & Random Doodles

Thanks for making me smile today :)

The house is empty. Again.

Woke up from my nap, feeling disoriented. The first thing I asked myself was, "What the hell is going on?"

Then I realised. I've been asking myself that question way too often in the past few months. And I haven't been able to give myself an answer.

Sometimes, it isn't up to me.

I wish dreaming wasn't so tiring. Life outside of a dream is tiring enough.

I wish I could drag myself out of the pits once and for all.

Advanced Open Water

Like I mentioned in a tweet, i'll be leaving to Tioman this long weekend; departing on Thursday night and returning on Sunday night. Mom decided that instead of a recreational dive holiday, we might as well take the chance to get our Advanced Open Water certification.
It's 11:11 and I made a wish for you.
We'll be doing 8 dives over the 3 days, if i'm not wrong. There'll be a night dive too. I foresee it being like this:
Even though I don't believe in it.
Wake up -> Breakfast -> Dive -> Rest on beach -> Dive -> Rest on beach -> Dive -> Die on beach -> Dinner -> Sleep -> Rinse&repeat

Dope. Seems pretty cool until you realise that all the book talks about is being safe, how to treat decompression illness, and all the other dangerous things that could happen. It's as though such happenings are common. And they probably are.

Hope I come back in one piece :)

Important Life Skills

- When using peppermint shampoo, keep eyes and mouth shut.

- After taking a nap, check if arm is numb before attempting to raise it above your face while you're lying down. Gravity exists.

- Chances are, one of your legs is numb too. Remember not to stand up and attempt to walk to your computer table, in order to avoid having to struggle to the nearest available object for support.

I'm hibernating my weekend away.

What a wonderful world.

It's great to be able to actually have time.

One of my favourite things to do is to wake up in the morning and look out my kitchen window when it's wide open. I'll just stand there for a while admiring the sea view, the sun shining, and the cool breeze blowing. It's almost like standing at the beach.

I've lived near the sea all my life. I could see Sentosa from my old house, and when we moved to the Bayshore for a while, it was next to East Coast. And now, of course, Pasir Ris Park.

My brother and I are children of the Sze Sea :)

Yay :)

Went out to catch Alice in Wonderland with SY [finally]. Freaked each other out because of how similar we were to each other, again. I think it's nice though :) After the movie we walked around but majority of the shops were closed. At 9pm. Zzz.

Check out a few fails that we spotted just now xD

SY & I :D

Pix.

For the people who don't know lolrus.

Freudian slips. Blogger loves them. [Thanks to YN's comment box]

Normalcy.

The past few days have been pretty good; I managed to have some time off since there's no longer Soul Funky until late at night everyday. Went to town, caught a movie, walked around... stuff I haven't really managed to do over the past few months.

Yeah. Life's been good.

Now it's back to chionging projects and what-not. Catching up on what I screwed up over the whole semester so far. Though I think i've screwed up too much to be able to really catch up.

Oh well.

Law Lulz.

Prof: What is a lien?

Classmate: Someone who dyes hair... etc.

Prof: -_______- *gives proper definition* Okay. Under what circumstances can you claim a lien?

Class: *tries not to laugh*

Prof: If you're a beng.

Class: *bursts out laughing*

Prof: *sighs* ...I'm just being influenced here. Okay. Seriously. How can you claim a lien?

Classmate: When you're in a disco. And she's drunk.

LAWL.

Seen on a friend's Facebook status.

"At some point you will realize that you have done too much for someone or something, that the only next possible step to do is to stop. Leave them alone. Walk away. It’s not like you’re giving up, and it’s not like you shouldn’t try. It’s just that you have to draw the line of determination from desperation. What is truly yours would eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be."

Soul Funky LOVE.

Soul Muggers

Soul Sleepy

Soul Gamblers

Soul Gay

Soul Awesome

Yes, I remember. And I'll never forget :)

Jeremy posted this on Facebook. I was trying not to cry in the lab while I watched it. Not because of the video though. Yeahyeah call me a crybaby or whatever.

I love Soul Funky.

Finally.

