MUG MUG MUG...
Oh man, this could very well be a guiness world record man, record of the total number of people mugging simultaneously during exam periods...
haha... really darn unproductive yesterday and today...
was intending to store power by sleeping the whole of yesterday away in order to pia today and yet, i was hampered by buying Sugui's birthday present and and attending Cheang's Father funeral...
really darn anti-climax isn't it?
doing a happy occasion activity followed by a sad one...
sigh...
and it only goes to show one thing, we aren't getting any younger...
birthdays are adding on to the number and the elders are gradually passing off to eternal paradise...
Well, thats life isn't it?
life that brings both happiness and sorrows...
So drama, so helpless...
but really, thats the reason why we exist, to act out our part, to be part of other pple's lives, and i'm sure that if all of us were given a choice to choose whether to become a god or human being, most of us would be contented to be a human again cos we get to experience LOVE...
oh well, enough preaching...
I just wanna say,
Exams are coming, better work hard...
MAke a difference now before the difference in future shows up to claim debts...
To all my friends out there... who's mugging... who's slacking... who's doing things u dun want pple to know but which everyone knows and keep quiet...
GOOD LUCK!!!!!
See all of u after my exams!!!
And just a reminder to all, please spare some time for me cos i might organise a BBQ after the exams to celebrate "something" which will be belated by then...hahaha... *hintz hintz*

More
quizzes..
Your girlfriend score is 86.
Nicely done, nicely done. You like her, your friends like her, your parents like her. You really can't go wrong. Sounds like you've found a chick who knows when to hold them, knows when to fold them--and that's in reference to your laundry. If you think you can do better, you're probably wrong.
She did
one too..
Your boyfriend score is
98.
Very impressive. Truly you are the envy of your peers. Of course, it begs the question--are you good enough for him? Might be time for a better girlfriend test...

Tried this
quiz...
eXpressive: 7/10
Practical: 7/10
Physical: 7/10
Giver: 6/10
You are a
XPYG--Expressive Practical Physical Giver. This makes you a
Roving Spouse.
You are magnetic, charming, and impossible to resist. You have no problem with approaching your target sex -- it just comes naturally to you, and the thrill of warming up a stranger is one of your great drives. Still, very few people really know you. You don't just *feel* misunderstood -- you are. You are probably nursing a heartache that you never let on.
You're calm in a conflict (almost *too* calm -- a more emotional partner may wonder why you're not more engaged) and quick with affection. Fighting makes you uncomfortable, but as you avoid direct conflict your frustrations can manifest in the cold shoulder and passive-aggression, which is no better! Still, you make a loving, doting parent -- giving more love than discipline -- and your children prefer you.
Like an XSYG, you put so much thought and effort in what you give to your partner that you feel dismissed and unappreciated if you don't get the same in return. You also give and think so much that you can also talk yourself into cheating -- physically or emotionally -- and this can lead a cycle of conflict, guilt, conflict-avoidance, chilly atmosphere and then more cheating. But you'll stay with your partner in the long run from guilt and a desire to please.
p/s: Shit man, and i thought i was reserved... haha, but i'll try my best la dear, not gonna give u up...

Wiping away my tears, feelings flow thru my mind...
I finally got to watch the film "Serendipity", i finally found it on ares, thanks to some kind- hearted person who ripped it, let me found it, and downloaded it...
Coincidentally, today is also 3 months exactly of my new relationship with Yanxin, and perhaps it was also serendipity that found us...
Definition of Serendipity:
1. The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident.
2. The fact or occurrence of such discoveries.
3. An instance of making such a discovery.
[From the characters in the Persian fairy tale The Three Princes of Serendip, who made such discoveries, from Persian Sarandp, Sri Lanka, from Arabic sarandb.] seren·dipi·tous adj.
seren·dipi·tous·ly adv.
Word History: We are indebted to the English author Horace Walpole for the word serendipity, which he coined in one of the 3,000 or more letters on which his literary reputation primarily rests. In a letter of January 28, 1754, Walpole says that "this discovery, indeed, is almost of that kind which I call Serendipity, a very expressive word." Walpole formed the word on an old name for Sri Lanka, Serendip. He explained that this name was part of the title of "a silly fairy tale, called The Three Princes of Serendip: as their highnesses traveled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of...."
Just thinking about what i've gone thru really touched me...
Just 2 years ago, my world was thrown into turmoil when i encountered my first and only break-up, i was down in slumps, in the worst of hell(or so I thought)...
Resigning to fate, I had tried finding love in various means...
Clubbing was the hottest thing in this time, a simple chat and some flirtatious words, and relationships could be form in a blink of an eye...
I was there, I tried, and it works easily...
The girls I was dancing with...
The game of giving what each other what we want without losing too much of ourselves...
Yes, no doubt it was fun, no doubt it was thrilling and sexy and spicy...
But guys, when the fog clears and the lights transformed from neon to warm lights,
How many times do we find that all these "gems" are not what we need?
Aren't all these just illusions that seek to distort our perception of needs and wants?
Haha, good thing the stats for relationships ending in marriages are very little, else the divorce rate for Singapore will be even higher... And this goes to show one thing as illustrated by a saying that "By nature, all guys are thrill-seekers, but at the end of the day, they'll still return to the very one woman that they have in their hearts." So girls, dun worry that sometimes guys wanna flirt for fun and nothing more serious than that, cos they still know who they real gem is. And guys, that doesn’t mean flirting has been given the green light cos it does puts strain on the relationship.
The thing is, once u've found the gem of your life, hold on to it like it'll be the only one u'll ever find (this happens to be true most of the time), and it applies to all...
I'm not here to have a tell-all about what happened between me and my girlfriend(cos I know she will be too paiseh haha), but serendipity certainly plays a big part in linking us up. Interested pple can approach and ask us but no promises haha...
At this point in my life, all I can say is, she fixed up my life, made me wholesome again...
She made me see the fact that there's no point in hanging on to the past and ignoring the future cos I'll be missing a lot of goodies(including her)...
She showed me support and guidance which the past does not teach nor give me…
In short, she is just like:
-The only packet of instant noodles that just seems to appear in my house whenever I'm dying of hunger and there’s nothing else to eat...(the gem properties)
-Simple in design of the packaging but which contains all the nutrition facts behind (You just have to find it.)
-The packet that comes with extra big serving that satisfy u when for all other brands, u need to cook 2 packets.(value added)
-One setback...Its vegetarian flavour... (haha, no offense, but i dun mind eating ur non-vegetarian cooking)
Well, it's a magical 3 months that we've been thru and I can see that things will only get better, dun u think so dear?
This post is dedicated to my gf, yx, for being my instant noodles...
