wassup with the weather?

it's been really hot n humid lately. and it really gets on my nerves, especially when a film of perspiration is perpetually on the surface of my skin. the perspiration's supposed to evaporate to cool me down, but it seems to be stuck to my skin, as though it's reached steady-state conditions. given the heat transfer coefficients i would be able to tell u the thickness of this pesky film of perspiration....

anyway, i've promised to blog abt the rain. i hope it rains, like... now. hate it when the rain teases me. Dark gloomy skies with heavy cumulonimbus clouds stretching into the horizon, makes one wait for the rain to start pouring down. but it nv comes... how disappointing.

i think i luv the rain. not the wussy drizzle, but the torrential rain. luv the sound, luv the smell, luv the feeling of it beating on my skin. still remember when i was around 5 yrs old, when i was still living with my grandparents, i'd stare out of the windows and watch the rain pour down onto the traffic below, soaking in the sights and smell of a heavy downpour. and then enjoy the sight of the flock of birds flying around and making a ruckus like wat they do every evening when the season comes after the rain has subsided.

one of the latest memorable experience with the rain was during ATEC 3 years ago. i had to be a relay station for one mission. and i had to spend one whole nite out on a hill. it was quite an experience, especially when ur alone, somewhat, in the wilderness. the nite sky was great. getting 'stranded' in the wilderness nv felt so good, especially when im far away from all the people and vehicles. it's juz my rifle and my radioset and me-eeeee-eeeeee~!!! hahaha . anyway, it started to pour in the deep of the nite, and it only got heavier as time passed. it was quite uncomfortable initially, but u get to enjoy it when u know u cant hide from it haha. wat twisted logic this is, u might think. but it's true. hahaha. and soon it was daybreak and i managed to take shelter in a scout APC when it passed by my location.

this experience reaffirmed one of my guiding principles in life: if u cant do anything abt the situation ur in, might as well make the best out of it. ^^ i find it really pointless when ppl bitch and whine non-stop when they get stuck in a sticky situation they got no control over. well, i dun really mind the whining and the bitching, but pls be useful. a gd example would be our favourite Oyster~!! ^^

feel good...

despite struggling to finish revision for exams, i've decided to carry on with giving tuition today; not for the money but more of obligation and hoping that it would help my tutee with his mid year exams next week... and things seemed to have taken a turn for the better today, at least thats what it seemed lol. his maths seems to be improving after making him do questions after questions. and it felt gd... i think he feels it too ^^

more positive energy for the exams weeeeeeee~!!

howling wind~

blow wind blow~ it's so windy tonite, heralding the storm that follows the bright red nite sky... this reminds me of the day i finished my matlab exam 1 year back. it was my last paper for my second semester, and it was held at mpsh 5. i felt euphoria after finishing that paper cos, for 1, i knew i aced it the moment i handed it in, but more imptly, that symbolic turning in of that exam paper meant the start of a long long break till the next sem started... like tonite, i was greeted by a crazy storm when i walked out of that airconblasted hall. yet i felt high and no amount of rain could have dampened my spirit, well maybe a freak storm would, but that will nv happen in singapore, will it? lol

soooooo looking forward to 7 may weeeeeeee~!!!

well now, back to enjoying the symphony of nature~!!

i'll do a post abt rain next time...

oh, before i forget. sirliang is coming back to singapore with the rest of the YEP team weeeeeeeee~!!!

ok time to go fight the zee monster now... and maybe some lucid dreaming :P

btw, i failed to finish all the 2125 papers today zzz... i sux

-sighz-

woohoo~!! 2 more days to go~!!

weeeeeee~!! it's wednesday~!! 2 more days to the first paper. im feeling rejuvenated after slacking the whole of yesterday, and sleeping so early at 10, strictly speaking, 12. yesterday was a fiasco, perhaps for the cn 3124 revision i had on monday. im confident of finishing all the past yr papers for cn2125 today yay~!!

breakfast first, then off to school~!! weeeeeeee~!!

"u r at ur thing again"

being "at my thing" seems to have different effects on different people, more counts of bad than gd (with a count of 1 so far, i think) it seems. y? i shall attribute it to ppl being too caught up in their own issues that they're unable to extricate themselves to look at things in a different (brighter) light. wat's so bad abt putting things into a new perspective?

wassup with people being so obsessed with pessimism? i shall call it the drug of the new-century-Singapore. everyday, we see ppl worrying/lamenting/(insert all negative verbs here) - indulging in pessimism. and wassup with ppl telling others to look on the brighter side of life, when they cant practise wat they preach?

-sighz- hypocrites and cowards abound...

as the saying goes, "if u cant beat them, join them". maybe i should quit "doing my thing" and embrace pessimism... ppl might, then, listen to what i say... for if one's existence does not cause ripples in the lives of others, that existence is ethereal... then, living a life of a hermit definitely beats living among ppl...

~~free ur mind, and the rest will follow~~