JDC's over. And I already miss my fellow dancers. Soul Funky and Nutcrackers. I love how we can always have so much fun even when we're all so tired. Mugging/sleeping/gambling/screaming/practising in the jail cell/toilet.

Thank you all for giving me such a wonderful experience. It might have been exhausting but i'd do it all over again if given the chance.

Fabian, Wei Long, Jian Hui, Yuan Bin, Jian Wei, Yen Leong, Alvin, Jun Lum, Lingxiao, Yasai, Cherry, Liu Ye and of course Sein Yan. Love you guys lots :)

JDC rehearsal.

Awesome.

We're in a 'dressing room' that smells worse than the toilet next to it, even after we sprayed air freshener. And our 20 minutes to do the block run [which was already short to begin with because we have to share the time with Bboys] was shortened to 15 minutes.

Hahaha.

Daishi Dance - Spectacle

Love it.

I am...

...one seriously messed up, emotionally unstable person.

I've been for the past 3 months. And i'm way too tired to get myself out of this.

& for the first time...

I'm the one who's getting shot in a project group. And not just one project group.

Those who know me, especially from poly, would be shocked. It's never happened this way before. In fact, I was usually the one who ended up doing work for the free-riders. Not that i'm free-riding now, but I can't say i've been putting in my best for everything.

I'm not going to make excuses for myself. I can only say that many, many things happened in the past few months that affected me a lot. And that i'm sorry for screwing things up.

Yeah. Guess I really fucked up this sem.

-

Really stressed now. & I really miss you.

Aching all over.

But happy :) Choreo and blocking is finally done. And while things have not exactly gone smoothly throughout our preparation, we're on track, and it's less than a week before we'll be performing on stage.

...OMG O_O

Jiayou Soul Funky!

Up.

Give me some time to claw my way out of Hell.

I'm pretty deep down, so it'll take a while.

Retribution.

I guess Life thinks I haven't had enough of it.

-

I wish somebody, anybody, would come up to me and take my hand, and say, "Follow me, i'll take you to a place where you won't feel hurt anymore." Maybe that somebody is Death.

Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences

It's HP802 lecture 8. It's my second time in the lecture. Lol.

Anyway. The topic today is intelligence. I happened to be paying attention at this part where the prof was talking about Gardner's intelligences and about additional intelligences [I haven't heard of these before today]. This particular one caught my attention.

Existential Intelligence -- sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get here.

φιλοσοφία :)

I've never viewed it as something people could be good at; as an intelligence. I've always thought something like this was instinctive.

Cool.

-

If you have the time, check out Wei Long's blog and try the 'Who owns the fish' question :)

Damn beautiful!

From about 11 minutes. Made me wanna cry omg.

This too shall pass.

After this week.

^ most often appeared line in sem 2 blog posts.

-

First time in a very long while [probably years] that I woke up from a nightmare.

I don't like nightmares.

-

Thankquil.

Best friends always.

ISFP

You are:
- distinctively expressed introvert
- moderately expressed sensing personality
- very expressed feeling personality
- slightly expressed perceiving personality

I can't remember if it's consistent with the last time I took the other MBTI test from another site. [Edit: Yes, it is.]

MBTI from HumanMetrics.

I'm still not started on my work. Been reading past journal entries, blog entries, tweets, chatlogs. I never get sick of reading them.

Sian.

Been sleeping in order to avoid doing work. Now I have a headache.

As if it makes any sense. But yeah.

I'm just very unmotivated now.

It's Thursday.

I'm way behind schedule.
I'm tired.
I'm screwed.

& I kinda just wanna give up.

Bored Again!!!

I know, right, this is like the first time i'm updating my blog today but I just can't help it!

And you probably won't understand what i'm saying here unless you were at the JDC rehearsal. Lol. Super lame shit. What a waste of time zzz.

JDC tickets @ $15 & $18. Republic Poly. 21 March. 7pm. Let me know if you wanna go. Although judging by the previous two concerts I took part in, I probably won't get any response.

-

Just did the first run. CUI.

Omnomnomnom.
