This blog is pronounced dead
It's kinda obvious isn't it?
But the links on the left are pretty useful, and since I have a habit of going back to this blog after leaving it for a while(hopefully I don't do that in life), I'll keep this here.
For now, I am officially Tumblring over!

Not that I'm qualified and all but I don't need a Degree in order to bitch right?
Over the years I've never understood why Sumiko Tan is STILL writing the column for Sunday Times. I mean, moat of the time she's just plain boring; the only times when she isn't is when she starts talking about being single end up sounding more like she's trying to reassure herself that it's ok.
Last week's column simply proved my point that she is so damn boring: one HALF-PAGE article on how she put on braces, types of braces(is this Lifestyle or Mind Your Body?!), how she couldn't eat(awwww~), how she cut herself on the braces(again, awwwww~), throw in a few thoughts here and there, try and link up with some 'life lessons'... TA-DAA! Sumiko Tan's latest article.
If you ask me, she's really just trying to tell herself: "I'm being vain and probably dumb but hey, I went through shit and it was really torturous so its okay to be vain! xoxoxoxo".
If I had known writing blog-posts can get me a weekly column in Sunday Times I would've sent mine in years ago.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Closed
Simply because I like the book and I can't anything else to use as a header.
Oh, and its not a typo; I changed the tense to make it bit more personal.
[/edit]
And then I decided its too ugly. Zzzz.

Financial crisis
Starting the holi-holidays~ with a movie date and then BBQ meet-up with the mad people of CS!
This holiday is going to be different and I'm looking forward to Senior's camp(hopefully I can go) and Orientation when school starts. (deliberately misses out release of results end May)
BUT FIRST. I need moolah.

Name calling
NEWS OF THE DAY:
"The 'helix-shaped' pedestrian bridge to Marina Bay Sands has been officially named: The Helix."
I can't believe they actually thought of that! The creativity, the ingenuity, oh man I NEVER would have been able to come up with such a novel idea for the bridge!
Think about it! The human DNA also comes in the shape of a Helix and by naming the bridge after the Helix, it signifies the bridge as the core building block of the success of Marina Bay Sands! And guess what, the most incredible thing about this is that the name corresponds to the shape of the bridge OH MY GAWDDDDDDD so witty!!!!111
This really adds on to Singapore's glorious history of naming famous landmarks in Singapore which really inspired me to want to do great things.
Remember the Budget Terminal? Totally representative of the services offered and you should applaud the improvement from 'Terminal 1' and 'Terminal 2'. A whopping six-words improvement! And the pun there, 'budget' and 'terminal', so funnny!!
How about the Orchard Central? Did you get the wordplay there? Did you? DID YOU? I'm sure you didn't!
It's the CENTRE OF ORCHARD! Like, you know, right smack in the middle? Surrounded by all the other shopping centres, so its in the CENTRAL of ORCHARD, hence ORCHARD CENTRAL! Omgosh soooo witty, bet'cha never thought of that right? HAH.
Oh, and how can we forget the $400,000 spent by URA to find a brand name for Marina Bay to sell major developments? Who else in the whole of Singapore would have thought that we can name Marina Bay as, wait for it... wait for it...
MARINA BAY! I slapped my head and asked myself why hadn't i thought of that, seriously! That was really money well-spent eh.
Last but not least, my all-time favourite, the single biggest creative achievement which had really inspired me to take on the Creative industry, tackling one of the most boring names and changing it into something entire mind-blowing and different:
Science Centre, Singapore (Previously known as The Singapore Science Centre)

Isn't it sad
that I'm 21 and still feeling bad for wasting a day because I didn't study?
No this isn't one of those times when I'm trying to play down expectations and fake it so that when I really do screw up my exams I can act all nonchalant and say that its because I didn't study.
My fundamentals are already there, so if I do screw up the exams its only because I screwed them up.
I just think that its sad that I have my youth in my hands, and yet I'm constantly feeling guilty for not having done enough.
I rested one whole day after two exam papers yesterday. Shouldn't I take it as well-deserved rest?
Yet what's going through my mind is that I'm 'wasting time' and I've been constantly trying to get my ass to getting something done when I'm obviously not productive.
Oh well. Back to the books I guess.
Remember
I like how in CS we meet new people and these new people are never afraid to say hi.
It actually makes me feel like I have many friends even though I've always believed that I'm socially inept.
But I stick by the belief that at the end of the day, we only need that one or two(in my case, 3 excluding the gf) people who'll stick by you no matter how far we are apart.
We need a supper when all these madness is over.
